Happy Friday y’al
It is a concern of mine, that a gold price of $1800 has only translated into a £1.02 share price.
How high does gold have to be, to bring about a re-rating of the share price.
Hi Tibbs
How I wish I had your certainty on what the BBC has to offer . Also the parlous situation that capitalism has had on the working man's life prospects. Almost makes you wish to emigrate to North Korea , Beijing . Venezuela , or Beijing.
But of course their population troubles are entirely due to the fed , global banks , market philosophy and oppression from fraudulent market forces. Oh dear
The very kindest regards (sincerely meant)
Bob
B2Gold's management has postponed its update for its Burkina Faso ready-to-develop project 'Kiaka' several times over the last 18 months.
Comparing the metrics of Centamin's orphaned Burkina Faso project it's clear Batie West would be a smarter development - twice the grades of Kiaka (only .69g/t) and further along in the de-risking of resources.
But Batie's exploitation license expires next month, so either:
1) the Batie project reverts to Burkina Faso - millions of gold ounces lost, again
2) the Batie project finds a willing co-developer
Remember B2Gold needs to diversify country risk given its current troubles in Mali
I hope option 2 is realized before it's once again too late for Centamin shareholders.
Our company directors wouldn't be foolish enough to cost its shareholders hundreds of millions in losses again, would they?

Been dumping before close and back in first thing- missed out on a little, but these cey have burnt me before ! Oct 2020 last time …
It's definitely looking like IT is finally starting for gold miners.
All my gold miners have been quietly rising for a couple of weeks now; I only really noticed it the past couple of days though as the progress picked up speed. Some of the small ones are really starting to fly.
Fingers crossed. Wood touched.

Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris said he is focusing on gold mining in Egypt...
In statements to Al-Sharq, from the city of El Gouna on the Red Sea, Sawiris said that he is currently working on gold mining in Egypt, after Altus, a subsidiary of La Mancha, won five gold prospecting sites, and attributed investment in this sector...
Note: La Mancha owns 35% of Altus

Suggestion is made to open a moving arbitrage link/window as further guidance.
Would be great to see Liberum update their pathetic price target and for the mining analyst to be named.
BOOM!

Claims that Russia is using the high gas price as a political weapon are "drivel", according to President Vladimir Putin. His comments come as there is intense focus on the energy markets. Energy prices in the UK, Europe and Asia have hit record highs in recent weeks triggering inflation concerns. The International Energy Agency says that targets to limit global warming are in very real danger of not being met. Their chief energy economist Tim Gould explains what's going wrong and we get reaction from Simon Harrison, head of strategy at consultancy Mott MacDonald, which advises governments and businesses on how to move to cleaner energy sources. Also in the programme, China's banning of Bitcoin mining has prompted what some have called the great mining migration. Alex De Vries, who runs the Digieconomist blog, explains where the miners are going and how much energy are they consuming. Plus, the BBC's Frey Lindsay reports on what's being called a housing affordability crisis in Australia, where the cost of buying a home has risen sharply relative to what people earn. And our regular commentator Stephanie Hare makes the case for actively using our senses to transform our experience of the world of work.
All this and more discussed with our two guests throughout the show: in Taiwan, Samson Ellis, Taipei bureau chief for Bloomberg News and Takara Small, technology reporter for CBC News in Toronto, Canada

The supply chain's weak link
Business Daily
How disruption in a single port, factory or freight centre can cause global chaos. Ed Butler speaks with Stavros Karamperidis, an expert in maritime economics at the University of Plymouth, and Kent Jones, professor of economics at Babson College in the US. Meanwhile, chief economist at Enodo Economics, Diana Choyleva, explains how China's energy crisis will impact exports and the price we pay for goods, and Professor Marc Busch from Georgetown University explains why he thinks governments should leave big businesses to solve supply issues themselves.

Hi Mr Gnome,
Similar situation in the UK , result of low interest rates encouraging of estate agents, developers & sellers pumping up prices , governments should have capped the amount that a house price can increase by each year!
So if they can't afford houses at the present rates they certainly won't be able to after an interest rate rise.
BBC report
Young Australians can’t afford to buy a home where they grew up. This is because of a confluence of factors, and the "affordability crisis" has only accelerated during the Coronavirus pandemic. We’ll hear from Alison and Susan, both of whom have come to the realisation that it makes more sense to buy elsewhere. Mike Wood of Australian Broker tells the BBC's Frey Lindsay how the housing market has become so inhospitable to first home buyers, while veteran Australian economist Saul Eslake describes how government policy has pivoted from encouraging home ownership to propping up prices. And real estate economist Diaswati Mardiasmo lays out the various government schemes to encourage homeownership, and the risks involved.

After truth-quarter Q3 prelims, Barrick has just reported that it is on course to 'Achieve 2021 production targets'. - Now that's what we want to hear next Tuesday from Centamin - No if's or but's . - I can't remember the last time these words were spoken by Centamin after reporting their truth-quarter results. - It'll be music to the ear if we hear them next week. IMO
we are back baby ! well done to everyone who topped up when others were doubting.
All CEY investors going to get a good return even if you invested £2.25 sure . ZERO DEBT MINING COMPANY, a minor delay in production.
goldgnome - Greetings. Whilst on the Oz subject what rating would you give to Noel Ong, Samso? His promotions - almost daily now - become more frequent. I read them when I have a moment but have yet to launch onto the ASX in a meaningful way.
And do you write on a local forum Down Under?
Good luck with your punting gnome and thank you for your tremendous contribution to this forum.
Hard to argue that inflation has not taken hold. Energy prices up, rents up, housing prices up, like to buy a farm in Oz then think big money, food prices are up,. And on the other side, jobs more insecure, businesses still on government support, logistics slow and high in price, hard to get what you need in manufacturing, and so on.
Tried to open a bank account recently. We are up to 3 weeks now on opening a simple business account. The know your customer stuff is looking daunting...productivty gains?
Uncertainty is on the increase, with Biden teetering, Trump starting to emerge, we have a federal election downunder, and the states are still as united as ever, with "Gollum" almost threatenting to take West Australia out of the Federation. (He might want ot fix the appallling state of the health system in West Oz first, land access is a huge issue for explorers here as well - in fact one friend has just clicked over 2.5 years to NOT get a clearance to do exploration in Western Australia - and the cost of running a Junior Exploration company, with all of the governance requirements, accounts, admin etc now running at over $3,000 per day just to keep the lights on...
When you dont have trust in a business the costs go through the roof. When complaince regualtions are being structured to stop the endless gaming of the system, the costs and delays go through the roof.
good luck all,
we may need it.
Your faithfull correspondent downunder, who is punting on gold!
best

That's Numberwang
Hi Razor
Oh yes, nothing new in linking Centamin with M&A. - I'm suggesting that POG going on a run could well produce some hard evidence of this interest sooner rather than later. - :-)
Regurgitation on your behalf Rebess.
The article is like son’s excuses but it is an interesting account of the mess the world’s financial problems, I cut and paste the entire thing into google translate and hit the speaker icon.
For the Centamin (m&a) comments throughout, please see below.
—————————
“As such the developers with feasibility studies and delineated resources are favoured. We like McEwen Gold or a package of juniors with feasibility studies like Ascot, Bluestone, Orla, or Sabina. Exploration successes, Skeena and K-92 are strong development situations but are in need of feasibility studies. Among the seniors we like Barrick and Agnico on this weakness. We also like B2Gold and believe that Eldorado, Centamin and Lundin Gold will be future participants in the M&A game.”
Centamin plc
Egypt’s largest gold producer Centamin’s main asset is the Sukari Gold Mine. Centamin has $312 million of cash, no debt and 3,100 km2 of exploration ground in Egypt. Barrick recently acquired four exploration licenses for 19 blocks in the Eastern Desert where Centamin’s mine is located Centamin produced 204,000 ounces in the first half and will produce 420,000 ounces or so this year. Centamin recently completed 79,000 m of drilling of which 49,000 m was underground as a prelude to a Phase 2 underground expansion. With reserves of 9.3 million ounces, Centamin has a 12 year mine life before going underground. Centamin has a two-year budget of $10 million and is ahead of Barrick as to knowledge of the area. Centamin earlier rebuffed a takeover proposal because the bid was too low. We believe that Barrick’s entry has vindicated the pioneering ways of Centamin and believe it will likely get another takeover proposal. Buy

Just a thought: - If POG is about to take-off, if there is M&A interest in Centamin, strange happenings may begin to surface. - Watch this space.
