Ireland has a long history of mining. Records of mining here go back as far as the bronze age approximately 5,000 years ago. At this time the southeast of the country was a major copper producing area and gold was also being sourced from rivers and streams. During the industrial revolution in the late 18th century Ireland''s mining industry flourished.
#0183;#32;IRELAND has a long and rich history of gold mining, dating back to the 1800s and continuing even today. The first Irish gold rush occurred from 1795 through to 1860 with around 300kg of the mineral handmined from deep within the Emerald Isle.
The earliest copper production in Ireland, associated with the ancient mine at Ross Island in the southwest of the province of Munster, is generally considered to have commenced operations around 2400 BCE, and southwestern Ireland had become a major centre of copper production by 2200 BCE.

The gold for our Irish Gold Jewellery comes from the hills of Co. Tyrone. Here ancient sediments 540 Million years old were transformed by immense pressures and temperatures forming mountains, and in the process, veins of minerals including gold. This rare Irish gold is ethically mined ensuring its quality, purity and Irish provenance.
Gold was often associated with supernatural powers and systems of belief in some ancient societies. Perhaps what is most interesting is that during this time, compared to Ireland, there appears to be much less gold circulating in Cornwall and southern Britain, observes Dr Standish.
The book says the most popular shape for gold pieces in Ireland in the early Bronze Age was the halfmoon or lunula. Lunulae were made of thin sheets of hammered gold and the ends, or horns, incised with designs. The new study overturns many decades of belief that early Bronze Age Irish gold pieces were made from Irish gold.

Ireland has a long association with mining. Records of mining date back to the Bronze Age (ca 2000 ) when southwest Ireland was an important copper producer and alluvial gold was also worked for the production of gold artefacts.
Slate quarrying and pyrite mining also took place during this period as well as manganese and barite production in the south of the island. The late 18th century and early 19th century saw a gold rush in Ireland. In the years, it is estimated that 79,000 oz. of gold
