I read the thread on the significance of faults. It brought to mind another geology question. I have been doing some reading on the Pikes Peak Batholith and found that the formations of Plutons in this area seem to have a correlation with mineral formation. Can someone expand on this for me please?

"This cavity, roughly 25 feet by 12 feet by 40 feet high, was found in 1914, and was lined with gold tellurides, quartz, celestite and clay. Nearly 20,000 ounces of gold had been mined from this vug."
