Placer gold deposits are nature’s result of gravity and flowing water working together over time.

As rivers erode rock upstream, gold travels with sediments until current velocity drops.

Through hydraulic sorting, lighter materials move on while dense gold settles into coarse gravel, lodges above compact clay layers, and concentrates along bedrock traps.

This layered structure reveals a predictable pattern where geology, physics, and time combine to create gold-rich zones.
