3 Things Warren Buffett Has Said About Gold

Warren Buffett has a formidable reputation as an investor — with a net worth of US$160 billion in May 2025, he’s among the world’s richest people and a business role model for many.

Buffett, who run his company Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A,NYSE:BRK.B) for over 60 years, made waves when he announced in May 2025 that he would be stepping down as CEO at the end of the year, although he will stay on as chairman.

Buffet is also well known for being uninterested in gold. For those wondering Buffett invests in gold, he has made his stance on the yellow metal abundantly clear over the years, and it’s not positive — put simply, he doesn’t think gold fits in with his strategy of value investing, which involves picking stocks that are trading for less than they are worth.

Given Buffett’s aversion to gold, market watchers were understandably surprised when Berkshire Hathaway invested in Barrick Gold (TSX:ABX,NYSE:GOLD) in Q2 2020, paying around US$560 million for about 21 million shares of the major gold miner.

What was behind that decision? Many headlines proclaimed that Buffett had changed his mind on gold. But there were plenty of counterpoints — some suggested that it could have been another person at Berkshire that made the trade and not Buffett himself; others pointed out that there’s a difference between investing in gold and investing in a gold-mining company. Still others noted that Berkshire’s stake in Barrick was relatively small compared to its other holdings.

Ultimately, Buffett and Berkshire's position in Barrick turned out to be a short one. Berkshire Hathaway exited only two quarters later, which was just long enough to reap the rewards of gold's big bump from the COVID-19 crisis. Perhaps the Oracle of Omaha was clued in to the precious metal's status as a safe-haven asset in times of economic uncertainty.

Whatever the reason for the moves at Berkshire, it’s interesting to look back at some of the comments Warren Buffett has made about gold. While he hasn’t spent a huge amount of time discussing gold (after all, he doesn’t like it), he’s spoken enough about it that there’s no mistaking his stance. Here’s a look at three quotes that sum up what Warren Buffett thinks about gold.

Reviving the Walker Lane Trend — Nevada’s Next Golden Frontier

Nevada's Walker Lane Trend is rapidly becoming a prime target for mineral exploration, offering investors a unique blend of proven production history and untapped potential.

The Walker Lane Trend's combination of geological richness, a favorable jurisdiction and strategic importance in North American mineral resources presents a compelling case for investors seeking high-reward opportunities in a relatively low-risk environment.

AngloGold Sells Two African Assets to Resolute Mining

AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE:AU,JSE:ANG)has agreed to sell its interests in two Côte d’Ivoire gold projects to Resolute Mining (ASX:RSG,LSE:RSG) as it hones its focus on its US operating and development assets.

The company said on April 30 that it will sell the Doropo and Archean-Birimian Contact (ABC) projects, both owned by Centamin West Africa Holdings, to Resolute for US$175 million and US$10 million, respectively.

AngloGold acquired an indirect interest in the projects when it acquired Centamin in November 2024.

“This transaction ensures we maintain our focus on disciplined capital allocation and driving efficiencies from our existing portfolio,” said AngloGold Ashanti CEO Alberto Calderon. “It also ensures these projects are in good hands.”

AngloGold said it performed a company review and determined that selling the properties to a company with the requisite operational focus and financial capacity would be the best way to maximize value.

Resolute's focus on Africa made the divestment easier, with the sale having no conditions. The company has producing gold mines in Mali and Senegal, as well as exploration properties in Mali, Senegal and Guinea.

In November 2024, Resolute CEO Terence Holohan and two company executives were detained in Mali due to claims that the company owed US$162 million in back taxes. They were released later that month.
