Which country produced most gold in 2007 ? S. Africa produced most for over 100 yrs, but who overtook them ?

Question: South Africa has been knocked (but only just) into second place as the world's largest producer of gold. If more than one person gets it, naming the third largest producer will be tiebreaker. If more than one person gets that - etc., etc.... Sorry, no - Australia is third

Answer: 2007 gold mining, according to World Gold Council: 1. China (276 t) 2. South Africa (270 t) 3. Australia (205 t) 4. USA (198 t, thanks mostly to the Carlin Trend in Nevada)
