Global mined gold production is projected to reach a record high in 2025, fueled by rising margins, new projects, and increased artisanal mining, according to the World Gold Council (WGC). Despite this anticipated peak, the industry may be approaching its limits due to declining reserves and rising costs, suggesting a future plateau in output. Current data shows a year-on-year increase in production, with contributions from various regions and mining types, though some operational suspensions could temper growth.
