(NAPSA)—There’s good news for the growing number of investors who are looking for a way to benefit from the increase in the price of gold. “Going for the gold” no longer means they have to buy actual bullion or coins if they wantto invest in gold. The last few years have seen an increase in the numberof choices available to investors who want to invest in gold. They can also invest in gold-related securities, exchange-traded funds and bank notes that are backed bygold. Exploration and Mining Worldwide, gold continues to be discovered, with recent big strikes in South Africa, the Yukon and in Colombia. And so another option that somefind attractive is to invest in companies that specialize in exploration and mining opera- tions. Some say that there are a number of mining companies that remain undervalued and maypresent a buying opportunity. For example, Mercer Gold Corporation (OTCQB: MRGP, Frankfurt: AN4) is a company that targets bulk-tonnage, gold and silver deposits that are amenable to open pit mining as well as higher-grade gold-silver mineralization that can be drawn out with selective underground mining techniques. Colombian-Based Operations Founded in 2010, the company’s focus of explorations has been and will continue to be in what is known as the Guayabales Gold Project. This is located in the Marmato Gold District in Caldas, Colombia. Historically, Colombia has been one of the largest gold producers in the world, and the Colombian mining industry remains one of the most dynamic and promising sectors of the Colombian economy. An option that some find attractive is to invest in companies that specialize in exploration and gold mining operations. Recently, the firm announced that it had received confirmation of positive results of both gold and silver values from one of its operations in the MarmatoDistrict.
