Gold mining in the United States

Gold production in the United States has seen a considerable amount of fluctuation in recent years. An estimated 160 metric tons of gold was produced in U.S. mines in 2024. The U.S. production value of gold amounted to nearly 10 billion U.S. dollars in 2020. The Cortez Operations mine located in Nevada was the leading gold mine in the U.S. based on production as of 2022, with an output of nearly 28 metric tons of gold.

U.S. gold consumption

Gold is a relatively rare metal that has been used for coinage, jewelry, and other applications throughout recorded human history. Meanwhile, the reported consumption of gold in the United States alone amounted to an estimated 200 metric tons in 2024. Gold imported to the U.S. for consumption amounted to some 150 metric tons that same year.
