Rob McEwen, founder of the major gold mine Goldcorp and CEO of
McEwen Mining, told investors at the Prospectors & Developers Association
of Canada (PDAC) convention on Wednesday that he continues
“to believe we’re going to see higher prices in gold.”
How much higher? Up to $5,000/oz., he suggested in his presentation.
He spoke of the exploding U.S. money supply, stating that
the Federal Reserve has expanded it “dramatically, without precedent.”
He also discussed the national debt, which now stands
above $18 trillion (see this post for visuals of just how huge that number is),
warning “this historically has been a rather dangerous place to have
debt, that amount of debt.”
The goal of taking on more debt and expanding the monetary supply is to
get consumers to spend more, he said. But that goal is not being
achieved:
“All this extra debt, all this money expansion has not produced the
spending that the government’s looking for.
This suggests to me that … there’s going to be more quantitative easing,
there’s going to be higher levels of debt relative to the GDP.
And that in turn leads to inflation.”
He added that a Gauguin painting was recently sold by Sotheby’s for just
under $300 million, while a condo in New York went for $95 million.
He believes this “send[s] a message that money is not valuable anymore.”
McEwen also acknowledged that annual gold production is on the decline and
exploration has been “cut to the bone.”
He sees strength in gold demand, however, and referenced the rumor that
production of the Apple Watch luxury edition containing up to 2 oz. of
gold could use up a third of the world’s annual gold supply.
Regardless of whether McEwen’s forecast becomes reality, why not
buy gold while prices are still low?
