Global gold production over the years ⛏ 👑 South Africa's grip on the gold crown has loosened considerably. Once an undisputed champion, the nation's gold production has taken a tumble. One key challenge lies in the nature of the resource itself – gold is finite. Easily accessible near-surface deposits were quickly exhausted, forcing miners deeper underground. Extracting gold from these extreme depths (3-4 KMs) requires substantial investments in infrastructure, ventilation, and cooling systems. These high costs make it increasingly difficult to make a profit. The high cost of deep-level mining has led major mining companies to re-evaluate their South African operations. Some, like AngloGold, have opted to leave entirely. Others, like Gold Fields & Sibanye Stillwater, have either minimised their presence or reduced capital expenditure on South African gold projects. A 2023 PWC report paints a grim picture. With an estimated 68 million ounces of gold reserves remaining, the South African gold industry might only have 27 years left. Many mines are expected to close even sooner, within the next 20 years. 🕰 Written by Marvin Matabane Source: VGraphs Curious about the forces shaping South Africa's economy & financial markets ⚡?

On the new #FIRB rules... "Fast-tracked treatment will be given to so-called “frequent flyer” investors who are regularly before the Foreign Investment Review Board, as well as investments in non-sensitive areas such as professional services, mining of non-critical minerals, commercial real estate and new housing." Since I have done extensive work on the non-China market for critical minerals, like rare earths, and know that there isn't any of significance, it is pretty clear where a local minerals investor should focus. Target anything that is NOT on the #CriticalMinerals list. There is NO serious Western market for critical minerals, which means you have to sell to China, which means you are not going to get anywhere. However, the non-critical minerals are fine. Great news for #gold, #uranium and #copper. These are in bull markets, so we are good. Of course, the fully paid-up moron contingent from don't-think-tank land will soon be along to screw that one vibrant section of our mineral economy. Hopefully, we can make some money before they f888k that up too.

"Why West Africa is the Preferred Source for Gold Buyers" Gold buyers often prefer West African gold for several reasons: Rich Deposits: West Africa, particularly countries like Cameroon, Ghana, Burkina Faso, and Mali, is known for its substantial gold reserves and high-quality ore, making it a key region for gold mining. Established Mining Industry: The region has a well-established mining infrastructure, with numerous operating mines and a history of successful gold production, which can provide buyers with a more reliable supply. Regulatory Environment: Some West African countries have more stable regulatory frameworks and practices that promote foreign investment and secure mining operations compared to some Central and East African nations. Logistics and Accessibility: West Africa often has better logistical networks for transporting gold, including ports and road systems, facilitating easier trade. Market Demand: There is a growing global demand for gold, and West African gold is often seen as a more favorable source due to its reputation and the reliability of suppliers. Environmental and Ethical Practices: Some buyers are also drawn to regions that prioritize responsible mining practices, and West Africa has made strides in improving the sustainability of its gold production. These factors combined make West African gold an attractive option for buyers looking for quality and reliability in their sourcing.

#CDH's Doing Business in South Africa (DBSA) annual publication highlights important aspects relating to the legal requirements affecting the mining and minerals industry. The DBSA publication focuses on various aspects such as the rights of communities, state and contractual royalties, BEE under the mining charter, and beneficiation. The chapter on Beneficiation highlights that in June 2011, the government adopted a beneficiation strategy for the minerals industry. The beneficiation strategy provides a framework that seeks to translate the country's comparative advantage inherited from mineral resources endowment to a national competitive advantage. The strategy is aligned with a national industrialisation programme, which seeks to enhance the quantity and quality of exports and promote the creation of decent employment and diversification of the economy. It is anchored on a range of legislation and policies such as the Minerals and Mining Policy for South Africa (1998). It will also advance the objectives of the MPRDA, the 2010 Charter and the 2018 Charter, the Precious Metals Act 37 of 2005, the Diamonds Amendment Act 29 of 2005, the energy growth plan as well as compliance with environmental protocols.

Interestingly, while global gold mine production has seen a 26% increase since 2010, Africa has significantly outpaced this growth, witnessing nearly a 60% rise. Production has more than doubled in at least 10 African countries, with Mali standing out due to its vast, surface-level deposits. This geological advantage translates into lower production costs, and minimal drilling expenses, positioning Mali as a highly attractive jurisdiction for gold exploration and production. For commodity investors looking towards the future, Mali represents not just increased gold production opportunities but a testament to Africa's role as a crucial player in the global market.
