Amanda Kay reports that gold mines around the world come in all shapes and sizes, but where are the biggest? The Investing News Network took a look at the 10 largest gold mines in the world, based on 2015 production figures from the Thomson Reuters GFMS Gold Mine Economics service. Gold Mine Economics includes comprehensive data on 350 gold projects around the world, and Janette Tourney, senior analyst, mine economics at Thomson Reuters GFMS, took a moment to go over some of the latest data on the world largest gold mines. The mines on the list are scattered all over the world, from Indonesia, to the U.S. to the Dominican Republic.
However, many of the world biggest gold mines are owned at least in part by Barrick Gold, the largest gold-producing company in the world last year:
1. Grasberg Production ... 1.23 million ounces Papua, Indonesia
2. Goldstrike Production ... 1.05 million ounces Nevada, U.S.
3. Cortez Production ... 999,000 ounces Nevada, U.S.
4. Pueblo Viejo Production ... 953,000 ounces Dominican Republic
5. Yanacocha Production ... 918,000 ounces Peru
