How does gold become mixed in with the riverbed sediments?

Gold can be eroded from mineral deposits by flowing water and transported downstream, where it settles in the riverbed sediments due to its high density. Over time, sedimentation processes bury the gold particles in layers of sediment along with other minerals and rocks.


What environment is gold found in?

Gold is commonly found in hydrothermal veins, as well as in alluvial deposits formed by the erosion and concentration of gold-bearing rocks. It can also be found in sedimentary rocks, such as conglomerates or sandstone, as small grains or nuggets.


How panning for gold takes advantage of one of gold's characteristic properties?

Panning for gold relies on gold's high density, which makes it heavier than other sediments in a river. When gold flecks are mixed with sand and gravel in a stream, panning can separate the heavier gold particles from the lighter sediments by swirling the mixture in a pan. The gold settles at the bottom of the pan due to its high density, allowing prospectors to extract it.

What was a pan used for on the goldfields?

Panning was a method for separating gold from gold-bearing soil. It involved the use of a solid pan. An amount of potentially gold-bearing dirt was placed in the pan with some water, and gently swished and shaken around, a process which would bring the smaller particles of gold to the surface.
