The formal statistics were established in the 1960s and since then Africa regarded to be the leader among gold mining countries. But it decreased in the mid-2000s. Other countries began to overtake South Africa, because they have large land areas and sophisticated mining operations. One of those is Canada now; it is one of the five largest gold producing countries.
