Is the cost of mining gold increasing?
*Financial Times, by Chris Flood, March 13, 2007:
"Gold traded at $650.10 a troy ounce, helped by strength in the oil
market. South Africa’s gold output fell by 8.9 per cent year-on-year in
January, continuing its weak run. Last year, South Africa’s gold output
sank to its lowest level since 1922 as the average grade of ore mined
continued to decline. The industry is being forced to mine at ever
greater depths and higher temperatures as established resources become
exhausted."
