Sitting in Jinshan, this looks like a high-profile luxury at first glance. Although the Jinshan Yinshan is not as green as the green mountains, the golden precious gold is placed there, after all, it is a symbol of strength. Therefore, in the eyes of many people, the gold mining company is a sign of wealth. However, when you compare it, you will find that it is an illusion to have a golden mountain to be rich. Not to mention the enemy, that is, some big companies can't stand it. Barrick Gold, the world's largest gold mining company, currently has a market capitalization of nearly $20 billion. Mining company BHP Billiton has a market capitalization of $100 billion. Apple, a technology giant with a market capitalization of $800 billion, is planning an IPO for Saudi Aramco. The valuation of oil companies will easily break through the trillion mark. Compared with these “big Mac†companies, the gold mining companies that own Jinshan are not that big. The reason why Jinshan will appear richer than other companies, on the one hand is due to historical and cultural factors - thousands of years as a symbol of wealth is a kind of "soft power"; on the other hand, the distribution of Jinshan is relatively scattered, It is easier to see gold companies than the oligarchs, and it is generally rich. In the eyes of many people, gold mining companies are just dig out the gold buried in the ground. It is a profit, but in fact, it is much more difficult for gold companies to operate. The price of purchasing mobile phones from Apple's different foundry factories is similar. The profitability of gold mining is not so uniform, and the cost between one project and another is significantly different. At present, apart from Antarctica, there are gold mines mined on every continent. The Glasgow Indonesia project, owned by Freeport McMurray, is the world's largest gold mine with an estimated gold reserve of 71 million ounces. South Africa's South Shenzhen Gold Mine is close behind, with an estimated reserve of 39 million ounces. There are 34 gold mines with more than 3 billion ounces of gold reserves in the world, of which 18 are located in the Americas and 16 are in Africa. It is worth mentioning that Africa currently accounts for 30% of global gold production, with traditional gold producing countries like Ghana and South Africa, as well as emerging gold producers like Tanzania, Mali and Côte d'Ivoire. Gold mining companies must process tons of ore to get a few grams of gold. The average grade of the 50 largest gold mines in the world is currently 5.3 g/t. This means that people have to dig up 10 tons of ore to refine a golf-sized gold. In contrast, the Acacia gold mine in Tanzania can extract 9 grams of gold per ton of ore, which means that the Jinshan has a higher profit margin. However, the ore grade is only one indicator that affects the profitability of gold mining companies. Gold production costs have a variety of statistical calibers, including cash costs, total maintenance costs, operating costs and total costs. The cost breakdown of each type of caliber varies. Take operating costs as an example South Africa's gold mining industry is among the highest in global operating costs, where gold mines operate at $246 per ounce, compared to US$189 per ounce in the US and US$169 per ounce in Canada. The lowest cost of production is in North America, with a cash cost of $598 per ounce. This is followed by Europe at $699 per ounce. The highest cost is in Africa, at $957 per ounce. From the perspective of full cost According to company statistics, the cost of gold in Canada is around $1,050 per ounce; Newmont is $900 per ounce, and the full cost of Barrick Gold is about $800 per ounce. Combined with the current gold price level, it can be seen that the current days of gold mining companies are not good. From the perspective of financial management Many gold companies have an internal rate of return of around 12% before tax, and it is not enviable data in the enterprise. Taking into account the economic environment and the risks of investors, this is enough to illustrate the financial dilemma of the development of Jinshan. Gold mining is expensive and can also cause damage to the environment, which further increases production costs. When all risks and costs are taken into account, gold mining may not be as crude as it might seem at first glance.
