Morning Briefing: Snowline Gold Publishes Initial Mineral Resource Estimate for Valley
Welcome to Mining Stock Daily. I’m Trevor Hall.
Today is Monday, June 17th.
Gold rose $25 last week, driven by demand in the physical market from the east, rising geopolitical tensions, and an expectation that the Fed could start cutting rates soon. In addition, gold is technically oversold based on the RSI and MACD momentum indicators, which increases the odds that the next meaningful move will be higher. Silver fell slightly for the week, as it continues to work off an overbought technical condition. The MACD is almost oversold and the RSI looks to be turning higher from a neutral reading. Silver also bounced up from its 50 day moving average. The mining stocks were down marginally, with GDX down 13 basis points for the week. GDX's MACD is now showing an oversold condition. The Mining Stock Journal commented that it expects the precious metals sector to drift higher over the next several weeks despite the fact that the sector is entering a seasonally weak period.
We’ll get to the news from the miners and explorers here in a moment, but first a quick word about today’s sponsor.
This episode of Mining Stock Daily is brought to you by… Victoria Gold.
Victoria Gold operates the Eagle Gold Mine within the Dublin Gulch Property. Eagle is the largest gold mine in Yukon's long history of gold production. In addition to the long-life Eagle Gold Mine, the Dublin Gulch property has upsized exploration potential including priority targets Raven and Lynx among others.

And here’s what you need to know this morning….
Snowline Gold reported its initial Mineral Resource Estimate for the Valley Deposit in Yukon. That reports shows an Indicated Mineral Resources of 76 million tonnes (Mt) at 1.66 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) for 4.05 million ounces (Moz) gold in addition to Inferred Mineral Resources of 81 Mt at 1.25 g/t Au for 3.26 million ounces gold using a 0.4 g/t Au cut-off grade. The estimate is based on 27,911 metres (m) drill data from all 68 holes at Valley available prior to the commencement of Snowline's ongoing 2024 drill campaign. Work is underway to expand on the initial MRE, which supports Snowline's view that Valley has encouraging potential to host a long-life, high-quality gold mine. News Release
Aldebaran Resources reported results for three holes drilled into the Altar copper-gold project in San Juan, Argentina. All three holes intercepted significant mineralization and expanded the mineralized footprint, with ALD-24-243 intercepting one of the longest contiguous runs of mineralization encountered on the property to date. That hole returned 1,517m of .55% CuEq, including 227m of .79% CuEq. It also extended the mineralized porphyry to the north, well beyond previous interpretations.

Bluestone Resources says the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources of Guatemala (MARN) has notified the Company that it is challenging the approval procedure that approved the environmental permit amendment for the Cerro Blanco gold project. This permit amendment approval, that was received in January 2024, changed the mining method from the existing permitted underground development to surface mining development. The Company is currently evaluating the legal aspects of the notification. (TSXV: BSR) (OTCQB: BBSRF) News Release
Adventus Mining and Salazar Resources says the Ministry of Environment, Water, and Ecological Transition of Ecuador ("MAATE") has granted Administrative Authorization over Public Hydric Domain for the Curipamba - El Domo project. This key permit allows the Project to carry out planned construction activities in accordance with the technical requirements stipulated in the Water Resources Law. With this approval, the last main step prior to the start of construction is the receipt of the final document outlining the transition from the medium scale exploration to exploitation phase. However, a constitutional protective action was filed by an Ecuadorian NGO which requests the environmental license be rendered void alleging non-compliance with the Environmental Consultation process, despite what the Participants believe to be ample well-documented evidence to the contrary. The Project obtained the environmental license for the mine's construction and operation phase in January. The parties involved in El Domo believe MAATE as strong evidence to refute the allegations.
