mining new ore<\/a>, but also processing of accumulated raw materials.<\/p>\n\n\nThe strong rally in gold prices through 2025 has created a so-called \u201cwindow of opportunity\u201d for companies. This prompted subsoil users to more actively involve reserves of concentrates and profitable raw materials in processing, including those previously considered \u201coff-balance sheet\u201d. A significant part of the production, deliberately accumulated throughout the year in anticipation of peak prices, was sold in December.<\/p>\n\n\n
The statistics were also influenced by increased recycling, which always increases when purchasing prices rise. Thus, the December dynamics are largely related to the pricing environment, logistics and sales cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n
Despite experts’ reservations, the overall increase in gold production by 11.8% for the year is a positive signal for the industry. It reflects both the market reaction to favorable prices and real production growth, which is estimated to be around 10% for 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n
