Gold Investment Symposium 2013

THE CONFERENCE CALLER: Sydney’s iconic Luna Park is usually the place most people head to Just For Fun.

Next week the venue will double its fun quota as it transforms into the venue for information Just About Gold as leading Australian and global gold industry identities head to The Big Top for the Gold Investment Symposium.

The most precious of metals never seems to be far from the headlines these days, especially with the current closure of the United States Government giving speculators plenty to speculate over.

The Gold Investment Symposium is also the first major gold conference to be held in Australia since Tony Abbot and his incoming Liberal government promised to lower exploration taxes and repeal the Mineral Resources Rent Tax.

The Roadhouse recently caught up with Symposium CEO Kerry Stevenson who said the Gold Investment Symposium would provide investors with the first analysis of the Australian gold market since the election.

“Undoubtedly, the gold landscape has provided challenges but also opportunities this year,” Stevenson said.

“New incentives for gold exploration and ongoing uncertainty in the global financial system provide a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for gold investors to hear the voice of the Australian gold industry.”

Delegates to the Symposium will hear from founder of Sprott Global Resource Investments, Rick Rule, who is scheduled as a keynote speaker for the event.

Other speakers represent a cross section of all aspects of the Australian gold industry, including chief economists as well as ASX-listed gold miners and explorers.

The event culminates with the Gold Awards Dinner to be held in Luna Park’s Crystal Palace Ballroom.
