April 2013

I’d just bet everything on the one investment my mother warned me against.

And my portfolio was tanking.

Watching my account tick down, all I could think about was the disappointment in her voice as she chided me.

‘Just another bad decision, Brian.’

In my culture disappointing your parents is about the worst thing you can do.

Actually, putting them in the poorhouse is worse.

And I was on the way to doing that too.

See, I’d persuaded my Dad to invest with me.

We were in to the tune of $170,000.

Not exactly pocket change.  But I was confident. My research checked out 100%.

Besides, I understood the market cycle. I knew gold was sending investors a message.

I was sure I’d interpreted this message correctly. So I put Dad and I into exactly the right stocks to make a motza.

There was only one problem...

Someone forgot

to tell the stocks

April 15th 2013 is a day I’ll never forget.

The gold price cratered 10%.

I lost $10,000 — in a single day.

What would you have done in this situation?

Most people would’ve sold everything, changed their phone number and hidden in a cave for the next decade.

What did I do?

I doubled down.

I bought more.

Take St Barbara. I initially bought this gold producer at 58 cents... then watched it fall all the way down to a stomach churning 7 cents.

But I didn’t ditch it. I kept buying... and bought my average entry price down to 25 cents.

For a year and a half, I watched my portfolio almost bleed out. Every bounce turned into a new low. Every rally turned into a false dawn.

By October 2014, I was down 75%.

My mother stopped asking about my investments.

My father said nothing — which was worse.

The guilt... I can’t even describe it.

So... why didn’t I cut my

losses at that point?

Because I was waiting.

See, I’d made a bet that most investors wouldn’t understand.

Gold stocks weren’t falling because the companies were bad. They were falling because of something else.

Oil.

It was too expensive... relative to the gold price.

Mining companies run on diesel. When oil’s expensive, profit margins get crushed.

I’d studied the gold-oil ratio going back decades. When the ratio got out of whack, it always corrected. The only question was when.

It was way out of whack back then. So I kept buying. Averaging down. Building positions in producers I figured would explode once the gold-oil relationship normalised.

That happened in October 2014.

The oil price collapsed. The gold-oil ratio spiked.

Mining companies’ operating margins went from underwater to break even to profitable — virtually overnight.

The producers I’d been accumulating at lower and lower average prices suddenly turned into money-gushing ATMs.

The tables turned. The market started to rally.

So I strapped in.

By September 2016, that
$170,000
had become $555,000

My top three holdings at that time — Resolute Mining, St Barbara, and Ramelius Resources — generated more than $300,000 in profits.

Three hundred grand... from three stocks most analysts considered ‘losers’ just a few months earlier!

My portfolio rallied 600% from the October 2014 low.

I was half a million in the black.

More importantly, my parents finally acknowledged that I wasn't just lucky!

So I guess you’re wondering —

What did I know that others didn’t?

Why did I buy big in 2013 when fundamentals were strong, but sentiment was terrible?

And why on earth did I hang on to my gold stocks when Dad and I were 75% down and nearly out?

Well, to put it simply, I understood what gold was telling me.

Not ‘buy gold’ or ‘sell gold.’

But ‘the market is mispricing these assets.’

See, gold isn’t just another commodity. 

It’s the SIGNAL.

It tells you when something’s broken in the system.

And right now,
it’s screaming

If you can understand what gold is really saying — not what the headlines shout...not what the analysts are parroting — you can position yourself for what comes next.

And it’s going to be epic.

Look, I’m not here to sell you on gold itself.

...

You know the spot price has been at record highs in recent months. You’ve seen the headlines. Maybe you’ve been tempted to jump in. Or maybe you think you’ve missed the boat.

I get asked a lot where I think the gold price is going.

And yes, I believe it’s going way higher.

...

But what most people don’t realise is that a quick rush to $10,000 gold is a BAD thing... for all of us.

How can one of the country’s top gold analysts say that, you might be wondering?

Well, it’s simple. Gold doesn’t spike because things are going WELL.

Gold spikes because

things are going WRONG

$10,000 gold would signal a major financial crash. A mass exodus to safety.

Gold’s run to AU$6,000 this year essentially means that the price of safety just went up.

Essentially, people are prepared to pay more to store their wealth outside of the creaking financial system.

If you think that gold is just the latest ‘hot market’, you’re in danger of getting your investment strategy and your timing badly wrong as we head further into this uncertain period in the global economy.

Case in point. While people queued around the block at bullion dealers in October...

...

...And analysts called for even higher gold prices...

...I was doing something different.

Telling Australians to take profits on some of their gold investments.

Specifically...

  • 150% from Genesis Minerals
  • 154% from Adriatic Metals
  • 247% from Spartan Resources
  • 304% from Gold Road Resources
  • And a very welcome 551% return overall from Southern Cross Consolidated.

That particular trade — in Southern Cross — turned every $1,000 invested into $6,500 — before taxes and costs.

The best bit? My sell signals on all these gold stocks went out just before the spot price in Aussie dollars corrected by 5% in late October 2025.

How? Simply because:

I understand gold

And you can too.

I’ll show you how in this presentation.

First, let me quickly introduce myself...

Brian Chu

BRIAN W.B. CHU
THE AUSTRALIAN
GOLD FUND

 

My name is Brian Chu. And yes, it’s fair to say that I’m an expert on gold and gold investing in Australia.

I’ve invested around 85% of my family’s money through three complete gold price cycles spanning almost 20 years. 

Since 2019 I’ve channelled all that capital through one of the only private family office gold funds in Australia.

And right now we’re doing well. We’re smashing everything to do with gold. The spot price. The mining index. The miners themselves. The juniors — all of them.

My fund – ‘GoldHub’ – is the top line here... 158% returns in the last 13 months. I feel vindicated!

...

Why?

Well, what you can’t see here is that for the two years prior to this — 2022 and 2023 — my portfolio TRAILED the ASX Gold Index.

Not because I was wrong...

Because I was early... again

While other investors were buying ‘safe’ established gold producers, I was overweight speculative, early stage developers and explorers.

Why?

Because again, I’d read the signal loud and clear and figured out what was coming.

In October 2024 the rotation I’d been positioning for began.

And suddenly, those bets I’d made two years earlier became the best-performing stocks in the sector.

My portfolio took off like an F-35 at full throttle.

By June 2025, I’d banked:

  • More than $40,000 profit from Southern Cross Gold — bought under 50 cents, watched it soar to eight bucks...
  • Over $40,000 profit from Spartan Resources — accumulated during the depths, sold into strength...
  • $30,000-$50,000 in gains from Black Cat Syndicate — kept buying in 2021-2023 as others panicked...
  • $30,000-$50,000 in gains from Meeka Metals — same strategy, same result!

From just these four positions — representing around half my speculative holdings — I’d made between $140,000 to $180,000 in realised and unrealised gains...

And at the time of writing I’m still holding more than half my original stakes for the next leg up.

Now I’ll be the first to tell you, it’s not always sunshine and rainbows in this notoriously risky market.

But...

This is what can happen

when you get gold right

You position before the crowd.

You endure the pain of being early.

And you capture the gains while everyone else is still figuring it all out.

Over three cycles, I’ve turned $170,000 into $1.5 MILLION — from gold, gold ETFs and gold stocks.

I don’t always get it right. I make losses on individual positions just like everyone else.

But I hope you can see that gold investing is my speciality and my passion. I wouldn’t commit this much of my own money to anything else.

But what about YOUR money?

Well, I also run two of the most successful gold investment services in the country for private investors just like you.

This is where I share my knowledge of the gold cycle, and back it up with specific investment recommendations, including tickers, buy up to prices and sell alerts.

Remember these results?

  • 150% from Genesis Minerals
  • 154% from Adriatic Metals
  • 247% from Spartan Resources
  • 304% from Gold Road Resources... and...
  • 551% overall from Southern Cross Consolidated.

All these gains were realised between June and October 2025... and they’re all from one of my advisory services.

Members of that service are — at the time of writing — sitting on an average gain of 162% across their entire portfolio of 13 open positions.

We’re not talking one or two lucky picks here...

That’s the AVERAGE

How?

I’ll say it again: by understanding gold’s true message.

An understanding that can give you the confidence to buy when everyone else is selling... sell when everyone else is buying... and believe that you’re likely to be right regardless.

Now again, for the record: I don’t get it right every time... gold miners can be incredibly risky investments.

Some of the stocks I pick turn out to be stinkers for one unforeseen reason or another. And I’m not always bang-on with my timing either.

I’ve bought too late... held too long... sold too early... and I’ve lost money. We all make mistakes. I try not to make expensive ones anymore!

But through three complete cycles — 2008-2011... 2013-2020... and 2021 to now — I’ve learned to read the signals.

And right now, gold is sending a message that most people are misinterpreting. They think it’s a ‘hot market’.

They think gold going up is about growth.

They’re wrong.

So in the rest of this presentation, I’d like to show you how to read gold’s true message for yourself.

Not so you can chase the rally that’s already happened...

But so you can position yourself in the right gold investments AHEAD of the next rotation — before the crowd figures it out.

There’s so much people don’t understand about gold.

For starters...

Gold is not one investment

— it’s FIVE

Physical metal... ETFs... producers... developers...  and explorers.

Gold is a CHAMELEON investment. It changes its character, risk and reward profile depending on where we are in the cycle.

If you don’t understand this...

  • You’ll buy physical gold in a mania — just before it corrects...
  • You’ll buy producers when the smart money’s rotating into developers...
  • You’ll buy developers when it’s time for explorers to take off...
  • And you’ll hold onto those explorers when you should be taking profits

BUT... if you DO understand which gold investment to buy and when... you won’t chase rallies. You won’t panic during pullbacks. And you’ll position cheaply, ahead of any expected rotation.

That’s why I want to give you access to something that took me 12 years and three complete gold cycles to develop.

It’s a pre-release digital copy of my new book called ‘Gold's True Message: A Guide to Building Wealth in a Failing Monetary System.’

This book, due to launch in early 2026, is my complete framework for reading gold’s signals... something that has helped me navigate every phase of the gold cycle since 2008.

Yes, I could’ve kept this knowledge to myself. But that’s not why I do this. I wrote this book because the fact is:

Most Australians are flying

blind when it comes to gold

They’re making decisions based on mainstream news headlines... chasing whatever’s hot... buying the wrong assets at the wrong time... and either getting lucky... or getting burned.

That’s no way to build a successful investment strategy.

Especially not right now.

Gold's True Message is your complete guide to reading gold’s signals — at all points in the cycle — and investing to benefit from them.

Inside is the same framework that’s helped me:

  • Pivot between the various types of gold investments... at the right time... to deliver huge returns in my personal portfolio...
  • And give my advisory members the opportunity to make several big winners from gold stocks... while currently sitting on an average 162% gain across 13 open positions.

Get your copy today and discover:

  • Exactly which gold investments to buy and when (there are certain times in the cycle when I WON’T buy physical gold...)
  • How to position in certain types of gold stocks ahead of rotations — before the market catches on...
  • When to cut losses... take profits... and get out of the gold market before major downturns...
  • And most importantly, how to use gold to protect your wealth when everyone else is losing theirs.

Gold's True Message is the documented, battle-tested strategy of a gold expert who’s invested through three complete cycles with real money on the line... and come out on top.

All the ups... all the downs... and all the learnings.

It can help you stop guessing and start knowing.

Hear me when I tell you: the LAST thing you need to be relying on right now is guesswork.

We’re at a critical point.

Gold is sending a
warning signal...
and most
people
are ignoring it

Gold's True Message will tell you what it is and what it means.

If you’re thinking of piling everything into physical bullion... it might persuade you to think again.

In fact, I’m pretty sure once you’ve read my book you’ll want to position the gold portion of your portfolio  differently... across a number of assets, strategically calibrated to the cycle.

Physical gold... stocks... ETFs... timing... all the details of my gold investment strategy — and how it fits into your wider asset mix — are in there.

And you can get access today.

Because I've made it possible for you to claim your own digital copy of Gold's True Message.

I only ask that you read it before you rush to join the queue at your local bullion dealer!

It will give you the opportunity to make the most of this moment by picking the right gold investments for this point in the cycle.

You haven’t missed out

on this market — trust me

Yes, gold surged to record highs in 2025... $4,200/oz in US dollars... and over $6,000 in Australian...

We saw people queuing around the block at bullion dealers...

It was textbook mania behaviour.

I’m sure some people are spooked by what’s happening in the global economy...

But most people just saw a market flying up and wanted a piece of the action.

The euphoria was short lived.

Everyone who piled in and drove the gold price up to its high on October 20 immediately got spanked as the price started correcting the very next day... quickly falling 7% off its highs.

...

That’s not to say gold won’t resume its upward march to new highs, by the way. I think it will.

But this ‘mania’ was an alarm bell.

Remember, a surging gold price is never a sign of growth.

It's a sign of FAILURE.

Gold’s 54% climb in 2025 was its biggest single year gain since 1979 (another year of soaring inflation).

But did gold become 54% more useful? No. Gold hasn’t changed at all.

What changed is people’s belief in the financial system.

That’s why I immediately told my subscribers to take profits on several of their gold stock holdings. Some of them did very well out of that call.

You have to understand that investors don’t load up on bullion and coins because they’re bullish on gold...

They do it because they’re

bearish on everything else

What you're really seeing here is a loss of faith.

In paper currencies....

In central banks...

And in the entire dollar-based ‘fiat’ monetary system that's been running the world since 1971.

That system — the ‘petrodollar’ agreement that made the US dollar the world's reserve currency — is in its death throes.

...

Did you know that since President Nixon severed the dollar's last tie to gold 54 years ago, the US dollar has lost 88% of its purchasing power?

What cost Americans $100 in 1971 now requires almost $800!

It’s all very well saying ‘cash is king’... but what’s it ruling over?

A dying regime.

Fiat money is flat on its back

and out for the count

Inflation has gobbled it up and is currently picking its teeth with the bones.

This is painfully apparent every time you stand in the checkout queue at Coles... rip open your energy bill or pull onto the petrol station forecourt.

Gold, on the other hand, is the money of kings...

According to The Pure Gold Company, £10,000 British pounds invested in a cash term deposit in 2005 would be worth £12,114 today...

Whereas £10,000 invested in gold over the exact same time period would now be worth £92,468 — an 825% increase.

...

This is how gold can preserve your wealth.

All the governments of the world know this.

  • That’s why central banks have been buying more than 1,000 tons of gold every year for the past three years... DOUBLE the previous decade’s average...  
  • It’s why Russia pegged the ruble to gold in 2022... and prevented its economy from collapsing under sanctions...
  • It’s why BRICS nations are actively ‘de-dollarising’ and settling trade in gold.

The dollar is done for.

In fact, the entire system

is done for

How do I know?

Well, I don’t listen to what governments are saying about money, trade and the economy.

I watch what they’re doing.

For example, most people have never heard of a set of  global banking regulations called ‘Basel III’. And frankly, why would you?

But in July 2025 — to practically no fanfare — Basel III upgraded gold to a ‘Tier 1 high quality liquid asset’.

This means banks can now treat gold as a ‘reserve asset’ for capital requirements. In other words, they can lend against the gold in their vaults.

Lending against a reserve asset is effectively money creation.

Why is this significant?

Well, for the last 54 years gold has been a commodity... like lead, tin, copper and wheat.

As of July 2025, gold — quietly, but officially — became MONEY again.

Central banks know full well that the 50-year-old monetary system is breaking down fast and beyond salvaging.

Basel III shows that they are repositioning for what comes next.

And it looks like gold

will be a major part of it

If gold becomes a global reserve currency again, it’s suddenly going to be in huge demand.

Problem is, global production has plateaued over the past decade.

In fact, all the gold ever mined would only fit into three and a half Olympic-sized swimming pools.

...

So if you want to preserve the value of your wealth in something REAL, you should think seriously about putting a portion of your savings in physical gold.

I can’t tell you when it’s all going to kick off. No one’s going to ring the bell on a global financial reordering.

But if you can read gold’s signals, you’ll see that we’re getting close.

For my complete investment strategy on buying and holding physical gold...

...Its historical standing in the global economy...

...And its potential starring role in the coming financial reset... read Gold's True Message: A Guide to Building Wealth in a Failing Monetary System — it’s all in there.

Secure your copy today and discover...

  • Three warning signs that a financial reset is imminent — and the allocation strategy that positions you to profit from it... Basel III. BRICS de-dollarisation. Petrodollar death spiral. These aren’t abstract concepts. They’re a roadmap. I'll show you how to read it and adjust your portfolio allocation before the crowd figures it out... (Chapter 3).
  • My exact allocation split between physical gold and silver that preserves wealth without the stomach-churning volatility... Most investors get this wrong and load up on silver because it ‘seems cheaper.’ I'll show you why my allocation model gives you the stability you need — and the specific cast bars that offer the best value per dollar... (Chapter 5)
  • The simple metric that tells you whether central banks are accumulating or distributing gold — and how to position yourself AHEAD of their moves... They've added 1,000 tons per year for three straight years. I'll show you the ONE indicator that reveals what they're really doing... so you can get ahead of the next wave of institutional buying... (Chapter 4)
  • How to use Russia's 2022 playbook to protect your wealth if the Australian dollar collapses in the next crisis... When Western sanctions targeted Russia's currency, they pegged the ruble to gold and survived. I'll show you the mechanism they used... and how you can apply it to protect your own wealth from currency collapse... (Chapter 4)
  • How to protect yourself from a 1933-style gold confiscation... Section 42 of the 1959 Banking Act gives the Australian government power to forcibly repossess your gold. I'll show you the three places you should NEVER store bullion... and two strategies that should keep your gold outside of their reach... (Chapter 5)

If you’re in any doubt as to whether gold should be part of your investment strategy at the moment, my book will put you straight and give you the confidence to act decisively.

But what KIND of gold

should you own right now?

Well, Gold's True Message can help you there, too.

See, most people think ‘investing in gold’ means buying bars and coins from a bullion dealer.

But there's an entire universe of gold investments — each with its own risk and return profile, suited to different phases of the cycle.

  • Physical metal can help you store your wealth and preserve purchasing power outside the financial system. But gold bars alone won't make you rich.
  • Gold ETFs trade on the Australian Stock Exchange and give you exposure to gold inside the system. They track the gold price or specific types of gold miners. ETFs don’t tend to deliver exciting gains... but they’re perfect for rotating capital quickly.
  • Gold mining stocks are companies that dig gold out of the ground. These are riskier investments because you’re betting on the performance of individual companies that can go up and down. How violently depends on the TYPE of gold stock you buy — I’ll show you what I mean by that in a moment.   

Gold stocks have what I call ‘built in leverage’ to the gold price. Meaning it typically only takes a small move up in the spot price for some of these stocks to go gangbusters.

For example, when gold rose 58% between 2019–2020, the ASX Gold Index — and ETFs tracking it — jumped 75%.

But some individual gold stocks went MUCH higher. For example Alkane Resources — which rocketed 711%.

Does that mean you should
load
up on gold mining stocks?

Absolutely not... unless you want a quick trip to the poorhouse.

You see, gold stocks are leveraged BOTH ways. If the gold price drops a few bucks, certain gold stocks can fall off a cliff. That’s not a place you want to be.

Take it from me. I’ve been down 75%, wondering for weeks on end if I’d blown my future. I had trouble focusing on anything else. At points I wanted to just close my share-trading account and run away.

It’s no fun.

The point is, each type of gold investment behaves differently depending on where we are in the cycle.

Get your allocation wrong and you'll either miss out on massive gains... or watch your ‘bull market’ portfolio get crushed in the next rotation.

I want to show my best strategies for getting your allocation right in the gold section of your asset mix. For example...

  • In 2013, I held 35% in the Perth Mint Gold ETF while gold stocks were getting slaughtered — that stable base kept me alive.
  • By 2016, I rotated 70% into producers and developers as the rally took off... and captured the big gains.
  • In late 2016, I took profits and shifted back to physical gold and ETFs before the correction.

I can’t overstate it:

Getting this rotation right can be the difference between turning an impressive profit... and watching your portfolio go nowhere.

How to allocate between physical, ETFs, and mining stocks at different phases of the cycle is probably THE most valuable lesson I can teach you...

And you’ll learn how I do it in Gold's True Message.

Get your copy today and discover...

  • When it’s a good idea to own bullion AND gold stocks... I'll show you my current allocation between physical, ETFs, producers, developers, and explorers — and the exact point in the cycle I’ll be looking to rotate from one to the other... (Chapter 5)
  • Which Gold ETF beats physical bullion for your trading capital — and the strategy that helps you go after gains in every phase of the cycle... Physical gold takes 3-5 days to liquidate. My favourite ETF moves instantly. I'll show you when to hold both... and how to rotate between them to swing for bigger returns without missing rallies (Chapters 5 & 8).
  • The simple allocation rule that kept my portfolio alive when gold stocks crashed in 2013... while positioning me to capture the 600% rally that followed... This stable base let me survive the correction AND deploy capital at the bottom... (Chapter 8).
  • The critical mistake that can cause you to miss huge gains in mining stocks... and the simple rebalancing strategy that can capture them without increasing risk... I'll show you the signals that tell you it’s time to adjust your holdings. (Chapter 8).
  • How to use ETFs as your ‘rotation hub’ to move capital between physical gold and stocks without tax friction... Selling physical gold triggers CGT and takes days. My favourite gold ETF trades in seconds with minimal spread. I'll show you how to park capital in an ETF between rotations... and how to know when to move it again... (Chapters 5 and 8).

Rotating your capital in a timely fashion is key to your success, and it’s definitely something Gold's True Message can help you with.

After that it gets a little trickier...

...Because then you’re into the different types of mining stocks.

And with more than 170 such companies listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, you’re going to want to know...

Which TYPE of mining stock

should you actually buy?

The ASX lists major producers like Northern Star, mid-tier operators like Ramelius, developers like Cavalier, and explorers like Ballard Mining.

They’re all called 'gold stocks' — but they’re wildly different beasts depending on where we are in the cycle.

  • Major producers rally first in a bull market — but they also peak first and fall hardest in corrections. You get the illusion of safety but limited upside.
  • Explorers have the potential to deliver thousands of percent in gains at specific times — but only 1 in 5,000 exploration sites becomes an actual producing mine. The rest can eat up your capital through endless dilution.
  • Mid-tier producers tend to deliver the best of all worlds — or at least they have for me. In 2013–2016, I concentrated the lion’s share of my portfolio in mid-tier producers like Regis, Resolute, and Perseus. That's where I captured the biggest gains with manageable risk.

In a nutshell...

Early in the cycle, you want producers with stable operations and cash flow...

Mid-cycle, you rotate toward developers as they de-risk and ramp up...

And late cycle, provided all goes to plan, you take profits from everything and move back to physical and ETFs.

Get this wrong and you'll watch your portfolio get decimated.

In your copy of Gold's True Message: A Guide to Building Wealth in a Failing Monetary System you’ll learn exactly which type of mining stock to own at each phase of the cycle... and how to spot the specific signals that tell you when to switch from one to another.

I explain...

  • Why major producers rally first in bull markets but peak first in corrections — and the strategy I use to go after their early gains, then exit before the crash... Majors tend to be ‘buy first, sell first’. I'll show you when to own them and when to get out to avoid getting trapped... (Chapter 6)
  • Why mid-tier producers deliver the best risk-reward ratio in gold stocks... mid-tiers tend to outperform majors in bull markets and survive better than juniors in corrections. I'll show you why I concentrate a high percentage of my portfolio here... (Chapter 6).
  • How to target developers during the construction phase when their value increases fastest... developers who are building mines see value spike during construction. But timing is everything: too early and you fund their burn rate, too late and you miss the rally. I'll reveal what I’ve found to be the sweet spot entry point (Chapters 6 and 7).
  • Learn my exact portfolio allocation across the 20132016 cycle that captured 600% gains — and how I adjusted that allocation as the cycle progressed... From early cycle major producers... through mid-cycle, mid-tier producers... to late cycle physical gold and back to ETFs before correction. I'll show you my battle-tested strategy for each phase. (Chapter 8).

Look, 600% was great — but it doesn’t always work out like that. And it’s not always a quick or smooth journey to that outcome.

Point is, in Gold's True Message I’m sharing knowledge and strategies that took years of sometimes painfully expensive trial and error to perfect.

When you download your copy you’ll be able to benefit from this knowledge immediately — as we move into what I predict will be an explosive phase of the cycle.

I’ll show you how to get the download link in just a moment.

Now, to make the most of what’s to come you won’t just need to be in the right sub-sector of the gold market...

You’ll need to be in the right stocks too.

And that’s no easy task.

Like I say, they’re all ‘gold stocks’ to the uninitiated.

Take a look at a few mining companies’ websites. You’ll find each of them professing to be the next big thing...

But they can’t ALL be!

Take the last boom...

Northern Star grew from $10 million to $25 billion... while Millennium got liquidated...

Ramelius delivered 380%+ gains... while Calidus got repossessed...

And Genesis Minerals went up 22x... while Gascoyne wiped shareholders out.

Same market. Same type of stocks...

But completely different outcomes.

So what separates the
winning
gold stocks
from the deadbeats?

Chiefly: management quality, drill results, mine economics and timing.

If you overlook more than one of these factors you'll most likely pick a dud that burns through money faster than a pensioner at the pokies.

Gold's True Message gives you my exact framework for evaluating gold stocks at every stage... from reading drill results to spotting management red flags before they blow up.

Dive in and discover...

  • The ‘Durrett drill hole rule’ that separates the hottest prospects from the duds in 10 seconds — and teaches you how to read drill results like a geologist... (Chapter 10)
  • The ‘1-in-5,000’ principle that keeps you away from value trap explorers — and the three specific signals that separate the rare explorer winners from the capital burners... Here’s how I identify the explorers worth owning — and how I decide when to sell them... (Chapters 6 & 9).
  • The three CEO appointments that added $230 million in market value overnight — and how to spot management quality BEFORE a stock delivers big gains... I'll show you the management red flags that signal problems ahead — and the green lights that predict spectacular growth… (Chapter 10)

Gold's True Message is your full gold investing playbook.

Soon, you’ll have my best strategies for allocating your gold portfolio in every kind of market...

...You’ll know which types of gold investments to own — and what to ditch at each stage of the cycle....

...And how to evaluate individual gold miners as well as any geologist.

There are only two big questions left to answer...

When to BUY...

And when to SELL?

Get these answers wrong and everything else is irrelevant.

Remember, in 2013 I bought St Barbara at 58 cents... 18 months before it bottomed at 7 cents.

You might say that’s terrible timing.

But I held through the 88% drawdown... bought more... lowered my average entry price... then rode the stock up for that big win in 2016.

...

Not so terrible after all!

But look it’s easy to get this wrong.

If you’re too early you can suffer brutal drawdowns. If you don’t rotate at the right time you'll watch 10-baggers run without you. If you hold on too long you'll give back all your gains in the correction...

Unfortunately, none of us can know the future.

And I certainly can’t guarantee that my gold investing strategies will work every single time.

But we can use history as our guide.

Gold's True Message shares the timing principles I’ve used through three gold cycles... so you’ll know when to deploy capital... when to rotate... and when to take profits.

Get your copy today and discover...

  • The Gold Stocks Valuation Index that ranges from 0-100... and the October 2024 signal that told me to take profits one month BEFORE the 6% pullback... I'll show you how to read GSVI, so you can position yourself ahead of big moves... (Chapter 12)
  • The SILVER breakout signal that marks the manic phase of every gold bull market — and why speculative gold stocks typically rally after silver breaks resistance... I'll show you the silver chart pattern that screams: ‘move into explorers NOW’... (Chapter 11)
  • The VPM multiple that tells you if a producer is cheap or expensive in 60 seconds... this metric helped me identify which producers were trading below fair value in 2014 — and which were overpriced in 2024. I'll give you the complete formula... (Chapters 7 & 12).
  • The Lassonde Curve strategy that identifies the two stages where mining stocks can deliver huge returns — and how to position yourself before these inflection points... These two phases create the sharpest value spikes. I'll show you how to spot companies entering these stages before other investors twig what’s happening... (Chapters 7 & 9).
  • The gold-oil ratio threshold that signals ‘buy now’ for producers — and how this ratio told me to buy in October 2014 three months before a 600% rally... I'll show you the exact threshold levels that signal cycle turning points. (Chapters 1 & 12).
  • Why I REFUSE to use 20% stop-losses on gold stocks — and how this so-called ‘protection’ strategy would have turned my $555K gain into a $50K loss... I’ll show you the most important signal that gives you the confidence to hold on through drawdowns... (Chapter 8)

Gold's True Message contains everything I've learned through three complete gold cycles.

Every strategy. Every metric. Every mistake and triumph.

It's the complete blueprint for understanding gold's true message... and positioning yourself ahead of the crowd.

If you want a copy today, I've arranged it so that you can get access to a pre-release, digital PDF, right away.

I'll share the download instructions in just a moment.

But I have to tell you...

If you want to build a
portfolio
of investments
for this gold
cycle, you need
to get a move on

I believe we're about to enter the most explosive phase of this current gold cycle. The rotation I've been positioning for since 2022 is in motion.

But if you want to know what individual investments you should buy today...

I’m sorry — the book can’t help you.

Yes, you get my complete strategy, framework, thinking and tools.

But it can't tell you what to do now.

  • It can't send you an urgent alert to take profits...
  • Or tell you to sell a specific stock to stop a small loss from turning into a big one...
  • It can't update you when a developer hits a major milestone that changes everything...
  • And it definitely can't answer your specific question about whether NOW is the right time to add exposure to a particular stock or ETF.

That's why I created The Australian Gold Report.

If you have the capital to spare... and you've decided you want to add gold to your investment strategy without delay...

The Australian Gold Report can help you do that today.

And a digital copy of my brand new book — yours to download and keep forever — comes complimentary with a three month membership. 

Given where we are in the cycle, I'd urge you to seriously consider my offer of help.

The difference between acting this week and waiting three months could be the difference between catching the next rotation and chasing it.

Listen...

The mainstream investment

community’s advice on gold is

ALMOST ALWAYS TERRIBLE

Big funds just don’t get the gold sector.

In fact, they still have limited exposure to gold despite ASX gold miners' market value surging three-fold — from $45 billion in early 2024 to $146 billion by late 2025!

By the middle of the year, more private investors were actively trading gold than were buying and selling the ‘magnificent seven’ tech stocks....

But from the big, lazy Aussie funds?

Crickets.

Financial planners are quite possibly worse. They’ll passively recommend generic gold ETFs... and actually be HAPPY when those funds deliver mediocre returns...

And most desk analysts couldn't tell you the difference between an early-stage developer and an explorer if their lives depended on it.

My advisory service, The Australian Gold Report, gives you what you actually NEED:

Specific, expert gold stock recommendations with exact entry points, buy-up-to prices, and — crucially — sell alerts.

When I recommend a new company to add to your portfolio, you’ll get the company name and ticker symbol... I’ll tell you what to pay for the stock... and you’ll know why I'm recommending this company now.

I’ll also let you know...

  • Where we are in the cycle (and why that’s important)...
  • The catalysts I’m tracking that could trigger an upswing in the stock...
  • And my full assessment of both the risks and potential rewards on offer.

My subscribers tend to appreciate my thorough approach, as Rick Knight-Gregson says:

“Without Brian I could not have invested in gold stocks, it is totally reassuring to know someone is in there with you and has your back.”

I know ‘customer care’ is a novel concept in the investment industry. But it’s true...

I won’t just give you
a recommendation

and
then disappear

I monitor every single position in The Australian Gold Report portfolio constantly, watching for any changes that could affect your investment.

  • If a developer hits a milestone that changes the risk profile of the stock, you'll know immediately...
  • If something happens that makes a producer's margins shrink, I'll send you a sell alert to take profits, reduce your exposure, or cut losses...
  • If a speculative stock I recommended at 70 cents suddenly hits my profit target at $2.40, you'll get the exit signal in time to lock in your gains.

No mystery. No guesswork.

In addition to this, you'll receive regular email updates on developments that could affect our portfolio positions.... and how gold stocks are performing in general.

I'll give you my current market outlook...

Details of any stocks I'm watching for entry opportunities...

And any breaking news that affects our holdings.

You'll never be left wondering what to do.

But does it work?

Well, to remind you, in recent weeks we’ve closed out some ripper positions in The Australian Gold Report, including...

  • 150% from Genesis Minerals...
  • 154% from Adriatic Metals...
  • 247% from Spartan Resources...
  • 304% from Gold Road Resources... and
  • 551% overall from Southern Cross Consolidated

At the time of writing, Australian Gold Report subscribers who were able to buy at my entry prices are sitting on an average gain of 162% across 13 open positions.

And we've got a 92% win rate — meaning 12 out of 13 positions are currently in the green.

My top individual performers are currently:

  • Adelaide based developer — 344% gain
  • West Perth producer — 309% gain
  • Subiaco based producer — 292% gain
  • East Perth mid-tier producer — 265% gain

That’s how far they’ve all gone up since my buy recommendations went out.

...

Look, I can't promise you'll make money on every single gold stock I tell you about.

Sometimes things don’t work out for whatever reason.

It may be the market... it may be the company.

Sometimes it’s even down to a bad call from me.

But what I CAN promise is that you'll be guided by someone who has ‘skin in the game’...

Someone who's invested hundreds of thousands of his own dollars through three complete cycles.

I will be watching your gold stocks while the market’s open and making the necessary calls in real-time.

And if you want to dive

in straight away, no worries

You'll get instant access to my buy list — every open position I'm currently recommending.

At the time of writing, that's 13 stocks you can start building a position in immediately — once you’ve checked their buy-up-to prices.

Again, if you have the speculative capital to spare... and you agree with my reasoning on these companies.... I’d urge you to act as quickly as you can.

We're at a very specific point in this cycle.

I've been overweight developers and early-stage producers since 2022 — enduring two years of underperformance while I positioned ahead of the rotation.

That rotation began in October 2024.

Based on everything I'm seeing I believe we're entering the most explosive 12–18 months of this entire cycle.

This is when you make your mark.

Not by chasing what's already moved like everyone else...

Not by camping out overnight on Martin Place, waiting for ABC Bullion to open...

But by positioning NOW in the right stocks... at the right prices... before the party kicks into full swing.

The Australian Gold Report will give you my real-time positioning strategy for THIS phase of the cycle.

  • The stocks I'm recommending today....
  • The companies I'm targeting for the next rotation...
  • The positions I'm taking profits on before they correct...
  • And exactly when to make each move.

If you want to build a strategically smart gold portfolio ahead of what's coming... this is how you do it.

So how do you

take the next steps?

Well, since you’ve come this far I’m going to assume you’re keen on adding a gold element to your investing strategy in 2026.

So I want to make it as easy as possible for you to make the right decisions.

The easiest decision you could make right now is choosing to take a look inside The Australian Gold Report.

Do that today, and you’ll get:

  • Instant access to my current buy list — 13 open recommendations you can start building positions in immediately (provided they're still under their buy-up-to prices...)
  • New and timely gold stock recommendations to add to your portfolio if you wish — complete with ticker symbols, exact entry prices, and my full risk/reward analysis...
  • Real-time portfolio monitoring — I watch all our open positions constantly and will send you an email when it's time to buy more, take profits, or cut losses
  • Regular market updates — Rapid-fire email correspondence keeping you current on what's happening in gold markets and how it might affect the stocks in our portfolio...
  • Unlimited 'Ask Brian' inbox access — Direct email access to get my take on market developments or your specific questions (although I can’t give you individual investment advice, I’m afraid)...
  • Quarterly Q&A webinars — Your chance to ask about anything gold-related that’s on your mind — and get an instant answer...

The Australian Gold Report is a comprehensive gold investing service for private investors built around one goal:

To get you positioned ahead of the crowd at every phase of the gold cycle.

BONUS GIFT #2:

Your Journey into

Speculative Gold Stocks

At certain points in the cycle, a sub-sector of the gold market skyrockets in value...

I'm talking about explorers: speculative gold plays that have the potential to deliver much bigger, faster returns than established producers — we’ve seen it so many times.

BUT... for every winner, many don't move at all... and some even go backwards.

This special report shows you exactly how to assess the risks and potential rewards in this explosive space.

Plus I'm including two speculative stock recommendations to get you started... provided you’re okay with the added risk involved with adding these potential ‘pocket rockets’ to your portfolio.

Just remember to check the Australian Gold Report website for the latest instructions on these two stocks before you dive in.

Next you’ll get...

BONUS GIFT #3:

Three Advanced Indicators

for Gold Market Success

This report takes you behind the scenes of my stock-picking strategy, revealing the newest indicators I've developed to find high-quality producers at heavily discounted prices.

You won't find these indicators anywhere else — I share them exclusively with my Australian Gold Report subscribers.

These are the tools that helped me identify producers trading below fair value in 2022... some of whom are now up 200–300%...

You can download this report immediately... along with...

BONUS GIFT #4:

Unveiling the VPM Filter

Here I reveal the proprietary tool I used to outperform the ASX Gold Index for seven years between 2015 and 2022.

I call it the ‘VPM Filter’, and it's a secret weapon that can help you value gold stocks more accurately and make smarter portfolio decisions.

This one metric has saved me from falling into several value traps... and helped me identify genuine bargains before the market catches on.

So... what would you expect to pay for all of this?

Well, consider the book on its own.

I’ve given a guide price to my publisher of no less than $50 when it goes on sale separately.

And to be honest, I’m selling it short there.

The intelligence and insight in there is worth way more than that.

This is my entire guiding philosophy over the best part of 20 years...

And the reason why

I’ve accumulated seven-

figure wealth in that time

Then we have the individual reports.

Each one contains a valuable shortcut to gold investing success. We’re talking specific skills I’ve taken years to master. Download yours today and you’ll get all the benefits instantly...

Finally there’s my advisory service. Access to the buy list... all the gold stock recommendations... buy and sell alerts... and portfolio updates.

This is the serious business. And it normally comes with a serious price tag of $499 a year for access.

But not today.

Today it’s important to get you started with gold quickly...

...With all the help I can muster...

...For the minimum outlay and fuss.

So if you click the button below now you can get access to everything I've just described for $49.

That’s one-tenth of the regular 12-month price of the subscription alone...

It’s less than the cost of half a tank of petrol that you’d burn through in three days...

And cheaper than two pub schnitzels that would be gone in 20 minutes!

Look I can’t give you a full annual membership for that.

But I can give you the book... all the downloads... plus three months’ access to The Australian Gold Report — all for just $49.

That gives you heaps of valuable, actionable intel... AND recommendations you can buy today...

...Plus a chance to review my advisory service and see how it fits with your own investing philosophy.

Click the button below now and you’ll reduce your upfront outlay by a whopping $450.

After three months, if you decide to continue, your Australian Gold Report subscription will automatically renew at $49 for each additional three-month period.

Now THAT is a great deal

But here’s the best part:

You’re also covered by our 90-day money-back guarantee.

If The Australian Gold Report isn’t everything I’ve promised today and more...

If you don’t think I can help you build a strategically positioned gold portfolio ahead of what's coming...

Or if you simply change your mind for any reason at all...

Just let me know within the next 90 days. I’ll refund every cent of your $49 joining fee.

There’ll be no questions asked.

And you can keep my book and all the reports — that’s hundreds of dollars’ worth of stock research — as my way of saying thanks for giving The Australian Gold Report a go today.

I can’t make this

any easier for you

Join today and you’re getting my entire framework for successful gold investing.

A framework that helped me turn $170,000 into $1.5 million over three brutal cycles... and that has crushed every major gold index over the last 13 months...

You’re getting my current positioning strategy for the upcoming rotation...

...And details of all the stocks I’m recommending right now to help build your gold portfolio.

I’m even offering to watch those stocks while the market is open and send you immediate updates if you need to change anything.

And I'm handing it all to you for less than the cost of a round of drinks.

...

Frankly, I can’t see why
anyone
would pass this up —
especially
with the market
poised as it is

Bank of America... Morgan Stanley... Deutsche Bank... Goldman Sachs... J.P. Morgan...

They are ALL forecasting much higher highs for gold in 2026 — it isn’t just me being bullish.

Think about that before you go to close the page.

And think about how disappointed you’ll feel if gold stocks you could have been holding in your portfolio start running up fast... while you watch from the sidelines.

One way to avoid that unpleasant scenario is to take action now.

All you’ll pay today is $49.

You'll spend more than that this week on things you won't even remember.

But this you’ll use.

Click the button below now, and let’s get you started.

God bless,
