Book excerpt: Excerpt from Golden South Africa, or the Gold Fields Revisited: Being Further Glimpses of the Gold Fields of South Africa The following pages will bear testimony that so far from my supposing that the Gold Fields of South Africa will dis appoint the expectations formed of them by the shrewder section of an ever-growing circle of investors, and by those who are looking to them to give the world a substantial in crease of the precious metal, I am of those who behave that auriferous South Africa is but yet in the infancy Of its modern development. For the Gold Fields of South Africa are no discovery of to-day; they were worked many centuries before there was a literature to record their richness. It is generally agreed that Ophir, whence Solomon is said to have drawn gold to the modern value of was situated in south-eastern Africa, and as I am of opinion that there is as good gold in this part of the world as was ever taken out of it, some references to the past in these regions may prove useful before proceeding to consider their present and future. It does not come within the Scope of the present work to fully trace the history of gold in Africa, north or south the book but professes to throw some light on the Gold Fields which have drawn the population and attracted the capital I have mentioned. But as, in my notes of A Trip to Moodie's, in 1884, I made a slight attempt at a retrospect which musk. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: GOLD: History and Genesis of Deposits is the product of an effort by the Society of Economic Geologists to publish materials that will expand knowl edge concerning timely, specific topics important to the study of economic geology and to economic geologists. A volume on gold was selected for a general review-type publication because of the importance of the gold mining industry in the 1980s. The officers and council of the Society of Economic Geologists authorized the preparation of this book on gold in 1981, and Dr. Robert W. Boyle was selected as its author. Dr. Boyle has extensive experience in the study of gold deposits. He has an international reputation and a broad interest and understanding of the gold mining industry, the origin of gold deposits, and the history of gold as a metal and ore from prehistoric times to recent. Dr. Boyle uses important publications on gold deposits as source materials to document the various pathways of geological thought over time to introduce the reader to modern concepts. The book contains a wealth of information concerning gold.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the advent of the great mineral revolution in the latter half of the 19th century, South Africa was a sleepy colonial backwater whose unpromising landscape was seemingly devoid of any economic potential. Yet lying just beneath the dusty surface of the land lay the richest treasure trove of gold, diamonds, platinum, coal and a host of other metals and minerals that has ever been discovered in one country. It was the discovery and exploitation of first diamonds in 1870 and then gold in 1886 that proved the catalyst to the greatest mineral revolution the world has ever known, which transformed South Africa into the supreme industrialised power on the African continent. Here for the first time is the complete history of South Africa's phenomenal mineral revolution spanning a period of more than 150 years, from its earliest commercial beginnings to the present day, incorporating seven of the major commodities that have been exploited. Digging Deep describes the establishment and unparalleled growth of mining, tracing the history of the industry from its humble beginnings where copper was first mined on a commercial basis in Namaqualand in the Cape Colony in the early 1850s, to the discovery and exploitation of the country's other major mineral commodities. This is also the story of how mining gave rise to modern South Africa and how it compelled the country to develop and progress the way in which it did. It also incorporates the stories of the visionary men - Cecil Rhodes, Alfred Beit, Barney Barnato, Sir Ernest Oppenheimer, Sammy Marks and Hans Merensky - who pioneered and shaped the development of the industry on which modern South Africa was built.
