Wikipedia includes these lines it its write-up on the Clogau gold mine:
"A 2012 report conducted by Snowdon Mining Consultants on behalf of the previous majority owners of the mine, Gold Mining Wales Ltd (GMW), suggested that as much as 500,000 ounces of gold could be lying untouched in the area surrounding the mine,[4] giving hope that gold may again be extracted from the Clogau Gold Mine ..."
500k ounces at today's spot price gives us a figure well in excess of $1bn before any premium for Welsh gold is added in.
