Each year, global gold mining adds approximately 2,500-3,000 tonnes to the overall above-ground stock of gold. While gold production has shown an upward trend in recent years, this is likely to level off in coming years. Accurately estimating the amount of gold still within the ground is no easy task, and this estimate may change in response to several factors, such as:
