Gold prices have increased sevenfold in 20 years, and the reasons behind gold's surge...
In 2002, the price of gold was approximately 63 yuan/gram. In July 2023, it reached around 460 yuan/gram. Over 20 years, the price of gold has surged sevenfold. What factors contributed to this dramatic increase?

Precious Metals and Monetary Policy
- Global economic instability and increased risk aversion may drive investors to seek the safe-haven advantages of gold, thus pushing up prices.
- Increased inflation expectations lead to a demand for tangible assets to hedge against inflation risks. Gold is often seen as an inflation hedge, as its value largely remains stable, protecting investors from inflation erosion.
- Monetary policy and interest rate changes, as well as currency devaluation pressures, often lead investors to turn to gold as a means of preserving value.
- A positive outlook on gold's trajectory and increased speculative demand provide support for price increases.
Imbalance in Gold Supply and Demand
☑In 2022, investment in gold bars and coins in Europe exceeded 300 tons, while demand in the Middle East increased by 42% year-on-year. However, global gold jewelry demand fell by 3%, reaching only 2,086 tons.
☑In the first quarter of 2023, China's gold jewelry consumption rebounded to 198 tons, accounting for 41.42% of global gold jewelry consumption.
Optimistic Outlook for Chinese Economic Growth
As one of the world's largest consumer markets, China's economic growth significantly impacts gold demand. The recently released GDP growth data for the first half of the year met expectations, leading to a more optimistic market outlook for the Chinese economy. This could stimulate increased gold purchases by domestic consumers and investors.

JPXRT Intelligent Ore Sorting System

The JPXRT intelligent ore sorting system is suitable for all ore types and has extensive experience in non-ferrous metal ores, precious metal ores, ferrous metals, non-metallic minerals, and building materials. Against the backdrop of soaring gold prices, Jumper Technology received nearly 50 inquiries for intelligent ore sorting systems from gold mining companies in the first half of 2023. Effective intelligent sorting tests have been completed for over 30 gold mines based on their production and sorting expectations and needs.
Some Gold Mine Cases
Rejection rate ≥35% Tailings grade Au ≤0.25g/t
02 A Gold Mine in Tibet
Rejection rate ≥38% Tailings grade Au ≤0.1g/t
Rejection rate ≥30% Tailings grade Au ≤0.15g/t
Rejection rate ≥30% Tailings grade Au ≤0.17g/t
The JPXRT intelligent ore sorting system uses X-ray透视 and material identification, along with machine vision detection technology, big data, deep learning, and high-performance computing. It accurately analyzes and identifies each piece of ore, using a high-speed air-powered gun for precise targeting to achieve effective separation and sorting of ore and waste rock. It is suitable for mining enterprises such as ore dressing plants, mines, and waste rock dumps, as well as metallurgical enterprises involved in the sorting of metallurgical production waste.
The fully automatic coal gangue intelligent sorting system is a new generation of block coal gangue intelligent sorting equipment based on advanced imaging and artificial intelligence technology. Using material characteristics obtained from the X-ray imaging system, it automatically analyzes and identifies coal and gangue, controlling high-pressure air to blow the target, achieving fully automatic raw coal sorting. It is suitable for gangue removal in raw coal preparation workshops, pre-gangue removal in coal transportation stations, pre-treatment of materials in coal washing plants, coal gangue sorting in arid and cold regions, and gangue removal in old coal mine building renovations.
The smart mine overall solution achieves interconnection, interconnection, digitalization, perception, and intelligence in smart mines, ensuring safe production, improving production efficiency, and promoting faster and better development towards unmanned, safe, and green mines.
