• China’s property market and depressed yuan has domestic investors flocking to gold
  • Price differences between Shanghai spot gold and the West have gone from a decade average of US$6 to more than US$100 of late
  • Top ASX Gold Stories This Week: De Grey Mining, Strickland Metals

Our Gold Digger column wraps all the news driving ASX stocks with exposure to precious metals.

 

China is the world’s biggest consumer of gold since 2013, having averaged the purchase of almost 1,000 tonnes each year.

Domestic market ructions have investors  looking to bullion in even stronger numbers, which has caused record disparities between the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE) and markets in the West  – over US$100 in price difference at times.

To put this in perspective, the average price difference between the East and the West for at least the last decade had been less than US$6.

On Wednesday, an ounce of gold in Shanghai cost US$2,007, a massive 6% higher than the prices in London or New York, according to Bloomberg.

These discrepancies with the gold price between the West and the Orient, Bloomberg says, are being put down to China’s flaccid property market and a falling yuan.

Based on this and despite a week of falls in the spot price, the increasing shift to gold of the Middle Kingdom should keep bullion aloft in the short to medium term too.

Top ASX Stories This Week

DE GREY MINING (ASX:DEG)

At the top of the list this week – understandably so – is the news that DEG has confirmed development plans for what will become one of Australia’s biggest gold mines, Hemi.

The freshly released definite feasibility study (DFS) pegs the development of a 9.5Moz Au resource that will deliver 530,000ozpa over the first decade and 553,000oz across its first five years from a monster 6Moz reserve grading @ 1.5g/t.

Once developed, it will become the third-largest gold mine in Australia behind Newmont’s Boddington and its soon-to-be-owned Cadia project.

On the same day (yesterday) the news of the DFS was released to the market, it has gone to market to raise $300m for development costs, which us here at Stockhead think might be a move by De Grey to shield it from a takeover by, well, take your pick – any mining major would chomp at the bit to get involved.

Although stocking up in the placement was Gold Road Resources (ASX:GOR), the dividend-paying half-owner of the Gruyere gold mine which has maintained a 19.9% stake in De Grey.

While both have similar market caps at around $1.75 billion, it keeps Gold Road’s foot in the door for any M & A activity that may come for the mega gold project.

That grading number might look small, yet it’s the low all-in sustaining costs (AISC) of $1,295 over that 10-year period that’s the real kicker – especially when in Aussie dollars, gold is currently buoyant around the $2,950 mark and shows no signs of abating long term.

Post-tax, Hemi will pay back the project in 1.8 years and contribute a whopping $10.8bn in revenue across the Pilbara and the rest of Australia.

 

 

STRICKLAND METALS (ASX:STK)

Soaring goldie STK has found a new prospect area – Pegasus – after datasets highlighted a ~3km-long undrilled strike zone extending out from its Marwari and Palomino prospects, and reckons it could potentially dwarf its already significant finds at Marwari.

Back at Palomino, Another round of AC drilling at Palomino has extended the mineralised footprint to 700m in strike length, with significant intercepts of 39m @ 6.1g/t Au from 25m, including 7m @ 22.2g/t Au, as well as 5m @ 2.8g/t Au from 59m.

Drill rigs are currently being Tetris’d around to test this new theory.

“An RC rig is now booked to arrive on site in the last week of October. The rig will be focused on drilling at Marwari, while also following up any significant intersections at Pegasus,” STK CEO Andrew Bray says.
