City Investors Circle Mining Review 22nd March 2026
An absolutely horrendous week for investors in the mining space, with the price of gold falling a whopping 11% in a week, and silver down 16%.
Mining companies’ shares were clobbered on the market, despite some releasing excellent results, the market was unforgiving and merciless.
This was my worst ever week as an investor, where my stocks were virtually all marked down severely as a result of a falling gold price. Some have fallen 33% in a couple of weeks despite producing gold and complying to their previously announced guidance, and despite the geopolitical events ongoing that would normally benefit the gold price, such as the Iran war.
Gold is, in fact, still UP on a year to date basis, it’s sentiment that has changed, and I wonder what the ctatalyst will be to break the falling price?

I attended the Swiss Mining Conference in Zurich this week, and companies present were putting a brave face on their falling shareprices, but the mood was fairly sombre and a few were even non-attendees.
I met some decent new stories and continue to research both new and existing holdings to make up a by list for when the market turns, which it will do at some point, it always does.
