Gold & Silver Ore Mining in the US

Although gold and silver production remains relatively weak, investment in precious metals will continue to fuel revenue growth. As a result of the growth in investment demand, operators are looking to boost product to take advantage of high prices. However, the economic recovery is expected to ease some of the growth in precious metal prices, causing revenue growth to slow in the coming years.

Firms in this industry mine gold and silver bearing ores. Mining includes the development of mine sites and the on-site processing of ore into a concentrate or bullion. Firms typically retain ownership of the semi-processed gold or silver product and pay for further refining on a toll-charge basis. The refining process is included as part of the copper, zinc and lead refining industry (IBISWorld report 33141).
