Coring Theory

Coring Theory explains how gold deposits form deep underground. It suggests that gold originates in high-temperature, mineral-rich zones called "ores," where it dissolves into fluids. These mineral-laden fluids then move upward through rock fractures. When conditions change—such as temperature or pressure—they cause the gold to precipitate out of the fluid and accumulate in concentrated deposits, often forming veins or nuggets. Essentially, Coring Theory describes the processes by which gold is transported and then deposited in specific underground locations, making it accessible for mining.
