Mineros (MSA.TO) on Friday said it adopted a formal strategic gold reserve policy under its investment management policy, establishing physical gold bullion as a core treasury asset of the company.
Mineros said the policy comes "against a backdrop of persistent inflation, sustained central-bank gold purchases, and continued pressure on the purchasing power of monetary assets, the Board and management consider a measured allocation of treasury assets to physical gold a prudent approach to capital stewardship".
"The policy formalizes a natural extension of our business: retaining a measured portion of our output in its most elemental form," said Chief Executive Officer Daniel Henao. "Gold is the asset we understand best and holding it in treasury aligns the company with shareholders who own Mineros for exposure to gold."
The company's shares were last seen up C$0.03 to C$6.46 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
