The record rise in gold prices brought super profits not only to investors, but also to mining companies. The world’s largest gold mining exchange-traded fund, the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX), is up more than 155%, significantly outperforming the metal itself<\/a>. However, different strategies are hidden behind the high quotes. Some giants are increasing production, others are losing ground due to political risks.<\/p>\n\n\n

Analysts summed up the results of the year for the largest gold mining corporations. The rating is based on production indicators.<\/p>\n\n\n

Newmont<\/strong> retained world leadership. The American company reported record revenue. In 2025, it launched the Ahafo North project in Ghana and disposed of non-core assets. However, production fell by 14%, and the trend will continue in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n

Canadian took second place Agnico Eagle Mines<\/strong>. The company exceeded the plan, bought O3 Mining and strengthened its position in Canada. Over the next three years, production will remain stable due to rising reserves.<\/p>\n\n\n

Barrick Mining<\/strong> dropped to third place. The reason is a two-year conflict with the authorities of Mali. In January 2025, the company was effectively suspended from working at the Lulo-Gunokoto mine, one of the largest in the world. Only in December the parties agreed to resume. Barrick Mining now faces a new dispute with Newmont over joint ventures in Nevada.<\/p>\n\n\n

Fourth place goes to the Chinese Zijin Mining<\/strong>. The company increased production by 35% due to favorable conditions and the purchase of two mines – in Ghana and Kazakhstan. The Chinese are actively advancing in Central Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Uzbek team closes the top five. NMMC<\/strong>. The state giant is steadily increasing production. Its flagship is the Muruntau deposit, one of the largest in the world with reserves of about 150 million ounces.<\/p>\n\n\n

AngloGold Ashanti<\/strong> issued 3 million ounces for the first time. The company received a full annual contribution from the Egyptian Sukari mine and entered the US market by purchasing assets in Nevada.<\/p>\n\n\n

Russian “Polyus”<\/strong> predicts a decline in production to 2.5-2.6 million ounces. Reason: planned reduction precious metal extraction<\/a> at the Olympics and Western sanctions that interfere with work.<\/p>\n\n\n

Gold Fields from South Africa<\/strong> showed growth thanks to the Chilean project Salares Norte and acquisitions in Australia. Management declares its readiness for new deals.<\/p>\n\n\n

Kinross Gold <\/strong>again surpassed the 2 million ounce mark. Brazil’s Paracatu and Alaska’s Fort Knox added volumes due to richer ore. The company plans major investments in three projects in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Australian comes last in the ranking. Northern Star Resources<\/strong>. KCGM, home to one of the continent’s largest quarries, has fulfilled its plan. The company bought De Gray Mining, expecting to reach 3 million ounces per year. However, the forecast for 2026 had to be lowered due to force majeure at the end of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n

Thus, industry leaders are increasingly diverging in their trajectories. Some are using high prices to expand, while others are struggling with geopolitics and dwindling supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n
