City Investors Circle – Mining Review Sunday Update 21st November 2021
Colonial Coal is surging again after the publication of a positive Canaccord Research report, highlighting the potential of the stock at current coking (steelmaking) coal prices.
Ascot Gold is also climbing, as some in the media speculate they could be the next takeover target. It’s easy to see why they may be a target, but I personally hope they stay as they are, as I feel they have more to offer their shareholders, such as myself.
A higher US dollar sent precious metal and commodities prices lower on Friday, turning a good week into a negative.
What a pity the US dollar rose as gold and silver were on for a positive week before the late dollar rise. Still we have higher inflation figures to help carry the gold price higher, with the current US CPI causing forecasters to price in three interest rate rises in 2022, rather than two as previously calculated.
The second London mining conference since covid started was well attended last week, the first day was as busy as always, the second noticeably less so, with many diehards showing signs of fatigue after two hard days of meetings and networking by mid afternoon.
It was good to connect with old friends and connections after nearly two years, let’s hope the rising UK covid numbers don’t wipe out Mines and Money in December.
