Production cost of gold

The chart below shows the cost of mining gold for Agnico Eagle, one of the 10 biggest gold producers in the world, over time. It increased during the gold bull market in the 2000s and declined during the subsequent bear market. Chart 1: Gold prices (yellow line, London P.M. Fix, yearly averages, in $) and Agnico Eagle’s mining costs per ounce

Sep 09, 2021 Quarterly average global AISC of gold production from 2012. AISC cost curve represents the most recent quarter available. Update Schedule. Updated quarterly, in conjunction with the publication of Metals Focus’ Gold Mine Cost Service. Units. Prices and costs are quoted in US dollars per troy ounce unless otherwise stated

May 23, 2017 These numbers report that the cost of extracting an ounce of gold is actually over $1,000 per ounce, well above the aforementioned numbers. And since gold is currently trading at just over $1,200 per ounce, it explains why mining companies have had less-than-stellar profits. Determining the costs of mining largely depend on the region as well

Jun 16, 2021 Jun 16, 2021 Gold mining is a global business with operations on every continent, except Antarctica, and gold is extracted from mines of widely varying types and scale. At a country level, China was the largest producer in the world in 2020 and accounted for around 11 per cent of total global production. Our interactive gold mining map provides a breakdown

Jun 28, 2014 Jun 28, 2014 In early February 2014, the World Gold Council noted that the average industry cost of production is $1,200/ounce, with 30% of the industry becoming unprofitable if the gold price drops below that

Each year, global gold mining adds approximately 2,500-3,000 tonnes to the overall above-ground stock of gold. While gold production has shown an upward trend in recent years, this is likely to level off in coming years. Accurately estimating the amount of gold still within the ground is no easy task, and this estimate may change in response to several factors, such as:

Jul 21, 2021 Jul 21, 2021 Alongside mining costs, the U.S. production value of gold increased from 3.67 billion U.S. dollars in 2005 to a high of 12.6 billion U.S

Mar 18, 2016 Operating Costs of Gold Processing Plant. A small gold mine flowsheet is shown below together with cost data which clearly shows the results that can be ‘obtained when handling a low grade ore by a simple process. There are many commendable features in such a set up and no complicated machines or practices are embodied in this plan

Sep 26, 2019 Sep 26, 2019 Global gold production was estimated to be approximately $136 billion last year. We arrive at the figure by multiplying 107 million oz of gold production by the average gold price of $1,268 (Kitco.com). If we assume a conservative 90% total cost of production for gold for 2018 (my estimate based on my research), then it would equal $122 billion

The Guidance Note on Non-GAAP Metrics – all-in sustaining costs and all-in costs was first issued in 2013. In light of new accounting standards and to support further consistency of application, the The World Gold Council has published an updated Guidance Note

Oct 12, 2021 A time series of the global all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of gold production and cost curve for the most recent quarter. View data series. Global gold futures open interest. 15 October, 2021. Current futures open interest on the nine major global gold futures exchanges

Feb 19, 2021 Feb 19, 2021 AISC for the quarter were $1,491 per gold eq. ounce and $1,389 per gold eq. ounce for the year, below the revised annual production guidance due to lower cash costs and sustaining capital spend. Net loss for the quarter was $21 million ($0.03 per share) and $79 million ($0.12 per share) for the year

Feb 04, 2015 Feb 04, 2015 OPEX can also be shown as Cost of Goods Sold, Production Cost or Cost of Sales. It is indirectly classified under Cash Flow from Operations and represents direct costs attributable to the production of goods, in this case, metals sold. In gold mining, it includes the direct costs of mining, processing, transportation, and refining

There, all-in gold production costs can be more than twice as much as in Peru, which is the least expensive place to mine gold. According to the Thomson Reuters GFMS Gold Mine Economics Service, average all-in costs for South Africa were over $1,400 between 2005 and 2013

Gold production costs vary from region to region, from mine to mine, and from company to company (e.g., whether it is a junior or a senior company). For example, gold production costs in South Africa can be more than twice as much as in Peru
