Gold is produced from mines on every continent except Antarctica, where mining is prohibited. There are several hundred gold mines operating worldwide ranging in scale from minor to enormous. This figure doesnt include mining at the very small-scale, artisanal and often unofficial level.
Today, the overall level of global mine production is relatively stable. Supply has averaged approximately 2,497 tonnes per year over the last several years.
The high value of gold makes recovery economically viable. Between 2005 and 2009, recycled gold contributed an average 32% to annual supply flows. Central banks and multinational organisations hold one-fifth of global stocks of gold as reserve assets .The governments hold around 10% of their official reserves as gold, although the proportion varies country-by-country.

The gold sales from official sector been diminishing in recent years. Net central bank sales amounted to just 41 tonnes in 2009.
PRICE OUTLOOK
After the economic crisis of 2008 a number of economists and gold traders believe that the increasing wealth with regards to the global population over the past decade was not real. In India gold is still trading in the Rs.27555 for 10 grams, in the past 1 year the glittering metal has gained 22%. Further expected to rise to 1,00,000 for 28 grams by next year and 2,50,000 for 28 grams after that, so this is the best time to invest in gold.
Value of gold in the government's treasury has grown by over Rs 1, 00,000 crore in about two years. Currently RBI is holding gold estimated at 557.7 tonnes valuing about Rs 1,60,000 crore. The total gold that India holds right now is the 10th largest in the world. WGC had said that the global gold demand had risen by six per cent.
