Gold mined, by metal content. The latest year is a USGS estimate.
Figures are mine production — the MCS statistics row “Mine production” — as published by the U.S. Geological Survey in the Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026. They measure what left mines in each calendar year: not reserves in the ground, and not refined or smelted output, which for several of these commodities is concentrated in different hands. 2025 is the USGS estimate; 2024 is the reported figure.
World total · 2025 est. 3,300 t
World total · 2024 3,280 t
Producers listed 13
Top three · 2025 est. 29% The three largest producers — China, Russia and Australia — account for 29% of the 2025 world estimate of 3,300 t.
Each bar is that nation’s share of the published world total for the 2025 estimate. Shares are computed against the world total itself, never against the sum of the producers listed.
Press a row — the specimen turns over to its label. The track is 100% of the world total: a quarter-width bar is a quarter of the world.

Rest of world is the difference between the published world total and the producers listed: the MCS “Other countries” aggregate, withheld figures, and production this atlas does not file under a separate entity. Gaps appear as “—” rather than being estimated. The same tonnages appear on each nation’s dossier, resources tab.
