(Source: Company Presentation) So, why not buy Pure Gold here when the stock is just about to transform from gold developer into a cash-flow generating gold producer? Assuming mining goes according to plan, Pure Gold could produce up to 75,000 ounces of gold next year at industry-leading costs below $950/oz. In 2002 when gold was $300 per ounce, MAM recommended to its investors to put 50% of their investment assets into physical gold stored outside the banking system.
This is based on projected mill throughput of just below 750 tonnes per day and an average feed grade of 7 grams per tonne gold.

The unprecedented global stimulus packages released by governments worldwide to shield their economies from the impact of the pandemic boosted gold prices by around 25% so far this year.

all lead to lower oil demand, but natural gas demand is not impacted by these measures. Natural gas demand is, compared to oil demand, quite resilient. The coronavirus pandemic has slashed oil demand and forced shale producers to cut costs to survive, prompting consolidation as companies size up in hopes of cutting operating costs. A Democratic sweep outcome may favor green energy over fossil fuels, whereas a Trump-win scenario may support oil prices to some extent.
