Answers

- Exhaustion of the mineral because gold is non re-newable and the old mines in the land
are being depleted
- The gold grade being worked now is of poorer quality that of some years back
- The mines are becoming deeper hence mining costs have escalated and also required
new technology which is more costly
- Inadequacy of water for processing gold due to seasonal rainfall received and
increased population on the rand
- High cost f labour because of increased demand for higher wages and competition from
other factors of the economy
