Foreign Media: According to the 2024 global gold production ranking, China ranks first with 380.2 tons, accounting for over 10% of global total output; Russia (330.0 tons) and Australia (284.0 tons) rank second and third, respectively.
The combined output of the top 15 countries reaches 3,661.2 tons, with Canada (202.1 tons), the United States (158.0 tons), Ghana (140.6 tons), Mexico (140.3 tons), Indonesia (140.1 tons), and Peru (136.9 tons) all exceeding 130 tons. Africa contributes nearly a quarter of global supply, with Ghana, Mali (100.0 tons), South Africa (98.9 tons), and Burkina Faso (94.4 tons) as major producers, though political instability and security risks continue to threaten local mining operations. Uzbekistan (129.1 tons), Kazakhstan (87.0 tons), and Brazil (83.7 tons) also feature prominently among the top performers.
Africa is becoming one of the fastest-growing markets for global gold, while China maintains a central position in the global gold market thanks to its dual advantage of "production + consumption."
