Gold is a rare element that is widely distributed but in small amounts. Most gold occurs as the native metal. The chief sources of gold are hypothermal (high temperature), mesothermal (moderate temperature) and epithermal (low temperature) hydrothermal gold-quartz veins, together with pyrite and other sulphides. When gold-bearing veins are weathered, the gold liberated either remains in place in the soil mantle, or is washed into neighbouring streams to form placer deposits. Gold is usually primary, but it can also occur as a secondary mineral derived from gold tellurides.
Gold tends to form alloys such as electrum with silver and copper, but there are rare examples of native gold and native silver occurring together (R&M 96.3.202-203).

At the Tintic Mining District, Juab County, Utah, USA, gold is not a common mineral, but some fine specimens do exist. The richest amounts of native gold have been found associated with tellurium mineralisation such as at the Trixie mine where a highgrade vein was discovered, containing visible native gold, teineite, xocomecatlite, goldfieldite and hessite. Native gold specimens have also been collected from the Centennial Eureka, Mammoth, Gold Chain, Tintic Standard, North Star and Eureka Standard mines, usually occurring on a quartz matrix. Specimens of quartz containing malachite with flakes of native gold have been found on the dumps of the Centennial Eureka mine. Arsenic minerals, including olivenite, pharmacosiderite and tyrolite, have also been found associated with native gold at the Mammoth and Gold Chain mines. A rather interesting pseudomorph of gold replacing a nicely crystallized enargite crystal about 0.8 mm tall has been found at the Gold Chain mine. (MinRec 55.2.202-203, R&M 96.3.200-236).
