An Overview of the Five Stages of Gold Mining

To a casual observer, mining gold seems simple: find ore, extract it then process it into gold. However, this isn’t the case since mining for gold is a more complex process which occurs in stages. Before the precious metal can be extracted, firms are required to explore the area in order to accurately determine the size of the deposit and how the ore can be extracted and processed responsibly, safely and efficiently. It takes one to two decades before a gold mine is ready to produce raw material which can be refined. Below we look at the first three life-cycle…

The Power of Gold in Comparison to Currencies Over the Decades

The relationship in value between gold and currencies has diminished significantly since the gold standard was abandoned in the early 1970s. During that time, the president of the United States Richard Nixon also barred the exchangeability of the dollar into the precious metal, which brought an end to the Bretton Woods system. The In Gold We Trust Report highlights that in the past four decades, the purchasing power of some of the most popular currencies on the globe has diminished significantly against gold. The global monetary system was severely impacted in the first decade after the gold standard was abandoned.…

Report Suggests That Copper Supply Shortage Looming

Capitalight Research’s maiden monthly publication, titled “Critical Metals for a Sustainable World” and focused on critical metals, suggests that by 2024, the present mine expansion wave will have culminated, with a huge forecasted gap in required mine supply of copper beginning by the second part of this decade. Critical metals are essential to the economy and, in today’s world, central to high-tech sectors. These critical metals include rare earth minerals and other metals such as lithium, gallium and platinum group elements. The publication also anticipates LME cash prices for copper will average at $4.20 a pound this year and $3.96…

New US-to-Europe Rare Earth Minerals Supply Chain Created

Last week, Neo Performance and Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) created a new U.S.-Europe supply chain for rare earth minerals when the first shipment of 20 tons of rare earth carbonate was shipped to Neo’s rare earth separation facility from the latter company’s production White Mesa Mill in Utah. Energy Fuels expects to send out more shipments as it processes more of the monazite sand ore for the uranium and rare earth minerals it contains. The sand ore is mined by Chemours in its Georgia operations. Rare earth elements are crucial elements needed for various advanced technologies…

Largo Declares That Vanadium for Energy Storage Pays Better Than for Steel Production

Largo Resources, a major producer of vanadium, recently stated that the use of vanadium for battery electrolytes was two times as profitable as supplying the metal to be used in the production of steel. The company notes that the market for vanadium, which is suitable for long-duration energy storage, will be a good opportunity. Toward the end of 2020, the company launched Largo Clean Energy, its subsidiary, whose purpose will be to obtain vanadium from Largo Resources’ mining operations in Brazil and utilize it in its vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) product known as VCHARGE±. Largo believes that it can…

Scientists Gain Insight into Why Gold Deposits Occur Around Arsenic

A recent study may have found the reason why gold is usually discovered around arsenic. The study, which involved geochemists from various institutions across the globe, may help explain why miners of the precious metal may be more at risk of arsenic poisoning. The study’s findings were presented at the annual global Goldschmidt Conference, which focuses on geochemistry and other associated sciences. The findings were also published in a report in the “Geochemical Perspectives Letters.” Gold has various applications in chemistry, electronics and jewelry making, as well as in metallurgy. The precious metal also possesses various qualities, including rarity, stability,…
