To study how earthquakes help form the gold nuggets, scientists conducted lab experiments with quartz slabs that were submerged in gold-rich liquid.

Unlocking the mystery of gold nuggets formation in quartz veins through piezocatalysis during seismic activity.

Anomalous gold is present farther downhole as well, where a sphalerite bearing quartz vein and associated fault returned 0.69 g/t Au and 2.76 g/t Ag over 1.74m at 286.9-288.64m downhole.

Scientists have discovered exactly how earthquakes trigger quartz into forming large gold nuggets — finally solving a mystery that's puzzled researchers for decades.
