Instead, the gold remained concentrated in payable reefs which have been mined with spectacular success. Since gold was discovered in 1886, we have exhumed 50 000 tonnes of the stuff, more than 30% of the total amount ever mined, and South Africa still holds around 50% of the world's known gold reserves.
