Introduction to Gold
Introduction
Discovered about 5000 years ago, gold is a precious metal that is admired and valued as much for its usefulness as
its beauty. Although very heavy, gold is very soft and can easily be shaped either by flattening it into sheets
(malleability), or by stretching it into wires (ductility). Gold does not tarnish (react with air) and is an efficient
conductor of heat and electricity. These properties make gold prized beyond just its decorative quality. Gold has
served as a type of money in the form of coins. More recently, gold has been used for electronic circuit boards and
electrical connections.
Gold deposits
Although widely dispersed in the Earth's crust, gold is rarely found in deposits large enough to make mining it
worthwhile. Gold is also found in minute (very tiny) proportions in seawater, but the cost of extracting these small
amounts would be much more than the gold would be worth. Gold deposits on land are found in two forms - primary
and secondary deposits.
