Seifenabbau
Explanation:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seife_(Geologie)

Seifen sind in der Geologie Schwermineralanreicherungen, die sich durch Sortiereffekte bei der Ablagerung aus fließendem Wasser gebildet haben.

Wenn Gold oder Diamanten an Flüssen "gewaschen" werden, handelt es sich immer um Seifenlagerstätten.
