When people think of gold mining, they likely picture bearded men with gold pans in mountain streams or Discovery Channel's Gold Rush.

In reality, it's neither!

In this video, we tour the entire gold mining process at Round Mountain Mine, owned and operated by Canadian gold giant Kinross.

We start where most mining operations begin—drilling, blasting, and loading with enormous shovels.
But with most gold here being microscopic, how do they extract every ounce from the rock they mine? That's where the milling and processing comes into play, and followed along every step of the way.

At the end of it all is the gold pour—where they carefully pour the gold, silver, and other metals extracted into bars for transport into the world.
