Gold mining is a global business with operations on every continent except Antarctica. The vast majority of the worlds gold was mined in the modern, post-war era and as the industry has evolved it has also diversified. Significantly, a greater number of countries have emerged as substantial gold producers over recent decades, which means mine supply has become less geographically concentrated and therefore, overall, more stable. The map below shows the amount of gold each country produces.
