This is a link to all the knowledge on quartz vein gold mining. It goes in to detail as far as minerals, where the best spots are, and all the science material in between.  Just as a heads up don't start reading unless you have some time to digest all the information, as it does get pretty in depth.

You may want to read that article with a grain of salt, and use it when you go out west. While useful, most of our gold are of the porphyry variety, mostly high sulfidation and more likely to be associated with copper rather than silver.
