''George Cheveley, portfolio manager at Ninety One, a UK-based asset management company, said the combination of the pandemic and the unprecedented reaction of central banks had forced a reassessment of gold.
“There’s been good interest in gold for two to three years and we see it continuing,” he said, adding that gold producers were in their best shape for two decades with high margins and strong balance sheets. “Gold miners look very attractive even after their recent strong run,” said Mr Cheveley.
Shares in Greatland Gold, a gold explorer listed on London’s Aim have climbed 550 per cent this year and the company, which has discovered a large gold deposit in Western Australia that it is developing with Newcrest Gold, is now worth £450m.
“There is a lot of uncertainty and a lot of tension in the world,” said Greatland’s chief executive, Gervaise Heddle. “That’s a very positive environment for the gold.”
