I knew that. Bacteria eating up then shitting out gold can be a very major transporting mechanism to the formation of gold deposits- or maybe that's what's causing the nugget effect. The gold complexates with chlorine then precipitates out of solution, but is very dissipated in the host rock. Then the little critters come along and much then take a big dump in their camps, and form economic nodules and lumps of gold.
