New Drill Results from Corvus and Marathon

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

Today is Wednesday, April 15th.

The gold price traded as high as $1790 on Tuesday before an aggressive attack in the Comex paper market ahead of the p.m. price fix in London sheared over $30 off the paper market price. That said, gold closed $7 higher on Tuesday when using the close of the NYSE to measure a closing price. The Mining Stock Journal commented that Tuesday's market activity across the board was dominated by a risk-on theme and likely it was easy for the gold price management team to get the hedge fund algos to switch into sell mode with hedge fund paper gold positions. Silver on the other hand was up close to 4%, trading over $16 and closing just above its 50 day moving average. The gold/silver ratio dropped over 3% and appears to be ready to head a lot lower. The Mining Stock Journal commented that, even though gold still closed higher than Monday, the huge sell-off from the $1790 high could be looked at as part of a healthy price correction and ultimately sets the stage for a big move higher. The newsletter also noted that the mining stocks, per the GDX ETF, are up 62% since March 13th and some sort of pullback would be a healthy set-up for the next move higher.

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.
