How is gold mined today?

Gold is mined today using various methods, such as open-pit mining, underground mining, and placer mining. Open-pit mining involves extracting gold from the earth’s surface by removing the overlying rock and soil. Underground mining involves extracting gold from deep underground using tunnels and shafts. Placer mining involves extracting gold from alluvial deposits, such as rivers and streams, by washing away the sediment and separating the gold particles.
