Best Gold

There are many contributing factors to consider when determining the overall value of a gold mining company. The following criteria should be acknowledged before making any investment decisions within the gold mining sector.

Diversification

As a general rule, investors are often warned 'not to put all their eggs in the one basket'. The same rule should apply with gold stocks. It is prudent to spread the risk and select more than one company. Furthermore it is recommended that investors look for a good balance of producers, developers and explorers. The least risky of the three are the gold producers. Investment in developers and explorers is higher risk but potentially higher return.

Gold mining companies themselves typically have a diversified portfolio of land holdings between exploration projects, development projects and production operations.

A diversified portfolio of projects serves many purposes as it hedges against risks such as legal, geopolitical, environmental, market, and grade variations between tenements.Grade is measured in grams per tonne and can vary significantly between location and depth. The higher the grade the better since low grades can render a project economically unviable. For this reason, assets are constantly being re-evaluated.

There have been numerous examples of promising gold companies (with ONE potentially brilliant resource) that have come and gone due to resource downgrades, political and/or environmental factors.

So when considering gold companies as investments, try to avoid banking on one single asset. If the single asset seems compelling enough to attract your attention, attempt to undertake some due diligence on this asset to ensure that there are no strings attached in terms of future viability.

Longevity

Due to the fact that gold producers have revenue generating activities from economically recoverable gold, they need to be measured differently than the explorers. Producers are in a class of their own and should be compared and measured in terms of mine life. This is measured by looking at existing or future production rates against existing reserves. For example, if a particular mine is producing 50,000 ounces of gold per year at full production and it has 500 000 ounces of reserves, it has roughly a 10-year mine life remaining.

Note: This may also be applied to mines under development as usually the feasibility studies have extensive mine-life projections.

Once a producer's resources are depleted, (and if there is nothing else in the pipeline) they are finished. The top gold producers average approximately 7 to 12 years of production and because longevity is an important measure for investors, the producers that are able to boast the longest 'mine life' tend to perform better in the markets. Longevity is an issue faced by all gold mining companies so it is crucial that a company maintains good exploration and/or development programs.

Exploration

Gold being one of the rarest minerals on earth is becoming increasingly difficult to discover sizeable deposits. Gold companies need to be constantly exploring in order to establish new mines and maintain longevity.

Apart from acquisitions, successful exploration is the key to extending a gold producer's longevity and renewing reserves. For explorers, successful exploration is what is required to develop into a producer themselves and/or allow them to profit from asset sales.

Operating mines have expensive infrastructure in place and this makes it easy to exploit the existing deposit and the surrounding area. Processing plants, smelters, refineries and waste facilities are the biggest expenses in constructing a mine.It is quite common that exploration programs reveal that previously discovered deposits extend further out (or down) than originally projected. Alternatively there might be another mineable deposit within close proximity of an existing one. Making use of existing infrastructure is therefore a huge for advantage for any gold producer.

Political

Politics and geopolitics now more than ever have an impact on global commerce. In terms of investment security, this gives countries such as Australia and Canada a huge advantage as they arguably offer the least political and sovereign risk.

Fact is, gold deposits are discovered and mined in all corners of the globe. No matter how attractive the operation seems, it is important to understand that many unpredictable factors may adversely impact a gold mining company. If a project exists within the borders of a country or even a region that is the least bit unstable, the company risk rises dramatically. Therefore in terms of risk you cannot go past Australian Gold Mining Companies (and Canadian Gold Mining Companies) when considering an investment in the gold sector.

Hedging

The common practice of forward selling exists in many commodities markets. This is also referred to as 'hedging' and basically means that a buyer and seller can agree on a fixed price for the commodity that will exchange hands in the future.These forward contracts are designed to hedge future volatility risk so that the supplier can better manage their production and cash flows and so buyers can better manage their expenses and forecasting.

Hedging has become a disadvantage for producers in this gold bull market. This is due to the huge opportunity cost in selling forward future gold production. Forward contracts with average prices below spot gold prices can lead to losses that ultimately penalize shareholders.

Note: There are some circumstances where moderate hedging is acceptable. For example, a company may have moderate hedging as a result of a merger (or acquisition) or a company has minor hedging due to project financing obligations.

Gold producers are often forced to finance debt for the construction of a gold mine. Due to the nature and volatility of commodities markets, banks and financiers lending the money take on a perceivably greater-than-average risk. As a condition of the loan or credit facility, the lender typically requires a percentage of future gold production to be sold forward so they can ensure repayment of the loan. This is another example of an acceptable form of hedging as long as it is a small portion of its annual production and reserves.

Leverage

A strong balance sheet is obviously a less risky proposition compared with a weak balance sheet. The debt-to-equity ratio is a very good indicator of a company's financial leverage in terms of financing its assets.

Manageable leverage is very important for a gold miner to be profitable and even more so for allowing them to capture some of the legendary gains available in a secular bull. Leverage must be carefully and thoroughly examined for gold companies that produce gold and for those that are in the development and construction stages.

Additionally, cash is king in business, and it is crucial to know how much there is and where it is sourced from. Producers have an obvious revenue stream however non-producers invariably require cash to be sourced from equity offerings.

Cost Management

Cost management is crucial in the gold mining industry. As is generally the case in business, the better you manage your expenses the more profitable your business is going to be. In terms of gold production, the lower the cost per ounce of gold produced, the higher the profits will be.

The optimal gold mining stocks to invest in are those with very low cash costs and minimal hedging. Finding these stocks isn't always easy especially when operating costs have been rising in the gold mining industry.

Note: The key difference between a reserve and a resource is economic viability. Simply, if an ounce of gold costs less to produce than what it sells for at market, it can be classified as a reserve ounce. So as the price of gold continues to rise, lower-grade ore (i.e. ore with a lower gold content) becomes profitable to mine. This implies that gold producers may now be willing to fork out higher operational costs which would not have been viable in the past. This strategy promotes the longevity of a mine however it comes at a cost in the form of reduced profits. This is not directly beneficial to the shareholder however for the mining company it ultimately extends the life of a mine and conserves its high-grade reserves.

Final Word

It would be prudent to acknowledge other factors such as the corporate history of a company, past results, environmental problems and the management team. There are various sources for this information such as websites, magazines, books, forums and industry professionals.

Hopefully the information contained within this article has helped in refining your stock selections. There are many decent gold stocks out there but as with any investment, you have to sort through the ordinary to get the extraordinary.

Gold mining stocks offer investors excellent exposure and leverage to gold. For investors and speculators who want to realize truly irresistible gains through individual stock selection, research will reward the diligent.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    What might be the best gold and silver exchange agency if I was to invest in such precious metals.?
    Recently I have been searching to find the best way to invest, which included silver and gold. Still, there are many gold and silver exchanges, excluding the U.S. Bullion Exchange, and I am just curious about any of these others that I have briefly looked at and many that I haven't. If you have any answers please get back to me. If you have any other better suggestions in investing I am also listening.

    • ANSWER:
      Bullion is so last century. Open an online discount brokerage account and buy the exchange-traded funds that track the price of gold and/or silver. The symbols are GLD and SLV, and I believe both are in the StreetTracks family.

      If you really know what you're doing mining stocks are more profitable than raw metals.

  2. QUESTION:
    What are the best Gold Coast theme parks for little kids?
    We are spending a week in Jan 08 on the Gold Coast. Our kids are quite young (1 , 4 and 7) and I wonder if some of the theme parks will be a waste of money as they are aimed at older kids. Has anyone got any suggestions on the best parks for little kids?

    • ANSWER:
      Personally I think Dreamworld has the best little rides for that age group. Next would be Movie World.

      I first took my boy at age 6 there - he had a blast, all his Christmases come at once. There is also swimming pool etc so don't even bother going to Wet 'n Wild.

  3. QUESTION:
    What is the best gold exchanging site?
    With gold reaching 00 per ounce, what can I expect to receive if I sell my gold online, and what is the best site.

    • ANSWER:
      Good question. I have actually spent the last year researching various gold sites and have found that cash for gold pays about 0 per ounce, while other sites pay a little more. The site with the highest payment has consistently been http://www.usgoldrefining.com.

      They pay approximately 0 per once. Good luck with your gold, now probably is the best time to "cash in."

  4. QUESTION:
    What is the best gold investment to make? Coins or bullions?
    I want to buy gold, but I don't want to get ripped off. What is the best quality gold out there?

    • ANSWER:
      Unless your buying 10's of thousands of dollars of gold you're much better off buying coins (American Eagle, Looney, Krugerrand, Panda, etc.)

      Coins can be readily bought and sold in any township or city in the developed world and in many 'developing countries'.

      Prices for the coins are published online and in most national newspapers (NY Times, London Times, USA Today, etc.) and constant updates on the web. You can go to any coin dealer in town and they will give you the quoted price.

      Georgina (?) is correct that coins have various other metals in them. They are added to make the coins stronger. But that fact is moot, because all the coins are priced knowing that there are other elements in them - so it makes no difference.

      Good luck and Hope this Helps

    • ANSWER:
      Well the only way u would really make money from instances is by getting badges and using 10 badges to get a frozen orb which sell's 70-110 gold depending on your server

      .So u gotta aim for the easiest and fastest heroics for example VH,DTK,Gundrak(if u manage to get past first boss).

      The only instance that you can solo and will get u money is ony which is a lvl 60 raid. Ive seen a lot of pally's solo onxiya.When u kill ony u get some gold like 60 and a lot of boe blues which u can sell. the cooldown for onxiya is 2 days unlike other raids which only reset on tuesdays.

      Another option which would benefit u the most is just lvl ur mining sell the ore u get then just farm ore in winter grasp when u max mining

  8. QUESTION:
    What type of gold do you believe compliments an onyx stone best?
    Hi, I would like to know your opinions on what type of gold you believe compliments (or matches) a black onyx stone best - Yellow Gold or White Gold? I am purchasing a "class ring" and am still unsure of whether 14k white or yellow goes looks best with the stone. Thanks for your opinions.

    • ANSWER:
      I am a jeweler and My preference is yellow gold, with white gold people will often say " lovely silver ring", but if the silver look is your style then White Gold is best as it is harder wearing and stronger than silver. Rose gold is also OK.

      Black onyx is complimented by most colors.

      Don't skimp on the gold. Solid is better than a cheaper hollow ring.

      The one with the lowest price.

      Seriously, check out a price comparison site like http://coininferno.com for example. Just scroll down to Gold Eagle (for example) and click on it. It'll list live prices from several coin dealers.

      Gold is an investment, and if you needlessly pay just a few extra percent over, that comes right off the top of your future profit. Personally, I mostly buy from APMEX and Bullion Direct. You can also find good deals on eBay, but only if you use rebates. Let me know if you need help getting rebates setup.

      Almost all the Gold ETFs do exactly the same thing. Invest in Gold at various points of time by taking in investor money.

      Since the price of gold will be same for every trader, it is difficult to choose a best fund manager in this space.

      But GOLDSHARE from UTI seems doing steadily well. SBI's scheme is good,too. And if you wish to profit on arbitrages, Reliance ETF is the best but you need to hold the units for longer time ( till they reach prices of other ETFs).

    Feng shui experts: How best do I make use of gold fish?
    I have a friend who is in constant poverty. She says she has always had a house with a central hallway, where you can see from front door to back. I told her this is bad feng shui and suggested she put a curtain up across either the front or back entry. Do you have any other suggestions?

    Also, I would like to give her a goldfish bowl for a present. I am told that these are good to place by the front door. (My own fish tank is on the east, next to my front door.) I was wondering what is the best position for gold fish ponds/tanks. (My friend's front door is also in the east).

    We are in Australia, southern hemisphere, if that makes a difference to you.

    Thanks for your help.

    • ANSWER:
      well i m not a feng shui expert, infact i nearly know nothing about it but i have a few ideas she could use, depending on how wide her hallway is she could use the shelve walls which are easy to install and remove.... a curtain isn't a bad idea...

      and about the gold fish in my opinion it really wouldn't have any affect on the way the gold fish's tank is placed... just make sure it is big enough though.........

  43. QUESTION:
    How and where do you get the best price for broken gold jewelry?
    I have several broken gold chains, bracelets, dental gold, and mismatched earrings and would like to get cash for the gold. I know I could take it to a pawn broker, but I'm not sure if this is the best way to turn the gold into cash. Any ideas?

    • ANSWER:
      If you choose to sell your gold as scrap, please do not use one of the outfits that advertise on TV--they will not give you the best price because they are marketing their services to the general public and not to in-the-trade individuals who are more knowledgeable.

      Send your gold to a reputable refiner. There are several who offer refining services to the jewelry, dental, etc. industries and that is where you would get the fairest shake for your scrap.

      I've used David H. Fell & Co. in Los Angeles for years. They are a very reputable company with a good history and a well set-up refining service. See the link below.

      If you sold your scrap gold to a jeweler, they would turn around and submit it to just such a refiner. A reputable jeweler would not reuse your gold because he would not be able to determine that it was within the legal variance limits of the karat value it was represented/hallmarked as. He would instead turn it into a refiner either for money or on account to be reimbursed with newly refined gold. Obviously, the price the jeweler would pay you would be less than what he received from the refiner.

  45. QUESTION:
    Where is the best place to buy Gold or Silver bullion bars?
    Where is the best place to buy Gold or Silver bullion bars? On the internet (which site) or from a dealer? Where is the best place to buy precious metals that is certified?

    What are the risks involved in buying precious metals?

    • ANSWER:
      Apmex.com is the best place to buy PMs online. You may be able to do better with a local dealer if you can establish a good relationship. I'm not sure what you mean by "certified" if you mean slabbed by a grading company like PCCGS or NGC it is really not worth it for bullion coins.

      RIsks are just like buying any other commodity; there is likely to be volitility & you may not be comfortable with the price swings if you are only in it for the short-term gains. In the long-term, PMs are in a multi-year bull market & will do very very well for the next 3-5 years or so.

      Also you must consider storage with physical gold & silver. Silver is especially bulky when you are talking 100+ ounces so you must think about a place to safely store your bullion.

      Hope that helps!

    • ANSWER:
      A jeweler can do this. This can be expensive if you try to do it yourself. You have to remove the chrome (my guess) and setup an electroplating tank with the correct gold solution (which you will have to buy) and correct electrodes.
