Gold Output at Top North American Miners Wanes as Global Rivals Gain

Waning output at North America’s top gold producers is helping mining rivals in other regions catch up in the latest global rankings for annual bullion production.

Newmont Corp., Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. and Barrick Mining Corp. had lower gold production in 2025 from the prior year — and all three North American companies expect output to decline further this year. Meanwhile, global peers including China’s Zijin Mining Group Co., Africa-focused AngloGold Ashanti Plc and Uzbekistan’s Navoi Mining & Metallurgical Co. saw production climb, according to the latest financial disclosures.
