03 The complete table
| Year | Bauxite produced (t) | Bauxite exported (t) | Gold produced (kg) | Mining taxes (M$) | EITI payments (GNF bn) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Read the table rigorously: three distinct scopes, never added together — (1) bauxite (MMG Yearbook 2023 for 2019-2020, EITI reports for 2021-2023, MMG bulletins for 2024-2025); (2) industrial and semi-industrial gold (artisanal gold is not counted here); (3) mining taxes (bauxite + gold, USD) and EITI payments (reconciliation, GNF). Every row carries its source in the CSV.
04 EITI payments (reconciliation)
EITI reconciliation reports match company and state declarations: the most audited scope, and the only one allowing year-to-year comparison on the same basis.
- 2021: GNF 852.5bn — EITI 2021 (T11 = T12 = T9)
- 2022: GNF 5,781.7bn — EITI 2022 (T81)
- 2023: GNF 5,345.9bn — EITI 2023 (T70)
Missing links: the EITI 2018 and 2019/2020 reports exist but have not yet been extracted to a publishable reliability level — the series therefore starts in 2019 via the MMG Yearbook (production) and in 2021 for EITI payments. Absences are named.
