Interesting chart but isn't the decline in reserves with an increase in the price of gold a real plus for Juniors with significant ore bodies. The majors will need to obtain more reserves and the Juniors will be the source.

According to a recent release, Tower Hill,in their Livengood property, has 17,500,000 Ozs (indicated and inferred) at a cut off of 0.3 g/t. Livengood is near a Kinross project where they have been profitably mining 0.2/t stuff. Tower Hill has about 60 million shares. At $100 /oz, the price that ore bodies sold for a year ago, it suggests that the project will be bought for something like $29/share or more. At 0.5 g/t they estimate 12.5 million Ozs, which using the same numbers corresponds to $20.8/share. And they have a lot more drilling planned.

What about this?

As AU supplies become more constricted, stronger hands will not let go of their physical. Physical AU will go up but, if your thesis about peak gold is correct, the shares of the producers may have more leverage than ever to attract premium - not the case in the '70's. Perhaps they go up even more under a peak gold scenario.
