One of the most vexing conundrums investors have had to contend with over the past 12-18 months has been the performance of gold miners relative to the yellow metal itself. Yes, gold has acted more as a risk asset than safe haven in 2012, but until recently, it has been fair to say that gold has been in an unprecedented bull market for the better part of a decade, or longer.
Even with the recent weakness, the iShares Gold Trust (IAU) is still up about 6% in the past year. That adds to the confusion regarding the performance of gold mining stocks and ETFs. Take the example of the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX).
With $8.23 billion in assets under management, GDX tracks large-cap gold miners such as Barrick Gold (ABX) and Goldcorp (GG). Home to 33 stocks, GDX came to market almost six years ago. Nothing has been golden about this ETF over the past year. In that time, GDX is down more than 26%. Over the past six months, the loss widens to 31%. In recent weeks, things have gotten worse as GDX has tumbled 9.3%.
Earlier this year as GDX and rival mining ETFs were faltering, some analysts and traders speculated that capitulation was near, meaning that the bears had finally had enough and the selling pressure would soon abate. For GDX, that was more than 10% ago.
GDX has touched new 52-week lows in the past two trading sessions and now the ETF is found just 5% above its $40 debut price. Put another way if you had held GDX, a high beta fund if ever there was one, for six years, you'd be up 5%. In the past five years, IAU has surged almost 130%.
Making the case of the miners even more curious is that neither the companies nor the analysts that track them seem to be able to offer up any legitimate reason for why these stocks have lagged gold so dramatically over the past few years. Sure, the price of mining gold has increased, but that should be covered by higher prices for the commodity itself.
Perhaps the best thing that can be said of gold miners at this point is that there have been other periods in history where the group has lagged gold futures. Then the situation reverse and the miners outperformed the bullion. Encouraging for the bulls to be sure, but without a crystal ball, no one knows exactly when miners will get its act together. And that might just mean the best mining security to own at this point is the ultra-risky Direxion Daily Gold Miners 3X Bear Shares (DUST).

On January 21, 2011, the Acting of the OTS, in cooperation with the FDIC, seized the Bank and appointed the FDIC receiver based on three alleged grounds: (i) the Bank was undercapitalized and failed to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan ("CRP") within the time prescribed by statute; (ii) the Bank was likely to be unable to pay its obligations or meet its depositors' demands in the normal course of business; and, (iii) the Bank was in an unsafe or unsound condition to transact business. The Company alleges in the Complaint that none of these grounds existed at the time of the seizure.

Australia’s Copper and Mining Hopes Expected to be Staggered

Repercussions of Europe’s economic woes and renewed worries about the strength of US recovery are rippling Down Under as Australia’s central bank cuts back the nation’s growth and inflation projections. Still, the Reserve Bank of Australia expects the mining industry to remain robust. The question, however, is how Australia’s mining giants will be able to balance investing in major projects, especially in copper mines, whilst ensuring lucrative returns for investors.
According to the Reserve Bank of Australia’s latest quarterly statement on monetary policy, which was released last week, there is an “ongoing boom in mining investment,” and “[t]his strength is anticipated to provide some stimulus to a number of other sectors and in regions where the mining investment is most concentrated.” So even as the central bank cut back its GDP projection to 3.0 percent this year and next, it noted that “the mining sector remains exceptionally strong, with work progressing on the very large pipeline of committed projects and capital imports rising.”
Certainly, the government has acknowledged the pivotal role that major mining groups, including BHP Billiton (ASX:BHP) and Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO), play in lining its coffers, with 450 billion Australian dollars’ worth of resource investment in the pipeline. Mining and energy companies are expected to invest a record 120 billion Australian dollars in the upcoming fiscal year, according to the government. Indeed, Australia’s treasurer, Wayne Swan, made clear this week in unveiling the latest national budget that the government will do its part to ensure that the mining sector remains robust, as profitable companies have been given a lower tax rate through deductions on capital spending.
Yet there are concerns that Prime Minister Julia Gillard is putting too much at stake on the future growth of the mining sector, which may actually be more cautious about investing heavily moving forward.
Australia is facing a “credit bubble built on a commodity bull market based on a much bigger Chinese credit bubble,” according to Albert Edwards, a strategist with Societe Generale. “Of all the bubbles I have seen over the last 30 years in this industry, this one is even more obvious,” he said.
Mining giants themselves are also more wary about balancing their large-scale ambitions with meeting the financial needs of shareholders.
Earlier this month, both Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton suggested that they are reconsidering investment plans in an effort to lower risks amid rising costs and uncertain demand. Greater pressure from governments, particularly in developing countries, to tax mining companies as resource nationalism rises worldwide is also a concern.
“Each of you in this room want more money back. You want buybacks, you want dividends, you want special dividends. You don’t want us spending as much money….[w]e recognize that. We respect that,” Rio Tinto’s CEO, Tom Albanese, said at an investors’ conference in Sydney last week. Nevertheless, Albanese continued to stress the need for pumping money into projects such as the Oyu Tolgoi copper mine in Mongolia.
“The next five years is going to be a supply story; the last five years has been a demand story. I am not sure the economic forecasters have cottoned on to that observation yet,” Albanese said.
Meanwhile, according to the Financial Times, BHP’s head of aluminum, nickel, and corporate development, Alberto Calderon, said that the company will be staggering its expenditure in order to match its cash flows – which could slow down the development of mega-projects, including its Olympic Dam copper-uranium project – so as to maximize value, reduce risk, and balance short- as well as longer-term returns.
The Olympic Dam project has been slated to be taken to the board for approval this year, but BHP has stated that is will “live within its means.” Still, it is unlikely that the Olympic Dam project will remain a priority for BHP Billiton as it reportedly paid ten million Australian dollars for a package of tenements from Minotaur Exploration (ASX:MEP) this month in order to protect future exploration potential near the site. Analysts estimate that the company is looking for exploration licenses covering over 10,000 square kilometers around the Southern Australian project, which could cost about $30 billion.
Together, Rio Tinto and BHP are expected to account for about one-third of overall capital investment in the mining sector worldwide this year.
Granted, the Reserve Bank of Australia too identified a number of risks for the mining giants in the coming months, among them bad weather and disgruntled workers, which are all-too-common hurdles that mining groups both large and small are forced to confront regularly regardless of where they operate. In addition, the central bank acknowledged that Australia’s mining giants are being hit by a strengthening Australian dollar, which makes their products more expensive and thus less competitive in international markets. Sluggishness in consumer spending at home will also keep internal demand at bay.
The continued slide in copper prices may also keep major mining groups from investing aggressively in the red metal, especially as Europe’s economic outlook remains fragile and China has downgraded its growth projections for the year. Indeed, Citigroup expects worldwide spending in the overall mining sector to increase by only 13 percent in 2012.
With about ten percent of its GDP dependent on the mining sector, how Australian companies balance shareholders’ needs for greater returns with investing in ever-larger projects at home and overseas will be closely monitored by investors and government officials alike.

i was wondering myself if they were going to use the fairhills $$
its such a crappy deal
but i understand in this lending enviornment
now lets hope they drill
drill
and drill
that should take care of this PPS issue once and for all
but tracy told a few here on ihub what was to be expected
you never know
lets hope we all are happy campers very soon here
ok so lets play around here
if fairhills is paying .16 for their shares at a discount of .22
is there some plan to get the PPS up or
does fairlhills immediately start to unload shares after they get hold of them
well guys
your thoughts
lol
one thing i am certain about and that's
the fact that the $$ is going to be used to ztem and drilling
and im told that will make the pps go up
ok rushing around here in the office
thank you
hawk
will look
how did you come up with that 2.9 million number i think its wrong
this is good dilution
not the typical penny stock nonsense
where more shares are issued to pay a salary or just pay a CEO
this is suppsed to be dilution for drilling
lets see
FINALLY
that must be approximately quickly $$$ ??? for drilling???
is that correct guys?
YEA
FINALLY
COME LETS GET THE BALL ROLLING
FINALLY
YEA
ky you really need to take a step back and accept what the epa does
your ranting today brought my opinion of you to a lower level
stick to the important stuff
the state of alaska said they will fight the epa on the matter
lets see what they come up with
those challenges make me believe that the state will allow the mining
amigo mentions that liberty land is in a sweet spot in alaska
that is awesome
give me some of those great informative posts
the ones with good quality thought provoking information
thanks
hawk
have a great evening
xoxoxo
the state is trying to stop the epa
if the EPA is sucessful in slowing the works it will be because a few tribes contacted them to get involved
no use trying to guess what will happen
meanwhile where are we in arizona?
good idea
its off to mcdonalds now for a few big macs and fries
dont forget the shakes

and read as much as you can on the subject when you have the extra time
then you wont scream out nonsense
ok
xoxoxox
this volcano is about to blow
except that this shoe string extends over a few states and now owns alot of valuable land at the cost to shareholders of around 600 million shares diluted, a reverse split and some private placement $$. who knows what else ???
we will see if he is capable of turning this into a real good deal or not
we wait
how did you know 2 weeks ago that brisco had no intention of using the fairhills money?
interesting thank you
good read on your part
not happening he is a ny player until the end
sorry
derek jeter led the majors in hits in april
3rd time in his career for that stat
and cal ripkin said jeter could possibly get 4000 hits in his career
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
ky the article says the big boys may put up their own power plants but yes
they have a big disadvantge in some ways but then again the cost of labor is significatly lower vs arizona
look there are alot of pluses and minuses but most of all
the land should and must be mined in arizona
for me that's a no brainer
its a queston of when
so again KY......................
we wait
i totally agree with you
there is alot of money made in manipulation of stocks
its a old practice that will never end
and we have to wait here until the good news arrives
