Sofola (Delgoa bay), Mozambique, was renown among Portuguese as the Biblical Orphis, with streets paved with gold. Antonio Manutius, in 1538 Chapter King of Portugal's places
, recalls this alluvional gold was almost extinguished when Portuguese "conquered it" (before being wipe out by malaria, the proof Romans already knew and used the place). But I consider the last deadly cyclones, in that poor country so dramatically affected, may have unveil new gold deposits. What is your opinion at the respect?
Most of rich deposited mine/ oil/ Gold ..... countries always suffer from poverty which shows that political approaches of abusing .. ..
Gold as a source of wealth by its nature does not affect the poor but tends to be a system between the wealthy. Its affects create and bolster an elite and have no effect on food and clothes for the poor unless bartetred for them. I can assure you this never happens.
There are internal and external forces in those countries that mysteriously make the gold disappear. Pakistan, 2015, is a case example. In 2015, the former prime minister Nawaz Sharif announced that major reserves of gold, iron ore as well as copper, and silver were discovered in Chiniot City of Pakistan. The prime minister claimed it will be more than enough to wipe off the entire 21.5 trillion US dollars debt Pakistan had in 2015. That debt has gone up in 2019 five-fold to 105,840.7 trillion U.S. dollars. Unfortunate!
It could be more proud of, if the positive effect is felt by the common people.
The future lies beyond the yellow brick road:

I credulously think it should be an opportunity for gold industries to discover solidarity and sustainability.
I have spent time in several African countries and although hopefully it has changed since my time there, I found that politicians were expected to fund those close to them or related to them, even distantly. Tribes and kin still made effective demands. Thereby wealth dwindled quickly. Divided loyalties then between state and older loyalties.
Nevertheless, I found Port Harcourt quite poor considering the oil there and gained the impresion that outside forces were to blame.
