Gold is considered to be a safe-haven asset during times of economic uncertainty. But as we’ve seen during the past several months, nothing has been more volatile.

Gold miners rely on high gold prices to compensate their exploration and production costs. If you research miners’ cost per ounce of gold produced, the numbers are different from one miner to other miners. That’s because there isn’t a standard metric to measure the true costs of mining operations.
