A native element and precious metal, Gold has
long been prized for its beauty, resistance to chemical attack and workability.
As it is found as a native
element, has a relatively low melting point (1063 degrees Celsius) and is
malleable, it has been used by mankind for thousands of years.
Gold is used as a standard for international currency and is also widely used in
jewelry, electronics (where its superb properties as a conductor help offset its
tremendous cost), dentistry and in photographic processes.
Gold occurs in significant amounts in three main types of deposits: veins of
hydrothermal and related origin; in consolidated placer deposits, and in
unconsolidated placer deposits. It may also occur in granitic pegmatites, in
contact metamorphic deposits, and in hypo-thermal deposits. It is commonly found
as disseminated grains in Quartz
veins with Pyrite
and other sulphides, or as rounded grains, flakes or nuggets in placer deposits
and in streams and rivers. Gold is often panned from such deposits by taking
advantage of its high density to wash away the lighter sediments from a pan or
sluice.
