Gold Nuggets from ironblocks incredibly rare or bug?

[-Holo-]

So. I have maxed out the perks regarding finding rare minerals and gems from mining, but so far I havent gotten a single gold nugget from chopping up ironblocks at the stone crafting station.
roughly every 1 of three blocks gives silver, but I have been trying to find gold for quite a while now and have chopped up well over 100 iron blocks so far (with the perks, even more without) :/ is this intended or is it bugged?

Just tested, on PC v1.122; mining 20 iron blocks from the source yielded 6 silver, 4 gold. Breaking those 20 blocks down at the stone cutter yielded 10 silver, 0 gold. If memory serves, getting gold nuggets from the stone cutter operation is possible, but maybe they changed it or it's just incredibly unlikely ...and i think I got kinda lucky in regards to gold out of the source, but it is much more more likely than the cutter in my experience.

Gold source #2: There are a limited number (~5?) of gold outcroppings throughout the Dungeon (the first being ~lvl6) which yield 8 nuggets each.

Gold source #3: With a talent for fishing, one could farm Gold Crucians; @ River, Excellent Rod, fish-bait, during the day. With 16% chance, ~30 fish-bait should yield ~5 crucians, which can be broken down for a single nugget each.

Thanks for that headsup, just went there and mined 20 blocks too, and got 2 bits of gold and 2 bits or silver. It never even occured to me that there would be any different outcome from that or the regular mine -.-
