The Problem
Global Shortage
Mine Financing
Buyer Access
The Problem
Global Shortage
Who are the gold buyers and where are they located?
Gold demand far exceeds supply — with an annual shortfall of 30 Million ounces.
The Problem
Mine Financing
Financing
Headwinds
Junior miners raise $3-5M on the TSX but need $300M on average.
Operational
Risks
It takes junior miners
10 — 15 years to go from discovery to production, compared to 5 — 7 years for larger firms.
Regulatory
Hurdles
Australian mining projects can take 7-10 years to move from exploration to production due to regulatory, environmental, social, and community challenges.
Market
Disparity
Less than 30% of junior mining companies on the TSX raise capital through public offerings, largely driven by institutional investors.
The Problem
Buyer Access
Institutional
Dominance
Only 10% of global investors have access to institutional-grade investment opportunities in the gold market.
Below-Market
Returns
Over the past decade, gold ETFs have averaged an 11.6% annual return, while gold’s price has increased by over 300%.
Limited Trading Pools
Only 5% of gold investments are in physical gold or mining stocks, while the majority go into financial products like ETFs.
The Opportunity
For Junior Miners &
Gold Investors
What if there was a platform that combined the benefits of streaming agreements but at the scale and accessibility of a global exchange?
With Toucan, there is.
The Opportunity
Gold Investor Pool
A typical junior miner raises just $3M per round due to a small pool of investors.
Toucan’s Exchange Platform unlocks access to a global pool of potential investors.
