Since the 1880s, South Africa has been the source for a large proportion of the world's gold supply, with about 50% of all gold ever produced having come from South Africa. Production in 1970 accounted for 79% of the world supply, producing about 1,480 tonnes. 2008 production was 2,260 tonnes. In 2007 China (with 276 tonnes) overtook South Africa as the world's largest gold producer, the first time since 1905 that South Africa has not been the largest.

In the distant past, gold could be "mined" by panning streams with screened pans that separated the water & dirt from small nuggets of gold. That of course has long been improved by deep level mining. In South Africa as example, deep level mining into gold prospective areas are used to find and bring gold to the surface. Some of the deepest mines and much of the world's gold mining activity is done in South Africa.
