Which US presidential candidate does gold prefer?
Gold loves chaos and should be hitting new highs, especially with inflation coming down and with it, two rate cuts likely before year’s end.
Canadian gold miner Northgate Minerals Corp expects production at its Young-Davidson mine in Northern Ontario to start in late first quarter of 2012.
The company, which has assets in Canada and Australia, expects the mine to produce 84,000-90,000 ounces of gold in 2012 and 134,000-140,000 ounces in 2013.
Northgate forecast the Young-Davidson to produce an average of 180,000 ounces of gold annually over an initial 15-year mine life.
