Gold mining basket companies on LSE

Greeting MSEs
So I am interested in Gold mining companies that trade on the London Stock Exchange (especially as a group of them or commonly know as a "baskets"). I am interested in them because I would like to see how stable the share price have been say over the last 100 years compared to gold its self and to see what kind of dividend ends they have paid out of say the last 100 years
So a few suggestions of some companies you could buy into would be great!
Thanks

I’ve held and topped up Centamin (CEY) for a while0

I've not come across basket companies before. If you want a group of companies, have you considered a fund instead?

I think that's going to be very tricky. I can't think of many mining companies that have been around for 100 years as the same listed entity - there's been a lot of M&A activity over the decades and gold-only miners are fewer still.NoseyParkersHelper said:Gold mining companies that trade on the London Stock Exchange...I am interested in them because I would like to see how stable the share price have been say over the last 100 years compared to gold its self and to see what kind of dividend ends they have paid out of say the last 100 years1 -

2. 50-odd years
3. Twice a year, fairly small dividends but reasonable in relation to the stock cost: https://www.dividendmax.com/united-kingdom/london-stock-exchange/mining/centamin-plc/dividends
I can't help with the graphs or any implied or otherwise correlation with gold commodity price, but at least it gives you something to compare. I can however pinpoint that the nice surprise bump on the Centamin stock price about three or so weeks ago was after some takeover news.0 -
It hasn't been around 100 years I don't think but the OP could look at Barrick Gold, $34.8b market cap, 1.99% dividend yield paid quarterly, but it's listed in New York (GOLD.N) and Toronto (ABX.T, primary listing). The data on my charts goes back to 1985.k12479 said:

I think he'll find there isn't a great correlation - I'm guessing the OP's hoping for a leveraged play on the gold price. After all, mining companies have all of the operational problems of mines...

The iShares Global Gold Miners ETF should give the OP some ideas - take a look at its holdings e.g., Newmont, Kinrossi Gold Corp, Barrick Gold, Wheaton Precious Metals.

So they only pay you 2.3% a year right?

But I have had a short look at the link and I dont understand on it where it states "Holding". I mean the page hardly works and keeps crashing the machine
Where dose it state what it pays out in divid ends per year?

So your saying that Barrick Gold is a mining company and pay near 2% dividends per quarter. 8% a year right?wmb194 said:

Yer I was looking for something that would kind of match gold prices and pay out a small proffit. What is the point in harding gold (meal money) under the matterass if you cant make any profit out of using it somehow0
