The past year was a difficult one overall for the metals, with the main standouts to the upside being a geopolitical risk-driven gain in gold, a China-driven rise in iron ore and a surge in uranium on broadening global support for nuclear power (Figure 1). A jump in global interest rates to near two-decade highs saw recession fears persist all year, and while one still did not actually eru...Read More

This year the post-global health crisis boom was brought to an end by a surge in inflation to forty-year highs, a major rise in global interest rates in an attempt to curb the rising prices and surging geopolitical risk after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. While precious metals held up reasonably well as markets turned to them as a risk hedge, by Q2/22 the higher interest rates put an end t...Read More

The Golden Triangle in northwestern British Columbia has historically been a major site of Canadian gold production, beginning as early as the mid 1800s. There was a wave of production in the 1990s which cooled as the gold price declined, but larger scale production resumed in 2017, and the area has seen surging exploration interest over the past year, given that the region has some of the largest...Read More

Miners have more than their fair share of superstitions. The more you dig into the world of mining lore and myths, the more you realise how hard a job it was. The nasty, smelly bowels of the earth aren't kind to those who choose to grub around down there. Death was everywhere, and most men underground counted themselves lucky to live past 40. If rockfalls or dead air didn't get them, silicosis wou...Read More

There's no stopping the progress of technology. That much is clear when you look at things like how smartphones manage to jam more tech in new models each year. It becomes clear when you see what cars are capable of today compared with even just a decade ago.
