Episode 93: On the North American gold majors

We're digging into the North American gold producers and talking fourth-quarter, and annual, production results. We'll also take a look at 2018 guidance and what the next few years might hold for the big Canadian and U.S. gold miners. Matt covers the production, and financial, reports for Barrick Gold (TSX: ABX; NYSE: ABX), Newmont Mining (NYSE: NEM), Goldcorp (TSX: G; NYSE:GG), Kinross Gold (TSX: K; NYSE: KGC), and Agnico Eagle Mines (TSX: AEM; NYSE: AEM). Who outperformed, who disappointed, and what do the next five years hold? We also discuss gold price movement relative to the U.S. economy, check out a supply-demand update from the The International Copper Study Group (ICSG), and look at copper, nickel, and lead. Finally, staff writer Richard Quarisa returns with the Mining Minute, which features president and CEO of Golden Arrow Resources (TSXV: GRG; US-OTC: GARWF), Joseph Grosso. (5:40) The company advanced its Chinchillas silver project in Jujuy Province from discovery to development in just five years. It now holds a 25% share of Puna Operations, a joint venture company operated by SSR Mining (TSX: SSRM; NASDAQ: SSRM).
