Libya: With a commendable gold holding of 117 metric tons, Libya secures the third spot on the list. Egypt: Holding 80.73 metric tons, Egypt consolidates its position as one of the key players in the African gold market. Morocco: Boasting 22.12 metric tons of gold, Morocco solidifies its status as a noteworthy contender in the African gold scene.
Tanzania is the 5th largest gold producer in Africa, after Burkina Faso, Mali, Ghana and South Africa (Basov, 2020), and produced an estimated 48 tonnes of gold in 2019 (World Gold Council, 2020). This is largely due to a variety of world-class gold deposits towards the NW of Tanzania, in the Lake Victoria Goldfields (see Henckel et …
The world-class Bulyanhulu gold deposit (375 t Au) is in the Sukumaland greenstone belt, Northwestern Tanzania. The main mineralised quartz vein structure, termed Reef one, occurs at the contact of felsic metavolcanic rocks on the hanging wall and mafic metavolcanic rocks on the footwall. Reef one is dominated by massive quartz together …
Gold mining is a global business with operations on every continent, except Antarctica, and gold is extracted from mines of widely varying types and scale. At a country level, China was the largest producer in the world in 2023 and accounted for around 10 per cent of total global production.
