NRH Research scanned 1,896 companies and was able to identify 212 entities (Public, Private and Government Sponsored Corporations) that own 439 gold deposits hosting over 1,000,000 ounces in all categories representing a total of 3 billion ounces of gold.

NRH notes that “...there are only 439 assets that meet the industry perceived economic threshold of 1 million ounces.

While the crustal abundance of gold is fixed, and discovery grades continue to decline.”
