GFMS World Gold is an independent mining equities research company formed as a joint venture between GFMS, the world's foremost precious metals consultancy, and World Gold Analyst, the gold mining industry's leading independent information source and investment aid.

We publish, on a subscription-only basis, the quarterly World Gold Analyst, which has proved to be an indispensable tool for busy mining executives, analysts, investment bankers and private and institutional investors around the world for over 50 years.

A more recent addition to our product list is the popular series of investment reports into gold exploration and development in specific regions of the world.

The joint venture also undertakes independent research into companies producing or exploring for precious metals worldwide.

The three product strands are discussed in more detail below.

Each quarter, World Gold Analyst provides subscribers with a summary of the operating and financial results of over 70 gold mining companies worldwide. Using easy-to-read tables, readers can compare companies and results across the globe. We cover all the statistics and indicators you need to keep track of companies' well being, from production, cash costs and earnings to status of projects through to market performance.

Through discussion, comment and detailed performance tables we highlight the variances, identify the potential winners and distinguish the trends.

But that's not all, as the following section-by-section breakdown illustrates:

• Metals & Markets - This section discusses and explains activity and performance in the gold and equity markets.
• Quarterly Review - This is the body of the publication. The various sections of the review cover the operating and financial results of most of the world's gold producers; give an update of the status of projects including juniors; classify resources and reserves and provide a valuation guide to these resources; look at where the next production might come from and analyses the results of the new breed of silver producers.

• World Gold Explorer - The Explorer section highlights significant exploration stories and promising new junior companies from around the globe.
