Wallbridge Drill Results; More Bullfrog District Activity
Welcome to Mining Stock Daily. This is your host, Trevor Hall
Today is Tuesday, May 19th.
After trading up to as high as $1775 June futures basis during Australian, Asian and European trading hours overnight Monday, gold was ambushed in the paper market starting 20 minutes ahead of the commencement of Comex floor trading hours. The Mining Stock Journal confirms that a 2-sigma surge in volume starting a 8 a.m. EST representing a massive unloading of paper contracts into the Globex system caused a fishing line formation on the chart. The newsletter commented that, with the banks still in a large money-losing net short position in Comex paper, they had no choice but to try and force the price lower after Fed Chairman Jay Powell admitted on Sunday night the Fed was willing to go Weimar with the money supply to prevent a market collapse. The Mining stock Journal expects gold to bounce quickly from this paper attack. Conversely, silver continued to surge in price, jumping over 2% on Monday, with silver mining stocks generically popping 8-10%. The gold silver ratio, which has been gapping down in step function, dropped below 100 for the first time since mid-March. Finally, per GDX the larger cap mining stocks were down only 1.75%, indicating that mining stock investors understand the decline in gold was artificial. Plus most junior exploration stocks were green on the day. The editor of the Mining Stock Journal, Dave Kranzler, commented that the mining stocks are so undervalued right now that it makes his head hurt thinking about it.
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.

Corvus Gold says it has initiated geophysical surveys throughout the Mother Lode trend to integrate district scale data into its belt-wide exploration models. The greatly expanded survey as well as other ongoing regional studies and data compilations are designed to effectively and efficiently unlock the significant potential for new discoveries across the belt and throughout the greater Bullfrog Gold District. In addition, Corvus has expanded its land position east of AngloGold Ashanti’s new Silicon discovery and north of a new large claim block recently staked by Kinross Gold. Activity in the belt and the Bullfrog District in general is rapidly expanding with new claim staking and new Plan of Operations permits filed for large drilling programs by Corvus, AngloGold Ashanti and Coeur Mining.

Fiore Gold has shared an updated mineral resource estimate for its Golden Eagle Project in Ferry County, Washington. The company says Golden Eagle hosts 2 million ounces of a measured and indicated resource. The updated Golden Eagle mineral resource estimate is based solely on the available historical data and is intended to provide a baseline from which to continue developing the project. The Republic/Eureka Mining District has produced nearly 4 million ounces of gold at an average grade of 19.89 grams per tonne gold over the last 130 years, principally from high grade underground narrow vein deposits. The last operating gold mine in the district was Kinross' Buckhorn/Kettle River operation which closed in 2017. Fiore Gold trades on the TSX Venture with F and on the OTCQB with FIOGF. News Release
