No one answer. It would depend on the gold content of the mineral. The higher the gold content, the lower the energy cost. The deeper the mine, the higher the cost.

What is the cost of producing gold?

The cost of producing gold is highly variable depending on the mining method and the type of gold deposit. Some gold is found as free gold in rivers, for example, which means that it can be obtained for almost nothing. At the other extreme, there is gold that is locked up in the surrounding rock, at depth, where it has to be mined in a very costly, labour intensive, energy intensive way. It may be difficult to refine and in addition licences and royalties come into the equation. The crux of the matter is whether the production costs are more than the price of gold, in which case it is not feasible to mine it.
