Peak Gold, Easier to Model than Peak Oil? - Part I
Posted by Luis de Sousa on November 25, 2009 - 9:25am in The Oil Drum: Europe

This is a guest post by Jean Laherrère on gold. Although of little relevance to our economies in the present day, this precious metal has been used as money for many thousands of years, and still retains its importance and value. In a two part article, Jean analyses how gold mining is subject to depletion.

In this first installment, an assessment of reserves and a production model is presented for each of major gold-producing countries in the world.
