It begins by stating that the price of gold has been fixed by the British government, despite annual production being small compared to the total gold stock. The author believes that to increase the price of gold would be impractical, but instead suggests other solutions, including the establishment of a mint in Johannesburg and government assistance in offsetting the increased cost of production for mines. Additionally, the work covers topics such as the status of the diamond, coal, iron, copper, and tin industries in South Africa, as well as the potential for future mineral discoveries. The author views the book's central subject within the broader context of South Africa's mineral wealth and its economic development. The book offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing the mining industry in South Africa, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the country's economic history and future prospects.
