Maybe Bob Johnson, who I find to be a very credible source of gold related info, can clear this up for us all.

Quick version:

Theoretically about 7 billion ounces of gold should have existed in earth's crust

Just under 4 billion ounces has been mined in all history
About 1 billion ounces is currently economically mineable
Leaves about 2 billion ounces either not found or uneconomic

Central bank hold 1.2 billion ounces (30% of all mined)
Annual primary gold production is 82.1 million ounces
Looks like 14 years, more or less.
