Well Enmons here is a a little bit on gold in the jupiter sector of the solar system, this might also be of interest to Orcort.
It appears that IO a lunar moon of jupiter just might be covered in gold amoung other things, Io has a abundance of gold equal to 1,002,825.73 cubic miles of gold which was located at a depth of 3.2 miles from the surface, it constitutes a layer of gold 396 feet thick covering the sphere of the planet at that depth. Given Io's geological activity it is quite possible that this gold has been brought to the surface, as a suspect we would exspect that molten flow of material would come from such a depth on Io,(perhaps deeper) 3.2 miles is less than the distance to the top of Mt. Everest, but deeper than the oceans on earth. Humans have only been able to dig about two miles in depth into the earth, so the gold still would have orginally been deeper than humans can dig, gold
have a low melting tempiture and mallablity may have over time been worked to the surface of Io.
If all the gold in the moon Io was on the surface it would be slightly less that 325 ft. thick covering the entire Moon.
One thing remains about Io that is not consistant with speculation about the mooons composition, that is the presence sulfur, sulfur on the moon Io was calulated to be a abundance of 108,259,346 cubic miles located at a depth of 276 miles, in other words actually very deep in the Moon interior.
There remains a lot to look at in the structure of the galliean moons but the most dominate atomic element in the surface region was gold increasing the possiblity that what we are looking at on the surface of Io is gold.
Atomic Element that could exist as a crust for the entire moon Io are as follows
Indium 11,344,523 cubic miles
Molybdeium 11,856,418 cubic miles
Bromine 26,944,047 cubic miles
Selenium 31,497,320 cubic miles
The Mantel is surfaced with zinc, being a layer 15.9 miles thick, it also appears that bromine and selenium are the most likly suspects for the appearance of sulfur, exspecial the selenium, selenium is located at the 23.7 miles depth mark and bromine at the 21 mile depth mark, the bromine appears to be uplifted by krypton, where the Krypton layer is just above the bromine depth mark, the krypton layer is 953 feet thick.
However the Xeon depth mark is the same from all the galliean moons and has a layer of simular thickness as that of krypton, xeon layer thicknes is 942.48 ft. located 6 miles from the surface.
other fluid dynamics existed such as that of the atomic element Mercury which was 802,365 cubic miles of the Moon Io's Composition it has a depth mark near that of gold in this case being just abotu 3.1 miles from the surface, and so there exist a means of fluid dynamics by which gold could have been brought to the surface. mercurys layer thickness was 316.8 feet thick.
And there you have for the Gold sighting....
In other news in the solar system it appears that the black grey surface of Ganymede just might be that effects of Iodine.
