Contact Gold Connects Mineralization from Zulu to Echo

Welcome to Mining Stock Daily. This is your host, Trevor Hall

Today is Monday, the 23rd of November.

 

Gold jumped $10 on Friday while silver gained 32 cents, outperforming gold on a percentage basis by a 2 to 1 margin. The gold/silver ratio dropped back below its 50 day moving average on Friday and appears to be headed lower. The mining stocks per GDX were up a little over 1%. The Mining Stock Journal said it expects gold to make a move back over $1900 after Tuesday's Comex December options expiry. The newsletter noted that, after Tuesday, the market will focus on the December open interest in Comex gold contracts as we head into next Monday's first note date. But delivery notices can be issued starting Friday afternoon. December is the largest delivery month for both gold and silver. If an inordinate amount of longs in both gold and silver stand for delivery it should put upward price pressure on both metals. On another note, the Mining Stock Journal will be reviewing Cabral Gold, which has a highly prospective gold project in Brazil, in the next issue to be released Wednesday afternoon.

 

We’ll get to the news out of the miners and explorers here in just a quick moment, but first a quick mention of today’s sponsor.
