City Investors Circle Mining Review 26th May 2024
Another week on the roller coaster ride that constitutes the markets these days, with precious metals taking a fall after their recent strong run, once again because of doubts of any US rate cuts this year, and even the odd rumour that rates may have to rise!
Silver was down nearly 4%, and gold nearly 3% as a result, with platinum and palladium also being hammered. The precious metal ETFs took a real pummelling, down around 4% on average.
Base metals are going in the opposite direction as markets are turning positive about the Chinese economy again, despite plenty of evidence their real estate market is in turmoil and requiring urgent governement support, see HERE.
Iron ore lead the way with a 5% rise, with nickel, copper, and zinc all healthily up.
Where will we be next week I wonder? I’m surprised the Biden camp haven’t tried to force the FED to reduce rates given the forthcoming election and their poor rating in the polls.
Zimbabwe has introduced a gold backed currency, the ZIG, where all the currency issued will be backed by gold reserves.
The IMF have now endorsed the ZIG, see HERE

West Red Lake Gold Mines reported more decent gold intercepts, and Impact Minerals reported they are financed to complete the Lake Hope pre-feasability study.
I bought a small initial investment in Impact Minerals this week as I’m impressed by the steady progress they’re making as a company, and in particular the Lake Hope HPA project, that really does look exciting, and, if it realises its potential, would be a company maker.
