· Gold is gold, so there isn't necessarily a better type of gold, however, mining for lode gold has many more challenges than mining for placer gold. The formation of gold generally starts as a vein in rock. This is referred to as "lode gold" and is formed when molten rock in the earth's crust heats groundwater under great pressure.
Placer gold was discovered in Nicoamen River which is a tributary to the Thompson River. The Nicoamen enters the Thompson about 12 kilometers up stream from the confluence with the Fraser River at Lytton. A local Indian discovered gold there by chance and soon the majority of the tribe was mining the area.
Examples of placer and lode mining that directly affected freshwater ecosystems come from iron mining in many portions of the eastern United States during the 18th and 19th centuries (Swank, 1892; Hart et al., 2008); 19th-century placer and lode mining of gold in the Southern Appalachians (Pardee and Park, 1948); and 19th-century placer gold ...
· The geological and structural features and gold potential of the Yasny lode-placer cluster in Amur province have been investigated. The lode-placer cluster is an intrusive domal uplift elongated in the nearmeridional direction and surrounded by Neogene loose sediments. The cluster comprises placers that yielded 15 t gold mined from there and small occurrences of …
· Orogenic gold camps are commonly associated with placer deposits although in many cases the relationship between placer and lode source may be unclear. Placer gold deposits in Bonanza and Eldorado Creeks in the northern Klondike district goldfield, Yukon, Canada, probably yielded more than 2 million ounces (Moz) from a small geographic area, but …
· Lode sources and Type 1 - Type 2 placer gold. Placer gold from below the Bighorn Mine (Type 1) and Allison Mine (Type 2) each have unique morphology and geochemistry. These mines, which are also the largest producers of the district, are the presumed sources of the placer gold in the drainages. Below the confluence of the East Fork of the San ...
Man most likely first obtained gold from placer deposits, more than 6,000 years ago. Placers account for more than two-thirds of the total world gold supply, and roughly half of that mined in the States of California, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho.Placer deposits result from weathering and release of gold from lode deposits, transportation of the gold, and concentration of the gold …

· Type 3 gold (10–40% Ag ± Hg ≤ 4%) is prevalent in the south of the region. Analysis of large sample sets has allowed us to delineate the geographic extent of each gold type and their relative importance within the placer populations. Type 1 gold is the major component of placer deposits in Bonanza, Hunker, Dominion, and upper Sulphur Creeks.
· One Montana lode-mining company in 1924, 1925, and 1926 produced an average of about 50,000 carats of sapphires suitable for cutting into gems less than 1 carat in weight. ... – Although all placer gold is alloyed with silver, no record has been found of the occurrence of native silver, as a separate metal, in placer deposits in the United ...
