“… it appears that China has taken the lead again as the world’s top gold producing country… Australia briefly became top producer for the first time, based on gold production figures for the first half of 2021.”
“Production at some of Australia’s largest gold operations was adversely affected by a larger than usual number of operational factors in the September quarter.”
“The outlook is positive, with several projects currently under construction and a healthy number of scoping and feasibility studies underway.”
“Exploration and drilling activity remains high in the gold sector overall and IPOs and share issues are being well supported.”
