· The Witwatersrand gold fields of South Africa account for more than a third of the world's total gold production since mining started there in 1886: 48,000 t Au. These gold fields dominated production throughout the twentieth century, but production peaked at 1,000 t in 1970 and has steadily declined since that time.

Within the Witwatersrand, the formation of uranium and gold ore has been an ongoing debate, with opinions often divided on whether the ores are hydrothermally remobilized paleoplacers or fully hydrothermal in origin. …

The Mesoarchean Witwatersrand basin, in the central part of the Kaapvaal Craton in South Africa, is a 7.5 km thick sequence of metasedimentary rocks including quartzites, shales, and conglomerates. The highest concentration of gold and uraninite occur in conglomerate units, also called "reefs" (minable units).
