Gold Production by Country

Gold production by country shows how much gold is mined in each country, measured in tonnes. The figures refer to mine production in terms of metal content, in line with the underlying sources. The statistics combine an Our World in Data series for the earlier years (2020-2024), built from the USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries and the BGS World Mineral Statistics, with 2024 and 2025 estimates taken directly from the USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026. The table covers 104 countries included in the underlying data during the period. USGS reports 2025 estimates for 13 countries, which produced a combined 2,250 tonnes in 2025; together with the "Other countries" value of 1,000 tonnes, this totals 3,250 tonnes, which is 50 tonnes below the reported World total of 3,300 tonnes in the source. The remaining countries retain their latest available figures from the earlier series, mostly from 2023.

Largest Gold-Producing Countries in 2025

China produced the most gold in 2025 with 380 tonnes. Russia ranked second with 310, followed by Australia (280), Canada (200), the United States (160), Ghana (150), Mexico (140), Kazakhstan (130), Uzbekistan (130), and Peru (110).

China alone accounted for about 12 percent of the World total in 2025, and China and Russia together for about 21 percent; the top three countries accounted for about 29 percent. China's output was about 1.2 times that of Russia. Four countries produced at least 200 tonnes in 2025.

Gold Production Around the World

In Asia, China (380) leads, followed by Kazakhstan (130) and Uzbekistan (130) in Central Asia and Indonesia (90) in Southeast Asia. In Oceania, Australia (280) is the dominant producer, ahead of Papua New Guinea (41, 2023).

In North America, Canada (200) is the largest producer, ahead of the United States (160) and Mexico (140). In South America, Peru (110) leads, ahead of Brazil (80); Argentina (39.05, 2023), Bolivia (46.6, 2023), and Colombia (60, 2023) retain older values, alongside Chile (35.8, 2023). In Africa, Ghana (150) leads, ahead of South Africa (90); Mali (70, 2023), Burkina Faso (60, 2023), Guinea (74.0, 2023), Tanzania (60, 2023), and Ivory Coast (51.3, 2023) retain older values. In Europe and northern Asia, Russia (310) is the largest producer; Türkiye (36.25, 2023) retains an older value.

Largest Changes in Gold Production, 2024-2025

China recorded the largest increase, rising from 377 tonnes in 2024 to 380 in 2025 (up 3, less than 1 percent). Peru rose from 108 to 110 (up 2), and Ghana and Uzbekistan each by 1 tonne. Russia (310), Canada (200), Mexico (140), and South Africa (90) held their levels.

Australia and Indonesia each recorded the largest decline, falling by 4 tonnes. Australia fell from 284 to 280 (about 1.4 percent), Indonesia from 94 to 90 (about 4 percent), the United States from 163 to 160 (down 3, about 2 percent), and Brazil from 82 to 80 (down 2).

The World total rose from 3,280 to 3,300 tonnes (up 20, about 0.6 percent); the World total is reported separately from the country figures in the source.

Where the earlier series provided a 2024 value, the revisions are visible: Ghana was revised up from 130 to 149 tonnes, Mexico up from 130 to 140, Uzbekistan up from 120 to 129, Peru up from 100 to 108, Brazil up from 70 to 82, the United States up from 160 to 163, Australia down from 290 to 284, South Africa down from 100 to 90, and Indonesia down from 100 to 94.

Methodology

The earlier figures come from Our World in Data, which compiles national gold production figures from the USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries and the BGS World Mineral Statistics, with major processing by Our World in Data; USGS data is prioritized, with BGS data used to supplement it. The earlier series covers 2020-2024. The 2024 and 2025 figures are estimates from the USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026 where available; countries not reported individually keep their latest available values from the earlier series, mostly from 2023. Values refer to mine production of gold, in tonnes, in terms of metal content, and 2025 figures are preliminary estimates from the source. The sum of individually reported country estimates does not equal the reported World total because the source applies rounding and other adjustments at the country and World levels. In the table, a zero reflects no production, while an empty cell means that no value was reported.
