Central banks bought more gold in 2018 than at any time since the early 1970s
Bullion holdings rose by 651.5 tons last year, the most since 1971
In the 1990s, gold was an unloved asset among central banks. Reserve managers lent or sold their gold, particularly in Europe, and the gold price fell to a low of US$250/oz. Years of persistent selling triggered the Central Bank Gold Agreement of 1999, under which signatories agreed to limit collective sales to 400 tonnes per annum, put a cap on gold leasing and take a disciplined approach to gold futures and options.
The Agreement delivered two clear benefits: it helped to stabilise
the gold price and increased transparency around central bank gold
sales. Today, however, sentiment towards gold has been transformed and
gold has regained its status as a valuable and highly regarded reserve
asset.
In 2018 alone, central banks bought 651 tonnes of gold, up 74% compared to 2017 and the highest level since 1971.
Key Changes
A glance back over the past 20 years highlights some of the key changes in central bank behaviour.
First, central banks have rapidly and consistently added to their
foreign exchange reserves since the Asian crisis of 1998. Reserves are a
crucial element in a country’s armoury, providing protection against
both domestic and external shocks and acting as a show of confidence to
the outside world. Emerging market economies led the charge in this
respect, sending worldwide foreign exchange reserves from around US$3
trillion (tn) in 2000 to approximately US$13tn in 2014. Purchases have
plateaued over the past five years but still stand at some US$13tn
today.
The dollar is the most widely held reserve asset but, according to
International Monetary Fund statistics, gold comes third, accounting for
11% of global reserves. Having been net sellers until 2000, central
banks have been net buyers ever since. In 2018 alone, central banks
bought 651 tonnes of gold, up 74% compared to 2017 and the highest level
since 1971. Over the past decade, central banks have purchased more
than 4,300 tonnes of gold, taking their total holdings to around 34,000
tonnes today. The trend has continued in 2019, with net purchases
reaching 90 tonnes before the end of the first quarter.
Notably too, central bank buying has been geographically diverse. Russia
has been the most committed purchaser of gold – acquiring almost 275
tonnes in 2018, the largest amount ever purchased in a single year.
China has been consistently adding to its reserves as well, but many
other emerging market countries have been accumulating gold over the
past year and more, including Hungary, Poland, Egypt, Kazakhstan and
India.
The Drivers
What is the rationale behind this renewed interest in gold? First,
heightened uncertainty about the global economic and geo-political
outlook and second, gold’s intrinsic value as a reserve asset.
Ten years after the Global Financial Crisis, the macro-economic
outlook remains fragile and hard to read. In April, the IMF outlook
highlighted weakening GDP growth, with risks skewed to the downside. As
IMF Chief Economist Gita Gopinath explained, the global economy is at “a
delicate momentâ€. Advanced economies are predicted to grow by just 1.8%
in 2019 and 1.7% in 2020, while growth in the Euro area is expected to
be even lower, at 1.6% and 1.5% respectively. The emerging market growth
trajectory is more solid (4.4% in 2019 and 4.8% in 2020) but risks
remain tilted downwards.
Trade tensions are a major unknown. They have already had a negative
impact on growth and if the US and China do not reach a genuine truce,
the global outlook may worsen further. Fears of retaliation and
escalation may hit business investment, supply chains may be disrupted,
and productivity may slow across the world stage. The Euro area faces
specific challenges too. Business confidence is low, especially in
Germany due to the introduction of new fuel emission standards in the
auto industry. Fiscal policy is affecting Italian sovereign and
commercial bank spreads. And, of course, uncertainty about Brexit
persists, particularly as the exit date has now been postponed to
October 2019.
Furthermore, global geo-political risks have not abated and may have a
negative impact on economic activity. Idiosyncratic risks are
increasing too, such as the rise of populist governments in Latin
America and across Europe.
What is the rationale behind this renewed
interest in gold? First, heightened uncertainty about the global
economic and geo-political outlook and second, gold’s intrinsic value as
a reserve asset.
Gold Advantages
All these uncertainties accentuate negative market sentiment and
drive central bank investors to reallocate their portfolios away from
risky assets to safe haven assets.
This is where gold comes into its own, as it fulfils central banks’ three core objectives: safety, liquidity and return.
Gold is well known as a safe haven asset. It carries no credit risk,
has little or no correlation with other assets and the price generally
increases in times of stress. As such, it offers valuable protection in
times of crisis.
Gold is highly liquid too. It can easily be traded in global market
centres, such as London and New York. It can be used in swap
transactions to raise liquidity when needed and it can be actively
managed by reserve managers.
Gold can also enhance the risk/return profile of a central bank portfolio. Its lack of correlation to other major reserve assets makes it an effective portfolio diversifier and, over the long term, it delivers higher returns than many other assets.Â

Drilling has resumed at the C.O.D. North vein, where sample results last year ranged up to 21.7 grams per tonne gold over 0.4m
The new geophysical anomaly on the Gold Drop property is centered at the intersection of three interpreted major fault-conduit structural lineaments two of which are coincident with known structures: C.O.D. vein system and a cross-fault.
The anomaly measures 1834 by 1377m and is interpreted as a pipe-like structure requiring drilling to a depth of at least 400 and up to 764 metres.
The most significant gold drill intersections (core length) from the phase 3 diamond drilling on the COD vein are as follows:
COD18-3: 14.62 g/t Au over 2.1 metres;
COD18-26: 10.30 g/t Au over 1.4 metres recovered core (within 2.35-metre interval);

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 11, 2019 /
GGX Gold Corp. (TSX-V: GGX), (OTCQB: GGXXF), (FRA: 3SR2) (the “Companyâ€
or “GGXâ€) announces that it will resume drilling next week at its Gold
Drop property in the Greenwood Mining Camp.
After
taking a much-deserved field break, the drill and geological crews are
returning to the Company’s operations base in Greenwood, B.C. to resume
drilling activity on the Gold Drop property. Drilling will resume next
week initially at the C.O.D. North vein, where sample results obtained
late last year ranged up to 21.7 grams per tonne gold over 0.4 metres
(see news release dated Nov 20, 2018).
Drilling
will then be directed to the area of a new-technology geophysical
target identified by Stargate II, an enhanced, deep-penetrating
ultra-sonic AMT (Audio-Magnetotellurics) geophysical survey conducted
by Earth Science Services Corporation of Oshawa, Ontario (see news
release dated July 3, 2019). The new geophysical anomaly on the Gold Drop property is centered at the intersection of three interpreted major fault-conduit structural lineaments, two of which are coincident with known structures: C.O.D. vein system and a cross-fault. Geometrically, the
anomaly measures 1834 by 1377 metres (see figure below) and is
interpreted as a pipe-like structure that tops out at about 360 metres,
requiring drilling to a depth of at least 400 and up to 764 metres. This
will be the deepest ever to be drilled on the Gold Drop property.
Stargate II Anomaly Map:
Drilling
is expected to continue through this month on these and other targets.
Assay results from the first round of this season’s drilling on the
C.O.D. vein are also expected to be received this month.

Drilling a high priority geophysical target at its Gold Drop property in the Greenwood Mining Camp.
Stargate II (SG II) Drill Target Modeling System incorporates Acoustic EM analysis, technology that was developed by Earth Science Services Corporation
SG II employs an enhanced, deep-penetrating ultra-sonic AMT (Audio-Magnetotellurics) geophysical survey.
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 4, 2019 / GGX Gold
Corp. (TSX-v: GGX), (OTCQB: GGXXF), (FRA: 3SR2) (the “Company” or
“GGX”) announces that it is planning to drill a high priority
geophysical target at its Gold Drop property in the Greenwood Mining
Camp.
The proprietary Stargate II (SG II) Drill Target Modeling System incorporates Acoustic EM
analysis, technology that was developed by Earth Science Services
Corporation of Oshawa, Ontario (ESSCO). SG II employs an enhanced,
deep-penetrating ultra-sonic AMT (Audio-Magnetotellurics) geophysical
survey.
The system is in developmental / pre-commercial stage and as such the effectiveness of this technique is not fully known to GGX.
Stargate
II surveys were performed by ESSCO over the Republic Graben trend in
Washington and B.C. in 2014/2015 at 1 km and 500 metre line spacings. A
resultant geophysical anomaly on the Gold Drop property in the Greenwood
Mining Camp was supplied by Glenn Galata of ESSCO. The anomaly measures
1834 by 1377 metres, is centered at the intersection of three
interpreted major fault conduit structural traces and is located along
strike and to the north of the C.O.D. vein trend. Testing the target
will require drilling to a depth of at least 400 and up to 764 metres –
the deepest ever to be drilled on the Gold Drop property.
Stargate II Anomaly Map:
The
anomaly is located at the intersection of corridors identified as
“conduit-fault-structural traces”. Two of these are coincident with the
trend of the C.O.D. vein system and a probable NW-trending cross-fault.
The correlation of anomaly corridors with known geological features
provides some confidence in the result.
GGX is excited to have
the opportunity to engage this new technology with a drill test planned
in the coming weeks. If successful, the test at the Gold Drop property
could result in the discovery of a new gold deposit or even a new gold
deposit type. It could also lead to further investigations utilizing the
new geophysical technique in other areas of the Greenwood Mining Camp.

Advance Gold is focused on its
100% interest in the Tabasquena Silver Mine in Zacatecas, Mexico. Drilling in
the first 3 phases identified a cluster of 30 mineralized epithermal veins over
an area from east to west of approximately 300 metres, and north to south 400
metres, and 300 metres of depth. Advance plans to focus deeper to find the
boiling zone of the system and potentially economic mineralization. AAX
recently created a 3D model of the vein Tabasquena system.
GGX gold has discovered high grade gold silver and tellurium in the Greenwood-Republic mining camp, British Columbia. The current 2019 drill program follows up on 2018 intercept of high grade gold-silver (129 g/t gold and 1,154 g/t silver over 7.28 meter) from the near surface COD vein which is projected to be 1.5 kms in length. In addition tellurium grades were announced with “up to 3,860 g/t telluriumâ€, including “823 g/t tellurium over 7.28-meter core length†and “640 g/t tellurium over 6.90-meter core length. 2019 drilling on COD North is currently underway.
