英國王室的黃金已經被英國王室戴了幾代人。

當威爾士公主的凱瑟琳嫁給了威爾士親王威廉王子時，她接受了她的金婚禮樂隊，這些婚禮樂隊是從多爾格拉附近的威爾士山坡深處採購的。

The gold of Clogau St David's mine in north west Wales has been worn by Britain's Royal Family for generations. When the now Princess of Wales, Catherine married the Prince of Wales William she accepted her gold wedding band sourced from the depths of the Welsh hillside near Dolgellau.

Those who have also worn the gold from the deep, gritty cavern include the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Margaret, Princess Anne and Diana, Princess of Wales.

那些也從深，堅韌不拔洞穴中戴著黃金的人包括蘇塞克斯公爵夫人，梅根·馬克爾（Meghan Markle），伊麗莎白女王（Queen Elizabeth），女王母親，女王伊麗莎白二世，瑪格麗特公主瑪格麗特，瑪格麗特公主，安妮公主和戴安娜，威爾士公主。

But Clogau gold has long been sought after not just due to its connection to the royals but its rarity. Since 1854 the mine, accessible the miners via ladders pushed through holes, has produced 80,000oz of gold, while the world's biggest gold mines can extract more than 1,000,000oz in a single year.

但是，克羅戈·金（Clogau Gold）長期以來一直受到追捧，不僅是由於它與皇室成員的聯繫，而且是因為它的稀有性。自1854年以來，該礦山可以通過推動洞的梯子到達礦工，產生了80,000盎司的黃金，而世界上最大的黃金礦物可以在一年內提取超過1,000,000盎司。

The mine ceased operations in 1998 with resources assumed to have been exhausted, but it has now been reopened by Alba Mineral Resources who in 2018 acquired a licence to mine again at what was once the UK's richest gold mine.

該礦山於1998年停止了運營，假定資源已經耗盡，但現在已被阿爾巴礦產資源（Alba Mineral Resources）重新開放，他們在2018年獲得了曾經是英國最富有的金礦的許可證。

It has taken much work to ensure the mine is up to modern safety regulation standards. Alba acquired the mine with the belief new technology could reveal new seams of gold.

它已經花了很多時間來確保礦山符合現代安全法規標準。阿爾巴（Alba）以新技術的方式獲得了該礦山，可以揭示新的黃金接縫。

And their gamble has paid off as gold is being mined from way below the surface of the Eryri hills again. In March one single coin at 1oz from the mine sold for £20,000 - well over the current gold price.

隨著黃金再次從埃里里山（Eryri Hills）的表面下方開採，他們的賭博已經獲得了回報。 3月，與該礦山1盎司的一枚硬幣以20,000英鎊的價格售出 - 遠遠超過了當前的黃金價格。

The coin features an image of a dragon on top of the nearby mountain of Cadair Idris on one side and miners on the other as a tribute to those who worked at Clogau St David's in its heyday.

硬幣的圖像在附近的Cadair Idris山上的一側的圖像，另一側為礦工，以向在Clogau St David's工作的人們致敬。

A maximum of 12 people can currently work at the site but there is scope for many more if the gold Alba hopes to find is really under the surface.

目前，最多可以在現場工作12人，但是如果金巴爾希望找到真正在地面下，還有更多的空間。

Photographer Matthew Horwood was invited to the mine by Mark Austin, Chief Operating Officer at Alba Mineral Resources, and his team to see how they're getting on. You can see pictures taken this week from the mine below.
