"The Company’s strategy with the Shotgun Gold Project is to attract a partnership with one of the major gold mining companies. TNR Gold has successfully consolidated and updated its mining claims in Alaska and is actively introducing the project to interested parties. Kirill Klip added, “There is a clear path on how to move this project forward using the geological and geophysical research currently available to target drilling to expand the resource and form the basis of a preliminary economic analysis. The next step is to acquire a partner that shares our vision and recognizes the growth potential and value to be added to the Shotgun Project over time.
I would like to thank all our shareholders for your support and on your behalf, I would like to thank our very talented TNR Gold Team that is building The Green Energy Metals Royalty and Gold Company.”
"Welcome to Bitcoin "market" with a price discovery driven by Tether digital printing press instead of FED's FIAT "digital press" and Elon Musk Twitter feed. Do brave FED fighters on blockchain even realise that?"
“I’m a strong believer in personal interest,” stated Mr. Klip. “It’s very encouraging when it’s aligned with that of the shareholders. To that end, I’m pleased that other insiders of the Company have joined me in our recent private placements. While I am the largest individual shareholder of TNR Gold, it’s crucial for me that all of us at the TNR Gold Team are personally motivated to succeed. It’s because of this that shareholders can trust us to advance the Company forward with great passion. Our recent private placement was oversubscribed and we are well-positioned now to develop further our portfolio of strategic assets in gold and Energy rEVolution metals.
(Kitco News) Frustrated gold investors need to look at this specific metric when estimating a major price reversal in gold, according to Goehring & Rozencwajg managing partner Leigh Goehring.
Gold tumbled below $1,700 on Thursday as Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell continued to stress that inflation is not a concern while ignoring questions about rising bond yields.
"High inflation is a very bad state of affairs ... But it is more likely that in the next year, prices will move up but not stay up," Powell said during the Wall Street Journal Jobs Summit.
When responding to a question about bond yields, Powell said: "I would be concerned with the disorder in the financial market or unwanted tightening. It's not about one particular price."
At the time of writing, April Comex gold futures were trading at $1,696.60, down 1.12% on the day. In the last 30 days, gold is down 7.6%, and in the last six months, gold is down more than 12%.
"This is a frustrating period for gold bulls," Goehring told Kitco News. "Every rally gold has, is almost immediately retraced."
Some saw this corrective period coming, he said, pointing to silver's performance as a telling sign for what gold might do. "In a gold bull market, you have periods where silver lags behind gold. Silver lagged from 2016 to 2020. Then from April to July, silver had a massive move up. To us, that signaled that gold had entered a corrective phase. We've been in that phase ever since," Goehring said Thursday.
How to find a bottom in gold?
It is not an easy task trying to pinpoint a trend reversal in gold, but it should happen at some point in the second half of this year, said Goehring. "That is when the second leg of the bull market will start."
The useful metric to look at when determining gold's price trends is the gold-oil ratio, Goehring highlighted. "Over the last several years, gold has been trading expensive relative to oil. Gold will bottom when it becomes less expensive."
Back in early 2000, one ounce of gold bought about eight barrels of oil. "Gold was radically undervalued relative to oil. It is the opposite now. About five months ago, one ounce of gold bought over 50 barrels of oil. That ratio is now down to 26-27," Goehring pointed out.
However, what investors need to watch for is the ratio retreating closer to 15 – meaning one ounce of gold buying 15 barrels of oil. "When that ratio hits 15, the gold market will bottom," said Goehring.
"Back in early 2000, when that gold-oil ratio was really low, gold was uninvestable because all central banks could not sell it fast enough. Now, gold became more popular, but oil has become uninvestable because of climate change. I do think that whenever gold gets cheap relative to oil, gold becomes a great investment," he added.
More specifically, Goehring said when oil reaches $90, for example, and gold drops down to $1,650 an ounce, that would put the ratio at 18:1, a much closer target for a bottom in gold.
Waiting for inflation
According to Goehring, inflation will be the catalyst to get gold back into its bullish mode, who described the current investment environment as "a massive misallocation of capital flows."
What Goehring is referring to is "the obsession with bitcoin" and explosive rallies in stocks the GameStop.
"Those capital flows are all into new things. When you look at manias, they are always around new things. This is not going to last," he said. "Gold is a very old thing. The oldest thing there is, and it is being shunned by capital flows. This will change."
And inflation will be the trigger that undoes these new trends and shifts investors' attention back to gold, Goehring explained. "Variety of economists out there are saying that inflation will not be a problem because we got too much debt. That belief is going to be unraveled by a black swan event that is perceived as being massively inflationary."
The most likely shock to come is a global agricultural crisis, Goehring specified, noting that the grains market is in a huge boom right now.
"If we have any weather disruptions in light of rising demand, then grain prices will go much higher, and it will set off an inflationary problem. This could spill over into other things as well, including copper and oil," Goehring said. "Investors will come back to the gold market in a huge way."
This disruption could come out of nowhere and change the whole global investment landscape, the managing partner warned.
"The world has gotten richer in the last 20 years, and the global grain demand has gone up from 1.5% year-over-year to almost 3%. As people around the world get more wealthy, they want more protein in their diet; this is where grain comes in," Goehring said. "And so far, higher demand has been met with excellent global growing conditions. But the weather is changing, and we could be facing more disruptive weather patterns. Just look at what happened in Texas this year. If we see more extremes like that, it is going to hurt grain supply amid higher demand."
$15K gold
Before the end of the current bull cycle, gold could reach $15,000 an ounce, and that is a conservative estimate, Goehring & Rozencwajg managing partner said.
"We still believe we will see a $15,000 gold price before this gold bull market is over. For patient investors with long-term horizons, we recommend aggressive accumulation of both gold and silver on any price weakness over the coming months," he said. "The relationship that we look at is the amount of money that has been printed and the gold price."
The trigger will be recognition by federal governments of the precarious financial conditions they are in, which will lead to direct monetization. "This direct debt monetization could set off the massive inflationary problem as soon mid-decade."
