Which Countries Produce the Most Gold and Other Expensive Metals?

Precious metals are rare, exceptionally valuable metals that our planet naturally provides. Precious metals include gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. While gold has a reputation for being the quintessential symbol of wealth, status, and exclusivity, platinum and palladium are actually fifteen times more rare than gold. All of these precious metals offer crucial applications beyond jewelry and décor; they are used in nearly every industry, including medicine, dentistry, aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing. In fact, 11% of all gold produced is used in industry. We rely extensively on heavy metals and the countries that produce them.
