Something like nineteen million of those ounces, about 590 tonnes, appear in a reserve or resource statement, most of them Harmony's and DRDGold's. The other thirty-three million, about 1,030 tonnes, sit in nobody's books, in liquidated estates, on lapsed rights and on a derelict register of 6,100 sites, carried at zero or less. This paper is the ledger of the second reef: what is counted, what is not, who holds it, and where the discount has gone. https://media.assettype.com/biznews/2026-10-01/luyp362z/Screenshot-2026-10-01-at-12.58.30.png https://media.assettype.com/biznews/2026-10-01/2knvcer8/Screenshot-2026-10-01-at-13.23.15.png The surface ledger, in millions of ounces (fifty-one million ounces is 1,600 tonnes; the counted nineteen million about 590 tonnes; the remainder about 1,030). The endowment midpoint and its error band are Handley's (2023); the counted portion is the author's sum of the operators' declared reserves and resources, shown by owner; the remainder is the difference. https://media.assettype.com/biznews/2026-10-01/4k8d3jiq/Screenshot-2026-10-01-at-13.26.00.png https://media.assettype.com/biznews/2026-10-01/ygdcfmwh/Screenshot-2026-10-01-at-13.29.18.png The same ladder drawn to scale, on a logarithmic axis: from a dollar an ounce at the liquidator's counter to about 340 once the market prices a declared reserve, and to the metal itself at 4,182, with each rung's share of the gold price on its own day above it. The hatched bar is the cost of crossing, 120 dollars a reserve ounce, about 2,000 rand, at Mogale and 220 dollars, 3,600 rand, at Soweto; the rest is what the ounce fetches or is worth.
