Ottawa, Ont.-Canada's gold-pro- duction in 1998 again established a new bigh record with a total of 1.800.502 fine ounces valued $39,082,005, as compared with the 1947 production of 1,852,785 finc dunces valued at $38,300,484, an in- crease of 37,807 ounces in quantity and 8781,541 in value, according to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics.
A feature of the report is that the. Quebec output of 60,006 fine ources was much greater than in any previous year, due largely, it is pointed out, to the continuous operation of the Noranda smelter where gold recoveries from copper ores treated during the year aver- nged $3.82 per tón.
