AISC for gold miners
AISC for various miners depends on the grades, efficiency, and geographical breakdown of assets. The average AISC for eight significant gold miners for 2015, as guided, is $950 per ounce compared to $900 per ounce for 1Q15. This cost excludes interest charges, impairment, and taxes. So including these charges, the margins for miners are very thin.
As the below graph shows, Iamgold Corporation’s (IAG) AISC guidance for 2015 is the highest at $1,125 per ounce. Next is Kinross Gold (KGC) at $1,050 per ounce. In comparison, Newmont Mining’s (NEM) AISC guidance is $990 per ounce, Barrick Gold’s (ABX) is $877, and Goldcorp’s (GG) is $912.
According to a 2015 survey by Gold Fields Mineral Services Ltd. (or GFMS), gold miners’ average all-in costs, including interest and extraordinary costs, were close to $1,208 per ounce in 2014. This excluded the impact of impairments. The average gold price was $1,260 per ounce.
Because of such narrow margins and debt issues, Allied Nevada had to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March 2015.."
Exactly how much does it cost to produce an ounce of gold?

For many years, there was broad agreement that the gold industry’s cost reporting was an embarrassment and an utter joke.
Gold miners have worked hard to shed that reputation in the past year and a half. And they certainly made progress with the introduction of all-in sustaining costs.
But the question remains: Are investors now being told what it really costs to produce an ounce of gold? According to experts, that is debatable..
..
"..Judging by recent earnings reports, the average all-in sustaining costs for the industry fall between US$1,100 and US$1,200 an ounce. In other words, margins in the gold sector are incredibly tight for all but the top-tier mines.."
