Gold, the oft-viewed safe-haven precious metal, has been having quite a year. Some of the major gold miners, including Franco Nevada Corp. (TSX:FNV) (NYSE:(FNV), Newcrest Mining Ltd. (TSX:NCM)(ASX:NCM), and Newmont Corp.(TSX:NGT) (NYSE:NEM), have been expanding their project portfolios quickly as the global economic reopening continues. These stocks have always been at the top of the list for investors looking for long term exposure to gold. Gold stocks have typically been a great way for investors to gain exposure to the yellow metal. 

Companies engaged in exploration, mining, and trading often have good returns and revenues. The past year has seen the VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) underperform the broad market in the last 12 months, but the 11.8% return was more than solid. It is only against the backdrop of a 46.2% gain for the iShares Russell 1000 ETF or the S&P 500 that comparisons lose steam.
