Over 40% of the world's already mined gold has come from Basin, South Africa. In 1970 the Basin Mine was actually responsible for nearly 80% of the world's gold production. Almost 50 years later. The Basin Mine still serves as a prevalent location for gold mining. Today, the world's most prolific gold mines are Witwatersrand Basin South Africa, Carlin Trend in the United States, Popua, Indonesia, Super Pit, Western Australia, and Yanacocha, Peru.
