Gold mining in the People's Republic of China has made that country the world's largest gold producer. For the year 2007, gold output rose 12% from 2006 to 276 tonnes (9,700,000 oz; 304 short tons) to become the world's largest for the first time—overtaking South Africa, which produced 272 tonnes (9,600,000 oz; 300 short tons). South Africa had until then been the largest for 101 years straight since 1905. The major reasons for this change in position had been due to South African production falling by 50% in the past decade as production costs there have risen, more stringent safety regulations have been implemented, and existing mines have become depleted.

  • La Chine est depuis 2007 le premier pays producteur d'or du monde, place qu'elle a prise à l'Afrique du Sud. L'extraction du minerai est pour la Chine une industrie fondamentale, qui lui permet notamment d'accroître fortement ses réserves d'or. Cette extraction, concentrée en particulier dans les régions littorales de la Chine de l'Est, est très concentrée entre quelques principales entreprises, alors que des centaines d'autres couvent une très faible partie de la production. Les réserves géologiques prouvées sont assez faibles. (fr)

  • Gold mining in the People's Republic of China has made that country the world's largest gold producer. For the year 2007, gold output rose 12% from 2006 to 276 tonnes (9,700,000 oz; 304 short tons) to become the world's largest for the first time—overtaking South Africa, which produced 272 tonnes (9,600,000 oz; 300 short tons). South Africa had until then been the largest for 101 years straight since 1905. The major reasons for this change in position had been due to South African production falling by 50% in the past decade as production costs there have risen, more stringent safety regulations have been implemented, and existing mines have become depleted. On the other hand, as of 2014 gold output in China had more than doubled since year 2000. In recent years, China's gold mining industry has received increased foreign and domestic investment, and project numbers have increased as more discoveries have been found. China produced nearly 300 tonnes of gold in 2008. It is also the only country in the top three where production rose in 2008. In 2014, production had increased to 450 tonnes and it was expected to reach 490 in 2015. The second-largest producer, Australia, mined 274 tonnes in the same year, followed by Russia with 247 tonnes. South Africa is now in the 6th position with 152 tonnes. Important organizations include (中国黄金协会)[3] and (中国国际矿业集团)[4]. (en)
