(1) The State Government does not compile gold export data, but the value of gold exports from Western Australia is available from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). Specific questions regarding data collected by the ABS should be directed to that organisation.
(2) No. The ABS reports value, but not volumes therefore the volume of gold exports is not available.
(3) Western Australia received gold royalties totalling:
2015-16 - $239.55 million
2016-17 - $262.87 million
2017-18 - $272.77 million
2018-19 - $291.42 million
