finding gold mines

On serveral occassions i have send my geogist out to find gold mines but he dont find any nor do i get the message saying he couldnt find any.I have cleared all my isle of bandits. I have emailed support twice and this is the last reply .............. As we handle support tickets only here we can not implement changes to the game or it's principles but what we can do is send it to the right people, and this has been done.
any1 else having is problem i would love a gold mine:mad:
