The contributor driven miner and explorer list goes back nearly a decade, but only few of the original contributor picks have been maintained throughout that period.

Gold miners regain their regression trend line

Since the summer of 2018, the HUI gold miners index has been following a regression trend line relative to gold. The emerging trend was first described in September 2019 and confirmed last year.

Freegold Forum

Apr 10, 2021; 

Disambiguation: 

"Freegold" usually stands for a non-managed and non manipulated gold market. Freegold adepts are wary of future trading, since this allows both naked shorts and speculative longs, both of which tend to distort price discovery. The original ideas stem from 'The gold trail' which still can be read on UsaGold. Fofoa (link) follows that line of thought.

'Freegold' also is one of the former South African gold miners which has been consolidated into Anglogold Ashanti.

'Freegold Ventures Ltd' is a Canadian gold explorer, mainly focusing on an Alaskan copper-gold project "Golden Summit".

This short article is addressing active posters of the Freegold Forum.

No thaw for gold and silver mining

Europe and the US thaw up after some severe winter weather. Winter frost continues however for gold and silver miners. Not only has gold retreated $317 or 12.5% from its early August all-time-high, gold miners have been lagging: the HUI miners index slid 27.5% over that same time stretch.

Vancouver Resources Investment Conference (VRIC) 2021

 As foreseen, one more conference that went virtual in 2021. The on-line attendance was largely compensating for this, I am told. The number of YouTube sequences seems somewhat less overwhelming at first sight, however the videos of Cambridge House give a full coverage.

Annus horribilis leaves gold investors wealthier

My best wishes for 2021, a year when the situation only can improve.

As 2020 started there was no indication yet that the corona virus having surged in a Chinese city would turn into a world pandemic. After all there had been several similar outbreaks that never spread over a wide area. Since "this time it's different" is the most often heard false prayer, early warnings were met with disbelief. It would take till late February until it became obvious that northern Italy suffered a new outbreak with the nearby ski resorts turning into a vector for contagion for most of Europe. International tourism was to propagate the virus worldwide from March onward.

Is a turn-around ahead?

The dust around the US presidential elections wasn't settled yet and there was the news on a first vaccine by Pfizer, hitting the market on Nov 9.
