| The gold market is setting up for a perfect storm as the top mining producers’ supply is forecasted to decline right when demand is likely to surge.

| The Market Underestimates The Tremendous Energy Consumption By The Gold Mining Industry |
| While the gold mining industry reports energy as only 15-20% of its total production costs, the total amount consumed by the industry is much higher. The market underestimates the amount of energy consumed by the gold mining industry because of the way it is listed in their financial statements. Thus, it takes a great deal more energy to produce gold than the market realizes.Due to the complex supply chain system that we depend upon, most of the energy that is consumed in the production of gooThursday, January 25, 2018 |

As of my last Seeking Alpha comments on gold on September 15, gold (GLD) had hit my $1,360 target and I was contemplating the possibility of a break above $1,375. I believed at that time the best chance for this was in September/October, because after that we wouldFriday, January 5, 2018 |

| McEwen Mining CEO admits gold market rigging but just shrugs at it |
| McEwen Mining Chairman and CEO Rob McEwen, founder of Goldcorp, told investors in a conference call November 3 that his company is fully aware of the rigging of the gold market but is not trying to do anything about.
Disappointing as this is generally and should be for his company's shareholders particularly, McEwen is far ahead of most other executives of monetary metals mining companies, since at least he can admit the obvious.
