Gold forms in the underground vents of volcanoes. The super hot gases rising from deep beneath the Earth flow through natural 'pipes' carrying elements within them. These mineral elements condense on the walls usually n conjunction with quartz(silicon dioxide) and remain there until either the volcanoes are eroded over millions of years or miners go deep underground to find them. South Africa is famous for it's deep goldmines and the Yukon is famous for streams bearing gold dust carried in the sediments originally from eroded volcanoes.

Gold comes from a supernova that exploded billions of yeas ago. The intense heat that the supernova created bonds elements together to for gold, silver, iron
