The world's top 10 largest gold mines

(Kitco News) - Kitco positioned the world's greatest mother lodes by creation in 2021. The positioning underneath was created based on 2021 (schedule year) creation figures announced by organizations and starter gauges for Muruntau. The gold result is in thousand ounces (koz).

1. Muruntau, Uzbekistan. 2,000 koz (assessed).

The Muruntau mining complicated, situated in Uzbekistan and comprising of open-pit mine and stack filter activities, is assessed to have delivered somewhat multiple million ounces of gold in 2021. Worked by the state-possessed Navoi organization, the mine is more than 3.3km long, 2.5km wide almost 600m profound. Taking into account the staggering asset base, assessed at more than 150 million ounces, Muruntau will probably keep its title as the world's greatest mother lode in the closest future.

2. Carlin, USA. 1,501 koz.

On July 1, 2019, Barrick's Goldstrike (counting 60% portion of South Arturo) and Newmont's Carlin were added to Nevada Mother lodes and are presently alluded to as Carlin. This tremendous incorporated activity was found west of the city of Elko on the geologic component known as the Carlin Pattern. Extending 56km (35 mi), the Carlin Pattern was first prospected by Newmont geologists John Livermore and Alan Coope in 1965.

3. Grasberg, Indonesia. 1,370 koz.

Freeport-McMoRan's Grasberg copper-gold store in the Indonesian territory of Papua was founded in 1936 by a Dutch geologist who called it Ertsberg or "mineral mountain". The mine, which gives work to 30,000 individuals, is found 4,100m above ocean level close to Puncak Jaya, the most elevated mountain in Papua. Creation of gold crested in 2001 at over 3,500 koz. The mine delivered 1,370 koz of gold in 2021, up 62% more than in 2020 as the organization effectively progressed Grasberg to be the world's biggest underground block-buckling activity.

4. Olimpiada, Russia. 1,113 koz.

Situated in one of Russia's most productive gold mining areas, the monstrous Olimpiada mine is Polyus' biggest activity. The mine started created in 1996 and presently represents a portion of the Moscow-based organization's all-out gold result. The metal mined at the site is handled at three plants with a joined limit of 13 million tons of mineral every year.

5. Cortez, USA. 828 koz.

The Cortez mother lode is a huge gold mining and handling office in Lander and Aha Province, Nevada, US, found roughly 75 miles (120 km) southwest of Elko and contains the Pipeline and South Pipeline stores and the Cortez Slopes store. Pipeline and South Pipeline are open pit mines, while Cortez Slopes is an underground and open pit mining activity. On July 1, 2019, Cortez was added to Nevada Mother lodes, a joint endeavor among Barrick and Newmont.

6. Pueblo Viejo, Dominican Republic. 814 koz.

The Pueblo Viejo mine in the Dominican Republic is around 100 km northwest of the capital city of Santo Domingo. The mine is worked by the Pueblo Viejo Dominicana Organization — a joint endeavor between Barrick (60%) and Newmont (40%).

7. Kibali, DRC. 812 koz.

The Kibali mother lode in the Fair Republic of Congo is arranged adjoining the town of Doko and 210km from Arua on the Ugandan line. Kibali is co-claimed by AngloGold Ashanti (45%), Barrick Gold Enterprise (45%) following its consolidation with Randgold Assets, and Société Minière de Kilo-Moto (SOKIMO) (10%), a state-possessed gold mining organization.

8. Canadian Malartic, Canada. 715 koz.

Canadian Malartic is Canada's greatest mother lode. Canadian Malartic is at present an open-pit mine, yet the activity is propelling an enormous underground task, known as the Odyssey project, that progress Canadian Malartic into an underground activity by roughly 2028 with a mine life that runs until no less than 2039. Canadian Malartic is together possessed by Yamana Gold and Agnico Bird.

9. Diversion Lake, Canada. 713 oz.

Agnico Hawk's Diversion Lake mine is the second biggest gold-creating activity in Canada with the biggest gold stores and significant development potential. The Diversion Lake activity is situated in northeastern Ontario, roughly 300 kilometers upper east of Timmins. It has a mine life of roughly 22 years.

10. Loulo Gounkoto, Mali. 700 koz.

Barrick's Loulo-Gounkoto complex contains two particular mining licenses, Loulo and Gounkoto, and is arranged in western Mali, lining Senegal and neighboring the Falémé Stream. Société des Mines de Loulo SA (Loulo) possesses the Loulo mother lode, and Société des Mines de Gounkoto (Gounkoto) claims the Gounkoto mother lode. Both Loulo and Gounkoto are possessed by Barrick (80%), and the Territory of Mali (20%).
