Read, and listen and find two reasons why gold is so valuable.

Where is gold found?

Gold is a precious metal. If you are very lucky, you could find a small gold nugget in a stream or even in your garden, but most gold is deep under the earth and you need to build gold mines and use special machines to dig it out. This is difficult and is one of the reasons why gold is so expensive. Gold is also expensive because it’s very rare -that, means there is not a lot of it.

There are gold mines in many countries. For many years, most gold came from South Africa, but now China is the first country for gold production.
