The company owns a portfolio of producing, development, evaluation, and exploration royalties and streams, and the majority of group revenue is generated from Canada, Mexico, Chile, and the United States.

Gold Mining Stocks Were Among Top 10 Large-Cap Losers Last Week (May 12-May 16): Are These In Your Portfolio?

Despite the falling gold prices after the stock market rebound, the gold mining companies are poised for growth as this expert highlights &#8220;record levels of free cash flow&#8221; for these companies over the next two years.
What Happened: The Macro Strategist at Crescat Capital, Otavio Costa, has underscored the data for the two-year forward free cash flow estimate for gold mining companies, highlighting the possibility of strong fundamental growth.
According to a chart shared by him, the free cash flow estimates of these companies surpass the expectation of the gold price level by the Philadelphia Gold &amp; Silver Exchange by 2027.
&#8220;Despite the recent pullback in gold, mining companies remain positioned to deliver record levels of free cash flow in the current environment,&#8221; he said in an X post.
This comes as the Gold Spot US Dollar fell 1.02% to hover around $3,145.09 per ounce during the publication of this piece. It was much lower than its recent record high of $3,500.33 per ounce.
&#8220;I've always found it compelling when prices of an asset decline even as fundamentals improve,&#8221; said Costa, adding that &#8220;Investors are gradually beginning to grasp the magnitude of what's unfolding, but in my view, we've already entered the Golden Age of Mining.&#8221;

Shares of precious metals stocks are trading higher amid strength in gold and silver.

Shares of precious metals stocks are trading higher amid a rise in the price of gold and silver.

Shares of gold stocks are trading lower as gold prices drop after President Trump said he has no intention of firing Fed Chair Powell and indicated the final tariff rate with China would be "substantially" lower than the current 145%. These comments could be reducing some macro uncertainty, which recently drove gold to record highs.

Gold surged to fresh all-time highs on Monday, with bullion jumping 2.5% to $3,410 per ounce by 11:20 a.m. ET, as mounting distrust in U.S. financial assets and inflation fears drive a flight to safety unlike anything seen since the global debt crises <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">of the early 2010s.</a>
Since early March, gold prices — tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) — have climbed an astonishing 19.4%, putting the metal on track for its strongest two-month rally since August 2011.
A perfect storm of macro instability, political friction and investor skepticism about the dollar and U.S. Treasuries is fueling the run.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">What's Behind The Gold Boom?</h1>
The root of gold's dramatic resurgence lies in a potent mix of fundamental, structural and behavioral drivers.
The U.S. dollar and long-duration Treasuries — once go-to safe havens — have come under pressure in recent weeks amid President Donald Trump's tariff offensive and his escalating feud with Fed Chair Jerome Powell, raising fears over political interference and eroding confidence in U.S. institutions.
In this climate, gold's reputation as a neutral, time-tested store of value is attracting capital seeking stability.
As a result, traditional hedges have faltered. But gold, immune to sovereign missteps and backed by centuries of store-of-value status, has emerged as a refuge for capital looking for shelter from rising macro uncertainty.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Massive Inflows Into Gold ETFs Confirm Strong Investment Demand</h1>
Investor appetite for gold is clearly visible in the massive inflows into gold-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) since mid-January, when Trump made his official return to the White House:

These blockbuster flows signal broad-based institutional and retail demand. According to Goldman Sachs analyst Lina Thomas, the rally is not being fueled by short-term speculators.
"Data suggests the move has occurred without a substantial return of speculative flows," Thomas said. 
"With estimated COMEX speculative positioning still moderate, we view the rally as structurally supported and less exposed to sharp near-term liquidation risk. Thus, we see current levels as a tactically attractive entry point… and believe this reinforces upside risk to our $3,700/toz year-end forecast."
Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research, said the current momentum validates his call from over a year ago. 
"We&#8217;ve been bullish on gold since it broke out above $2,000 per ounce at the end of February 2024. Our $4,000 target by the end of this year looks increasingly realistic. If that happens, then $5,000 would be our target for the end of 2026."
"This situation may come as a crisis for many assets, but for gold, it's a perfect outcome. Inflation fears remain high as the U.S. stock market loses trillions of dollars, and investors are leaning toward physical gold in search of security rather than risky assets like stocks and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)," said Rick Kanda, managing director at The Gold Bullion Company, in an email.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Miners Regain Momentum</h1>
The rally is also lifting gold miners, many of which had lagged physical bullion for much of 2024. Now, they're catching up. "Gold has surged to new all-time highs above $3,000/ounce, driven by renewed flows into gold-backed ETFs and continued strong demand from global central banks," VanEck said Monday.
"At the same time, gold miners are beginning to regain leverage to gold prices, emerging as some of the best-performing stocks so far this year."
The VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>) is up nearly 52% year-to-date, eyeing the strongest annual gain since the fund&#8217;s inception in 2007.
In response to the metal's powerful rally, Bank of America on Monday raised price targets across its North American gold and silver coverage. 
The move comes just ahead of first-quarter earnings season in the precious metals sector, which begins April 23 with Newmont Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>) and continues with Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEM#NYSE">AEM</a>) on April 24.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
