Gold bugs have always struck me as paranoid (reports The Financial Times). You have to really believe the sky is falling in order to hoard physical bars in a digital age. So, it’s rather worrying that some investors and central bankers are talking up gold.
The Dutch Central Bank recently argued in an article that if there were to be a major monetary reset, “gold stock can serve as a basis” to rebuild the global monetary system. “Gold bolsters confidence in the stability of the central bank’s balance sheet and creates a sense of security.”
Despite Beijing ramping up plans for new coal-fired electricity plants, they will be outpriced by cheap wind and solar (reports Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in London’s Daily Telegraph).

Saracen Mineral Holdings was the big one this week, attracting $796 million to help pay for a company-changing half-share in the Kalgoorlie Superpit gold mine.
Mincor’s $35 million to accelerate nickel developments and ioneers’s $40 million to expand work on its Rhyolite Ridge lithium and boron project in the US. were two other well-supported deals.
Saracen Mineral Holdings could more than double its annual production within four years courtesy of its Super Pit acquisition, according to chief financial officer Morgan Ball

Speaking at the company’s annual general meeting in Perth yesterday, Mr Ball told shareholders the upside potential of the Super Pit along with organic growth at Saracen’s existing WA assets could deliver annual production of 800,000oz within four to five years.
Paying one-third of your market capitalisation for a gold asset that just about doubles your production makes sense every day of the week (writes Barry FitzGerald on MiningNews).
