The customs value of the exported gold was up 15% from $67.3 million in
2011 to $77.5% last year, which Economy Ministry specialists attribute
to rising prices for the metal. Armenia exports Dore gold bars with
up to 92% gold content. Pure gold is not produced in the republic.

of $77 million versus 1,521 kg for $78.3 million in 2011. Gold is
delivered to the republic in the form of gold wares and raw material
for making them.
