A recent geological study suggests that ancient rock formations, now more than 1,900 metres above sea level, could contain “thousands of tonnes” of gold, originally deposited billions of years ago by ancient river systems. If confirmed, this could change how we understand the formation and location of large gold reserves.
The gold appears to come from ancient river sediments, not volcanic or magmatic activity, later concentrated and uplifted by tectonic movements. Current estimates indicate this could be one of the largest high-altitude gold deposits ever recorded.
Experts say these findings may open new possibilities for gold exploration, as traditional models focused almost exclusively on low-lying or deep underground ore bodies. If verified, mountainous regions previously thought unlikely for gold mining could become the next frontier in resource discovery.
