Introduction

Gold mining has ancient roots, starting in Egypt around 3000 BCE. Romans innovated techniques, but Middle Ages saw a slowdown in Europe. Yet, gold thrived in Africa and Asia.

History of Gold Mining

In the 15th century, Americas' exploration reignited gold interest, sparking expeditions and the infamous quest for El Dorado. Subsequent gold rushes, notably the California Gold Rush in 1848, shaped the industry's history globally.

In the 20th century, technological strides enhanced gold mining, adopting large-scale operations with heavy machinery and chemical extraction. Presently, the global gold industry thrives, with major contributions from the United States, Australia, and Russia.
