	'''Panning''' is a form of placer mining and traditional mining that extracts [[gold]] from a placer deposit using a pan. The process is one of the simplest ways to extract gold, but its productivity rate is comparatively smaller compared to other methods such as the rocker box or large extractors, which has led to panning being largely replaced in the commercial market. There are several designs for gold pans, but the commons features are means for trapping the heavy materials during agitation, or for easily removing them at the end of the process.

			== Advantages ==

			* It requires little tools to begin.

			== Disadvantages ==

			* It is reliant on labor for work to be done.
			* Skilled workers are required.
			* Metals must be worth the cost of tools and time of workers. So, only expensive metals can be extracted.
			* Metals obtained have low purity and tend be un-usable for applications where high ductility and mailability is required.
