Mining drill core sample with gold content
Gold ore. A mining drill sample with a high concentration of gold ore. This soft, heavy, acid- resistant metal is usually found in quartz veins, as a natural alloy with silver, and in concentrations of sedimentary origin. The main gold- bearing districts are Witwatersrand (South Africa), the Mother Lode (California, USA), the Yukon (Alaska, USA), Porcupine (Northwest Territory, Canada) and the USSR. It is used as a monetary standard, in jewellery, in dentistry and for scientific and electronic instruments

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mining drill core sample, brimming with the precious metal known as gold. With its high concentration of gold ore, this sample is a testament to the remarkable geological formations that harbor this soft yet heavy metal. Gold is renowned for its resistance to acid and can often be found in quartz veins or naturally alloyed with silver. The origins of gold deposits are diverse, ranging from sedimentary concentrations to specific regions around the world. Notable gold-bearing districts include Witwatersrand in South Africa, the Mother Lode in California (USA), Yukon in Alaska (USA), Porcupine in Northwest Territory (Canada), and even parts of the former USSR. Beyond its allure as a monetary standard throughout history, gold finds extensive use across various industries. From adorning exquisite jewelry pieces to serving vital roles in dentistry and scientific instruments, this versatile element continues to captivate human imagination. As we delve into the intricacies of our planet's resources through mining drills like those depicted here, we gain valuable insights into Earth's wealth hidden beneath our feet. This stunning image from Science Photo Library reminds us of both nature's bounty and humanity's ceaseless pursuit of knowledge about our planet's treasures.
