If one lucky day you find yourself sitting on a (literal) gold mine, the highest value will be in the mine itself, not the gold. An ounce of gold will always just be that, but the mine is an expandable business that can invest in its operations and provide dividends.

Precious metals – and gold in particular – are the perennial go-to sources of protection against inflation and economic downturns. The gold market is dynamic, and there are compelling reasons why gold miners could rally. Consumer demand remains solid, with around 2’500 tons of gold mined worldwide every year. Over the long haul, gold as a commodity has appreciated by more than 287% during the past 15 years; by comparison, the S&P 500 has gained less than 44% over the same period. Investing in mining operations is a good way to tap into the benefits of precious metals without paying storage costs.
