Yes, in one sense. In the old days gold was mined by sight. Today through advanced washing technologies, micro gold, or fine gold can be recovered and washed out of the dirt. In this sense, old mines are the best bet possible for future micro mining projects, and are therefore somewhat of a renewable resource.
