Gold Mine Production Gold mining may be global business with operations on every continent, except Antarctica, and gold is extracted from mines of widely varying types and scale. Mines and gold mining operations might have become expanding geographically diverse, far removed from the concentrated supply of four decades or so ago when the vast majority of the world’s gold came from South Africa.
There are times when miners might want to lock in a specific price for their future gold production – for example, to manage project costs or debt servicing. These commitments might affect the amount of gold that enters the market. Check disclaimer on profile and landing page.
