Various Graphite Deposits versus Gold Deposits Threshold..."purity in the flake space is not comparable to purity in the hydrothermal vein space. this isn't like gold, copper, nickel etc, there are various types of graphite. there are not various types of gold, copper, nickel etc. there is the rare and valuable graphite like ZEN has and then there is flake, and amorphorous graphite."
Oh how wrong you are Threshold. Maybe you banged your head on your computer desk one too many time my friend, lol.
Stand corrected, and hopefully you, unlike the_Chief, will actually admit to your mistake.
Here you go Threshold, there are different types of gold deposits, with varying characteristics:

Two general types of auriferous deposits are recognized:
-lode (vein) deposits
-eluvial and alluvial placers.
The enigmatic quartz-pebble conglomerate deposits, the largest known auriferous concentrations on earth, have generally been classified as modified paleo-placers, but some geologists have considered them to be of hydrothermal origin and akin to lode deposits.
The quartz-pebble conglomerate deposits supply 50% or more of the world's annual gold production. The remaining half is provided by the other types of auriferous deposits, including the vein and disseminated types, eluvial and alluvial placers, and the various by-product sources such as polymetallic veins, lodes, massive sulfide bodies, and stockworks............
