Interview with the alchemist: how to turn mining waste into ‘gold’

But, what if we had the chance to redesign mining processes and turn some, if not all, of that waste into saleable products? What if, rather than dumping the material, it could be repurp

The relevance of gold as a strategic asset.

What makes gold a strategic asset? Gold benefits from diverse sources of demand: as an investment, a reserve asset, jewellery, and a technology component.
