About the Game

Make your gold mining dream come true - start with a few spare bucks and work your way up to becoming a millionaire! The Gold Mining Simulator game is based on real-world mining techniques and machines.


Sit behind the wheel of multiple vehicles such as excavator, drill, front-end loader, bulldozer, and others. The whole gold mining operation depends on your steering skills!


Experience the challenging life of a chief mechanic. Various parts of machines can break when least expected and cost you big time.


Keep improving your gold mining business. Start with a simple bucket and a hog pan, lease your first claim, and upgrade it to next tiers, as you begin to dig gold.


Admire highly detailed vehicles and gold mining machines. Purchase new and more efficient wash plant parts to increase your earnings.


We created a big, detailed world with four unique gold mining claims. On each, you will find a fully deformable terrain. Each fragment of our world has its own background story you can discover in your spare time.
