All of which is strongly impacting companies such as Calibre Mining Corp. (TSX: CXB) (OTCQX: CXBMF), Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE: GOLD) (TSX: ABX), Royal Gold Inc. (NASDAQ: RGLD), Franco Nevada Corp. (NYSE: FNV) (TSX: FNV), and Newmont Corp. (NYSE: NEM) (TSX: NGT). For one, investors are flocking to gold, as a safe haven with economic and geopolitical chaos. Two, gold demand is expected to hit another record this year, as central banks continue to buy the safe haven, according to the World Gold Council. “Central-bank buying maintained a breakneck pace, with annual net purchases of 1,037 tons last year, just 45 tons shy of the record set in 2022, the WGC said in the report. It expects central-bank buying to top 500 tons this year,” added Bloomberg. Two, even billionaires are buying gold over concerns of dollar devaluation and the potential for economic collapse. According to The-Sun.com, “Millionaires and elites are hoarding gold as part of their doomsday preparations as they look to barter with it, an expert has revealed. Multiple factors, from cell service outages to the election, have caused an absolute surge in gold sales.” Look at Calibre Mining Corp. (TSX: CXB) (OTCQX: CXBMF), For Example Calibre Mining Corp. just announced drill results from its 2023 exploration and infill drill program at the Volcan Gold Deposit, located approximately five kilometres south of the Libertad mill. Previous results led to the declaration of an initial open pit Mineral Resource Estimate in September of 2023. These new results support advancing toward a mining decision in mid-2024 with permitting ongoing. Highlights from 2023 Volcan drilling include:- 2.05 g/t Au over 5.9 metres Estimated True Width (“ETW”) including 3.48 g/t Au over 1.6 metres ETW in Hole VN-23-170;- 1.87 g/t Au over 12.7 metres ETW including 3.21 g/t Au over 3.6 metres ETW in Hole NV-23-182;- 3.13 g/t Au over 15.0 metres ETW including 6.33 g/t Au over 1.9 metres ETW and including 6.51 g/t Au over 2.7 metres ETW in Hole VN-23-163;- 4.01 g/t Au over 4.8 metres ETW including 6.74 g/t Au over 1.6 metres ETW in Hole VN-23-175;- 15.01 g/t Au over 2.6 metres ETW including 22.90 g/t Au over 1.4 metres ETW in Hole VN-23-171;- 2.51 g/t Au over 9.3 metres ETW including 6.84 g/t Au over 2.5 metres ETW in Hole VN-23-179; and- 6.37 g/t Au over 3.3 metres ETW including 11.87 g/t Au over 1.7 metres ETW in Hole VN-23-187. Note: Estimated True Widths for reported vein intercepts are based on 3D models of the individual veins. Estimates are determined in cross-section by measuring the modelled vein thickness perpendicular to the vein margins and through the midpoint of the drill hole intercept. Percentage based differences between individual ETWs and down-hole interval lengths will vary between drill holes depending on drill hole inclination, variations in vein strike and dip, and overall geometries of the different vein systems. Darren Hall, President and Chief Executive Officer of Calibre, stated: “These drill results at Volcan are encouraging as we aim to expand and confirm the initial open pit Mineral Resource at Volcan. With Volcan having an initial open pit resource averaging 2.0 g/t Au, the 2023 exploration and infill drilling confirms that the deposit can host higher grade, near surface gold mineralization. The Libertad district has produced approximately two million ounces of gold and with consistent exploration Calibre continues to discover new opportunities to expansion resources and extend mine life along this highly prospective trend. Calibre has responsibly demonstrated the value of our hub and spoke operating strategy, with permitting ongoing and Volcan’s proximity to the Libertad mill, we expect the deposit to contribute to the mine plan in the second half of 2024. This reinforces our peer leading “drill to mill” time frame with less than one year separating our initial resource declaration in September of 2023 and anticipated production. Calibre remains on schedule with construction at the Valentine Gold Mine, Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada. The grinding building is now fully enclosed, and the Company has awarded the structural, mechanical, and piping contract to The Gisborne Group.” Link 1 – Figures Link 2 – Drilling Tables Link 3 – Photos – Valentine Gold Mine Construction Updates Other related developments from around the markets include: Barrick Gold Corporation announced that it plans to undertake a new share repurchase program for the buyback of its common shares.
