The rising price of gold has been one of the highlights of the past year on the financial markets and perhaps for many, one of the more positive developments. This state of affairs is likely to continue given that most commentators expect the interest rate cycle to have peaked on both sides of the Atlantic. Such a backdrop is something that should give gold and added boost from the $2500 an ounce area, and to further record levels.
Of course, there has been a positive read across to many mining stocks over the recent past, especially those for whom their production costs have remained the same over the recent past. However, we have not seen the type of gold rush into the junior mining space that one might have expected given the lay of the land.
The Environment – Our Blue Oceans Campaign
Over and above the immediate costs of war is that the great majority of the thousands of ships sunk during World War 2 are now known to be ‘slicking time bombs’.
Still present in a great number of these wrecks are millions of cubic meters of unspent heavy fuel oils, munitions and hazardous noxious substances (HNS). As these wrecks decay, the containment of these materials becomes ever weaker. We are now entering the ‘danger period’ where these wrecks will start to leak their fuel oils and other HNS substances into the oceans, this danger period is expected to continue for the next 50 years.
