If you own one gold coin, you hold more gold than 72% of the world's family offices. Their most cited risk is geopolitics.
Yet gold ETFs drew a record USD 31bn in Q3, led by Europe and North America, and kept buying as the price fell in September.
The chapter on why is below.

1/ Mining CEOs & IR teams: we don't need more geology. We need better storytelling. ⛏️
70+ meetings and 300+ pages of notes later, here's my tough love from Colorado. 🧵👇

8/ Many slide decks are OK-ish, but not great. The best visuals I've seen in this industry come from @MiningVisuals ✨ They turn complex projects into stories people actually get.
Full disclosure: we liked them so much, we invested. 😉

Gold continues to play an important role in global reserves.
Central banks have been net buyers of gold every year since 2010, marking a significant shift following two decades of net selling.
Buying accelerated in recent years, with more than 1,000 tonnes purchased annually in 2022, 2023 and 2024. Since 2010, cumulative net purchases have exceeded the net sales recorded from 1983 to 2009.
This sustained buying underscores gold’s enduring role as a strategic reserve asset and store of value.
At Galiano Gold, we are proud to produce gold at the Asanko Gold Mine in Ghana and to be part of an industry producing a commodity that has held an important place in the global financial system for generations.

Ghana sits at the heart of West Africa’s gold landscape.
In 2025, Ghana produced approximately 6.0 million ounces of gold, more than any other country in Africa. Its long history of gold production and modern mining industry are rooted in the Birimian geology shared across West Africa.
For Galiano Gold, this story is centred on the Asanko Gold Mine, a multi-deposit operation on Ghana’s Asankrangwa Gold Belt. Asanko combines established production with continued exploration in one of the region’s most important gold settings.

Apple raised the iPhone price 6.3% this year, yet in gold the phone in your pocket still got cheaper.
The iPhone 18 Pro Max with 1 TB costs 0.38 ounces, under half the 0.92 of the original in 2007.
The iPhone and the In Gold We Trust Report hit their 20th edition this year!

Good news from the Theresienwiese: an ounce of gold goes further again this year! 🍺
240 Maß per ounce, a new all-time high, against a 1950 to 2026 average of 93.
The old record was 227 Maß in 1980. A Maß cost EUR 2.51 then, gold EUR 569. Today: up to EUR 15.90 and EUR 3,827.

Ghana has six greenstone belts, and almost all of its major mines sit in three of them, along faults that concentrated the gold over two billion years ago.
Every ounce you own came out of ground like this.
A higher price cannot create a seventh.
📍 Mapped: Ghana's Three Major Gold Belts
Almost all of Ghana's gold sits in three narrow belts of ancient rock, traced by deep faults that run southwest to northeast. Our new map shows where the three belts run and the mines strung along each of them.
The full story digs into the geology behind the map: why the gold follows the faults, what makes the middle belt different from the other two, and why fresh capital keeps flowing into these belts today.

Ancient geology shapes Ghana’s gold landscape.
Between the Ashanti and Sefwi-Bibiani greenstone belts lies the Asankrangwa shear corridor, home to Galiano Gold’s Asanko Gold Mine.
More than two billion years later, it still guides exploration.

GOLD’S SHARE OF GLOBAL RESERVES HAS CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE PAST DECADE.
For much of the period from 2000 to 2020, gold represented roughly 9% to 15% of global reserves, reaching a low of approximately 9% in late 2015.
By the end of 2025, that share had risen to 26.6%, nearly three times its 2015 level, with much of the increase occurring after 2023.
What changed? Central banks have remained net buyers of gold, adding to their holdings, while higher gold prices have increased the market value of gold already held in reserves. Together, these trends have increased gold’s weight within the global reserve mix.
Against this broader gold backdrop, Galiano remains focused on execution at the Asanko Gold Mine: delivering our 2026 plan, advancing Nkran Cut 3 and progressing exploration at Esaase and Abore to support the mine’s next phase of growth.

The bottleneck sits downstream at the refinery, so a new mine does not move it.
Chile, Peru and DR Congo mine half the world's copper, yet none of them leads the refining.
@ctindale, in our IGWT'26 report: central banks can print money, but not copper, not smelters, not mines.
Energy transition minerals: top 3 countries in mining & refining 📊
For most of these minerals, three countries account for the majority of supply, and the share is higher at the refining stage:
🔋 Graphite 99%
⚡ Lithium 95%
🧲 Rare earths 94%
A new mine doesn't change much on its own, since the ore still has to be refined in the same few places.

Ghana’s gold advantage runs deep, with a geological story more than two billion years in the making.
Few countries can match its combination of exceptional geology, mining heritage and local expertise.
Ghana’s ancient Birimian belts are part of one of the world’s richest gold regions. Combined with more than a century of mining experience, established infrastructure and a highly skilled local workforce, this remarkable geology has helped Ghana remain Africa’s leading gold producer.
For Galiano Gold, Ghana is more than where we operate. It is the foundation of our business. Through the Asanko Gold Mine, we are proud to contribute to the country’s mining industry through responsible operations, investment in local people and communities, and the creation of long-term value.

Last year the state exported 104 tonnes of artisanal and small scale gold and put the proceeds behind its currency.

One-third.
That is the share of sovereign wealth funds and central banks surveyed this week by @InvescoUS who plan to increase gold holdings, as dollar concerns deepen.
Over 2,000 tonnes already came home since 2011. Germany, France, Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Hungary, Türkiye, Serbia, India.
