Why U S gold mining struggles amid high demand
The article explains that despite European demand, U S gold mining remains unprofitable due to fixed $35 an ounce pricing since 1934, rising mining costs, and a shrinking domestic industry. It notes Homestake Mining and Carlin Mining dominate production, with surface mining cheaper and new techniques still not overcoming the price-cost squeeze. Domestic demand and world stock levels further complicate expansion.
