7 Exciting Gold Mining Shares

Gold may have set a new record, but the advance of precious metals is far from over.

The price of gold shoots through the roof. One of the reasons for this is the fear of inflation. The U.S. government pumped billions of dollars into the system after the financial crisis, even more, to curb the corona crisis, and the end doesn’t seem to be in sight yet.

Geopolitical tensions and low-interest rates are also causing many investors to resort to precious metal.

Seven interesting equities

According to USNews, Bank of America still sees good opportunities for investors to take advantage of the rise in gold prices. The merchant bank tipped seven mining shares.

1. Agnico Eagle Mines

This Canadian gold mining company mined approximately 1.78 million ounces of gold in 2019. Production is expected to reach 2 million ounces this year.

If the gold price rises further, Agnico’s margins will increase.
