To John\u2019s veteran eye, the conditions in this beleaguered industry have improved substantially. Mining supply is tightening while demand is rising, and the surviving companies have achieved positive cash flows at today\u2019s depressed prices.<\/p>\n<p>Claiming that we are now past \u201cpeak gold\u201d, Hathaway expects gold prices to move higher vigorously, propelling the shares of mining companies multiples higher from where they are today:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The industry hasn\u2019t been able to issue equity to any substantial degree for five or six years. And, so they\u2019ve gone more and more to streaming royalties, that sort of thing. But the industry is capital constrained and they always seem to be able to get capital, but what we see is a shrinking industry, shrinking gold production on a global basis and a wave of mergers and acquisitions. We\u2019ve seen quite a few recently, the combination of Barrick and Randgold would be the first. We recently saw Pan American Silver take over Tahoe, and that wasn\u2019t as big a deal, but certainly it was significant. And then there have a been a lot of little private deals you don\u2019t hear about.<span class=\"amazon-element-wrapper-custom align-right last-count\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-med-image\"><span class=\"amazon-image-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Case-Gold-Minority-Report-Commission-ebook\/dp\/B004HFS6IC?SubscriptionId=AKIAI63WS3YGA3Y5U2QA&amp;tag=lrc18-20&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;camp=2025&amp;creative=165953&amp;creativeASIN=B004HFS6IC\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51vBRW3MuJL.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"amazon-image amazon-image-medium\"\/><\/a><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-title\"><span class=\"appip-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Case-Gold-Minority-Report-Commission-ebook\/dp\/B004HFS6IC?SubscriptionId=AKIAI63WS3YGA3Y5U2QA&amp;tag=lrc18-20&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;camp=2025&amp;creative=165953&amp;creativeASIN=B004HFS6IC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">The Case for Gold: A M&#8230;<\/a><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-author\">Ron Paul<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-check-amazon\"><span class=\"appip-formatted-price\" style=\"color: #990000;padding-bottom: 4px;display: block;\">Check Amazon for Pricing.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-button\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/aws\/cart\/add.html?AssociateTag=lrc18-20&amp;SubscriptionId=AKIAI63WS3YGA3Y5U2QA&amp;ASIN.1=B004HFS6IC&amp;Quantity.1=1\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lewrockwell.com\/wp-content\/mu-plugins\/amazon-ad-link-lr\/img\/buy-from-tan.gif\" border=\"0\"\/><\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>The industry is running out of reserves.
