Today's Morning Briefing from MSD
Welcome to Mining Stock Daily. I’m Paul Harris.
Today is Thursday, March 24th.
We don’t have a commentary from the Mining Stock Journal today, but gold has started today well by pushing over US$1,950 per ounce.
We will get to the news from the miners and explorers in a moment, but first a word about today’s sponsor.
This episode of Mining Stock Daily is brought to you by… Arizona Sonoran Copper Company.
Arizona Sonoran Copper Company is a lower-risk copper developer with a significant exploration potential on private land just south of Pheonix, in an infrastructure rich area of Arizona. The Cactus Project PEA illustrates an 18 year mine life, generating US$1 Billion post-tax free cash flow. It is a scalable, low capital intensity project with strong leverage to the copper price. The Company is led by an executive management team and Board which have a long-standing track record of successful project delivery in North America complemented by global capital markets expertise.

And here’s what you need to know this morning….
GCM Mining completed updated mineral resource and reserve estimates for its Segovia Operations in Antioquia, Colombia with a measured and indicated resource increasing to 4.6 million tonnes grading 11 grams per tonne for 1.62 million ounces of gold, up 14% from last years estimate. Inferred resources to 4.6Mt grading 11.6g/t for 1.7Moz, up 41% compared to last year. The company more than replaced the resources it mined in 2021 representing the sixth consecutive year that it has done so at its Segovia Operations. El Silencio and Sandra K were the primary areas of growth within the 2021 estimate. The brownfield exploration program, which focused on exploration for new resources at the brownfield exploration targets on the 24 veins within the Segovia mining title that are not currently in production, yielded its first addition to the estimate with inferred resources reported at the Vera project. Segovia’s reserves are now 2.3Mt grading 10.1g/t for 745,000oz proven and probable compared with 2.2Moz grading 9g/t for 633,000oz a year ago. GCM Mining trades on the TSX under GCM and on the OTCQX under TPRFF. News release
Western Copper and Gold announced assay results from the remaining 13 holes of the 2021 diamond drilling program at its Casino copper-gold project in Yukon, Canada. The program, developed with input from Rio Tinto, comprised 6,075m in 22 holes. Drilling in the deposit core area confirmed its importance to the overall Casino resource with long intercepts of higher grades than the average resource grades in the leached cap, supergene and hypogene zones with a highlight of 300.23m interval grading 0.70% copper equivalent including a 21m sub-interval grading 1.50% copper equivalent in hole 13 the hypogene zone. Western Copper and Gold trades on the TSX and NYSE American under WRN. News release
New Found Gold hit another eye-catching intercept as it reported assay results from 23 diamond drill holes designed to expand the high-grade gold mineralization at the Golden Joint and Lotto discoveries north of the Keats Zone at its Queensway project in Newfoundland, Canada. A highlight of 14.2m grading 69.15 grams per tonne gold at Golden Joint in hole 462 means the high-grade vein is now defined over a strike length of 250m and to a vertical depth of 300m. At Lotto, the main high-grade gold vein has been extended to a vertical depth of 225m with the intercept of 2.2m grading 24.25g/t in hole 367A and over a strike length of 200m. New Found Gold trades on the TSXV under NFG and on the NYSE American under NFGC. News release
Moneta Gold released the assay results from 10drill holes at Garrcon, from the Garrison area of its Tower gold project near Timmins in Ontario, Canada as part of a 72,500m program in 130 drill holes designed to test extensions of the current mineral resource estimate. The results released today designed to test both the open pit and underground resource expansion potential at Garrcon, confirmed gold mineralization over a strike length of 750m and width of 500m in step-out drilling beyond the current resource. Highlights included 67m grading 3.05 grams per tonne in hole 005, including 38.5m grading 4.85g/t. The company said that gold mineralization was intercepted as both high grade and wide zones, and has the potential to expand the current Garcon open pit resource, and add an underground resource at higher grades. The Garrison deposits currently occur as starter pits in the early years of development with outcropping gold mineralization at high grades and a low strip ratio. Moneta Gold trades on the TSX under ME and on the OTCQX under MEAUF. News release
Wallbridge Mining completed 1,800m of underground development to provide direct access to the Area 51 zone of the Fenelon gold property in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt Quebec, Canada. Preliminary results of tightly spaced underground drilling, geologic mapping and grade control sampling have confirmed the geological modeling and interpretation derived from surface drilling. This includes confirmation of a robust network of mineralized veins with strong continuity over a wide section of more than 30m, with grade continuity meeting or exceeding expectations for Area 51. After establishing underground access, three infill drill holes for 649m were completed at a 25m spacing to target the Interstellar 03 Zone with assay results of 25.35m grading 2.23 grams per tonne gold, including 2.85m grading 11.77g/t in hole 003. Wallbridge Mining trades on the TSX under WM and on the OTCQX under WLBMF. News release
ValOre Metals reported an updated inferred mineral resource estimate its Pedra Branca platinum group elements project in northeastern Brazil. The inferred resource is 63.6 million tonnes grading 1.08 grams per tonne platinum, palladium and gold for 2.2Moz, a 106% increase compared with the 2019 resource. The company said extensive resource growth potential remains at Massapê, Santo Amaro, Trapia, and Cedro, in addition to advanced exploration targets across the property. ValOre Metals trades on the TSXV under VO and on the OTC under KVLQF. News release
