Ironically, i found two gold veins while doing this quest.
correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the stuff our lvl85 armor is made out of.
in which case we are giving them something more valuable then gold.

Description
We definitely DO NOT have the kind of gold that the Horde is offering. {name}, we have to do something or we're not going to be able to get those drilling rights! Wait a minute! There was this report from an underwater survey that we did right after the Cataclysm struck. Something about some gold-looking ore that was pushed up from underground. That's it! Head west to the old stomping grounds of the centaur, Splithoof Crag and Splithoof Hold, and dig some up.
