WAVE COUNTING from the GDX/ Major Gold stock index Lows in early March, and mid-August

Looks like gold and gold shares sometimes lead the cycle up, buy you need rising FXE (ie falling USD) to help maintain the cycle.  In an Upcycle, like we are in now, GDX and other gold shares will typically move up faster.  Right now, we also have a likely "slingshot effect" because GDX is undervalued relative to gold.  (But when you look for undervaluation, you need to use a different ratio, of GDX-to-UGL, 2x Gold, because that relationship is more stable over time.)

TOP 5 > Top 10

Kitco ranked the top 10 largest gold mining companies based on their quarterly production figures reported in Q2 2021.

1. Newmont. 1,449 koz. Attributable gold production increased 15% to 1,449 koz in Q2 2021 from the prior year quarter primarily due to higher production from sites that were placed into care and maintenance or experienced reduced operations in response to Covid during 2020, and higher ore grade milled and higher mill throughput at Boddington.

2. Barrick. 1,041 koz. Q2 2021 gold production was lower 9% than a year before, with planned maintenance shutdowns at Nevada Gold Mines’ processing facilities further impacted by a mechanical mill failure at Carlin’s Goldstrike roaster, as well as planned maintenance at Pueblo Viejo.

3. Polyus. 672 koz. Total gold output in Q2 2021 amounted to 672 koz, which is 3% less than 690 koz produced in Q2 2020. The company’s flagship Olimpiada mine produced 270 koz of gold in Q2 2021, a 12% decrease compared to 308.1 thousand ounces produced in Q2 2020. The company said that volumes of ore processed at Olimpiada were down due to scheduled maintenance at Mill-1 and Mill-3. Over the course of the second quarter, Polyus continued to improve the efficiency of BIO complex.

4. AngloGold Ashanti. 613 koz. Production in Q2 2021 decreased by 12% and was adversely impacted by the suspension of underground mining activities at Obuasi following the failure of a sill pillar in May 2021, and the ongoing impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic across its business.

5. Gold Fields. 563 koz. Attributable equivalent gold production (including Asanko) increased by 2% to 563 koz in Q2 2021. The increase was due to the second quarter of 2020 being impacted more severely by Covid-19 related delays.

Barrick ramps up new underground gold mine at Loulo-Gounkoto

Kitco News |

(Kitco News) - Speaking at a media briefing yesterday, Barrick president and chief executive Mark Bristow said that its Loulo-Gounkoto gold mine in Mali was on track to meet its annual production guidance, with its new underground mine at Gounkoto ramping up ...

The Loulo-Gounkoto gold complex is set to remain a major contributor to the Malian economy well into the future as it continues to replace the ore depleted by mining," Bristow noted.

He added, "Loulo-Gounkoto is one of the world's greatest gold mining operations and it continues to confirm its status as a member of the industry's elite Tier One1 club as well as the largest private sector contributor to Mali's GDP."

BARRICK NEWS

Barrick CEO to meet Papua New Guinea premier amid hopes of Porgera restart ...

MELBOURNE, Oct 12 (Reuters) - Barrick Gold Corp Chief Executive Mark Bristow is expected to meet Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape this week, with the hope of speeding up a restart of the country's giant Porgera gold mine, the miner has said.

Bristow is due to arrive in the country on Tuesday and stay until Friday as part of a regular visit, and will meet with the PM and senior government officials, Porgera Joint Venture said in a statement dated Oct.10.

The Porgera mine was placed on care and maintenance in April 2020, after a dispute over benefit sharing terms between the government, local people and Barrick, as part of renewing its mining lease. The standoff was resolved a year later when the PNG government won a majority 51% stake, and joint venture partners Barrick and China's Zijin Mining agreed to halve their stakes, leading Bristow to express hope the mine could restart this year.

Barrick says its Tanzanian gold mines on track to meet their 2021 production targets

GOLD : 19.655 +0.425, +2.2%,  now my second largest position, using options

  • Barrick Set to Achieve 2021 Production Targets GlobeNewswire

    07:01 AM ET

  • Oct. 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:GOLD)(TSX:ABX) ("Barrick" or the "Company") today reported preliminary Q3 sales of 1.07 million ounces of gold and 101 million pounds of copper, as well as preliminary Q3 production of 1.09 million ounces of gold and 100 million pounds of copper. It remains on track to achieve 2021 guidance1, with both the Africa & Middle East and Latin America & Asia Pacific regions continuing to trend to the higher end of their regional gold guidance and North America at the lower end.

    As previously guided, Barrick's Q4 gold production is expected to be the strongest of 2021 following the repair of the mill at Carlin's Goldstrike roaster late in Q3. Consequently, for Nevada Gold Mines (NGM) both Carlin and Cortez are expected to be at the low end of their annual guidance ranges, whereas Phoenix and Long Canyon are expected to be at the top end of their guidance ranges. Furthermore, production at Turquoise Ridge is expected to be below its annual guidance range, although full year production is still expected to be higher than the prior year. Production at Hemlo is also expected to be below its annual guidance range following a slower ramp-up of underground development due to Covid-19 movement restrictions.

    The average market price for gold in Q3 was $1,790 per ounce, while the average market price for copper in Q3 was $4.25 per pound.

Wave 2 Dip, should be followed by a strong W3 up

GDX-etc... update: Ytd: 10d / Last: $31.71 -0.88 / UGL: $0.00 = %

90ca0cdd8b_shrink.jpeg

Looks like a very normal w2 dip, after the October run-up.  I notice that GDX fell 2.70% to close at $31.71, just 1 cent over the Day's low.  But UGL slid just 1.77% to $57.25, after trading as low as $56.51, 3.04% down.  Friday's selling volume in GDX was not heavy.  I will "stay the course".

Barrick Gold on track to hit top end of production targets 

(Kitco News) - Barrick Gold reiterated its outlook that it will hit the top-end of its 2021 guidance forecast as the company reported solid earnings for the third quarter.

Thursday, ahead of the North American equity open, the world's second-largest gold producer reported adjusted net earnings of $419 million or 24 cents per share. The earnings slightly beat consensus estimates. The company's earnings were down more than 42% from last year.

Looking at production numbers, the senior producer said that it produced 1.09 million ounces of gold between July and September. Total production for the year is at 3.23 million ounces. The company also noted that attributable copper production for the quarter was 100 million pounds.

Production was down 5% compared to last year's quarter.

The company reported operating cash flow of $1.05 billion and free cash flow of $481 million for the third quarter.

"More than two years after the merger, we are getting to where we want to be, with the industry's best asset base in the form of six Tier One13 gold mines and a well-balanced portfolio of high-quality growth opportunities," said Barrick President and CEO Mark Bristow, in a statement.

"Barrick is driven by value creation and by any measure, we've been successful so far. But ours is a long-term vision which looks far beyond our major operations' current 10-year business plans and our ceaseless pursuit of new opportunities is continuing to deliver exciting future prospects," he added.

The company also raised its dividend to 9 cents per share and announced that the third tranche of $250 will be paid to shareholders on Dec. 15.

BUBBA and I are now ON THE SAME PAGE...  ( I predicted a w3 up, as w2 was finishing) 

Gold, silver and platinum ready for blastoff   Gold, silver and platinum appear to be on the launching pad, ready to blast off to the upside. All three are pushing through their resistance levels, making a run to the upside a high probability. The pattern should start has become increasingly bullish.

We must remember that nothing in trading is 100%, but all signs point higher. The next major levels to watch are gold $1,835 December futures, silver $25 December Futures and platinum $1,100 January futures. Those levels are resistance that could slow this rally but not stop it.
