The lifecycle of a gold mine People in hard hats working underground is what often comes to mind when thinking about how gold is mined Yet mining the ore is just one stage in a long and complex gold mining process Long before any gold can be extracted significant exploration and development needs to take place both to determine as accurately as possible the size of the deposit as well
Copper mining was revived along Lake Superior about 1842 and made a sudden jump The California gold fever of 1849 was the beginning of the search and procurement of that metal on a considerable scale Petroleum came prominently into notice for the first time in August 1859 when the Drake Well struck oil and the Comstock Lode was discovered in Nevada that same year and laid the foundation
