Why is quartz found around gold deposit areas?

Quartz being a crystalline structure grows of it's own accord, but gold being an element was always there to begin with, so why is quartz populous around gold?

The gold wasn't always there.  The ultra hot water bringing the dissolved quartz up from the depths also contains minute amounts of dissolved gold, silver, pyrite, etc. It's when it rises and cools that the minerals drop out. The gold, as a metal, has an actual crystalline structure, just with one element.
