The 16 pages that link to Placer deposit, each with the reason it gives.

• Ore depositBroader topic: Mechanical sorting can enrich gold, tin, and other heavy minerals without chemical precipitation.

• AlluviumRelated: Alluvial sorting can concentrate gold and other heavy minerals in river gravels.

• Sediment depositionRelated: Repeated deposition can concentrate heavy grains in economically useful layers.

• Hydrothermal mineral depositCompared with: Mechanical sorting, rather than precipitation from hot fluids, creates its mineral concentration.

• CorundumRelated: Corundum’s durability allows crystals to collect in gem-bearing alluvial placers.

• MonaziteNarrower topic: Monazite's density and durability let it accumulate in placer deposits.

• Placer miningNarrower topic: Mining targets these naturally sorted accumulations rather than solid rock.

• CassiteriteRelated: Weathering releases cassiterite grains that streams can concentrate into secondary ore.

• RutileRelated: Rutile’s density and resistance to weathering allow it to accumulate in some placers.

• Gold panningNarrower topic: Gold panning exploits the same natural density sorting that forms placer deposits.

• IlmeniteBroader topic: Waves and currents concentrate liberated ilmenite in coastal placer deposits.

• Native element mineralBroader topic: Gold and other durable native minerals can collect in placers after erosion.

• Native metalRelated: Erosion can release native metals and sort them into economically useful deposits.

• ThorianiteNarrower topic: Dense thorianite can become concentrated in alluvial heavy-mineral deposits.

• Gold dredgeNarrower topic: Dredges target placer deposits where stream action has concentrated gold.

• Platinum groupRelated: Erosion can concentrate native platinum-group grains into workable alluvial deposits.
