Gold production volume Australia FY 2022-2028
Australia’s gold rush
Australia looks set to become the world’s largest gold producing country by 2021, overtaking China in the process. This was partly due to tightening environmental regulations, and partly due to the COVID-19 outbreak, which led to a Chinese output decline. The value of gold exported from Australia was expected to reach 25.4 billion Australian dollars in 2023.
