Actually not a new discovery as this was initially found by Irish company Navan Resources back in the early 1990's. Navan trenched the various veins by backhoe and although some erratic gold values even up to 100g/t were assayed there was little contiguity and the Mines Royal Licence was dropped.

Probably have some photos somewhere will try to dig out.

The concept was to look for the deeper feeder veins to the Rhynie occurrence of exhalative chert sinter.

Prof Clive Rice at Aberdeen University had a number of students working on this and some publications ensued.

Sadly disappointed to find this wasn't about precious metal geology in Essex.

doubt essex gold counts as 'precious', probably has a lower gold content than seawater!
