The rapid growth of the goldmining industry intensified processes started by the diamond boom: immigration, urbanization, capital investment, and labour migrancy. By 1899 the gold industry attracted investment worth
The most expensive place in the world to mine gold is in South Africa. There, allin gold production costs can be more than twice as much as in Peru, which is the least expensive place to mine gold.
