All in Sustaining Costs - Presentation and Article

[hammer161]

Despite Wango's assertion that cash costs are a true measure of the costs to produce an ounce of gold, AISC are considered a better measure. I think I may have provided this link before but here is a presentation by Agnico Eagle that explains AISC and shows what they are for several companies. Note that these are for mid tier or larger companies. https://www.denvergold.org/assets/downloads/luncheons/DGG%20May%206%202013.pdf A second link form the Financial post discusses AISC. The conclusion is that it is much better than just cash costs but still may not truly represent full costs. https://business.financialpost.com/2014/03/06/exactly-how-much-does-it-cost-to-produce-an-ounce-of-gold/
