Dan/CC-BY-2.0. Gold is found throughout the earth and the sea. There are natural spots on the earth that contain more amounts of gold. Gold is commonly found within rock and granite in the earth. In its natural form, gold is very irregular and not refined, as it is normally seen in its finished state. Gold is found in many forms.

Surface methods, however, require that the mineralisation will be close to the surface, and the truth is that most of the ore deposits that satisfy that requirement have already been found. This is where geophysical methods come into place. Gravimetric, magnetic and seismic studies probe the earth below the surface and may provide exploration ...

Gold was first found in Nevada in the 1870s, but production was slow and the mine produced only 22,000 ounces of gold by 1964. However, the Newmont Mining Company started mining from the Carlin Gold trend in 1965 and found much more success. By 2008, the Carlin Trend gold deposit had produced more than 70 million ounces of gold, worth back then ...
