How is Gold Formed? Simple! Gold is formed like this! Oh ChumPum! Gold is produced only when a Supernova occurs, as in, when stars explode or when Neutron Stars collide with each other. During such events, heavy elements such as Gold are formed via the rapid neutron-capture process. Now, when the Earth was getting formed, Gold, along with other heavy elements sank towards the Earth's core. It is believed that around 4 billion years ago, a huge number of asteroids collided with planet Earth, stirring its core and forcing some of the gold into the Earth's Mantle as well as Crust. https://www.thoughtco.com/how-is-gold...
