2014 was a strange year for the gold sector.

Demand for the precious metal dropped four percent to 3,924 tons in 2014, according to the World Gold Council, while gold investment rose two percent from 885 tons in 2013 to 905 tons in 2014.

Oddly enough, mine production set a record of 3,114.4 tons after declines in gold prices in 2013, which saw gold producers focus on cost-cutting rather than development of new projects.
