Gold Mining's Next Chapter: Why Institutions Are Shifting Focus
As China Announces World's Largest Gold Discovery, Institutions Are Quietly Moving Into North American Mining Operations
As gold trades near record levels around $2,700 per ounce, a significant shift is occurring in the investment community. Major institutions aren't just watching gold prices—they're strategically positioning themselves in select mining operations.
The People's Bank of China (PBOC), 2023's largest official sector gold buyer, added 5 tonnes to its reserves in November, bringing holdings to 72.96 million fine troy ounces. This move signals the bank's comfort with current price levels, according to Saxo Bank's Ole Hansen.
Bank of America maintains its bullish outlook despite near-term headwinds. "Right now, gold is just stuck in an environment where we don't have anything tangible to get investors back into the market," notes Michael Widmer, BoA's head of metals research. The bank projects gold prices to average $2,750 in 2025, with potential for $3,000 in the second half.
Key price drivers include:
Central Bank Activity
Bank of America analysts note that central banks remain large holders of government bonds, with a strong incentive to further diversify reserves and add gold.
China's resumed buying after April pause
Continued global central bank accumulation
Growing de-dollarization trends
U.S. Economic Factors
The national debt is projected to reach a new record high as a share of the economy within the next three years, well within the next presidential term.
Record-high national debt projections
Federal Reserve policy expectations
Two anticipated rate cuts (March/June 2025)

Recent safe-haven demand surge
February gold up $19.40 to $2,679.00

As Gold Miners Struggle,
This One Company Is Thriving
Recent years have become increasingly challenging for gold miners, especially the big players, to sustain their production growth.
To make matters worse, the average grade of ore mined has dropped by nearly 40% over the last 15 years, suggesting that high-quality deposits are becoming harder to find.
However, just like the mines themselves, not all miners are created equal...
While the major miners struggle to replenish their reserves, this company is experiencing rapid growth by expanding existing mines and acquiring new ones.
It's not just the volume that makes this company shine - its average ore grade is nearly four times higher than its larger competitors.
[Editor's Note: If this analysis interests you, you'll want to review the detailed mining company profile that follows, which examines one operation that exemplifies these qualities and has attracted significant institutional investment.]
