Chefna is a river of Belgium. It springs in
province of Liège, before emptying into the Amblève
.
Around 1802, several farmers started looking for gold in the river and on the right bank the pits of a primitive goldmine can be found, although they have been mostly overgrown. The river had a low yield of about 0.40 grams (0.014 oz) of gold per ton of rock, although locals still talk about the man who "almost became a
millionnaire" at the end of the 19th century.[1]
