23/5/2017#0183;#32;These numbers report that the cost of extracting an ounce of gold is actually over 1,000 per ounce, well above the aforementioned numbers. And since gold is currently trading at just over 1,200 per ounce, it explains why mining companies have had lessthanstellar profits. Determining the costs of mining largely depend on the region as well. The cost differentiation depends on a variety of
Barrick Gold reported AISC of 788 per ounce and a cost of sales of 980 per ounce in the fourth quarter. The companys AISC was % higher YoY due to lower ounces sold. The company is still

#0183;#32;So then the natural sort of kneejerk conclusion would be, ''Oh, your allin sustaining cost is 1,800 an ounce, and so with gold selling at 1,200 an ounce, you should be shutting down this asset.''quot;

#0183;#32;Lets look briefly into the history of cost reporting in the industry. Since the mid1990s, gold mining companies have used an industryaccepted but nonGAAP reporting item called cash costs to gauge their performances. Cash cost per ounce of gold was purported to provide transparency into the economics of gold mining operations.
As gold prices approximate 1,800 an ounce, revenues from gold are projected to completely offset the total cost of production at Grasberg. With gold predicted to scale 2,000 again (futures
These costs ran from 500 to 800 per ounce, depending on the location of the mine. But these cash costs failed to consider the expense of running a company, buying and repairing equipment, adhering to compliance regulations, and such. A new metric has since been developed by the World Gold Council to report the allin sustaining costs of mining gold.
Barrick mined 581,000 ounces of gold in 2018 at a cost of 623 per ounce. The company has announced a billiondollar expansion project. Three gold mines showed a 20 percent or more improvement in their production costs, which also placed them in the top ten costefficient mining companies.
23/5/2019#0183;#32;Between 1989 and 2004 the average production was 230,000 ounces per annum, with a high of 370,000 ounces in 1992. Such were the robust economics of the project that the mine only closed when the gold price fell below US300 per ounce, about US1000 per ounce below where the precious metal is currently trading.
The mine has allin cash costs above US1,200 an ounce, which does not seem too attractive in a lowprice environment. But Barrick and Goldcorp spent more than US300million on the operation over the past couple of years as they acquired new, more efficient mining equipment. That pushed up allin sustaining costs in the short term, but should help Silver Standard over time.
The Grasberg mine is the largest gold mine and the secondlargest copper mine in the world. It is located in the province of Papua in Indonesia near Puncak Jaya, the highest mountain in has 19,500 employees. It is mostly owned by FreeportMcMoRan (FCX), which owns % of PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI), the principal operating subsidiary in Indonesia, including % owned through

Because the mining industry is subject to unpredictable and uncontrollable commodity price movements, AISCs costs are what some mines live and die by. For example, a marginal gold producer that has AISCs of US1200 per ounce is sailing close to the wind based on the current gold price of around US1280 per ounce.
4/2/2015#0183;#32;They calculate a total cash cost per ounce of gold equivalent production (oz Aueq) by dividing total revenue by the average price of gold over the reporting time. This allows us to accurately relate any financial item to a standardized unit, which in turn allows for a more appropriate comparison between gold mining companies and projects. Here are results utilizing all the methodologies
