Only in Antarctica are there no gold mining operations. The country with the largest gold production worldwide is China, around eleven percent of global gold production is extracted from the ground here. However, the largest gold resources are found elsewhere. Australia is at the top of the list. It is followed by Russia, South Africa, the USA and in fifth place Indonesia. The largest gold producing countries are currently after China, Russia, Australia, the USA, Canada and Ghana in West Africa. At the bottom of the list of the largest producing countries are Sweden, Finland and New Zealand.

Gold mining stocks are more volatile than physical gold. In general, junior companies are considered riskier than "majors". And gold price leverage can make for wild price swings. Investors should be aware of leverage because it significantly affects the performance of gold mining stocks. If the gold price goes up, gold mining stocks benefit even more, but this is also true the other way around. This is also why the stocks are more volatile than physical gold. This can be vividly illustrated by comparing the gold price, HUI and XAU. HUI (NYSE Arca Gold BUGS Index) and XAU (Philadelphia Gold and Silver Index) are good indicators of the gold price as indices. Both indices have been around since 1979 and 1996 respectively.

In any case, every investor can pick the right investment from the gold mining sector according to his intention. CanaGold or OceanaGold, for example, are worth a closer look.

OceanaGold – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtFuwcmAl9E&t=2s – is an established gold producer with projects in the USA, the Philippines and New Zealand.

CanaGold – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0q2eIuYKI4 – is pleased with very good drill results from its New Polaris gold mine in British Columbia.
