I found this article interesting, especially where it discusses the rising production costs of several of the larger mining corporations. An analyst quoted in an article calculates all-in, sustaining costs of producing gold at around $1,100 an ounce on average for the mining industry.

Tumbling gold prices add to miners' miseries

Anybody on CCF have knowledge of the mining industry and their production costs? I would expect that these costs would vary greatly from mine to mine due to varying labor costs, methods of extraction, and regulatory burdens.

Its exactly this. You also dont know how efficient theyve been with the large margin of error theyve had lately. But whats true for one mine isn't necessarily true for another.

Gold was mined when it was 300 ounce, theyll make the adjustments and keep mining. Maybe some smaller mining companies will go out of business but production wont come to a stop
