Gold Digger: How big is that Chinese gold discovery really?
Mining
share
- Chinese media announced a major “50t” gold discovery over the weekend, containing metal worth “US$3 billion”
- In the grand scheme of things it doesn’t appear that big
- Christian joins Gold Digger live from France to unpack the US Fed meeting
Our Gold Digger column wraps all the news driving ASX stocks with exposure to precious metals.
A new Chinese gold discovery has tongues wagging but, as usual, the rumour mill of international mining PR leaves plenty to be desired in specifics.
The Xialaokou mine in Rushan in East China’s Shandong Province came out with a couple big headline numbers, with the China Media Group reporting over the weekend it was the largest discovery in the province this year and largest known deposit in the region at a 50 tonne reserve.
That’s been estimated by other media as containing US$3 billion worth of gold, the sort of reporting that would get an ASX junior a hard spank from ASIC and the ASX for misleading the market.
It’s a reminder that international reporting on mineral resources and production leaves a lot to be desired when compared to Australia and its stringent JORC Code.
Anyone remember that 8.5Mt Iranian lithium deposit? Sounds huge; in reality, not so much.
China is in actuality a major gold producer. Eclipsed briefly by Australia as the world’s top gold miner, China has been the biggest producer since the pandemic, with Australia’s output curbed amid labour shortages, Covid outbreaks and border closures.
But China is a land with many gold mines, not mega gold mines. Its largest single operation, Jiaojia, produced in the order of 10t last year.
That wouldn’t put Jiaojia in the same class as any of Australia’s top five producers, and at 50t, or around 1.6 million troy ounces (whether that is reserves or resources is still unclear), Xilaokou would still pale in comparison to De Grey Mining’s (ASX:DEG) world class Hemi, which boasts an ore reserve of 5.1Moz at 1.5g/t gold from total resources of 8.5Moz.
Even Red 5’s (ASX:RED) brownfields King of the Hills mine has a reserve of 2.4Moz.
Xilaokou, announced as a major discovery by the Shandong Provincial Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, can no doubt get bigger, but it is worth taking bullish announcements by the Global Times and other international media with a grain of salt.
The good thing about gold is it doesn’t come with the same mineral competition as other commodities. The market is so big and diverse that pricing is typically based on investment demand rather than supply dynamics.
The US Fed enters new territory, gold prices come along for the ride
Initially bearish, the price of gold started the overnight session about 3% short with the markets undivided attention on The Fed. That done, prices then kicked on past US$1,960 and appeared headed out the door to the 1 year high of US$1,990 hit just last week.
A dovish Federal Reserve can do that…
Yes, The Fed raised rates by 25basis points to 4.75%-5%, as wholly expected, its 9th hike since March 2022.
But… during the press conference, Fed chair Powell admitted a pause was considered in the lead up to the meeting as markets tottered and banks – big and small – did their falling down thing.
Yet… there was definitely a few indications that The Fed’s interminable hikes could be nearing a terminal velocity
Because.. in post-match comments from the The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) there was enough of a discrepency in the syllabic-perfect language to suggest that now – any future increases aren’t a given.
Jesse Pound over at CNBC saved us all the time and did this for which I for one am very grateful.
Below is Wednesday’s FOMC statement with the document changes in red denoting tweaks to the language since the last statement issued after the Fed’s previous meeting in early February.
Needless to say, the outlook on future rate hike projections will be a big determiner for the length and breadth of the current golden uptrend.
A dour day for gold miners
Yesterday was a rough one for our watchlist of gold producers, with Northern Star (ASX:NST), Evolution Mining (ASX:EVN), St Barbara (ASX:SBM), Gold Road (ASX:GOR) and Regis Resources (ASX:RRL) all among the top gold miners to drop more than 5% as the banking crisis looked to be contained for now.
That came after US treasury secretary Janet Yellen quietly said the Biden Administration would step in to prevent the collapse of small banks like Silicon Valley Bank from leaving depositors out of pocket.
Devastating for gold miners, who do best when the world burns. Safe haven support had previously sent prices to Aussie records in the vicinity of $3000/oz.
In better news Aeris Resources (ASX:AIS) rose over 5% after announcing a new polymetallic sulphide lens had been discovered at its Jaguar mine in WA, raising the prospect of a life extension at the copper, zinc, silver and gold orebody.
