The gaites spawns randomly, there are a 100 spots on the world map but you can only get 60 gates in one game. Wether or not a gate will spawn at  a given spot is chosen when the player nears this spot(not at the start of a game) wich means that if you reload an earlier save the game might choose not to spawn the gate, even tho it chose to spawn it earlier.

btw all this is explained in the article, read it before asking a question =)
