For investors, smaller gold companies are often the better investments. Nevertheless, the largest gold mines are also of interest.
Based on the production figures for 2022, the Grasberg gold-copper mine in Indonesia in the province of Papua tops the list of the world's largest gold mines. It was discovered back in 1936 and is located 4,100 meters above sea level. It produced about 1,798,000 ounces of gold last year. Most of the gold came out of the mine in 2001, about 3,500,000 ounces of gold saw the light of day. The second largest gold mine is located in Uzbekistan, it produced about 1.7 million ounces of gold.
The reserves and resources are still said to be more than 150 million ounces of gold. The third largest gold production volume came from Nevada Gold Mines' Carlin property in 2022. It is in the Carlin trend and represents the largest gold mining operation in the U.S. (just over 1.5 million ounces of gold). It is followed in the rankings by the Olimpiada mine, located in Russia. Just over one million ounces of gold were produced in 2022, less than in the previous year due to lower ore grades.
It is followed by the Boddington mine in Western Australia, then mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Canada (Ontario) and Nevada (USA). Ninth place goes to the Dominican Republic, and tenth place goes to a mine in Mali, on the border with Senegal. Inflation and crises such as the war in Russia make gold more attractive. As an investor, you can buy physical gold or invest in gold mining companies. A special possibility are participations in royalty companies, because a diversification, i.e. a spreading of risks is included.
