Global gold production is in terminal decline
despite record prices and Herculean efforts by mining companies
to discover fresh sources of ore in remote spots, according
to the world's top producer Barrick Gold.
Aaron Regent, president of the Canadian gold giant,
said that global output has been falling by roughly 1m ounces
a year since the start of the decade. Total mine supply has
dropped by 10pc as ore quality erodes, implying that the roaring
bull market of the last eight years may have further to run.
"There is a strong case to be made that we are already
at 'peak gold'," he told The Daily Telegraph at the RBC's
annual gold conference in London.
"Production peaked around 2000 and it has been in decline
ever since, and we forecast that decline to continue. It is
increasingly difficult to find ore," he said.
