Fools fooled by Fool's Gold Found in Sihanoukville
May 21, 2018
Don’t be fooled by gold report: Mines Ministry
The Ministry of Mines and Energy has denied reports that gold was found at a construction site in Sihanoukville.
The ministry said on Friday that there had been reports of the find by a Chinese firm at Che Cheang Special Economic Zone in Prey Nop district.
However, investigators had discovered that a mineral known as fools’ gold was to blame.
The ministry said reports of gold had come as a surprise to people and provincial officials in Sihanoukville.
To establish the facts, the ministry sent a technical group in conjunction with Prey Nop district authorities to investigate.
The site, at the foot of a mountain, is being prepared for use in the special economic zone.
The ministry said the mineral found was an iron sulphide with the chemical formula FeS2. This has a yellowish-white or gold colour. The mineral, called iron pyrite, also goes by the nickname fools’ gold.

Absolute Fools...
Gold, unlike pyrite does not change color when rotated with different angles of light reflecting. It is a dead give-away in the first instance.
