🥈 MID-TIER POWERHOUSES
The veterans and the rising forces 👇
🇿🇦 South Africa — ~5,000 tonnes

🇮🇩 Indonesia — ~3,600 tonnes

🔍 WHY UNMINED GOLD MATTERS
Unmined reserves aren’t theoretical — they’re economic insurance 🛡️
For countries like:
▪️ 🇺🇿 Uzbekistan — ~1,800 tonnes
▪️ 🇲🇱 Mali — ~800 tonnes
Gold underwrites exports, stabilizes currencies, and anchors long-term national power.
⚙️ As mining tech evolves, more of this in-ground wealth becomes accessible — with the potential to reshape global financial influence.
From the high-altitude mines of Colombia 🇨🇴 to the plains of Tanzania 🇹🇿,
the race for yellow metal never stops 🏃♂️💨
