Then Japan should be a a major gold producer, but is not.

that ground needs to be near the surface
and geological surveys are unreliable
good luck prospectors! I either just saved you 5 minutes of your time or 5 decades of your life.

Yep you need a neutron star or black hole collision I think to make the initial gold from more basic “elements” :-)
Seems like a lot of work. What if I just make boron instead? Everyone likes boron.

The veins are made in the process, thought the gold itself was already present in the water which was vaporized due to the pressure of earthquake

Lots of reasons to not be a producer of metals. If you find any material in California good luck - its more than a 25 year process to open a new mine, including payoffs to various politicians and an endless environmental review process.
For massive lode and pit operations for major corporations, sure. I own four agate mines and one manganese minein the Mojave. It costs not much at all if you're a small miner.
Interesting. Is there a rough rule of thumb that translates magnitude into slip size and length?

I know the Mojave and know I love agates so I'm going out on a limb and saying I'm the man for the job.
