Gold Fields Mineral Services Ltd (GFMS) is an independent, London-based consultancy and research company, focussed on the international gold and silver markets. GFMS is best known for its flagship publication, the annual Gold Survey, which features in-depth analysis and extensive statistics on gold supply and demand for over sixty countries.

Since 1994, GFMS has also been responsible for the World Silver Survey, produced on behalf of The Silver Institute in Washington. Both publications are quoted frequently by the media and industry analysts, confirming that GFMS are the acknowledged experts in the area of gold and silver research.

More recently, GFMS has undertaken research into the platinum group markets. As a result the company now produces a Precious Metals Quarterly which includes analysis of the gold, silver and platinum group metals markets.

In addition to its extensive product range, GFMS also undertakes privately commissioned research and consultancy across the precious metals complex. This can vary from one-off reports to ongoing, extensive market studies.
