California still holds ten billion dollars in known gold deposits
The Mining Congress Journal argues California has more than ten billion dollars in known gold deposits left to mine or wash from the ground, a figure more than twice the current U S treasury value. Arthur Gibson, a mining engineer, notes this refers to deposits already identified rather than speculative finds. Since 1849 to 1925 California produced about 1.79 billion, less than 20 percent of Gibson’s claimed recoverable total remaining.
