$PHYS 📈 Core Reasons Gold Is Bullish Right Now (Evidence-Based)
1. Record-High Global Demand
Q1 2026 gold demand hit 1,231 tonnes, worth a record $193B, up 74% YoY. Physical buyers stepped in aggressively during price dips, showing strong underlying demand.

Bar & coin demand rose 42% to 474 tonnes — the second-highest quarterly total ever recorded.

This behavior indicates a durable floor, not a market in distribution.

2. Central Banks Are Still Buying Aggressively
Central banks purchased 244 tonnes in Q1, up 3% YoY.

China and emerging markets are expected to continue diversifying reserves into gold, providing long-term structural support.

Central bank accumulation is one of the strongest multi-year bullish drivers.

3. Geopolitical Tensions Are Elevated
U.S.–Iran tensions, Middle East instability, and energy-route risks continue to boost safe-haven demand.

Geopolitical uncertainty is one of the top drivers of gold demand in 2026.

4. Inflation Pressures Remain Sticky
U.S. inflation hit 3.8%, the highest since May 2023.

Energy costs are up 17.9% YoY, keeping real wages negative.

Sticky inflation historically strengthens gold’s appeal as a store of value.

5. Interest-Rate Uncertainty Favors Gold
Markets have priced out near-term rate cuts due to inflation and oil shocks.

Any shift toward dovish policy — especially with Powell’s term ending May 15 — is bullish fuel for gold.

Even in base-case scenarios, central banks are expected to maintain dovish or neutral stances, keeping yields under pressure.

6. Gold Remains the Premier Safe-Haven Asset
Analysts note that safe-haven demand is the main support for gold in the current environment.

Investors continue reallocating into “real assets” amid global uncertainty.

7. Institutional Forecasts Are Strongly Bullish
Goldman Sachs: End-2026 forecast raised to $5,400/oz.

UBS: Sees potential move toward $6,200/oz in 2026.

J.P. Morgan: Projects $6,300/oz by end-2026.

Reuters poll: Median 2026 forecast at $4,916/oz.

8. Technical Structure Remains Bullish
Key support at $4,600 and breakout zone at $4,800 show strong structural resilience.

Analysts expect sideways-to-bullish movement with limited downside risk.

9. Energy-Driven Inflation Risk Supports Gold
Oil above $100 due to Strait of Hormuz disruptions has reignited inflation fears.

Higher oil ? higher inflation ? stronger gold demand.

10. Macro Calendar Favors Volatility (Bullish Catalyst)
Major events in May — CPI, PPI, NFP, and Powell’s term ending — create high-impact volatility, which historically benefits gold.

🚨 Gold supply is tightening. Central banks are buying aggressively, mining growth is slow, and above-ground stocks are getting absorbed. Physical premiums rising show real pressure in the gold market. $PHYS

$PHYS 🌎 10 Reasons Gold Shortages Are Happening Worldwide
1. Central Banks Are Buying Record Amounts
Many central banks — especially in emerging markets — have been aggressively increasing their gold reserves.
This removes huge volumes from the open market and tightens supply for everyone else.

2. Mining Production Has Plateaued
Global gold mine output has been essentially flat for years.
New large deposits are rare, and existing mines are aging or producing lower-grade ore.

3. High Costs and Long Timelines for New Mines
Opening a new gold mine can take 10–20 years due to:

Environmental regulations

Permitting delays

High capital costs

This makes supply slow to respond to rising demand.

4. Geopolitical Instability in Key Mining Regions
Major gold-producing countries have faced:

Political upheaval

Labor strikes

Resource nationalism

Export restrictions

Any disruption in these regions affects global supply.

5. Strong Investment Demand During Economic Uncertainty
Gold is a classic safe-haven asset.
Periods of:

Inflation

Currency volatility

Recession fears

Geopolitical conflict

…all push investors toward physical gold, tightening availability.

6. Growing Demand for Gold in Technology
Gold is essential in:

Semiconductors

High-end electronics

Medical devices

Aerospace systems

Even though industrial use is smaller than silver’s, it’s still rising steadily.

7. Refinery Bottlenecks
Even when gold is mined, it must be refined before entering the market.
Refineries have faced:

Capacity limits

Labor shortages

Supply chain disruptions

These slowdowns create temporary shortages of deliverable gold.

8. Declining Alluvial and Artisanal Production
Small-scale and river-based gold production has dropped due to:

Environmental crackdowns

Depleted deposits

Stricter regulations

This removes a meaningful portion of global supply.

9. High Demand for Physical Bars and Coins
Retail investors have been buying more physical gold than usual.
When demand spikes, mints and dealers often run out of inventory even if total global supply hasn’t changed.

🏆 Why Many Choose Bullion Over ETFs
For investors who prioritize security, independence, and wealth preservation, physical bullion often wins out. Bars and coins are immune to digital system failures, custodial mismanagement, or paper dilution. While ETFs are convenient for short-term trading, bullion is seen as the ultimate long-term safeguard—a timeless asset you can hold in your hand. $PHYS

$PHYS 🌍 Geopolitics and Gold
Safe-haven asset: Gold is the ultimate hedge during wars, sanctions, and global instability. When geopolitical tensions rise, investors flock to gold as a store of value.

Currency hedge: Gold protects against weakening fiat currencies. In times of political uncertainty, central banks often increase gold reserves to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar.

Strategic importance: Nations like China, Russia, and India have been steadily accumulating gold, signaling its role as a geopolitical tool in diversifying reserves.

🛡️ Safety and Gold
Wealth preservation: Gold has been trusted for thousands of years as a way to preserve wealth across generations.

Inflation protection: Gold historically rises during periods of high inflation, making it a hedge against currency debasement.

Crisis resilience: Unlike paper assets, gold is tangible, universally recognized, and not dependent on financial intermediaries or digital systems.

📉 Demand Shortages and Gold
Central bank buying: Global central banks are purchasing gold at record levels, tightening supply in the bullion market.

Mining constraints: Gold mining faces rising costs, environmental restrictions, and declining ore grades, limiting new supply.

Investment demand: ETFs, bullion coins, and bars continue to see strong inflows, especially during market volatility.

Jewelry and industrial use: Beyond investment, gold demand remains strong in jewelry markets (India, China) and in electronics, adding pressure to limited supply.

📈 Why Gold Bullion Is Bullish
Dual role: Gold is both a monetary asset and a commodity, benefiting from financial stress and consumer demand.

Geopolitical hedge: Rising global tensions make gold attractive as a protective asset.

Supply-demand imbalance: Central bank accumulation and limited mining growth create structural shortages.

Historical resilience: Gold has maintained value across centuries, making it a timeless safe-haven investment.

👉 In short: Gold bullion is bullish because it is the ultimate safe-haven asset, backed by geopolitical demand, central bank accumulation, and supply constraints. It thrives in uncertainty, protects wealth, and benefits from structural shortages in the global market.

China's high demand for silver is driving up prices and causing a supply and demand gap. Silver is used in many applications in China, including solar panels, electronics, and automotive components. In fact, China is the world's leading producer of photovoltaic panels. Demand from solar PV panel manufacturers in China is expected to increase by almost 170% by 2030, which could account for one-fifth of total silver demand. $PHYS

$MONETA EXTENDS GOLD MINERALIZATION ON THE DISCOVERY DEPOSIT AT
GOLDEN HIGHWAY
Toronto, Ontario – April 29, 2021 -

$Moneta Porcupine: One of the Largest Undeveloped Gold Projects in North America.

$Moneta Porcupine Mines Inc. (TSX:ME) (OTC:MPUCF) (XETRA:MOP)
(“Moneta”) is pleased to announce the results from drilling on
the extensions of the Discovery Deposit
outside of the current NI 43-101 resource.

The drill holes were drilled as part of the expanded 2020/2021
winter drill program on the Golden Highway Project, 100 kilometres
(“km”) east of Timmins, Ontario.

Highlights:

Drilling has intersected significant gold mineralization to extend
the NI 43-101 underground gold
resource estimate at Discovery:

• MGH20-165, located up-dip of the current Discovery resource:
o Intersected 13.00 m @ 1.80 grams per tonne “g/t” gold “Au”,
including 3.00 m @ 3.34g/t Au,
including 1.00 m @ 4.05 g/t Au

o Intersected 4.00 m @ 2.70 g/t Au,
including 2.00 m @ 4.25 g/t Au,
including 1.00 m @
5.63 g/t Au

• MGH20-166, located west and up-dip of the current Discovery gold
resource:

o Intersected 7.00 m @ 2.06 g/t Au,
including 1.00 m @ 3.91 g/t Au

• MGH20-167, located west and down plunge of the current Discovery
resource:

o Intersected 20.40 m @ 0.89 g/t Au,
including 0.90 m @ 2.39 g/t Au

• MGH20-171, located 500 m west of the current Discovery resource:

o Intersected 6.50 m @ 1.30 g/t Au,
including 2.70 m @ 2.28 g/t Au,

including 1.00 m @
4.55 g/t Au

“We are pleased to be continuing to intersect new gold mineralization
outside of our current gold resources with our latest drilling,”
commented CEO, Gary O’Connor.

“The drilling has intersected extensions of gold mineralization at
Discovery, located on the northern splay of the Destor Porcupine
Fault Zone, north of the South West underground resource and
Windjammer South open pit deposit.

Significant gold mineralization has been intersected up to 500 m west,
150 m east and up to 100 m below
the current Discovery resource.

$The drill results highlight the opportunity to continue to expand
the underground resources at Discovery.

$The adjacent Discovery and Windjammer North underground
resources currently contain 39,100 ounces gold in the indicated
category and 191,200 ounces of gold in
the inferred category at a 3.0 g/t Au cut-off,
within a total project gold resource endowment
of 3,967,000 ounces gold indicated and
4,399,000 ounces gold inferred.”

The latest assay results are from seven (7) drill holes,
including one hole extension, for a
total of 2,680.0 m of drilling, completed as part of
the current 70,000 m 2020/2021 winter drill program.

The seven
reported holes were targeting extensions of the Discovery resource
that occurs north of the current
Windjammer South and South West resources.

Drilling was focussed on extending the mineralization to
the west and east as well as at depth.


The resource expansion drill program is continuing on the
2
Westaway, 55 Zone, South West, Windjammer South and
new Halfway areas and further results are
pending.

South West Deposit PEA Returns Positive Economics on Both Stand-Alone and Toll Milling Scenarios

This morning, Moneta released a PEA (Exhibits 1-4) for the South West deposit, part of its Golden Highway project in Timmins, Ontario. A conference call will be held tomorrow at 10:30am ET; dial-in: 343.761.2596.

Highlights

• Works as Stand-Alone Mine: The base case models a 1,750tpd processing plant (94% recovery) that will ramp up (over two years) production in the UG mine to ~86Koz pa (by year 5; average 76Koz pa @ 3.9g/t diluted LOM). The initial capex on the 11 year mine is $144M (includes 15% contingency). The average long-hole stoping mining width is projected to be 8m (minimum 3m). The ore will be brought to surface via a ramp that’ll use 30t trucks. Costs are expected to be around $90/t and during the LOM the average AISC is forecasted at US$747/oz. Using a $1,500/oz Au price the PEA returned a NPV5% of $236M and ~30% IRR.

• Works as a Toll Milling Mine: The alternate scenario would be a quick, low capex operation whereby ore is trucked to an existing plant in the area. In this option the company would incur no processing plant and tailings facility costs and permitting would be a breeze. The toll milling options assumed lower recoveries at 92%, removing the cheaper gravity circuit from the plan. The production profile is similar (average 74Koz pa over the 11 year LOM) but operating costs would be higher at $119/t and US$938 AISC. However, with the lower upfront capex at $65M the IRR improves to ~44% (NPV5%: $197M).

• Growing Resource Presents Upside: The PEA used a lower cut-off at 2.6g/t (from 3.0g/t) from the previously stated South West resource. This increased the size of the total indicated and inferred South West resource by 22% to 1.8Moz (from ~1.5Moz). We note, this PEA was based on where the majority of drilling has been so far, the South West deposit and is more than enough to get started. Satellite deposits could offer additional upside in the future.

• Surrounded by Operating Mines/Mills: Toll milling could occur at any of the existing mills in the area including Holt Holloway, Black Fox, Hoyle Pond, Hollinger, Timmins West, and Bell Creek. Kirkland Lake’s (KL-T, Not Rated) and Newmont’s (NEM-N, Not Rated) recent formation of a strategic alliance on exploration in the area also bodes well for the camp and Moneta.

Valuation – Cheap on Existing Resource

Our $0.35/share price target is based on an in-situ multiple (~US$50/oz Au or ~3% of our long-term gold price) on the 1.7Moz Golden Highway resource.

Bottom Line – Build it or Toll It, Either Way Works

The resource growth, stock valuation, and gold price will make the decision in the next year or so if industry players don’t act first. With a desirable location in an existing camp with many underutilized mills the existing resource alone renders Moneta undervalued. We maintain our Buy recommendation and $0.35/share target price.

Goldcorp/Newmont makes headway with plan to give Dome mine a new life
Cecilia Jamasmie | July 4, 2017

Goldcorp/Newmont makes headway with plan to give Dome mine a new life
Porcupine’s Dome started as an open pit and then went underground.
Newmont’s Goldcorp (TSX:NGT) (NYSE:NEM), the world’s number one bullion
miner in terms of output, is moving forward with its Century project,
which aims to extend the life its century-old Dome mine in Ontario.

The Dome mine received a negative sentence in January 2016, when
Goldcorp announced it was closing the operation in the summer due to
weak bullion prices that nearly half the company’s share price over the
previous year.

A few months later, however, the company literally stroke gold as it
found indicated mineral resource of 4.5 million ounces and a gold
inferred mineral resource of 0.9 million ounces (for a total of 5.4
million ounces) at what is now being called the Dome Century Project.

Dome Mine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dome_Mine


GOLDCORP MAY BE ABLE TO BEGIN DEVELOPING THE OPEN-PIT CENTURY PROJECT -

Goldcorp kicked off then a conceptual study to expand the open-pit mine,
which has just completed, and the project is entering its
prefeasibility stage, expected to take about 18 months.

“If we want to be economically viable and continue to contribute to
Timmins, we need projects like this to make that happen (…) this is
just an example of some of the ideas we have to take
PGM (Porcupine Gold Mines) into a second century,”
Marc Lauzier, general manager at PGM-Goldcorp told Timmins Today.

Dome is one of the oldest operating gold mines in North America
and one of the other two assets —
Hoyle Pond and Hollinger open pit —
that are part of the Porcupine operation.

While Dome has been what Goldcorp calls a “prolific” gold producer since
it began production in 1910, reserves are declining fast.
That leaves Porcupine with the Hollinger open pit, set to shut down by
2019, the Hoyle Pond underground operations and the processing
facility, which is fed by all three mines.

The potential large-scale open pit Century mine is expected to be
close to its development stage by the time Dome approaches the end of
its life, Lauzier said.

Despite having sold quite a few mines recently, Goldcorp expects to
produce approximately 2.5 million ounces of gold in 2017 and has set
itself some ambitious targets for the next five years.

The Vancouver-based miner expects gold production to increase 20% to
approximately 3 million ounces, excluding potential production from its
Canadian projects and its NuevaUnión joint venture in Chile.

Beside Moneta Gold Mine property is
Hollinger Gold Mines.
Lord Conrad Black has been the major owner of Hollinger Mines
for many years.
The large Hollinger Mines underground workings butt right up to
Moneta Porcupine Mine border -

Recently Lord Conrad Black was at Gold Show in Vancouver

LBMA colludes with the COMEX – To lockdown the global gold market?

Conclusion

COMEX 100 oz gold futures contracts are deliverable in name only. In terms of COMEX gold futures trading, practically no contracts ever reach delivery. Just a few basis points of a percent. And delivery on the COMEX just means a warrant (receipt) from one of the approved COMEX warehouses changes hands. Getting any gold bar out of the COMEX vaults once you have a warrant is a totally different ballgame. The vast majority of COMEX 100 oz gold futures are never delivered, they are offset (closed out) and cash-settled, or else rolled over. his is essentially the same as unallocated gold in the London market, both are just cash-settled gold derivatives. In fact, 100 oz gold bars are really not common at all. Why then would the LBMA and its bullion banks be even concerned about 100 oz bars that rarely ever get delivered.

So what is exactly going on here? Who is bailing out who? The same bullion banks operate in both markets. Is the LBMA bailing out some of its bullion bank members that have blown up while at the same time propping up the COMEX edifice? If so, with the LBMA just being a trade association with the bullion banks at the helm, where are the 400 oz gold bars coming from? The HSBC or JP Morgan vaults in London? Or that famous gold lender of last resort, the Bank of England?

Or is it just a management of perceptions exercise with no gold bars involved, to try to coax back the spot and futures prices by telegraphing that the gold that is backing the spot price (which is actually unallocated non-existent gold) is now also backing COMEX gold futures. While neither of the two can be delivered, the same non-gold now backs both, so voila, there is no need for any price divergence!

i-Box/i-Message could use some housekeeping.

Not many follow this on the hub but the trading was healthy with 3M traded today.

This sure had a great bounce... in line w/$GOLD.

It's so near... same with the hyper bubble readily apparent in bonds.
