As the European Central Bank raised its interest rate by 50 basis points on July 21 in line with the U.S. Fed and the Bank of England, the price of gold in the London Bullion Market Association fell to USD 1,700 per ounce. Recession danger is rising as more rate increases are anticipated. Changing consumer and equity market conditions are reflected in declining physical and exchange-traded fund demand for gold. Desert Gold Ventures CEO Jared Scharf explains us his view.

Table of contents:


    In the current rising inflation, what advantage can Desert Gold Ventures offer its investors and what is the distinguishing factors that separate the company from its peers?

    'Traditionally gold has performed as a hedge against inflation but also as a safe haven during times on extreme market volatility and uncertainty like we are in today. Generally speaking, gold equities like Desert Gold are a proxy to the gold price and react exponentially both to the upside and downside.

    If you think we are at or near a bottom in gold now is the time to seriously look at investments in gold equities. Desert Gold’s stands out from its peers due to our regional SMSZ Project 440km2 land package. From an investment perspective we are trading at a deep discount to our peers from a market/oz gold basis.

    Also, if you look at the way we spend our investors dollars, Desert Gold has by far one of the lowest, if not the lowest, discovery cost per oz gold.'
    Jared Scharf, CEO, Desert Gold Ventures Inc.

    Canadian gold exploration company Lahontan Gold is generating optimism. A preliminary economic assessment of its key mining project in Nevada recently assigned the Santa Fe Mine a calculated project value of USD 820 million. This is a multiple of its current market capitalisation, giving the stock considerable upside potential. Goldman Sachs has also surprised the market in recent days with a strong set of financial results. Pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson, meanwhile, raised its outlook despite one minor setback. Three promising companies with positive news are under review.

    Endeavour Mining, Kobo Resources, Fortuna Mining: Opportunities in West Africa

    The recent correction in the gold market has also affected the shares of numerous mining companies. Following a strong rally, profit-taking, fluctuations in precious metal prices and uncertainty over the future direction of interest rates have unsettled investors. However, the long-term outlook remains compelling. Central banks continue to rely on gold as a strategic reserve, while geopolitical tensions and high government debt levels could support demand for the precious metal. At the same time, developing new deposits is becoming increasingly complex and costly. West Africa in particular is therefore coming into focus. The region holds substantial gold resources and offers opportunities for established producers as well as emerging exploration companies.
