Earth's biggest gold deposit formed by ancient microbes?

Gold was discovered in South Africa's Witwatersrand Basin in 1886, and since then, around half of all gold mined throughout the world has originated from that source. Geologists know that the gold reached the Earth's surface by coming up with lava that formed the Kaapvaal Craton mountain range. However, the Kaapvaal Craton is located in the Limpopo Province in north-east South Africa. How did the gold move several hundred kilometres from there to get to the Witwatersrand basin in Gauteng?

Three billion years ago, the atmosphere contained almost no oxygen and the air consisted primarily of gases containing sulphur. Gases like hydrogen sulphide were pumped out of volcaneos, rising to form clouds that then fell as acid rain on the mountains. In a new study published in Nature Geoscience entitled, "Witwatersrand gold deposits formed by volcanic rain, anoxic rivers and Archaean life", Christoph Heinrich, a professor of Economic Geology, argues that the gold didn't just get moved by the rivers – it was first dissolved chemically in volcanic rain. Heinrich's theory is that the gold would have formed soluble complexes with the sulphur, which were then absorbed by water, before finally being separated by primitive microbes to form the gold.

The new theory may explain why there's a string of gold beds in the Witwatersrand basin that collectively make up 40 percent of all of the gold that has ever been, or ever will be, dug out of the ground.

Gold is a rare element in the universe that forms only in the hearts of supernovae. The precious metal has been part of Earth since its birth 4.6 billion years ago, and while most of the Earth's gold is locked deep within the planet's core, the rest is largely dispersed throughout rocks at incredibly tiny concentrations of about one part gold per billion. Occasionally, a physical phenomenon causes the gold to become enriched in certain layers of rock. In the case of the Witwatersrand formation, up to 1 percent of the carbon-rich layers is made up of gold.

Mponeng - World's deepest Gold Mine

Mponeng is a gold mine in South Africa's North West Province, about 65 km southwest of Johannesburg, owned by AngloGold Ashanti. Mponeng means 'look at me' in the local Sotho language. Formerly the Western Deep Levels South Shaft, or Shaft No 1, Mponeng is the most recently sunk of the three former Western Deep Levels mines. The global record was broken in 2009 after digging 3,777m. With the current sink, the mine would go down to 4,100m. Plans could take the Mponeng Mine to 4,500m below the surface.

The mine was originally built by the Anglo American Corporation with its 2 km (1.2 mi) deep main shaft being sunk in 1957.

The Mponeng Mine is also one of the world's richest with grades at over 8g/t. Production is primarily sourced from the Ventersdorp Contact Reef, a seam of ore that averages only 30 inches wide. Work is progressing to extract the ore from the Carbon Leader Reef below it.

In an effect known as the geothermal gradient, the temperature of the earth increases with depth. Rock temperature reaches 140 degrees Fahrenheit and humidity 95 percent. 6,000 tons of ice a day keeps Mponeng's deepest levels at 83 degrees. Ice is made in a surface plant, then mixed with salt to create a slush that is pumped to underground reservoirs. There, giant fans pass air over the coolant and push the chilled air further down into the mining tunnels.

Every day the 4000 miners at the Mponeng Mine detonate 5,000 pounds of explosives. Every day they take away 6,400 tons of rock. The laws of compressive force dictate that the rock will try to close the spaces left by mining.

Six hundred times a month a "seismic event" will shudder through the Mponeng mine. Sometimes the quakes cause rockbursts, when rock explodes into a mining cavity and mows men down with a deadly spray of jagged rock. Sometimes a tremor causes a "fall of ground"—the term for a collapse. Some of the rockbursts had been so powerful that other countries, detecting the seismic signature, had suspected South Africa of testing a nuclear bomb.
