✨🌍 Gold remains one of the rarest elements on Earth, comprising only about 0.001 to 0.006 parts per million of the earth's crust. Despite its scarcity, the quest for gold continues, but the pace of discovering large deposits has slowed significantly. As we explore the changing dynamics of global gold production, one wonders: are we nearing the peak of gold extraction? 📈Consider the shifting sands of gold mining: South Africa, once the world's gold powerhouse with over 1,000 tonnes produced in 1970, has seen a dramatic decline, dropping out of the top 10 producers last year. Meanwhile, new players like Uzbekistan have entered the scene, and Brazil has climbed the ranks. Amid these changes, Ghana remains the only African nation in the top 10, highlighting its enduring role in the gold industry. The relentless pursuit of this precious metal illuminates not just economic power, but also technological advancements in mining across different continents.💰 #Gold #GoldProduction #EconomicImpact #MiningTechnology #GlobalEconomy #GhanaGold #WorldVisualized #VisualData #VisualInsights Source: Forbes.com

With the current market turbulence, gold is once again a sought-after asset. Despite all the stock market volatility, long-term investors have been able to achieve stable returns of 8.5% per annum with the yellow metal since the 1990s. Precious metals are rarely an object of speculation but rather serve to maintain purchasing power in times of central bank-fueled inflation. West Africa has emerged as a major player in global gold production in recent years. Several countries in the region are among the world's largest gold producers, and the mining costs are unrivalled compared to other locations. Mali is currently Africa's third-largest gold producer and supplies over 50 tons of the yellow metal every year. The Canadian gold explorer Desert Gold Ventures Inc. sits like a spider in the web of the Senegal Mali Shear Zone (SMSZ) and is surrounded by major gold producers such as Barrick, Allied, Endeavour and B2 Gold. In the current year, 30,000 meters are being drilled and a feasibility study for mine construction is in progress. A good 1 million ounces of gold have been identified so far. The major mining companies around are already taking notice. A report by André Will-Laudien: https://lnkd.in/d9W8rfjy

Reference Material Specialist @LGC. We enable scientists to identify and develop scientific solutions that enhance global safety.
With the 2024 Olympics just around the corner, the race for this year's global gold production has already reached its conclusion.🥇 👇According to this excellent #infographic from Visual Capitalist, China secured the top spot in global gold production in 2023. > China's production of 370 tonnes of Au-197 allowed it to surpass both Australia and Russia, who tied at 310 tonnes and thus share a silver medal. 🥈 > Canada and the USA came just outside the medal placings, producing 200 and 170 tonnes respectively, while Kazakhstan, Mexico, and Indonesia also made it to the top eight in our competition. > South Africa holds the ninth position globally with an annual production of approximately 100 metric tons of gold. Despite a decline from its highest levels, this number still represents the country's substantial gold reserves and its longstanding mining heritage. The largest known gold reserve in the world is located in the Witwatersrand Basin, in the centre of South Africa. Speaking of gold expertise, LGC Industrial provides a wide range of industrial and geological reference materials, including a Carlin-Type Gold Ore CRM.

📌 The transition of Botswana—a country famous for its diamonds—has commenced following the Covid-19 pandemic. The country’s gemstone wealth extends beyond diamonds to include unexplored treasures of Copper, Gold, and Nickel ores. 📌 Since 2020, the significant impact of Covid-19 has redirected Botswana’s government focus toward the exploration and exploitation of non-diamond minerals. The US International Trade Administration (USITA) has also emphasized the need for investment in Botswana’s mining industry and the diversification of its mineral sectors. 📌 According to CEIC Data, the export figures for Copper and Nickel surged to 636.200 BWP mn in August 2023, a notable increase from the previous month's 636.000 BWP mn in July 2023. 📌 This transition signifies a remarkable shift in Botswana's trajectory, highlighting the potential transformation of its economic landscape. The journey from being a diamond-centric economy to exploring diversified mineral reserves is poised to redefine Botswana's role on the global stage.

Neal Froneman, CEO of Sibanye-Stillwater provided succinct insights during a post panel interview, speaking to critical aspects of mining and the bigger positive impact mining and minerals not on the list make and which must be recognised. https://lnkd.in/dtdEJQHU Highlighting the positive points that should not go unnoticed, Neal stated that “Mining is finally finding a place of civil society”. This shift alone is a big step in the right direction for the industry, and is certainly indicative of where technological advances, operational efficiencies, GenAI, supply chain transparency, the list goes on, will have a significant impact on the industry. As Accenture in South Africa, we are excited to see mining go from strength to strength at a rapid rate of organisational reinvention. #miningindustry #miningimpact #futureofmining #miningindustryinsights Etienne Steyn Nishal Nair Mohammed Suliman Sue Olivier Bodie Crossingham Peter L.

Mining #gold in West Africa comes with many challenges, not least among them maintaining your social licence in a region prone to strife. Asara Resources Limited (ASX:AS1, OTC:GMRMF) has ambitions to spearhead the next West African gold rush and has a simple but effective ethos – 'do no harm'. The global gold price reached an all-time high in December last year, touching US$2,135.39 per ounce, driven by a weak US dollar, and expectations the US Federal Reserve will soon begin to lower interest rates. Global conflict in the form of Russia’s war on Ukraine and heightened conflict in the Middle East has also contributed, shoring up the gold price as investors look for safe havens to park their capital. With South African mines faltering, Ghana became Africa’s new premier gold producer in 2019, ranked sixth in the world.
