All of the data tables shown below can be easily exported into Excel, either by using the button at the bottom right hand of the panel or by selecting the data itself.

Global Summary

As many precious metal production companies are quoted on more than one exchange, to ensure no double counting in the summary, each company is only associated with a single primary exchange (usually the largest and/or one with the highest levels of transparency and disclosure).

The summary is changing all the time as companies start up, merge, get acquired, or get de-listed.

This summary is a snap shot taken in early December 2024:

Summary by Country

The table below shows the number of companies within each stock exchange (using the primary exchange only to avoid double counting) by country, ranked from largest to smallest:

Note (1): Many large companies are quoted on multiple international stock exchanges (usually Toronto, New York, Australia or Johannesburg)

Major Precious Metals Mining Companies

The major mining companies listed are set out below, in more detail. To be classified as a major, a company must have gold production of over 1moz, or silver production of over 20moz in at least one of the last five years.

Note (1): B2Gold does not quite meet these “major” characteristics, but is included as it is very close to meeting them.

Note (2): Most majors are quoted on multiple international stock exchanges (usually Toronto, New York, Australia or Johannesburg). In particular, Barrick Gold and Newmont are both listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange. Notably Barrick and Newmont also have a significant joint venture called Nevada Gold Mines.

Note (3): Production from all joint ventures, like Nevada Gold Mines is split according to ownership share and is not shown as coming from the joint venture entity.

Note (4): Newcrest Mining (acquired by Newmont) and Kirkland Lake Gold (acquired by Agnico-Eagle Mines) were classed as majors, but are no longer trading in 2024, and so are not shown.

Intermediate Precious Metals Mining Companies

Intermediate companies are companies producing precious metals which are not one of the majors (and, by definition, are not juniors).
