Its Kedah/Perlis/Penang director Zainol Husin said inspection of the stones and rocks at the site in Kampung Jelutong, Pendang found the yellowish specks in them to be the minerals pyrite and arsenopyrite.
He said in a statement yesterday that it's not gold and commonly known as fool's gold'. This mineral is usually found in shale in the state.
The confirmation from the department has dashed the hopes of many residents wanting to strike rich as they have been chiselling away at chunks of rocks at the quarry area the past few days.
People began converging there after a worker at the quarry found gold-like specks in the rocks on Wednesday. Some residents started chiselling away at the rocks and collecting the stones as they were convinced the glistening metallic specks were gold.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak was reported to have said that if the yellow specks were indeed gold, the state goverment would have a new source of revenue.
He said he had asked the state Land and Mines as well as the Minerals and Geoscience departments to check on this.
