Episode notes
Multipolar World Fuels Gold Demand
- Geopolitical fragmentation is driving sustained gold demand beyond investor flows.
- Joe Ovsenek argues a multipolar world reduces appetite for US dollars and boosts gold as a common currency.
Plan Studies Using Conservative Gold Prices
- Use conservative gold assumptions for studies; Ovsenek suggests around $3,000/oz for planning.
- He warns not to overstate long-term prices when building feasibility into project economics.
High-Grade Shapes Improve Mine Economics
- Defining higher-grade domains within a large resource materially improves mine planning.
- Tudor Gold focused on higher cutoffs to identify shapes that can support an underground mine with better economics.
