In the USA, it is in Fort Knox, Kentucky. In other countries that keep a gold reserve, it is in a similar guarded, high-security central facility.
The largest gold deposits can be found primarily in South Africa (Witwatersrand), Australia (Super Pit), the United States (Carlin Trend), Russia, and China. These areas host significant reserves due to historical geological processes that concentrated the gold. Mining techniques are adapted to the specific characteristics of these deposits for effective extraction.
