SCEXF - Gold Miners Index: Jurisdictional Profiles And Reserves

• The Gold Miners Index is down considerably from its year-to-date highs, with gold miners remaining one of the most hated sectors in a risk-on environment.
• This has left a few names on sale, but in a sector where risk fluctuates massively from one miner to another, being mindful of jurisdiction and reserves is essential.
• This article compares several GDX holdings by jurisdictional profile and reserves in the group to examine which names have production coming from the best-ranked jurisdictions, and adequate reserve bases.
• The one standout name among the group is Kirkland Lake Gold on the risk curve, with significant reserves relative to peers and one of the only million-ounce producers in solely Tier-1 jurisdictions.
