Are there others in the box?

Yes—there *are* others in the “resilience box.” Using GDX as the sector proxy, I treated the sharp drop from **2026‑01‑28 → 2026‑02‑05** as the selloff, then looked at **U.S.-listed gold miners (name contains “Gold”, mkt cap > ~$1.5B)** and measured: - **Max drawdown** from 2026‑01‑28 to 2026‑03‑04 - **Total return** over the same period (selloff + recovery) For reference, **GDX** had a **max drawdown of ~‑17.6%** and ended the window at about **‑5.6%** total return. ### Stand‑out names besides the original pick 🏅 **1️⃣ Allied Gold (AAUC)** – pure “ballast” - **Max drawdown:** only ~**‑3%** (barely flinched vs GDX’s ‑17.6%). - **Total return:** roughly flat (**‑0.7%**). - **Post‑selloff move:** modest rebound, ~+1–2% from the Feb 5 low. ➡️ This is the most *defensively resilient* miner in the screen: tiny drawdown, very low volatility. Great if you want ballast rather than torque. **2️⃣ Alamos Gold (AGI)** – resilient *and* strong rebound - **Max drawdown:** ~**‑17%** (similar to GDX during the flush). - **Total return:** about **+17%** over the full window (it more than made back the drawdown). - **Post‑selloff move:** ~+38% from the Feb 5 low to early March. ➡️ This is the best “resilience + upside” combo: it did drop with the group, but **recovered much more strongly** than the ETF. **3️⃣ Royal Gold (RGLD)** – royalty model cushion - **Max drawdown:** ~**‑15.8%** (a bit better than GDX). - **Total return:** about **‑6.6%**, roughly in line with the ETF. - **Post‑selloff move:** ~+11% off the Feb 5 low. ➡️ As a **royalty/streaming** name, RGLD tends to show *less operational risk* and somewhat smoother cash flows—good for a more defensive slice of your gold exposure. **4️⃣ Iamgold (IAG)** – moderate drawdown, nice recovery - **Max drawdown:** ~**‑18.4%** (a bit worse than GDX). - **Total return:** **+3–4%** over the full window. - **Post‑selloff move:** roughly **+27%** off the low. ➡️ More “beta” than AAUC/RGLD, but it rewarded you for holding through the drop. **5️⃣ Seabridge, Equinox, Centerra (SA, EQX, CGAU)** – middle of the pack - **SA / EQX / CGAU** each saw **drawdowns ~‑18–20%**, close to GDX. - But they posted **flat to mildly positive** total returns and **~+17–24%** rebounds off the selloff low. ➡️ These behave like “normal” miners with **sector‑like downside** but **above‑average snap‑back**. --- ### Visual: how they behaved vs GDX 📈 Here’s how **GDX**, **AAUC**, **AGI**, and **RGLD** have traded since the 2026‑01‑28 peak, indexed to 100 at the start of the selloff: ```reference

``` - **AAUC** (orange line) stays almost flat, barely dipping below 100. - **AGI** (green line) drops with the pack but then ramps to ~117, clearly outpacing GDX. - **RGLD** (blue line) tracks roughly with GDX but a bit smoother. --- ### How to use this “box” with your style 🎯 Given your profile (comfortable with volatility, but you care about fundamentals and durability), you might think of the screen like this: - **Defensive core:** - **AAUC**, **RGLD** – for stability and lower drawdowns. - **Offensive but still resilient:** - **AGI**, **IAG**, **SA/EQX/CGAU** – for more torque if gold keeps running, accepting GDX‑like drawdowns. If you’d like, next step I can: - Rank these by fundamentals (AISC, balance sheet, jurisdiction risk), *not just* price action, - Then help you pick **one “core” and one “torque” miner** that best match how aggressive you want to be on this next leg. Which camp do you want to focus on first—**ballast (AAUC/RGLD)** or **high‑torque rebounders (AGI/IAG/NG)**? 😄 : Referencable result ID 1 – GDX closing prices. : Referencable result ID 2 – Gold‑name stock screen (df_miners). : Referencable result ID 5 – AU price series. : Referencable result ID 6 – GFI price series. : Referencable result ID 7 – KGC price series. : Referencable result ID 8 – RGLD price series. : Referencable result ID 9 – AGI price series. : Referencable result ID 10 – EQX price series. : Referencable result ID 11 – IAG price series. : Referencable result ID 12 – HMY price series. : Referencable result ID 13 – NGD price series. : Referencable result ID 16 – BTG price series. : Referencable result ID 18 – AAUC price series. : Referencable result ID 19 – CGAU price series. : Referencable result ID 20 – SA price series. : Referencable result ID 21 – DRD price series. : Referencable result ID 22 – USAS price series. : Referencable result ID 24 – miner resilience metrics table. : Referencable result ID 27 – sorted resilience summary.
