With illegal gold mining rapidly spreading across the country, Uganda is losing millions in revenue.
A radical increase in production has taken place in recent years, reports New Vision.
In 1994, the country put out 225 kilograms of the yellow metal and, in 2000, it was up to 7 tonnes.
A majority of the gold is mined in the western district of Buhweju by small-scale miners from high-grade alluvial deposits, although gold can be found throughout the country.
