Gold Continues its Downward Slide
Welcome to Mining Stock Daily. This is your host, Trevor Hall
Today is Wednesday, September 23rd.
Gold and silver spent another day going through the paper manipulation grinder in advance of the testimony to the House Financial Services Committee by Treasury Secretary Mnuchin and Fed Head Powell on the effectiveness of the Government's stimulus in response to the virus crisis. Though the metals managed to shrug off an overnight price take-down by spiking up after the Comex opened, another paper beat-down was applied as the Mnuchin/Powell smoke-blowing session commenced. Gold settled down about $3 from Monday while silver squeaked out a 14 cent gain. On a positive note, December gold once again managed to close over $1900, which for now seems to be stout support. The mining stocks closed slightly green after enduring a high degree of intra-day volatility. Until proven otherwise, the Mining Stock Journal maintains the view that the precious metals sector is coiling for a big move higher sometime between now and mid-October.
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.
This episode of Mining Stock Daily is brought to you by… Rio2.
Rio2 is advancing the Fenix Gold Project in Chile, the largest undeveloped gold heap leach project in the Americas. Fenix consists of 5 million ounces in the measured and indicated resource category and 1.4 million ounces in the inferred resource category. With a robust PFS in place, Fenix is set up for fast-tracked construction and production. You can find a list of project and company information on their website, rio2.com.
And here’s what you need to know this morning.
GoGold Resources released the first assay results from the Company's Salomon-Favor target on the Los Ricos North project, which is located approximately 5km southeast of the La Trini deposit. The drill program is testing the known zones of mineralization along strike and down dip from the historical underground workings. Initial drill intersections returned 529 g/t silver equivalent over 11 meters and 737 g/t silver equivalent over 5 meters. With the completion of a C$34.5 million financing last week, GoGold says they have the funds to explore aggressively and drill multiple targets at Los Ricos North simultaneously, including La Trini and Salomon-Favor, and move the project to an initial resource estimate by the second calendar quarter of 2021. GoGold Resources trades on the TSX with GGD and on the OTCQX with GLGDF. News Release

Mineralization at the A Zone has been extended 50 m to the east, 100 m to west, and 100 m down dip confirming the continuity of the geological structure and the integrity of the geological model.

The program will be completed through the remainder of 2020 with the objective being to upgrade current mineral resource estimates and continue the expansion and exploration of mineralization across the Troilus property, following the discovery of the Southwest Zone (“SWZ”) earlier this year. Troilus trades on the TSX with TLG and on the OTCQB with CHXMF. News Release
NuLegacy Gold says it has received final approval from the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) of a modified Plan of Operations (“POP”) on its 100% controlled Red Hill gold project in the Carlin gold-trend of Nevada. With this permit approval, the planned Phase One exploration drill program of the highly prospective Rift Anticline target can commence. NuLegacy has identified three high-priority drill targets in the northern half of the Rift Anticline and three additional targets extending south along a north northwest-oriented corridor measuring 5.5 km long and up to 1.2 km wide. NuLegacy plans to drill three to five core holes in the most developed targets commencing mid-October. NuLegacy
