Canada poised to become second largest gold producer
A Mines Branch report notes Canada produced over 912 million in gold in 1923 and expects rapid output growth. Porcupine and Kirkland Lake camps boosted Ontario gold profits, with 1923 Ontario gold output ~20 million and national gold around 25 million. Silver mining, led by Ontario and British Columbia camps, totals over 459 million ounces through 1922 with strong refinement networks and cobalt byproducts. The department anticipates further gains as new mines open and metallurgical industries expand.
