Located in and around the City of Timmins, the Porcupine district has produced more than 68 million ounces since 1910. Currently, about 60 percent of the gold comes from the Hoyle Pond underground mine, where mechanized cut and fill and long hole mining methods are used to extract the ore, and the remaining ore comes from the Hollinger Open Pit mine.
The use of cyanide heap leaching or tank leaching enabled open-pit mining of low-grade oxidized gold deposits starting in the 1960s. This revolutionized gold mining which, …
A new type of gold occurrence recently discovered in the Carlin trend, north-central Nevada, is clearly distinct from classic Carlin-type gold ore. These occurrences are interpreted to be of sedimentary exhalative (sedex) origin because they are stratiform and predate compaction and lithification of their unaltered Devonian host rocks.

Regional Divisions Of North America. Region-wise North America can be classified into the following parts which are listed below: Western Region; Great Plains; Canadian Shield; Eastern Region; Western Region. Young mountains rise in the west. The most familiar of these mountains are probably the Rockies, North America's largest chain.
Gold- and iron sulfide-bearing deposits of the southeastern United States have distinctive mineralogical and geochemical features that provide a basis for constructing models of ore genesis for exploration and assessment of gold resources. The largest (historic) deposits, in approximate million ounces of gold (Moz Au), include those in the Haile (~ 4.2 Moz Au), …
In September 2023, scientists funded by a mining company reported finding what could be the largest deposit of lithium in an ancient US supervolcano. Now public researchers on the other side of the country have uncovered another untapped reservoir – one that could cover nearly half the nation's lithium demands.
