    Mount Erebus is one of a number of volcanoes which actively produces gold during its eruptive activity. However, it is the only volcano which produces solid gold particles instead of the material being disseminated or occurring in a gas/liquid form.

      A volcano does not produce gold but only displaces previously created gold.

    One of my collage professors was banned from Antarctica for stealing a snow cat from the McMurdo station, driving it to the base of Erebus and then solo climbing the mountain. This all happened while he was supposed to be working a shift at the field station. I guess it a pretty famous story among people who have work down there.

    Nice. I've lived in McMurdo for a couple of seasons back in the 80s...even have a sample of a lava bomb in which are embedded little crystals which happen to be golden, though I'm pretty sure they're not metallic gold but anothoclase feldspar, known locally as Erebus crystals...they're gold or brassy in color before being degraded by exposure and the sample I have was freshly pulled from a pumice bomb...though who knows...maybe they're coated in gold....they are pretty neat.

      Incidentaly during the planets moltan stage all elements were mixed and spread throughout its mass and core ( heavy elements, although center of earth is gravatationally weightless). Only later during cooling asteroid/comet bombardment deposited elements which formed earths crust. All the good stuff we look for and mine would not be present otherwise. Even then it's reformed/redeposited by geological processes.

    How does gold deposition on Erebus compare with that documented in the Galeras volcano in the Colombian Andes back in 1993? The annual deposition rate there was estimated at around 20kg on to rocks within the crater, with a claimed venting - at the time of analysis - of around half a kilogram of gold per day. Haven't seen a corroboration of these numbers or follow up. Could Galeras be in competition with Erebus as it were?

    Does the presence of gold in and around Ballarat, Victoria, Australia relate to the former volcanic activity in the area previously? What about around Bendigo, Victoria, Australia?

    Maybe this volcano is the reason the hole in the ozone above Antarctica has decreased in size. The gold particles being ejected out of Erebus into the atmosphere are light and will take time to fall back to earth. This could be an example of how the Earth heals itself.
    Interesting thought anyway. 🤔🧐

    So, are gold mines typically found near volcanoes and/or fault lines? Does this help explain the gold rushes in Alaska and California?

    Was glad to see the science being right. As gold can not Permanente lava. Instead it exists as a gas untill it cools. So gold can not make it into the mantle or lava. But I have got to wonder' about building deposits with so much venting gold present.
