One aspect of the higher gold price is this- South Africa production, the largest producer in the world, has long been in decline.
The World’s Largest Copper Mines in 2025, Compared With Reko Diq at Full Capacity 🌏
This chart compares Reko Diq at full planned capacity (Phase 1 + Phase 2) with the world’s largest operating copper mines by 2025 output. Reko Diq is still under development, so its figure is a projection.

100 Years of Gold: A Century of Change. Enduring Value.
From the gold standard to today's global markets, gold has played a significant role through a century of economic change.
Over the past 100 years, major milestones, including the end of dollar-to-gold convertibility, periods of inflation, economic uncertainty and growing central bank demand, have shaped the gold market.
By September 2026, gold's monthly average price reached US$4,319 per ounce, highlighting its enduring importance in the global economy.
At Galiano Gold, our focus remains on disciplined operations, operational efficiency and advancing exploration and growth opportunities at the Asanko Gold Mine in Ghana to support sustainable growth and long-term shareholder value.
A century of gold price evolution. A continued focus on building long-term value.

The 9 Rare Earth Elements Behind Modern Robotics
Robot motors and actuators run on Nd and Pr magnets, with Dy and Tb added for heat resistance. Er and Yb enable LiDAR, and Eu, Tb and Y are used in displays. A humanoid robot can use dozens of these motors, and over 97% of humanoid shipments in the first half of 2026 came from Chinese manufacturers.

Charted: The 2040 Copper Supply Gap 📉
Wood Mackenzie projects a copper supply deficit of about 9.1 million tonnes per year by 2040. The estimate already includes base production, mine life extensions and a 70% conversion rate for probable projects.
Closing a gap of that size will require new large-scale projects. Reko Diq in Balochistan is one of the largest copper projects in development, with Phase 1 and Phase 2 together planned to produce around 460,000 tonnes per year at full capacity. Meeting 2040 demand would take roughly 20 projects of that scale.

Mapped: Pakistan’s Metallogenic Zones 🗺️
Pakistan’s mineral deposits follow its tectonic history. This map shows the country’s main metallogenic zones and the mines and projects within them, marked as operational, development or exploration.
In the west, the Chagai-Raskoh Magmatic Arc hosts the copper-gold porphyry systems at Reko Diq, Siah Diq and Saindak. In the north, the Kohistan and Karakoram zones contain placer gold and antimony. The ophiolite belts are the main source of chromite, and the Sulaiman and Kirthar fold belts host lead, zinc and barite.

We are now the largest silver mine in the world.
Game on.

If you own one gold coin, you hold more gold than 72% of the world's family offices. Their most cited risk is geopolitics.
Yet gold ETFs drew a record USD 31bn in Q3, led by Europe and North America, and kept buying as the price fell in September.
The chapter on why is below.

Mapped: Pakistan’s Rare Earth Potential 🌏
Rare earth elements are used in electronics, electric motors and wind turbines. This map shows where rare earth occurrences have been identified across Pakistan, grouped by deposit type: carbonatite, laterite and ion-adsorption clay.
In the north, occurrences are linked to the alkaline rocks of the Peshawar Plain and the Mansehra Granite. In the south, they are found in coastal black sands.

Major Copper Discoveries (1990–2023)
Of 239 major copper discoveries made since 1990, 148 are still not in production.
Out of those 148: 121 haven't completed a feasibility study, 12 have but aren't yet in development, and only 15 have finalized construction plans and begun building.
