XIV CONGRESO INTERNACIONAL DE PROSPECTORES Y EXPLORADORES DESCUBRIENDO RECURSOS MINERALES PARA UN MUNDO MEJOR 144 Gold has been valued for its scarcity, durability, and role in trade since ancient times. It has served as currency, a store of value, and a hedge against economic instability. The transition from the gold standard to fiat currency in 1971 redefined gold’s role, leading to greater price volatility and increased investment demand. This presentation examines gold’s historical performance, its role in modern economies, and the impact of gold price fluctuations on publicly traded companies. The focus includes senior miners such as Newmont, Barrick Gold, and Agnico Eagle, as well as junior mining companies and their significance in global exploration. This study also assesses mergers and acquisitions (M&A) trends within the gold sector and their implications for investors.
