"It has been a huge question-where did the gold come from?
黄金从何而来?这是个重大问题 。
We have learned a great deal about where the early copper sources are, but the nature of gold-especially if it's coming from rivers and streams, and because the early workings can literally be washed away in one flood, for example-it means that it's very, very hard to identify the sites.
我们对早期的铜矿来源巳有 不少了解,但黄金的产地却很难追寻,尤其是黄金多为出自河流的沙金,早期的开采痕迹极易被洪水冲洗干净 。
