How much gold is left in the ground?

According to estimates by the US Geological Survey (2020), there is still just over 53,000 tons of economically recoverable gold in the ground worldwide. That's less than 30% of the total amount of gold present above ground. With an annual gold mine production of 3,000 to 3,500 tonnes, we can only continue for a few more decades. The global production of gold mines is barely increasing, a phenomenon that is also known as 'peak gold'. The following graph shows that a plateau has formed at just over 3,500 tonnes. It is becoming increasingly difficult to extract more gold from the ground.
