  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;Traces of gold and molybdenum are widely disseminated in an area approximately 35 km long and 10 km wide in northwestern Moore County, N.C. &amp;nbsp;At least 2540 oz. of gold were recovered from 16 or more mines and prospects between 1880 and 1910. &amp;nbsp;One hundred and ninety rock samples out of 244 collected from old gold mines, pyrophyllite deposits and along roads contain gold quantities ranging from 0.02 to 2.4 parts per million. &amp;nbsp;In addition, 43 samples out of the 244 taken contain molybdenum in amounts ranging from 4 to 500 parts per million.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
