Our Services
We Work to Craft
Gold doesn't usually sit in large nuggets; it's often microscopic and locked in rock. This phase is about finding a "deposit" that is actually worth the billions of dollars it costs to dig up.
This is the "heavy lifting" phase. Depending on where the gold is located, miners use different physical approaches.
Once the ore is out of the ground, it's just a pile of rocks. You have to separate the gold from the "waste" rock (tailings).
In the modern era, mining doesn't end when the gold runs out. This final stage is legally required in most countries to ensure the land is safe for future use.
