Gold mining in South Africa began in 1886 with the Witerwatersrand Gold Rush Thanks to the discovery of gold urbanisation and industrialisation drove the development of Johannesburg known as the City of Gold as well as its surrounding areas
Openpit gold mining also takes place in South Africa This is a mining technique which excavates at the surface to extract ore The mine is open to the surface for the duration of its life
The largest deposit of gold can be found in South Africa in the Precambrian Witwatersrand Conglomerate This deposit of gold ore is hundreds of miles across and more than two miles deep It is estimated that twothirds of the gold mined comes from South Africa
The entire process of gold mining can be broken down roughly into four steps prospecting mining extracting and refining Early discoveries of gold relied on the blind luck of someone spotting a yellow glint in a stream or in a crack between rocks But the search today is more systematic and precise First geologists know more about how gold forms
Yet mining the ore is just one stage in a long and complex gold mining process Long before any gold can be extracted significant exploration and development needs to take place both to determine as accurately as possible the size of the deposit as well as how to extract and process the ore efficiently safely and responsibly
During these ancient times gold was mined from alluvial placersthat is particles of elemental gold found in river sands The gold was concentrated by washing away the lighter river sands with water leaving behind the dense gold particles which could then be further concentrated by melting
Removing the goldbearing rock from the ground is just the first step To isolate pure gold mining companies use a complex extraction process The first step in this process is breaking down large chunks of rock into smaller pieces At a mill large machines known as crushers reduce the ore to pieces no larger than road gravel

In the 20 th century the large gold mines on the West Wits line were established and towns like Carletonville and Klerksdorp became important and busy centres around the worldfamous gold mines Kloof Driefontein and Western Deep Levels For many years South Africa was the world’s primary gold
Other gold mines use underground mining where the ore is extracted through tunnels or shafts South Africa has the worlds deepest hard rock gold mine up to 3900 metres 12800 ft underground At such depths the heat is unbearable for humans and air conditioning is required for the safety of the workers The first such mine to receive air
The list of Gold mines in South Africa is quite long with some smaller mines available all over Furthermore some companies own and manage more than one Gold mine in the country The reason why Gold mining is important in South Africa is that the Gold mining industry is a big pillar of the South African economy

The lifecycle of a gold mine People in hard hats working underground is what often comes to mind when thinking about how gold is mined Yet mining the ore is just one stage in a long and complex gold mining process Long before any gold can be extracted significant exploration and development needs to take place both to determine as accurately as possible the size of the deposit as well
Gold processing preparation of the ore for use in various products For thousands of years the word gold has connoted something of beauty or value These images are derived from two properties of gold its colour and its chemical colour of gold is due to the electronic structure of the gold atom which absorbs electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths less than 5600 angstroms
Gold recognizable by its yellowish cast is one of the oldest metals used by humans As far back as the Neolithic period humans have collected gold from stream beds and the actual mining of gold can be traced as far back as 3500 BC when early Egyptians the Sumerian culture of Mesopotamia used mined gold to craft elaborate jewelry religious artifacts and utensils such as goblets
In some of the worlds deepest gold mining projects companies are digging as far as 25 miles into the earth for gold ore This venture was extremely expensive up to 700 million at early estimates to deepen and expand company mines in places such as South Africa As Mining Weekly describes Mining deeper and deeper does not come cheaply
