As gold prices reach new all-time highs, Metals & Mining Commodity Strategist Amy Gower discusses whether the rally is sustainable.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley. ---- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Amy Gower, Morgan Stanley's Metals & Mining Commodity Strategist. Today I'm going to talk about the steady rise we've had in gold prices in recent months and whether or not this rally can continue. It's Tuesday, April 15th, at 2pm in London.So gold breached $3000/oz for the first time ever on 17th of March this year, and has continued to rise since then; but we would argue it still has room to run. First of all, let's look back at how we got here. So, gold already rallied 25 percent in 2024, which was driven largely by strong central bank demand as well as the start of the US Fed rate cutting cycle, and strong demand for bars and coins as geopolitical risk remained elevated. And arguably, these trends have continued in 2025, with gold up another 22 percent, and now rising tariff uncertainty also contributing. This comes in two ways – first, demand for gold as a safe haven asset against this current macro uncertainty. And second as an inflation hedge. Gold has historically been viewed by investors as a hedge against the impact of inflation. So, with the U.S. tariffs raising inflation risks, gold is seeing additional demand here too. But, of course, the question is: can this gold rally keep going? We think the answer is yes, but would caveat that in big market moves -- like the ones we have seen in recent weeks -- gold can also initially fall alongside other asset classes, as it is often used to provide liquidity. But this is often short-lived and already gold has been rebounding. We would expect this to continue with the price of gold to rise further to around $3500/oz by the third quarter of this year. There are three key drivers behind this projection: First, we see still strong physical demand for gold, both from central banks and from the return of exchange-traded funds or ETFs. Central banks saw what looks like a structural shift in their gold purchases in 2022, which has continued now for three consecutive years. And ETF inflows are returning after four years of outflows, adding a significant amount year-to-date, but still well below their 2020 highs, suggesting there's arguably much more room to go here. Second, macro drivers are also contributing to this gold price outlook. A falling U.S. dollar is usually a tailwind for commodities in general, as it makes them cheaper for non-dollar holders; while a stagflation scenario, where growth expectations are skewed down and inflation risks are skewed up, would also be a set-up where gold would perform well. And third, continued demand for gold as a safe-haven asset amid rising inflation and growth risks is also likely to keep that bar and coin segment well supported. And what would be the bullish risks to this gold outlook? Well, as prices rise, you tend to start ask questions about demand destruction. And this is no different for gold, particularly in the jewelry segment where consumers would go with usually a budget in mind, rather than a quantity of gold. And so demand can be quite price sensitive. Annual jewelry demand is roughly twice the size of that central bank buying and we already saw this fall around 11 percent year-on-year in 2024. So, we would expect a bit of weakness here. But offset by the other factors that I mentioned. So, all in all, a combination of physical buying, macro factors and uncertainty should be driving safe haven demand for gold, keeping prices on a rising trajectory from here. Thanks for listening.

This week, I sit down with Michael Studebaker of Studebaker Metals. ⚒️ - Eleven years ago, Michael started crafting jewelry in his parents' basement with little more than a few rusty tools, a dream, and a lot of ambition. - His journey began after earning a BFA in Metalsmithing and spending several years working in museums in Philadelphia. Through a series of events, Michael found himself back in Pittsburgh, taking on odd jobs while trying to figure out his next move. As a traditionally trained metalsmith, he saw an opportunity to create affordable, hand-forged jewelry. After meeting his partner, Alyssa Catalano, a fashion marketing expert, they combined their talents to build the successful brand that Studebaker Metals is today. - Now, at their new workshop and showroom on Smallman St in the Strip District, Michael, Alyssa, and their team continue to grow the Studebaker name, creating high-quality, hand-forged pieces made from the best materials available.

Mining critical minerals has been called the new gold rush. Nickel, copper and other critical minerals are highly sought after in the drive to manufacture new technologies. And some mining companies want to extract these minerals from the deep sea. The Metals Company, a Vancouver-based mining firm, has spent years promoting the idea that mining in the deep ocean has a relatively low environmental impact. Now they want to sidestep an international regulatory body called the International Seabed Authority. We're joined by Catherine Coumins, Research Coordinator and Asia-Pacific Program Coordinator at MiningWatch Canada.

Interview with Allen Sabet, CEO of Mogotes Metals Inc.Recording date: 1st April 2025Mogotes Metals Inc. is positioning itself as a significant player in copper-gold exploration, with strategic holdings directly adjacent to Filo Mining's Filo del Sol discovery in Argentina's prolific Vicuña District. The Filo del Sol property was recently acquired by BHP-Lundin for C$4.5 billion, highlighting the district's exceptional mineral potential.Led by CEO Allen Sabet, Mogotes has taken a methodical approach to exploration, focusing on comprehensive data collection before drilling. "To mitigate the risk of drilling into nothing, we take a step back and do a full property-wide systematic program," explains Sabet. This approach has allowed the company to identify multiple exploration targets across its Filo Sur Project.The company has invested over $10 million in exploration work, utilizing advanced techniques including MT geophysics, IP surveys, and high-resolution satellite imagery for alteration mapping. These methods have revealed compelling targets with geological signatures similar to neighboring discoveries.Key exploration targets include Meseta, located on the Mogotes-Filo property boundary with rock chip samples showing up to 1.48 g/t gold; Camino, featuring phyllic alteration with copper, molybdenum and arsenic in surface soils; Rincon, a newly identified trend with promising trench results; Cruz del Sur, with magnetic chargeable targets close to surface; and Colorida Zone, showing large conductive anomalies.Mogotes recently optioned additional claims that secure the projection of the Filo del Sol trend, strengthening its strategic position. "We've locked up strategically over the last two years any open ground that was there and now we've closed that with our most recent transaction," Sabet notes.The company plans to begin its first comprehensive drilling program in October 2025, with current work focused on further defining targets through trenching and additional geophysical surveys.With a market capitalization of approximately C$33 million and C$8 million in cash as of February 2025, Mogotes represents a leveraged opportunity for copper exposure. Management and insiders hold 18% of the company's 247.5 million outstanding shares, with institutional investors holding 36%.As global copper demand is projected to double by 2035 while mine supply faces constraints, the Vicuña District offers rare potential for multiple world-class discoveries. Mogotes provides investors access to this promising trend at a fraction of the valuation of its neighbors.View Mogotes Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/mogotes-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Mit ihrem Album "British Steel" haben Judas Priest 1980 nicht nur ein Meisterwerk abgeliefert, sondern auch die "New Wave of British Heavy Metal" deutlich vorangetrieben. Bevor Judas Priest 1980 "British Steel" veröffentlicht haben, war die Geschichte der Band geprägt von musikalischem Wandel, Findungsphasen und einer hohen Fluktuation in der Bandbesetzung. Gegründet haben Judas Priest sich schon Ende der 60er. Zu Beginn war die Gruppe aber noch weit weg von dem Sound, den sie auf British Steel haben sollten. Anfangs waren Judas Priest eher noch eine Heavy Blues Rock Band, die optisch eher nach Hippies ausgesehen haben als nach "Göttern des Heavy Metal", zu denen sie dann später wurden. Aber die Entwicklung der Band war stetig und geschah aus der Band selbst heraus. Dinge wurden ausprobiert, wieder verworfen und neue Sachen wurden ausprobiert – musikalisch und optisch. Wie erwähnt war auch die Besetzung in den Anfangsjahren geprägt von vielen Wechseln. Bis 1980 haben insgesamt 21 unterschiedliche Musiker bei Judas Priest gespielt. Seit "British Steel" gab es in den letzten 45 Jahren von Judas Priest aber deutlich weniger personelles Hin und Her. Das die Band sich bis dahin aber ausprobieren und anpassen konnte, ist vermutlich auch ein Grund, warum die Band seit 45 Jahren so erfolgreich im Heavy Metal Geschäft ist. In den Reihen der Judas-Priest-Fans selbst bewegen sich auch einige prominente Fans. Die deutsche "Queen of Heavy Metal" Doro Pesch zum Beispiel. Sie ist seit den 80ern selbst sehr erfolgreich als Metalsängerin. Sie kennt Judas Priest und Sänger Rob Halford nicht nur persönlich, sondern war mit der Band auch schon auf Tour und hat mit Sänger Rob Halford auch schon einige Songs zusammen aufgenommen. Zum Beispiel auch den Song "Living After Midnight" vom Album "British Steel". Mit "British Steel" waren Rob Halford und Judas Priest die richtige Band zum richtigen Zeitpunkt mit dem richtigen Material. Kein Wunder, dass die Fans den Titel des Songs "Metal Gods" genommen und ihn der Band sozusagen verliehen haben. Mit diesem Album haben Judas Priest 1980 echte Pionierarbeit für den Heavy Metal geleistet. Es gibt nur wenige anderen Alben in der Rock- und Metal-Geschichte, die so einflussreich und wegweisend sind wie "British Steel". __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "British Steel" wird im Podcast gesprochen: (17:39) – "Living After Midnight"(24:10) – "Metal Gods"(28:28) – "Breaking The Law"(41:52) – "United"(47:10) – "The Rage"__________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge: https://1.ard.de/judas-priest-british-steel __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

Interview with Gavin Ferrar, CEO of Central Asia Metals PLCOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/central-asia-metals-lsecaml-plugging-into-profits-and-growth-in-the-base-metals-sector-6334Recording date: 1st April 2025Central Asia Metals PLC (CAML), an AIM-listed base metals producer with operations in Kazakhstan and North Macedonia, has reported strong financial results for 2024. The company generated $214 million in revenue and nearly $102 million in EBITDA, achieving an impressive 47% EBITDA margin that CEO Gavin Ferrar described as "super respectable" for a mining company.CAML ended the year with approximately $68 million in cash after generating just under $66 million in free cash flow. This strong financial position enabled the company to pay a generous full-year dividend of 18 pence per share, representing about 63% of free cash flow—significantly exceeding their stated policy of 30-50%. Ferrar explained this generous distribution as compensation to shareholders for the lack of completed M&A transactions.Despite actively pursuing acquisition opportunities (with 13 NDAs and 6 site visits last year), CAML remains selective in its M&A strategy, focusing on base metals assets that would generate at least $50 million in EBITDA. The company's strong balance sheet provides flexibility for future acquisitions without necessarily requiring shareholder dilution.Operationally, CAML has made significant progress at the Sasa mine in North Macedonia, where its paste backfill plant successfully operated for the full year in 2024, placing 240,000 tons of tailings back underground—approximately one-third of the total produced. The company is also completing a dry stack tailings plant, which will handle another 30-40% of tailings, eliminating the need for additional wet tailings facilities.In Kazakhstan, the Kounrad operation continues to outperform expectations. The Eastern dumps, which according to the original 2012 plan should have ceased production years ago, contributed approximately 27% of the company's copper last year. With production costs of 80 cents per pound against a copper price around $5, the operation maintains impressive margins.CAML has developed significant expertise in its operating regions, with Ferrar strongly defending Kazakhstan as an investment-grade country with increasing Western capital inflows. The company's established presence provides strategic advantages in navigating permitting processes and accessing regional opportunities.Beyond operational efficiency, CAML maintains a strong commitment to ESG initiatives, particularly in community engagement. The company operates its own foundation in Kazakhstan, making targeted investments including a center for disabled children, a facility for victims of domestic violence, and a recently refurbished youth center.As CAML continues to seek transformative M&A opportunities, it remains focused on maximizing returns from existing assets, controlling costs, and maintaining operational efficiency to remain profitable throughout market cycles.View Central Asia Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/central-asia-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Shaun Bunn, Managing Director, Empire MetalsOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/empire-metals-loneee-massive-titanium-exploration-target-with-150-year-supply-potential-5528Recording date: 27th of March 2025Empire Metals has discovered what it claims is the world's largest titanium deposit in Western Australia, with an exploration target of approximately 26-32 billion tons of ore. The company is positioning itself as an emerging player in the global titanium market with this strategic discovery in a tier-one mining jurisdiction.A key advantage of the deposit is its weathered surface cap extending 60-80m deep, representing 4-5 billion tons of easily accessible, friable ore that requires no drilling or blasting. This natural feature significantly reduces potential mining costs as there is no overburden or waste to remove.The company has already achieved early success in metallurgical testing, producing a 92% titanium dioxide product that contains none of the deleterious elements such as uranium, thorium, chromium, or heavy metals that typically plague other titanium sources. This gives Empire's product a significant competitive advantage in the market.Unlike traditional titanium sources that rely on ilmenite processing, Empire's deposit contains titanium dioxide minerals that require approximately half the acid for processing – about one ton of acid per ton of mineral versus two tons for ilmenite. The company aims to produce high-value, pigment-grade titanium dioxide rather than intermediate concentrates.Empire Metals is currently working toward a JORC-compliant mineral resource estimate, focusing initially on a smaller high-grade area of the massive deposit. The company recently completed a drilling program in February 2025 with 84 holes on a 100x100 meter grid, which will be expanded in the coming months.The project benefits from a favorable permitting environment as it's located on private farmland in Western Australia's wheat belt, avoiding native title issues or crown land complications. This location, combined with the strategic importance of titanium for defense and aerospace applications, could enable fast-tracking through the approvals process.With £4.8 million in cash, Empire Metals is well-funded to advance its development plans. The company expects to move toward production relatively quickly by industry standards, with potential revenue generation possibly beginning by 2026.As Managing Director Shaun Bunn summarized: "If you wanted to find the perfect source to go and change and disrupt the industry and be able to produce titanium at a lower cost and a higher quality, this is the ore body that you needed to find."Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/empire-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Tom welcomes Jeff Clark back to the show! Jeff is the Founder of TheGoldAdvisor.com and author of the new book "Paydirt.". Jeff discusses the current state of the mining industry.

This cash influx could lead to increased M&A activity, benefiting juniors and explorers.

Tom Bodrovics welcomes back Professor Vince Lanci, MBA Finance and Publisher of the Goldfix Substack, and all-around nice guy for a discussion into the complexities of gold and silver markets, particularly focusing on shorting positions in ETFs like PSLV and SLV. Lanci explains that these metals are ideal for carry trades due to their indestructible nature, allowing banks to borrow and lease them easily. However, he highlights how increased physical demand, driven by central bank repatriation and tariffs, has strained this system, leading to potential short squeezes. Lanci discusses the differences between gold and silver markets, noting that while gold benefits from central bank backing, silver lacks such support, making it more vulnerable to supply shortages. He connects the rise in lease rates for silver to these market dynamics, suggesting that higher demand and logistical challenges are driving prices upward. Tom also touches on the impact of tariffs, which Lanci believes will further boost precious metal prices by accelerating de-dollarization. Additionally, Lanci addresses the shift in bank reports towards recognizing physical gold demand, particularly from central banks, as a key driver of price movements. Lastly, Lanci notes that financial institutions are increasingly recommending exposure to gold and silver miners, indicating a broader trend of investor interest in these sectors.
