<P> For many years until 2006 , South Africa was the world 's dominant gold producer , but recently other countries with large surface area have surpassed South Africa : China , Russia , Canada , the United States , Peru and Australia . Albeit , none of these countries have approached South Africa 's peak production which occurred in the 1970s . Note the figures are for primary production . In the US , for example , for the years 2010 - 14 , new and old scrap exceeded both primary production and reported domestic consumption . </P>
