$4,400 Gold Can Fix Almost Any Mining Project Except This | Brien Lundin At $4,400 gold, almost every mining project looks better. Brien Lundin says that may be exactly what makes this market dangerous. Lundin joins Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron to explain why soaring gold prices are reviving previously uneconomic deposits, attracting money back into junior miners and transforming the balance sheets of major gold producers. But high prices can also conceal weak projects, excessive dilution and risks investors may not see until the cycle turns. >> Watch the full interview at Kitco Lundin lays out the one obstacle even $4,400 gold cannot overcome, why explorers are typically the last mining stocks to move and why major producers could now offer three-to-five-times upside with less risk than junior exploration companies. The conversation also covers China’s gold demand, record copper prices, the coming competition for new projects and why Lundin believes today’s copper price could eventually look like a discount. He also explains why gold initially falls whenever Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh sounds hawkish—and why buyers keep stepping back into the market. Lundin is editor of Gold Newsletter and host of the New Orleans Investment Conference. Kitco News will be reporting from this year’s conference, taking place October 28–31.
