    Gold rich area and not unlikely to find gold in a nickel or copper or .....mine.

    Indeed, gold, silver and plat group metals often nice byproducts of copper, nickel, iron, and lead mining. Rarely found in nugget form, more often from ore.

    I bet they don’t refer to it as the nickel mine anymore.
