Official exports: 27.96 t / ~USD 1.6bn in 2024; 14.7 t / USD 1.536bn in 2025; gold is over 58% of export value. About 88% went to the UAE in Q1 2025 before the UAE suspension.

数据: 2024: 27.96 t / USD 1.59bn (SMRC; CBOS figure 22.92 t / USD 1.57bn); 2025: 14.7 t

Declared production: 64.36 t in 2024 (artisanal 53.71 t / 83%; tailings 4.95 t; industrial 5.70 t); 53 t in the first nine months of 2025 in government-held areas; about 70 t for 2025 per exporters. RSF areas add perhaps 10 t (UN Panel estimate for 2024).

数据: 2024: 64.36 t; 2025 (9m): 53 t

[conflict] Sharing of the artisanal royalty: the Traditional Gold Mining Regulation 2016 art.8 gives 50% to the national government and 50% to the producing state; MoF Decision 90/2021 gives the producing state and the locality 20% each of "traditional mining revenues" (federal column illegible). The later decision is presumably applied in practice [inferred].

[conflict] Border declaration: the r1 model applied s.36 of the 2009 AML text (money, bearer instruments, metals and valuable gems). The 2014 Act in force (s.31) covers currency and bearer negotiable instruments only; traveller gold is governed by the Currency Dealing Regulation 2013 (ten ounces of worked gold) and the Customs Disclosure Regulation 2015 (not held).

[conflict] Traditional mining contract fees: the MMDA 2015 Schedule sets issue at SDG 7,000 (plus 3,000 application, 40,000 regularisation, 15,000 new contract); the Traditional Gold Mining Regulation 2016 Schedule sets a licence of SDG 3,000 and contract fees from 7,000 (well) to 250,000 (large pit). The Minister may amend Act fees with the Finance Minister's approval (s.20(3)); no amending decision was found.

[conflict] Concession royalty rate: the 2016 Exploitation Regulation (art.15) leaves the rate to the Minister by mineral and location and no gold decision was found, while secondary sources give 5-7% (USGS 2019) or "28.5% as royalties" (Sudan Transparency 2024). The model shows the USGS rate at secondary level.

[conflict] Press dated the single-buyer directive 16 Sep 2025 and reported 100% advance payment, a 21-day deposit and local refining for concession exports; Circular 14/2025 is dated 14 Sep 2025, covers only free and tailings gold and leaves concession and small-mining gold to Circular 2/2025, which allows advance payment or confirmed L/C and says nothing on refining.

[conflict] Press (Actum, June 2026) described "June 2026" measures under which CBOS buys 100% of tailings output; the rule is Circular 11/2026 of 13 May 2026 (item 2), and it was cancelled by Circular 18/2026 on 21 Sep 2026.

About 60% of production from SAF-held Northern, River Nile and Red Sea states goes informally to Egypt (100-280 kg a day reported), paid in Egyptian pounds and converted via the Bankak app, while official exports to Egypt were USD 16m (1%) in 2024. Driven by price gaps (Oct 2024: 21-carat USD 85/g in Egypt vs USD 55-60/g in Sudan).

数据: >60 t to Egypt since April 2023 (estimate)

The legal channel changed repeatedly: 21 Jan 2025 Circulars 2/2025 and 3/2025 (private exports of free and tailings gold); 14 Sep 2025 Circular 14/2025 (CBOS sole buyer and exporter, after Cabinet Decision 132/2025); 5 Nov 2025 Circular 17/2025 (reopening, 10 kg minimum); 13 May 2026 Circulars 11-13/2026 (1 kg minimum, CBOS daily price, 100% CBOS purchase of tailings gold, freer use of proceeds); 21 Sep 2026 Circular 18/2026 (tailings gold may again be sold to exporters and exported). Smuggling historically rises whenever the official price falls below neighbouring markets (press).

RSF-area gold (Jebel Amer, Darfur, West Kordofan) leaves via Chad, the Central African Republic, Libya and South Sudan (Raja - Entebbe) to the UAE; RSF looted about 1.3 t of unrefined gold from the Sudan Gold Refinery in May 2023.

Most gold leaves outside the official channel: SMRC's director put 2024 smuggling at about 48%; exporters estimate 48-60%; 2025 official exports were 14.7 t against ~70 t produced. Pre-war estimates were 50-80% (Sudan Democracy First Group: 95-100 t produced a year, no more than 30 t reaching the treasury).

数据: 48-60% (2024-2025)

Both sides use state and military companies: the UK designated three state-owned miners (Omdurman Mining, Ariab, Sudamin) in July 2026 for financing the war; pre-war, senior officials used the Khartoum airport VIP lounge to fly gold out.
