Well, it isn't exactly "made" like a pair of pants or an automobile. It really is just found and separated from other things. The separation can be pretty toxic and produces a lot of waste (as the video points out, it takes something like four tons of ore to produce one ounce of gold).

Thanks for sharing!

Man, what a complicated process.
