'Prospectors believe there is £300million of gold hidden underground in Scotland.
Tests suggest the precious metal could be buried in a 10-mile belt near a site previously drilled for gold in
Wester Ross in the north-west Highlands. Experts think the discovery of a record single 22-carat nugget in
a river last May could point to massive amounts of gold nearby.
Traces of gold, copper and zinc were found there before it was abandoned
when precious metal prices crashed in the 1980s.
London-based GreenOre revealed rock samples around the so-called Kerry Road deposit showed there
could be a “far bigger” seam deeper underground. They said it could be of “economic interest” and have
launched a £600,000 crowdfunder – which expires tomorrow – to start drilling at the site.
Traces of gold, copper and zinc were found there before it was abandoned when precious metal prices
crashed in the 1980s. It is part of the Gairloch Schist Belt, which runs 10 miles north to south.
GreenOre managing director Gavin Berkenheger said: “This deposit is now of economic interest and the
surrounding area ripe for further discoveries.” He said research showed gold-rich boulders could be buried
under 40 metres of sandstone at the site.
The geologist added that “the gold system is far bigger than just the Kerry Road Deposit”.
