Market Overview
DRC gold production reached ~40 tonnes in 2025 from industrial operations, plus an estimated 20–25 tonnes from artisanal mining now being progressively formalised. Kibali (Barrick / AngloGold Ashanti) alone produces ~750,000 oz/year. Greenfield exploration in Ituri, South Kivu and Maniema is opening multi-million-ounce targets.
Why the DRC matters
- Africa's largest gold mine (Kibali) and one of the world's top 10 producers.
- Two world-class gold belts (Kilo-Moto and Twangiza-Namoya) still underexplored.
- Gold price tailwind: central banks accumulated record reserves in 2024–2025.
- Formalisation programmes opening artisanal supply chains to institutional buyers.
- Lower discovery and operating costs than Australia, North America or West Africa.
