Precious Metal Academy is an independent editorial publication covering gold, silver, platinum and palladium — for investors, historians, miners, jewellers, and the curious.
We started the Academy because the precious-metals press had become a stack of price tickers wearing the costume of journalism. There was no shortage of headlines about gold and silver. There was a shortage of research — slow, sourced, careful writing about how these markets actually work.
That is the gap we set out to fill. Every article on this site is reported from primary sources, edited against a checklist that has been refined for nine years, and signed by a named author with disclosed positions. We publish less than the wire services do. We try to be right more often.

Every figure passes a desk check before publication. We correct on the record, in public, with the time and reason of the change attached to the article.
Our work draws on primary sources — central-bank releases, mining company filings, and on-the-record interviews. We do not republish wire copy.
