In todays episode we have a returning guest who appeared back in Sept 2020 (Ep 98), David Garofalo is an experienced c-suite executive with over 3 decades in the precious metals space and is the former President and CEO of Goldcorp to form the bigest gold mining company in the world. David’s passionate and focused in the creation and growth, of multi-billion dollar sustainable mining businesses, across multiple continents and is the CEO of many companies including Gold Royalty Corp, Marshall Precious Metals Fund, Gold Mining and Aris Gold Corporation. Today we talk about the various companies he is involved in, monetary policy, the inflation cycle and mining equities in general so there’s a lot to cover and unpack. Hope you enjoy the episode and appreciate if you can share this with other professionals you know in the industry and with people outside of mining who want to learn about investing in gold as a safe haven to fiat currencies. KEY TAKEAWAYS Gold is seen as a form of insurance against the debasement of fiat currencies, which have been continuously devalued since the decoupling of the US dollar from the gold standard in the 1970s. The current monetary policy of easing and low interest rates is likely to continue, as central banks are limited in their ability to tighten rates due to high levels of global debt. The gold mining junior sector has faced significant challenges, including a lack of consistent access to capital and a decline in exploration and new discoveries. This has led to a decline in reserves and production levels. Consolidation and mergers and acquisitions are expected to continue in the gold mining industry, as major producers seek to sustain declining production and reserve levels and attract generalist investors. The industry is facing a shortage of talent, with a wave of retirements expected in the coming years. Attracting new talent will be crucial for the industry's future success. BEST MOMENTS "Gold is the one currency you can't print. It's a very finite quantity. We produce very small amounts of it as an industry every year."  "The juniors haven't had access to capital for a long period of time. And they're the ones that do all the heavy lifting in exploration to find new ounces in the ground, new deposits."  "There's been a flow of capital out of the mining equities. In particular, the junior sector was seeing a significant deterioration in valuations over the last year or two."  "Gold is at all-time highs in every other major currency in the world. That's reflective of the fact that monetary policy is not tightening. It's continuing to ease."  "The sector is underinvested in that end of the food chain for too long. And so I do believe there's going to be a wave of capital as the gold price gathers momentum into those earlier stage opportunities out of existential necessity for the sector."  VALUABLE RESOURCES mailto:rob@mining-international.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/ http://www.mining-international.org https://twitter.com/MiningConsult https://www.facebook.com/MiningInternational.org https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC69dGPS29lmakv-D7LWJgQ?guidedhelp_flow=3 rob@mining-international.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/ Rob Tyson is the Founder and Director of Mining International Ltd, a leading global recruitment and headhunting consultancy based in the UK specialising in all areas of mining across the globe from first-world to third-world countries from Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

In this episode, we chat to Krishan Gopaul, Senior Analyst at the World Gold Council who discusses what happened with Gold Demand Trends in Q2 & Q3 for this year and what the Gold Market outlook is for the remainder of 2023. He covers Central Bank and investment demand, gold production with the gold miners and the jewellery market and why you should consider gold as part of your portfolio. KEY TAKEAWAYS Global gold demand declined 2% year on year in Q2 2023 but remained resilient due to central bank buying, healthy investment markets (particularly in China and Turkey), and resilient jewellery demand. Q2 2023 saw record gold mine production, driven by seasonality and ramping up of production in certain jurisdictions such as Ghana and Russia. COVID-related disruptions to mine production have largely subsided. Central bank demand for gold remains strong, with 387 tonnes of net purchases in H1 2023, a record first half in the data series since 2000. Emerging markets like China and Poland were significant buyers. Investment demand for gold was mixed, with outflows from gold ETFs but strong growth in bar and coin demand, particularly in China. Overall, gold investment in Q2 was up 20% year on year. The gold market outlook for the remainder of the year is influenced by factors such as inflation, interest rates, and economic uncertainty. Investment demand is expected to remain relatively stable, while jewelry and fabrication demand may be subdued due to high gold prices and affordability concerns. Central bank demand is expected to continue supporting gold demand. BEST MOMENTS "Gold is a highly liquid asset. And by that, I mean, it has an incredibly large market with a large number of participants. And it means that you can transact very, very easily." - Krishan Gopaul "Gold is no one's liability. So you own the physical gold, it's kept by yourself, you're not relying on a counterparty. So it links to not having a credit risk, for example, you're not worrying about who that counterparty is, their credit worthiness, for example, that gives you that extra security." - Krishan Gopaul "Gold is a relatively scarce material. And therefore, it is proven over time to actually preserve its value very, very well." - Krishan Gopaul "Gold is a very natural asset for central banks to own. And certainly the trend that we've seen since 2010 is very much of accumulation, and they continue to do so at a fair clip." - Krishan Gopaul "Gold is a highly diverse demand base, which gives it its characteristics, allows it to deliver long-term returns, and therefore help improve diversification." - Krishan Gopaul VALUABLE RESOURCES www.goldhub.com Twitter/X: @goldcouncil@krishangopaul mailto:rob@mining-international.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/ http://www.mining-international.org https://twitter.com/MiningConsult https://www.facebook.com/MiningInternational.org https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC69dGPS29lmakv-D7LWJgQ?guidedhelp_flow=3 rob@mining-international.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/ Rob Tyson is the Founder and Director of Mining International Ltd, a leading global recruitment and headhunting consultancy based in the UK specialising in all areas of mining across the globe from first-world to third-world countries from Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia.
