Actually I read it in a USGS report. They had people in Afghanistan down range.
Of course they could be lying.

Nothing to do with them lying. Saying there’s gold in them thar hills is not the same as finding a commercially exploitable deposit. If USGS surveys were able to do this, then mining company IPO’s would be a sure thing instead of a crapshoot. Chinese mining companies with bottomless amounts of capital and the Taliban in charge of security have said no to committing new capital after taking a much closer look than the USGS (which certainly doesn’t spend money like mining companies do) at what’s on offer.
