Just a thought, could this become the "spoils" that brings Gog to the
Mountains of Israel? I always thought, as Joel Rosenberg suggests, that if
Israel ever discovers Oil that perhaps that would be. If this find turns
out to be significant, this might get interesting, especially, if they also
discover oil as well.
 
 Gold Found in Negev
 
 
 (IsraelNN.com) Scientists announced Monday that a high concentration of
 gold had been found in the mountains north of Eilat. According to Yediot
 Acharonot, the traces of gold—four grams per ton of dirt—were found during
 explorations funded by Jewish Australian businessman Avraham Salfinger,
 the owner of KiTov resources.
 
 Salfinger told Yediot Acharonot that drilling in the area could start by
 the end of 2008. However, the area in question is located in a nature
 reserve, which is off-limits to standard drilling machinery. The
 restrictions could cause the cost of digging to rise dramatically.
