Stratigraphy & History
Gold has been found here since the Middle Ages. The recent reopening of the Cononish mine proves the lode is still rich.
Geological Context
Dalradian metamorphic rocks. Gold occurs in quartz-veined shear zones and collects in the Allt nan Smuid burn.
Field Note
Scottish gold is often found in the moss and silt caught in the "riffles" of the slate bedrock.

Economic Potential
Historical yield data suggests unrecovered fines at depth. Optimal for small-scale suction or high-banking if permitted.
