Global Gold Output Expected To Rise 5.5% In 2021

PALM BEACH, Fla., June 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- When the word 'Gold" comes up in discussions, it is usually about the metal's current price per ounce and whether is going up… or down. What investors should be looking at is… how much gold is being mined. It's the supply and demand aspect that is sometimes overlooked.  In times like the pandemic, while demand soared so did the price… and some industry insiders also believe that even with increased supply, the price will continue to hold firm if not continue to rise, albeit at a more moderate pace.   A recent article in Reuters reporting that industry insider Metals Focus said that "Gold mines will produce more than ever in 2021. They said: "The world's mines will produce 3,368 tonnes of gold this year, down 4.6% from 2019 and the lowest in 5 years, but high bullion prices will help to push up output by 8.8% to a record 3,664 tonnes in 2021, consultancy Metals Focus said on Wednesday… Demand for gold, meanwhile, will fall 25% this year to about 3,000 tonnes before recovering 17% in 2021, the consultant's head of mine supply, Adam Webb, said in a webinar."  Active stocks in the mining markets this week include Calibre Mining Corp. (OTCQX: CXBMF) (TSX: CXB), GoldMining Inc.  (NYSE: GLDG) (TSX: GOLD), Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (NYSE: SAND) (TSX: SSL), YAMANA GOLD INC. (NYSE: AUY) (TSX: YRI), Kinross Gold Corporation (NYSE: KGC) (TSX: K).

"The coronavirus pandemic forced many mines to close temporarily and curtailed sales of gold jewelry, but it also triggered a rush to buy gold for its perceived safe-haven status. These investors pushed prices above $2,000 an ounce earlier this year, the highest level on record, and Metals Focus said prices are likely to average more than $2,000 in 2021.  It said mining companies' earnings per ounce in the second quarter of 2020 were on average $739 higher than their costs, up from about $350 in mid-2019. Production of gold by artisanal and small-scale (ASM) miners using basic technology will decline slightly this year before increasing 13% to more than 600 tonnes in 2021, the most on record, Metals Focus said."

Darren Hall, President & Chief Executive Officer of Calibre, stated: "We are excited to see some new high-grade zones emerging at Libertad. The district has produced over 1.9 million ounces of gold and we continue to identify opportunities for additional ore sources close to the to the Libertad mill. We are very encouraged by the initial results of our first pass drilling campaign along the Volcán trend where we've confirmed the presence of high-grade gold mineralization in at least two zones along a 1.5 kilometre vein system that to date remains largely unexplored".

"Drilling at Tranca continues to delineate a zone of near surface gold mineralization with good potential for an open pit mineral resource. At the Rosario step-out drilling is testing the potential to extend the current gold resource another 200 metres along strike to the southwest. Currently three rigs are operating at Libertad plus one at the Amalia satellite concession located 35 kilometres away."

"In addition to the drilling programs at our 100% owned properties, our partner Rio Tinto recently commenced its 2021 exploration drilling campaign targeting large porphyry style copper + gold targets as part of Borosi joint venture project in which Calibre is the current operator. Currently we have one drill operating at Borosi and plan to add a second drill within the coming weeks."   CONTINUED….
