Hold up...is this the same state of Alabama where gold has been struck since the Western settlement made lots of people, well, lots of money? Would this company, who just acquired 15% of royalties of gold production in parcels of land in a state that is KNOWN for its gold production be talking about the SAME Alabama? That being Alabama, USA.

Am I correct in this being the same Alabama?

Gold can be found in the igneous and metamorphic rocks of Alabama's Piedmont physiographic section. The Wedowee Schist, a metamorphic rock found in northeastern Alabama that formed at the same time as the Appalachian Mountains, is known to contain gold. Recorded gold-mining districts in the state tend to follow a general southwest-northeast trend roughly lining up with the Appalachian Mountain range. The largest occurrence was found in the Hog Mountain District of Tallapoosa County in 1839. It has produced about 25,000 ounces of gold, or about half of Alabama's total gold production. Other major districts include the Eagle Creek and Goldville districts of Tallapoosa County and the Arbacoochee district of Cleburne County.

Now, I am no specialists in gold (although, being a girl, I do like it although my real preference is silver, truth be told). and I don't chew backy and have a shotgun (well I do, but that is beside the point) but looks to me like people are doing a whole lot more in Alabama than shootin' coons and standing guard. Although, as a girl, I do like it. But, seems to me that they very well may be on to something here!
