The chemical symbol of gold is Au; the name of Au comes from a story of Aurora, a goddess of dawn in a beautiful Roman mythology, meaning a shining dawn.

According to the World Gold Council data, in 2011, global gold demand was 4585.7 tons, up 12.3% year-on-year, of which jewellery demand was 1972.1 tons, down 2.21% year-on-year, investment demand was 2160.7 tons, up 34.96% year-on-year, accounting for 47.12% of total gold demand. The proportion of gold investment demand to total demand has increased from 15.95% in 2005 to 47.12% in 2011. The global demand for gold investment has grown rapidly and has become the main driver of demand growth. Demand for gold reserves, as of the end of the third quarter of 2012, the world's gold reserves of 31,491 tons, since 2009, the world's gold reserves have risen steadily. From the perspective of the proportion of gold reserves in foreign exchange reserves, China, Russia, Japan, India and other countries account for less than 10% of foreign exchange reserves, while compared with more than 70% of the United States and Germany, it is significantly lower, and countries have increased. Gold reserves.

In terms of regions, India's gold demand in 2011 was 933 tons, down 9.05% year-on-year, of which gold investment demand rose by 3.04% year-on-year, accounting for 39.28% of total gold demand. China's gold consumption was 770.5 tons, up 20.54% year-on-year, of which investment demand rose by 38.79% year-on-year, accounting for 33.76% of total gold demand. Judging from the current situation, China's gold demand is still strong in the future. According to the “Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Sustainable and Healthy Development of the Gold Industry” of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China's gold consumption demand is expected to exceed 1,000 tons in 2015, and China's gold demand continues to grow.

Production and status quo: Although some countries have increased their gold production, such as Australia, Peru, and Indonesia, gold production continues to increase, but gold production in South Africa, the United States and other gold producing countries is declining. In addition, due to the long investment cycle and high mining cost of the gold mining industry. From the historical data, the global mineral gold quantity is unlikely to grow rapidly. Therefore, we believe that the world gold production will not change much in the next few years and it is still relatively stable.

According to scientists, the gold resources in the earth's crust are about 60 trillion tons, and the per capita is more than 10,000 tons. However, the amount of gold resources identified in the world is only 89,000 tons, the reserve base is 77,000 tons, and the reserves are 48,000 tons. As of 2005, the amount of gold mined by humans was only 125,000 tons, accounting for about 600 million of the total reserves, and only 20 grams per capita.

The distribution of gold on the earth is very uneven and balanced. Although there are more than 80 countries producing gold in the world, the gold production varies greatly from country to country, and the output is quite uneven. The top 10 producers in the world in 2004. The Golden State is: South Africa, the United States, Australia, China, Russia, Peru, Canada, Indonesia, Uzbekistan, Papua New Guinea. Among them, China's gold production has been ranked fourth in the world. In 2004, South Africa, Australia and the United States accounted for 13.9%, 10.6%, and 10.2% of the world's total gold production, respectively, while China's gold production also reached 8.6%. The world's annual mineral gold is about 2,600 tons, but the ability to achieve this output is the result of thousands of years of continuous exploration and efforts by humans.

From the overall perspective of the development of human society, the 19th century is undoubtedly a very important century. Before the 19th century, the level of gold productivity in human society was very low. Some people thought that in the thousands of years before the 19th century, humans produced less than 10,000 tons of gold, such as 200 in the 18th century. Tons of gold. Due to the discovery of a series of gold resources in the 19th century, gold production has been greatly improved since then, especially in the 50 years of the second half of the 19th century, gold production exceeded the total of 5,000 years ago.
