This Could Set Gold Up for a Rally to $3000

June 21, 2023 - Baystreet.ca


Gold prices could see $3,000 this year, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. All based on the “fear of missing out,” which could dominate gold, especially if we see a severe economic slowdown. "Central-bank accumulation and the potential for a global economic slowdown, on the back of the most aggressive rate-hike period ever, may set the stage for gold to move toward $3,000 an ounce," said Bloomberg Intelligence senior macro strategist Mike McGlone said. That could be a powerful catalyst for Calibre Mining Corp. (TSX: CXB) (OTCQX: CXBMF), Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE: GOLD) (TSX: ABX), Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM) (TSX: NGT), Franco Nevada Corp. (NYSE: FNV) (TSX: FNV), and Royal Gold Inc. (NASDAQ: RGLD).

"Bloomberg Economics' outlook for an ugly 2H may tilt the potential for a gold bull market toward a key catalyst — a stock bear market," they added. "If the 1H rising equity tide is sustained, the Fed is more likely to keep rates elevated. It's the potential for reciprocity to the biggest liquidity pump in history that's now dumping, and may draw parallels to 1929-30, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average initially fell about 50% and bounced about 50% before the Great Depression."

Calibre Mining Corp. announced assay results from the 2023, near-mine discovery, delineation, and resource expansion drill program at its 100% owned Pan Mine (“Pan”), located on the prolific Battle Mountain – Eureka gold trend, Nevada. Results at the Palomino target located immediately south of the open pit operation indicate higher grades than demonstrated at the Pan mine in the current Mineral Resource. The potential exists now to materially increase resource ounces, grade, and confidence south of the Pan mine. The Palomino deposit remains open to the southeast and at shallow depths.

Highlights from the Palomino target include:

- 3.84 g/t Au over 15.2 metres including 4.19 g/t Au over 13.7 metres in Hole PR23-026;

- 2.08 g/t Au over 27.4 metres including 2.67 g/t Au over 19.8 metres in Hole PR23-058;

- 2.02 g/t Au over 27.4 metres including 2.19 g/t Au over 24.38 metres in Hole PR23-030;

- 1.89 g/t Au over 12.2 metres including 2.45 g/t Au over 9.1 metres in Hole PR23-062;

- 1.15 g/t Au over 15.2 metres including 2.44 g/t Au over 3.05 metres in Hole PR23-036;

- 1.09 g/t Au over 25.9 metres in Hole PR23-034;

- 1.02 g/t Au over 27.4 metres including 1.18 g/t Au over 13.72 g/t Au in Hole PR23-037; and

- All drill targets are located near surface in oxidized limestone.

Note: All holes were drilled at angles of -45 to -90 degrees at azimuths designed to intersect targeted structures as nearly as possible to perpendicular when possible. Some drill holes and intercepts reported here did not cross mineralization perpendicularly, and do not represent exact ‘true widths.

Darren Hall, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Calibre stated: “Pan’s average reserve grade is 0.4 g/t gold, therefore these higher-grade near surface results are very encouraging. Although a small amount of material at Palomino exists in the Inferred Resource category, we expect to see substantially more ounces at higher grades. Operationally, given proximity to the current South Pit and this deposit is within our permitted disturbance area, we could act on this as early as next year. Drilling is ongoing at Palomino and will shift to the south in July toward our Coyote discovery made late last year.”

Newmont Corporation announced it will defer the full-funds investment decision for the Yanacocha Sulfides project in Peru (the Project) for at least two years to advance its portfolio optimization strategy designed to maximize returns for shareholders and create long-term value for other stakeholders1. The decision positions Newmont to prioritize other value-accretive opportunities and support its disciplined capital allocation strategy, which balances steady reinvestment in the business, maintaining financial strength and flexibility and providing leading returns to shareholders. “Once complete, our proposed acquisition of Newcrest will create an industry-leading portfolio of Tier 1 operations and deepen our unmatched pipeline of value-accretive projects,” said Tom Palmer, President and CEO of Newmont. “In connection with this transaction and our strategy to create lasting value, we are targeting at least $2 billion in near-term cash flow improvements through portfolio optimization within the first two years. The deferral of the Yanacocha Sulfides project represents the first step in delivering on this target, as we evaluate further opportunities to resequence project capital and rationalize the combined portfolio to build a more profitable and resilient future for the business.”

Franco Nevada Corp. noted that, “Our diversified portfolio continues to generate strong cash flows and high margins. The first quarter was impacted by production disruptions at Cobre Panama and Antapaccay as well as lower energy prices. Stronger precious metal deliveries are anticipated in Q2 with both assets having returned to normal operations. “Cobre Panama’s CP 100 Expansion is on-track for year-end and we look forward to initial contributions from Magino, Se´gue´la and Salares Norte during the year”, commented Paul Brink, CEO. Franco-Nevada is debt-free, is growing its cash balances and has a strong pipeline of growth opportunities.
