Realistically, they could probably boost total output 50% from current without straining anything.

In a year?! I didn't think mining was something you can simply flip a switch on. I remember looking at production over the last century and I don't recall any YOY production increase over ~~ 5%.

Let me rephrase, by 5%, I mean 5% increase over the previous above ground supply of gold.

I assume by 50% you meant a 50% increase of the ~~average 2% per year increase in the overall gold supply?
