| Two years earlier, the rich Witwatersrand gold deposits had been discovered in the Transvaal. |
|
| To the original Witwatersrand was added an arc of satellite towns from the Far West Rand goldfields to the huge coal, electricity, and oil plants of the eastern Transvaal. |
|
| The Witwatersrand Gold Rush of 1886 encouraged large numbers of Cornish miners to migrate to the South African Republic. |
|
| Palaeontologist Adam Yates of the University of the Witwatersrand cast further doubt on the generic separation. |
|
| The discovery of the deposit in 1886 launched the Witwatersrand Gold Rush. |
|
| Further gold rushes occurred in California, Colorado, the Black Hills, Otago in New Zealand, Australia, Witwatersrand in South Africa, and the Klondike in Canada. |
