The Acting President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, presented the results of the national mining sector corresponding to the 2025 fiscal year, characterized by a robust growth and the consolidation of an operational base for the ambitious Gold Plan 2026.
During the past year, the national production of gold reached a total of 9.5 tons, supported by favorable dynamics in all sectors.
The public sector registered a remarkable increase of 81%, while the private sector experienced a growth of 34.8%, reflecting an environment of joint and strengthened activity:
“These figures are not only a productive achievement; they consolidate the foundations for the 2026 goals, which will focus on increasing productive capacity through our own efforts and strategic investment,” as remarked the dignitary.
As part of the impulse to the plan, the acting dignitary highlighted the delivery of new high-tech equipment to the Sosa Méndez Mine, located in Bolívar state.
This investment will allow to strengthen underground extraction and optimize performance levels in the present operating cycle.
She highlighted that gold revenue has become a fundamental engine for national development.
The resources generated are directly allocated to the support of the foreign service and financing high-impact social programs:
“This productive boost is aimed at supporting, among other priorities, the international agenda of our athletes in preparation for the upcoming Olympic games”, explained Rodríguez.
She emphasized the social vision of the plan: “It is the gold for the development of our people and the use of our resources in the happiness of the Venezuelan people.”
With this initiative, the National Executive reaffirms its commitment to strengthening productive sovereignty and channeling mining revenues towards the collective well-being.
The 2026 Gold and Mining Expansion Plan represents the National Government’s roadmap to empower this strategic industry, thus ensuring its contribution to economic growth and the financing of priority social programs.
