The perfect storm is brewing in the mining world and hardly anyone’s paying attention.
Gold prices are hovering near all-time highs, while energy costs remain unusually low. For miners, that’s not just good news - it’s record-margin territory.

The stage is set
Prices strong
Costs contained
The door is still open but not for long
