• US gold price bounces back from recent lows
  • Gold is acting like a safe haven again as recession fears intensify: OANDA
  • This week’s ASX standouts: Besra Gold, Havilah Resources

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

 

A recession is looming, they say, and in times of crisis one asset class stands tallest: Gold.

Investors often use gold in their portfolios to help preserve wealth during market corrections, geopolitical drama, or persistent dollar weakness.

All these things are happening right now.

“Gold is acting like a safe haven again as recession fears are triggering massive demand for Treasuries, which is sending both yields and the dollar lower,” OANDA senior analyst Edward Moya says.

Treasury securities are a conservative low risk, low return investment backed by the U.S. government.

Like gold, they are used to hedge against market turbulence.

“The US labour market is showing signs of weakness and that could lead fears that consumer spending will deteriorate much faster than most are expecting,” ​

“The dollar is getting sold against everything and that is great news for gold. ​

“Right now, investors are looking for safety and Treasuries and gold should both outperform in the short-term.”

USD gold price over the past month.

Gold miners bounce back

It was a strong week across the board for our biggest miners and explorers. On Thursday -– when the market was a sea of red -– ASX gold stocks stood tall.

Perseus Mining (ASX:PRU) picked a good week to announce that the plan of arrangement to pick up Canada’s Orca Gold had been approved by the target’s shareholders.

The C$215 million deal includes Orca’s 2.9Moz ‘Block 14’ gold mine in Sudan, which will help boost PRU’s production profile to 500,000ozpa once the project is developed.

Other standout large and mid-caps for the week included De Grey Mining (ASX:DEG) +10%, Regis Resources (ASX:RRL) +12%, Firefinch (ASX:FFX) +16% and St Barbara (ASX:SBM) +11%.

Weekly Small Cap Standouts

BESRA GOLD (ASX:BEZ)

BEZ’s substantial 3.3Moz ‘Bau’ gold project in Malaysia also includes an additional 4.9Moz – 9.3Moz exploration target. Converting a decent portion of that target into resources could turn Bau into a certified monster.

18 holes have now been successfully completed at the ‘Jugan’ prospect with assays for seven holes reported to date and a further 11 holes pending release.

These are anticipated “to be received progressively from the end of this week”, BEZ says.

Drilling has now moved to the 644,000oz ‘Bekajang’ prospect to grow that resource.

HAVILAH RESOURCES (ASX:HAV)

Mid-tier miner Oz Minerals (ASX:OZL) plans to pay HAV up to $405m for the flagship 1.1Mt copper, 3.1Moz gold, and 23,200t cobalt ‘Kalkaroo’ project in South Australia.

Kalkaroo is at pre-feasibility study stage and is potentially one of Australia’s largest undeveloped open pit copper-gold deposits, right next to OZL’s existing operations.

Meanwhile, the companies will form an exploration alliance to hunt for more giant deposits across HAV’s South Australian tenure, paid for by OZL.
