Geologists Discovered The Largest Single Gold Deposit in The World

Buried deep beneath the sun-bleached sands of the Kyzylkum Desert in Uzbekistan lies Muruntau, the largest single gold deposit ever discovered on Earth. Discovered by geologists in the 1950s, this massive geological anomaly breaks all the rules of conventional mining, holding staggering amounts of "white gold" that was pushed to the surface by ancient tectonic collisions. Today, it is the world's largest open-pit gold mine—a colossal excavation over 3.5 kilometers wide and 600 meters deep that is literally visible from space. Operating around the clock, hundreds of massive trucks and conveyor systems tirelessly haul out millions of ounces of gold every single year, fueling the global economy. Click the video to explore the mind-bending geology behind this absolute behemoth of a mine and discover how this barren desert became the most valuable patch of dirt on the planet.
