Egypt’s revenues from mineral wealth development jumped 131 percent year on year to nearly $446 million in fiscal year 2024/2025, driven by strong growth in gold and silver production. 


Speaking at the Egypt Mining Forum 2025, Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Karim Badawi said, gold and silver output reached 640,000 ounces during the year, a 14 percent increase from the previous period, generating $1.54 billion in sales, up 57 percent annually. 


The gains were attributed to higher production volumes and stronger export performance, according to his statement on Facebook. 


Egypt’s mining sector is undergoing a major transformation under the Vision 2030 agenda, as the government seeks to position the country as a regional hub for mineral exploration while boosting its gross domestic product contribution through sustainable and environmentally responsible practices. 


“Egypt is a nation distinguished by its unparalleled strategic location and expansive infrastructure. Our rich legacy of mineral resources includes gold, copper, silver, zinc, platinum, as well as a diverse range of other precious and base metals,” Badawi said.
