South Africa is responsible for providing up to 15% of the world's gold, a huge industry when compared to other countries mining gold around the world. Gold was first discovered in South Africa in the 1800's and since then it has become one of the country's biggest exports, making a profit for mining companies as well as those who invest in them. Gold mines make up one of the biggest

What made South African mining viable was a new technique using cyanidation called the MacArthur Forrest process patented in 1887. By 1898 South African gold output had expanded to 118 tons (3.8 million oz), making it the world's leading producer, and after the interruption of the Boer War it soared to 280 tons (9 million oz) by 1913. Thereafter, every few decades major new extensions to the

For 130 years South Africa has been exploiting its gold resources in Johannesburg. But at what cost? 278 abandoned mines and 200 mining dumps, that contain about 6 billion tons of waste, exist in Johannesburg. For every single gram of gold extracted, 200 kg of waste are produced. Inside the city, hills composed of sand debris arise. At first

In South Africa, mining for gold typically involves methods like panning, sluicing, dredging, hard rock mining and by-product mining. The most effective method used is hard rock mining, since reserves are typically encased in deep underground rock. Where is gold found in South Africa? The majority of the country's gold resources are located in the Witwatersrand Basin, one of the world's

The South African mining industry is steadily declining. In 1980, mining made up about 20% of the country's GDP. Now it accounts for less than 10% due to high costs and low commodity prices to name a few reasons. 70,000 mining jobs have been cut in the last half a decade and more are expected to come. Many of the zama-zamas are former miners.

Rising costs, falling ore grades and a stagnant gold price are steadily eroding the economic viability of gold mining in South Africa. This paper explores the major economic dynamics behind the profit squeeze. The empirical analysis highlights the negative effect of the low gold prices—a development which more than drowned out the positive impact of increased labor productivity. Attention is
