2.7 Billion-Year-Old Mountain Produced 40% of the World’s Gold

A massive ancient geological formation in South Africa that helped supply nearly half of the world’s mined gold may still hold hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of the precious metal underground.

Key Facts

The Witwatersrand Basin has produced about 40% of all gold ever mined globally.

Formed roughly 2.7 billion years ago, the basin remains one of the richest gold deposits on Earth.

Geologists estimate around $500 billion worth of gold could still remain underground.

Expert Insight

Despite more than a century of mining, the Witwatersrand Basin continues to demonstrate how massive geological systems can shape global gold supply for generations.
