I am looking for information about places where you can find gold and other
precious minirals in Europe (especially Portugal) ?
Thank you very much for your help.

I'm fairly sure I've seen gold specimens from Hungary and possibly Kosovo
(Trepca). It's also found in quantity in Russia, in particular the east
slopes of the Urals which probably technically puts it in Asia.

There is a Swiss group with a beautiful map of gold locations in
Switzerland - other than the vaults controlled by the infamous gnomes - that
you can find on the web. I had the URL before my last crash and re-load,
and re-load... sigh...

There is a gold mine "on ice" in Scotland at Tyndrum near Crianlarich there
is also gold in the Leadhills area , in the Glens of Strathmore,
Glendevon, at Kildonan in Sutherland and at some other Scottish locations
but the environmental lobby won't let you or anybody else work them.

Don't forget Wales - the gold from here is used to make wedding rings
for the British royals.

There are goldmines in France too.

One of them is the Bourneix mine which is of no interest to collectors,
since the gold is in solution in other minerals, there. The Salsigne
mine is also known for having had the biggest production of gold in
France in recent times (although it is more known among collectors for
its phosphates).

I did a little search using "Bourneix" and "or" and I found this page
among others...

http://www.cr-limousin.fr/gb/business/mines.htm

As for finding gold there... But I know that you can pan for gold in
many rivers in France. The Herault river, the Gardon river (north of
Anduze, Gard), even the Rhone produce gold. Gold is also found in small
quantities in several streams in Brittany.

Hope this helps.

David

Good morning Bib

Gold and silver are found throughout Europe.

Since you are interested in Portugal here is an interesting link.

There is, or was a gold mine in Wales called the Clogau (think that is
how you spell it) and I have panned for gold in Scotland

A couple of years ago a group from the Czech Geological Society came
up to the mine on their way to the Klondyke, and related some details
of the Bohemian gold mines. They gave me a pin made of the gold and
garnets from there, in the shape of crossed pick and hammer. They also
gave me some reports on the geology of the area and the mines. Maybe
you could find them?

The company I work for has just built a gold mine in Baia Mare, Romania, I
have investigated a possible mine at Berehove in western Ukraine (near the
border with Hungary), and we are studying a possible development in Greece.
I also know of operations in Sardinia.
