Gold is one of the most precious and expensive metals and is often used as a safe hard asset - an alternative investment to fiat currency. With that in mind, this infographic takes a look at global gold mines and deposits, and how they all rank up.
As far as we know, there has not been a similar initiative to compile such a comprehensive database of the world's gold mines and deposits.
