Kazakhstan is positioned as one of the top 10 gold-producing countries in 2024, as per the latest report from the US Geological Survey (USGS).

Leading the pack are China, Russia (310 metric tons), and Australia (290 metric tons), with China maintaining its top position at 380 metric tons, The Caspian Post reports, citing Kazakh media.
