Located in Denver not far from the headquarters of USAGOLD / Centennial Precious Metals, the Denver Gold Group is a not-for-profit organization of primarily gold mining companies and mining-related engineering, accounting, and law firms; aimed at supporting the common interests of members through marketing, packaging, endorsing and promoting gold mining companies as a group.
Among its efforts the Denver Gold Group enables senior-level mining executives to interact with one another and to discuss industry issues; promotes the gold mining industry through programs including annual investment forums in Denver; provides information to members and to the public; serves as liaison with the press; and strives to enhance the image of the gold mining industry.
Through a long-standing friendship with this important organization, USAGOLD is pleased to be able to provide our clientele with this following selection of important Keynote Speeches, Addresses, and Articles from the gold industry's prominant figures, participants and sponsors to their peers at their annual gold mining conferences.
That's right, the time is finally here when gold has regained some of it's glory. And it looks as if it will have some sustainability this time. We have had some spikes in the past few years, where gold prices have climbed to the $300 level, but then retraced every penny. Things could be different this time around. In the reading I have done in the past few weeks, I have observed many different factors related to gold interest. It seems there are numerous factors moving gold this time, so I thought it would be beneficial to consolidate them here for you...
It gives me much pleasure to be here at this distinguished gathering of the Denver Gold Group Investment Forum. When Michele Ashby asked me some months ago if I would make the Keynote speech over lunch I accepted without hesitation because, even though I was new to the world of gold, I was already well aware of the splendid reputation of the annual Denver Gold Group meeting as the pivotal event of the gold industry each year. What I did not know was that we would be meeting in a dramatically changed environment of renewed confidence and optimism.....
You may recall that when I spoke to you last year, I urged all who have the welfare of the gold industry at heart, to redouble their efforts to hasten the transfer of gold out of the hands of those who didn't need it (like the gold-mining companies and the Central Banks) and into the hands of those who actually want to own it....
I was a bit shocked when Michele asked me to speak at this conference. Shock turned to horror when I realised that my audience had been given Hobson's choice -- listen or no lunch! I hope the invitation did not deter too many potential attendees because my views on certain aspects of the gold industry are well known and not much loved by many of you. Furthermore, I run the risk that if I speak my mind, I may be accused of biting the hand that has just fed me. I can't believe there are many people here who can stomach the thought of sitting through even a variation of my usual theme. I therefore promise to be brief - the greatest quality in any speaker...
