RE:gold in tillAnother Co. I own just came out with some till samples and also " pristine nuggets " which they also explainded the significance of which was helpful.
I don't think I had ever heard the term before so I've cut and pasted it here for those interested.
" Till sampling is a classical exploration method to detect specific minerals (e.g., gold grains) in glacial sediments that may indicate nearby mineralization. When glaciers erode mineral deposits in bedrock, they produce a wide range of mineralized fragment sizes (from boulders to fine particles) that are transported over variable distances. In the case of gold, grain morphology typically reflects the distance travelled: pristine-shaped grains suggest the sample may be close to the source of mineralization, rounded grains signal a distal source.
