The Witwatersrand rocks and the gold contained in them have always entertained much debate as to their origin. Pretorius (1975) has noted one of the accounts of the beginnings of the Witwatersrand goldfields that clarify this debate, i.e. "that the main reef group of gold bearing conglomerates was stumbled across

Gold panning is mostly a manual technique of separating gold from other materials. Wide, shallow pans are filled with sand and gravel that may contain gold. The pan is submerged in water and shaken, sorting the gold from the gravel and other material. As gold is much denser than rock, it quickly settles to the bottom of the pan.

This process is repeated to concentrate the gold bearing ore and separate it from the waste rock (increasing the grade of the ore). The flotation units catch 70% of the gold collected at Macraes, with the primary roughers collecting the other 30%. The slurry that doesn't contain any gold is neutralised and sent to the tailings dam.

The gold reefs are typically located along unconformities or, less commonly, at the top of sedimentary beds. Large quartz peb- bles and heavy-mineral concentrates are found associated with the gold. Deposits that formed prior to the Great Oxidation Event (circa 2.4 giga-annum [Ga]) contain pyrite, whereas younger deposits contain iron oxides.
