Quarterly average global AISC of gold production from 2012. AISC cost curve represents the most recent quarter available. Update Schedule. Updated quarterly, in conjunction with the publication of Metals Focus’ Gold Mine Cost Service. Units. Prices and costs are quoted in US dollars per troy ounce unless otherwise stated.
The global gold cost curve is not far below current gold prices. Note how today’s prices (red dotted line) are not much above production costs for a majority of mines. The average mine pays $1,083 to pump out an ounce of gold, leaving a couple hundred dollars of profit at current rates. That equates to under a 20% profit margin.

The Feasibility Study's base case uses a gold price of $1,250 per ounce and generates a Life-of-Mine after-tax free cash flow of $150 million, an internal rate of return (IRR) of 23%, an after-tax net present value (NPV-5%) of $54 million, an average annual after-tax cash flow from operations of $21 million per year, an average operating margin per ounce of $364 and a payback period of 3.1 years.
Gold Cost Curves In 2016 the total Rand cash costs and all-in sustainable costs per ounce of gold produced from South African gold mines have risen by 9 year-on-year. The dollar denominated total cash and all-in sustainable costs decreased by 6 year-on-year much of which is a consequence of the further weakening of the Rand in 2016.

The Real Cost of Mining Gold Wednesday February 04, 2015 15:25 Since the bull market for gold began in 2003, the world’s major gold mining companies have produced tens of millions of ounces of gold and have raised (and written-off) many billions of dollars for capital expenditures and acquisitions.
Apr 03, 2020 An easy way to determine the cost structure of a gold mining company is to divide their cash cost per ounce by the current price of gold. If it is near 1/3, then it is a low-cost producer. Conversely, if it is near 2/3, then it is a high-cost producer. If we use a gold price of $1,500 (for round numbers), then 1/3 is $500, and 2/3 is $1,000.
