Maybe the market cap in this graph is the total amount of gold extracted.

    That would be my guess. But do we even know that precisely?

    The gold market cap has always been the approximate amount of gold that has been extracted. While I don't think anyone can give you an actual precise number, the approximate number is pretty widely known and tracked as we extract more.
