Sustainable Gold Mining: Path to Responsible Mining
The gold mining industry heavily relies on transparency due to its complex economics and long-term commitments. To improve understanding and optimise the development potential, the World Gold Council developed the Guidance Note on Non-GAAP Metrics in 2013, which provides guidance on 'all-in sustaining costs' and 'all-in costs'.
