Report summary
In 2014, total world gold mine production continued its 6 year upward trend despite a fall in the average gold price. Miners have adjusted to a low price by initiating a series of cost cutting measures such increasing head grade, lowering stripping ratios and reducing non-essential sustaining expenditure. Corporate activity has become more focused on creating shareholder value as opposed to chasing production growth.
