What Became of the Crow?

Every great gold discovery has a unique element that made it a reality.

At Grasberg, miners solved "unbeatable terrain challenges", accessing a vertical mountain peak to mine one of the world's largest copper - gold deposits.

For the Klondike Gold Rush, a prospector shook gold nuggets out of a streamside bush while building a fire to cook his food.

At Mongolia's Oyu Tolgoi, a legendary minefinder spent his last dollar drilling one last hole.

In South Africa's Witwatersrand, a simple prospector's find belied the fact that, instead of a short life, a gigantic mineralized deposit would be tapped, giving up 40% of all the gold ever mined.

But that was then...

What if now, in a bone-dry portion of Australia, a mammoth gold deposit defying superlatives is on the cusp of being born? The elements? A rogue-thinking geologist, a cantankerous newsletter analyst and a financial heavyweight addicted to long-shot asymmetric bets looked at "the evidence" in a way no one else had done before. And proposed a new theory that - not unlike the Wits - a massive multiple layered, wildly-profitable goldfield lay before them that could be mined.

For decades.
