The Precious Metals Production industry's revenue is forecast to expand at a compound annual rate of 21.5% over the five years through 2024-25 to £396.4 million. Soaring precious metal prices mean that smaller companies have been able to operate with only a handful of staff while still making enough money to keep going. However, as gold and silver are used less in film and digital technology, the amount of precious metals recoverable from scrap has fallen, raising purchasing costs and somewhat limiting growth. The Russia-Ukraine conflict disrupted metal supplies and caused inflation to soar, driving investors to precious metals as a traditional inflation hedge and causing the prices of gold and silver to hike by over 20% in 2023-24, while Platinum Group Metals prices inched down due to reduced investor demand. In 2024-25, gold and silver prices are reaching new highs as the perspective of interest rate cuts continues to drive demand from investors (as lower interest rates would mean other investments like bonds would yield lower returns). As a result of this, industry revenue is expected to swell by 15.9% in 2024-25, when industry profit is set to hit 2.7%. The Precious Metals Production industry's revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 4.4% over the five years through 2029-30 to £491.4 million. Silver is a key component in photovoltaic cells used in solar panels, so it's well set to benefit from the increased importance placed on renewable energy generation. However, manufacturers of photovoltaic cells are likely to lower the content of silver per cell to reduce costs, limiting the benefit for silver producers. Increased environmentalism also means that electric vehicles are likely to gain popularity, reducing the need for platinum group metals used in catalytic converters, while surging gold prices are set to normalise in the medium term, limiting revenue growth. A new gold mine in Scotland is likely to run for almost a decade, allowing primary refiners to set up in the UK.

Accurate prediction of gold prices is crucial for investment decision-making and national risk management. The time series data of gold prices exhibits random fluctuations, non-linear characteristics, and high volatility, making prediction extremely challenging. Various methods, from classical statistics to machine learning techniques like Random Forests, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), have achieved high accuracy, but they also have inherent limitations. To address these issues, a model that combines Temporal Convolutional Networks (TCN) with Query (Q) and Keys (K) attention mechanisms (TCN-QV) is proposed to enhance the accuracy of gold price predictions. The model begins by employing stacked dilated causal convolution layers within the TCN framework to effectively extract temporal features from the sequence data. Subsequently, an attention mechanism is introduced to enable adaptive weight distribution according to the information features. Finally, the predicted results are generated through a dense layer. This method is used to predict the time series data of gold prices in Shanghai. The optimized model demonstrates a substantial improvement in Mean Absolute Error (MAE) compared to the baseline model, achieving reductions of approximately 5.47% in the least favorable case and up to 33.69% in the most favorable scenario across four experimental datasets. Additionally, the model is tested across different time steps and shows satisfactory performance in long sequence predictions. To validate the necessity of the model components, this paper conducts ablation experiments to confirm the significance of each segment.

Australia's gold ore miners have performed well over the past few years thanks to skyrocketing gold prices, driven by growing consumer demand for gold to hedge against inflation, economic uncertainty and geopolitical unrest. More recently, the US's sweeping tariffs have escalated trade tensions, causing uncertainty to loom over global economic growth prospects. This trend has rattled investors' confidence in riskier assets, propelling demand for safe-haven assets like gold in a "flight-to-safety". While investors also view U.S. Treasury bonds as a risk-free asset, the country's involvement in trade tensions has diminished its status as a safe-haven asset, contributing to the capital inflows from U.S. Treasury bonds to gold and lifting the commodity's price. Central banks have also actively purchased gold to diversify their reserve assets and bolster financial stability, supporting demand. Notably, the People's Bank of China diversified its asset base by selling US treasuries and aggressively purchasing gold, further spurring demand. The gold price climb in 2024-25 continues to underpin miners' optimism. Even so, production volumes haven't reflected the hike in demand, largely because of supply chain disruptions, high operation costs and unfavourable weather events. Labour shortages and high input costs intermittently hampered mining operations. AISCs have also risen as producers battle supply chain disruptions, climbing energy prices and labour shortages, limiting miners' profitability gains. Still, the elevated gold prices have stimulated miners' profitability expansion. Overall, gold ore mining revenue is expected to have increased at an annualised 5.7% over the five years through 2024-25, to $37.9 billion. This trend includes a 25.9% surge in 2024-25 thanks to the high gold prices. Gold prices are set to ease over the next few years, constraining revenue growth. However, geopolitical tensions and the easing of monetary policies will continue to support gold demand. Various project expansions will boost domestic gold production in the coming years. The successful expansion of mines like the Cowal underground mine and upcoming projects like the Havieron Project will also bolster gold production. Gold miners will continue focusing on sustainability initiatives, including reducing energy consumption, using renewable energy and minimising greenhouse gas emissions, as they seek to futureproof their operations amid tightening global sustainability regulations. Gold ore miners are also gradually adopting emerging technologies to enhance productivity and safety. This trend is set to continue in the coming years as the importance of efficiency in operations climbs. Higher gold output is forecast to cause industry revenue to rise at an annualised 1.4% through the end of 2029-30, to $40.6 billion.
