The initial discovery of gold in Colorado was in 1859. This occurred in Cherry Creek, near the confluence with the South Platte River. Gold has been a major contributor to the economic growth of the state. The estimated production of gold has exceeded forty two million ounces since this early discovery. The first gold discoveries in Colorado were placer deposits in and around the present site of Denver. Other notable placer mining areas include Clear Creek from Golden to Idaho Springs, the Blue River near Breckenridge, and the South Platte River near Fairplay.
