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 2019 and accounted for around 11 per cent of total global production.
When four out of three value creation factors are negative, the risks overrun the opportunity. Investment dries up. Highlights: South Africas mining production expanded by a moderate 10% during the last 2000s supercycle. That expansion was less than during the 1960s supercycle.
Wage negotiations looms as another risk factor for mining companies in light of the fall in prices and strain being placed on their bottom lines. Wages are always important for both parties.
