Silver Storm Mining Ltd. (TSXV:SVRS)
Building the Next Latin American Silver Producer.
Gold prices have encountered some resistance recently due to the possibility that the Federal Reserve may lower interest rates later than expected. However, for long-term investors who are bullish on gold prices, this provides just the great opportunity to buy gold or gold stocks at low prices.
According to a report by the World Gold Council, gold consumption will grow by about 3% to 4899 tonnes in 2023, driven by large-scale central bank purchases and demand in the OTC market. In China, gold has become a popular investment option due to falling property prices and fewer other investment options. And China’s huge demand for gold has become an important catalyst for the precious metal.
