- Investors still haven't made the link between high gold prices and mining equities, said Robert Quartermain, co-chairman of Dakota Gold.
On Monday Quartermain spoke to Kitco Mining.
Quartermain has a storied career in mining. Most recently he was Executive Chairman of Pretium Resources Inc., which he founded in October 2010. Pretium's Brucejack mine became Canada’s fourth-largest gold mine with annual production of 350,000 ounces. Quartermain was inducted into the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame in August 2022. Newcrest acquired Pretium in 2021 for $2.8 billion.
Gold has hit several all-time highs, but the gold miners are not seeing the full benefit yet. The VanEck Gold Miners ETF is only up 10% year-to-date and still well under highs hit earlier this decade.
"[Many] of the miners think the gold price is still going much higher," said Quartermain. "What we need to see a is better connection between where the gold price is and what we're seeing in the equities."
Quartermain said a generational change is partly to blame for the depressed equity prices over the past ten years.
"Over the last decade we've seen a lot of movement of money out of the gold space," said Quartermain. "Over a decade ago when we were building the Brucejack Mine, many portfolio managers with a lot of gold assets under management. They left or those funds were depleted
in size."
Quartermain's new venture is Dakota Gold, a gold exploration and development company focused on advancing the Homestake District in South Dakota. Properties cover over 48 thousand acres. The has over 145 years of gold mining history. Dakota Gold commenced drilling in January 2022. It listed on the NYSE the same year. Currently the company has four drills operating with over 279,000 feet drilled.
The company closed an investment with Orion for $17 million in exchange for ~7% ownership. Dakota has a planned $30 Million exploration program for 2024.

just look at increased share count of Barrick, Newmont and other majors from 2000, 2010, 2020 - the market is correctly discounting the gold miners!
Enjoy the Dilution investors in gold miners!!!
Very well spoken gentleman.
They can short miners but not asian gold demand 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Bob's legendary. Great interview. Thanks Kitco
Thank you, very interesting interview!
bob was so great with PRETIUM and i hope he builds DAKOTA
Great to hear, short on facts! Names and concrete numbers would be nice! But thanks for the interview!
Dakota Gold. They have a website. 40mn ounces historically…..they have thousands of acres under claim around the old mine and adjacent mines. And they have all the drill data from the Homestake mine….
@@frederickmatthews4259 Thanks Frederick, I'm a small Owner!
Question in regards to US gold investing and proces. In Hanoi, PNJ Co. announced a rise of VND400,000 (US$15.75) in both buying and selling gold at VND82.1 million ($3,232) and VND84.1 million ($3,310) per tael. Would this action affect the US?
My Miners positions will do better since the increase in gold covered their increase in expenses.
Power lines need to be underground.
Thanks Kitco¡¡
Two BC mines starting this year, Ascot and (hopefully) Blackwater
British Columbia is a horrible jurisdiction for getting your mine permitted in a reasonable time frame.
Its a smaller group of us trading & investing in miners. So when the market goes up, it quickly runs out of buyers. Shorters, of which seem to be Infinity, then step in to walk things back down. The ups in market moves seem to be very short lived because there is too little money available to back up good news.
