Gold breaks $2900 per ounce

Gold has surged to a new all-time high, breaking through $2,911.72 per ounce on a thick mix of domestic and foreign uncertainty, inflation concerns, and a shifting macroeconomic landscape. While bullion has historically served as a safe-haven asset, the latest rally is not merely a reaction to market turbulence, but instead to a confluence of economic and financial factors that reinforce its role in global portfolios.

    World Copper CEO Gord Neal needs partners to advance Zonia Copper project, Arizona

    “The next phase of getting (Zonia) into production is a bankable feasibility study so you can fund it. A bankable feasibility study is going to cost $5 million to $7 million, and we don’t have that right now,” Neal said.

    “The plan is to get it there, but we’re going to need partners to help us get it there. So that’s why (we’re doing) the strategic review, and it looks like we’ll have an announcement in the next few weeks on one of these opportunities.”

    Will gold reserves replace dollar?

    The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is not increasing the reserves of gold to replace any international currency, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Monday clarified in the Lok Sabha.

    “Gold is also kept in the Reserve Bank and gold is also being bought by the Reserve Bank. But beyond that, as regards an international currency or potential currency, there is not much for me to comment at this stage,” FM Nirmala Sitharman said.

    “I think it is very typical of India, particularly for households of small businesses and, it is normally said, women, but general households also, and women also, to invest in gold because they think it’s far more secure and far more liquid” FM Nirmala Sitharaman said.

    “The idea that the BRICS Countries are trying to move away from the Dollar, while we stand by and watch, is OVER,” Trump posted on Truth Social after assuming power as the President of the US.

    Poland copper mining tax to end in 2026

    Poland’s copper mining tax will fall from next year under a new system that will provide deductions related to investment spending, Polish finance minister Andrzej Domanski said on Friday.

    The tax on mineral extraction, including copper, was introduced in 2012. Poland’s biggest copper miner KGHM paid 3.87 billion zlotys in tax in 2024, according to its annual report.

    “By taking care of investments in Poland, by taking care of the development of KGHM, we also take care of the collective security of the West and the European Union.”
