Placer mining is very popular because: 1) of the low cost of this type of mining and 2) the fact that most of the gold can be recovered using low-technology (gravity) recovery methods. Open pit mining is popular for many of the same reasons. For listing purposes, a large placer or open pit mine is defined as having an asking price of more than $100,000 USD.
