Ghana gold output could rise 6.25% to 5.1 million ounces in 2025

Ghana’s gold production could increase by around 6.25% to approximately 5.1 million ounces in 2025, up from last year’s record output of 4.8 million ounces, the Chamber of Mines in Africa’s top gold-producing nation said on Friday.

The 2025 forecast published in the chamber’s annual report follows Ghana’s stronger-than-expected performance in 2024, when total gold output rose 19.3%, cementing its position as Africa’s top gold producer, ahead of South Africa and Mali.

High output has been driven by strong production from artisanal mining and the introduction of new large-scale operations, countering a decline at the country’s aging mines.
