Gold refining has become more popular during the economic down turn. Since gold is one of the rarest and most valued precious metals found on earth, it has retained and steadily increased in value through out the years. Gold has most commonly been discovered in rivers and mountains, in the U.S.A., and many other countries around the world.The reasons for gold's value are that it is neither easy to find nor extract. For example, three tons of rock with gold ("ore") need to be removed and processed, smashed, ground, washed, heated, and put through other stages to get one ounce of gold. The stages of gold prospecting, gold mining, and gold recovery are technically specific and labor intensive. Gold is used for gold jewelry, tooth fillings, electronic components, circuit boards, and more.
