Mine Production Of Gold In The United States, By State

This table presents the quantity of gold produced by mines across various U.S. states, measured in kilograms for the years 2022 and 2023. Tracking gold production at the state level is crucial for understanding regional contributions to the national mining sector, which plays a significant role in the economy through job creation, investment, and export revenues. Additionally, gold production data informs industrial supply chains, as gold is essential in electronics, jewelry, and financial markets, making it a key indicator of both economic health and resource management.

In 2023, total gold production in the United States slightly declined to 170,000 kilograms from 173,000 kilograms in 2022. Nevada remains the leading producer with 124,000 kilograms, although it experienced a modest decrease of about 1,000 kilograms compared to the previous year. Alaska showed a small increase, rising from 22,200 kilograms in 2022 to 22,600 kilograms in 2023, indicating stable or slightly improved output. Production in other states collectively fell from 25,200 kilograms to 23,200 kilograms, reflecting a broader trend of reduced output outside the top two producers. These shifts highlight Nevada’s continued dominance in gold mining, while also signaling minor fluctuations in production that could impact supply and economic factors at both state and national levels.
