Mining Review 18th May 2025

Orla Mining’s Q1 loss disappointed the market and the shares were marked down harshly as a result.

West Red Lake Gold Mining is ramping up to production and the share price is stirring at last.

Westgold and G Mining Ventures both released decent results, bit share prices fell due to the falling price of gold.

 

——-

 

Gold had a poor week as a risk on attitude returned to the markets, but did hold onto the $3,200 level just, but may well fall below next week.

US economic data looked better, but inflation fears remain and Trump is focused on reducing interest rates, which will be bullish for gold.

Orla Mining’s Q1 Loss Disappoints the Market

 

 

Orla Mining (TSX: OLA)

Published Q1 figures that disappointed the market as the Musselwhite costs increased the loss on a short term basis.

Record quarterly gold production of 47,759 ounces and total quarterly gold sold of 46,356 ounces at an AISC of $850 for Camino Rojo only.

 

First Quarter 2025 Highlights

  • Record quarterly gold production of 47,759 ounces and total quarterly gold sold of 46,356 ounces (pre-released). First quarter all-in sustaining cost1 (“AISC”) was $845 per ounce of gold sold (Camino Rojo operations only).
  • Acquisition of Musselwhite completed; integration process advancing.
  • Updated 2025 production and AISC guidance, inclusive of Musselwhite, is 280,000 to 300,000 ounces of gold produced and $1,300 to $1,500 per ounce gold sold, respectively.2 With first quarter production and costs, Orla is currently on plan to achieve full year guidance.
  • Musselwhite investment of $115.0 million of exploration and capital to enhance future growth profile.
  • Net loss for the first quarter was $69.8 million or $(0.22) per share, driven by the fair value adjustments on our financial instruments arising from the Musselwhite acquisition.
  • Adjusted earnings1 for the first quarter were $38.6 million or $0.12 per share.
  • Cash flow from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital during the first quarter was $401.2 million driven by the proceeds received from the gold prepayment3.
  • Exploration and project expenditure1 was $15.8 million during the quarter, of which $6.9 million was capitalized and $8.9 million was expensed.
  • The Company ended the period with a cash balance of $184.2 million and $450 million in debt.

.

.

.

–       Jason Simpson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Orla commented

“We are proud of the continued consistency from our team in Mexico where the Camino Rojo Mine remains a strong cash flow generator.

 

“This quarter also marked a major milestone with the closing of the Musselwhite acquisition, expanding our presence in Canada, and increasing our annual gold production guidance to 280 – 300 thousand ounces.

 

“Over the next two quarters, our focus will be on integrating Musselwhite, laying the foundation for long-term success. Over the next 24 months and beyond, we plan to invest significantly in exploration and provide our new team with the resources to reshape Musselwhite beyond 2030.

 

“Our next step of growth will be driven by our U.S. team, where we continue to advance the South Railroad Project in Nevada through permitting and toward construction.”

Mining Review 4th May 2025

It was a calmer week on the markets but with a falling gold price gold producers took some large hits eroding some of the recent gains.

US economic news suggested a rate cut may come soon, but the price of gold fell, along with most base metals.

 

——-

.

Meeka Metals announced the production of first gold from their St. Anne’s North open pit, in the Murchison region of Western Australia. The company are preparing for the commissioning of their mill in June.

The main news of the week was the announcement by Calibre Mining that shareholders have approved the takeover by Equinox Gold. I felt the premium offered was still too small and maintained my no vote, but I guess both companies did just enpough to get sufficient no votes to switch.

G Mining Ventures kept up their recent run of good news by announcing a robust Feasibility for the Oko West project in Guyana.

As the week ended Gold Road shares were suspended from trading on the ASX, and the rumour is Gold Fields have increased their original bid for the company. I suspect this offer may be accepted due to the trading halt, as if they were going to reject it they could simply do so without halting the stock.

Mining Review 27th April 2025

Capricorn Metals dominated the news this week, first by announing the CEO has stood down whilst he contests a case of assault, and then the company announced a new land acquisition near Mt. Gibson.

The stock was punished severely for the CEO assault announcement, despite him saying he is going to contest the case. This was a great shame as the sock had built up wuite a bot of momentum, and this surprise announcement has stopped the rise for now.

We iniated coverage of Minerals 260 in our tier 2 watchlist.

BPM Minerals published a disappointing drill result near Capricorn’s Mt. Gibson project, and is now searching for new targets in the area.

Comment

Just when Capricorn had become the darling of the market and risen over the A$10 mark, this news comes totally out of the blue to knock it back down again!

The gold price took a dive yesterday, which would account for a few percent of the fall.

To be perfectly honest, I think the 11% fall in the share prices last night is way too harsh, as the company is still mining the same gold at the same price, and exploration prospects have not changed one iota.

Clearly this allegation does not stand the CEO in a good light, but at this stage it’s only an allegation, and everyone is innocent until proven guilty.

With the experienced MD standing in as temporary CEO I see no reason why it shouldn’t be business as usual for Capricorn.

It just goes to prove once again that you can’t take anything for granted in investing, and that’s why I always recommend a diversified portfolio.

City Investors Circle Mining Review 20th April 2025

,

The price of gold reached a new high and settled up around 2%. All the precious metals rose, with silver rising nearly 5%.

Calibre Mining and Orla Mining announced record production and at lower gold prices than the current level.

Awalé Resources reported more high-grade gold strikes in the Ivory Coast.

Producing gold miners generally had a good week as the market seems to be finally recognising the revenue now being earned at the higher gold price. The good results being reported now are at a lower gold price than currently, so if this price remains or increases the next set of results will be spectacular.

This result brings year to date production to 84,860 ounces, putting Capricorn in an excellent position to achieve the mid-point of FY25 guidance of 110,000 – 120,000 ounces at a cost guidance range of $1,370 – $1,470 per ounce.

Capricorn Metals Production on guidance and on track

 

 

.
Capricorn Metals Limited (ASX: CMM) (Capricorn or the Company) is pleased to provide a preliminary update on the quarterly production at the Karlawinda Gold Project (KGP).

KGP delivered another strong quarter of operations, producing 30,599 ounces of gold.

This result brings year to date production to 84,860 ounces, putting Capricorn in an excellent position to achieve the mid-point of FY25 guidance of 110,000 – 120,000 ounces.

AISC is also expected to be within the FY25 cost guidance range of $1,370 – $1,470 per ounce.

——-

Gold production for the quarter was driven by a sustained emphasis on total material
movement from the Bibra open pit, allowing the budgeted pit face positions to be met for the fourth consecutive quarter. This effort has delivered the steady increase in gold production quarter on quarter, aligning with expectations for a robust second half of FY25.

Pleasingly, the efficient mining performance in the main pit enabled the expediting of pre-stripping operations ahead of schedule at the Southern Corridor extension, further mitigating risks associated with the transition to the expanded project.

Full operational and cost details will be provided in the Quarterly Report later in April 2025.

The Company’s cash and gold on hand at the end of the March 2025 quarter was
$404.6 million (Dec24: $363.1m). This represents a cash build of $57.6 million for the quarter (Dec24: $31.2m) before total capital expenditure of $16.1 million at the Mt Gibson Gold Project.

Mining Review 13th April 2025

What a wonderful week for the gold price and producing gold miners. The price of gold soared 6.61% in US dollars, as the dollar fell due to Trump’s tariffs.

Share prices of gold miners responded spectacularly is some cases, with G Mining Ventures, Calibre Mining, and Gold Road rising to new highs, to name but three.

City Investors Circle Mining Review 13th April 2025

 

Mining Review 13th April 2025

What a wonderful week for the gold price and producing gold miners.

The price of gold soared 6.61% in US dollars, as the dollar fell due to Trump’s tariffs, and continued to fall even after most tariffs were delayed by ninety days as the US bond market reacted in fear.

Trump is trying to remove Wall Street’s power, a battle I think he will lose as the financiers have the tools to make the economy sink very quickly if they want to, a lesson he may now be learning to his cost.

——-

 

Share prices of gold miners responded spectacularly is some cases, with G Mining Ventures, Calibre Mining, and  Gold Road Resources rising to new highs, to name but three.

The news event of the week was Wesdome Gold’s bid for Angus, two stocks that we cover.

This deal makes a lot of sense as Angus hold strategic ground close to Wesdome’s, and givesWesdome domination of the district, with the financial resources to exploit it.

——-

 

My decision to ditch my explorers and focus on producing gold miners a year ago is bearing fruit, and I am sticking with it save for a couple of introductory small purchases of a couple of explorers that I think may turn out to be profitable over the longer term.

The latest purchase was Power Metals (PNPN.V) which has sunk a bit since my initial purchase, highlighting the risk of buying at the end of a European roadshow!  I invest for the longer term so I’m not concerned about a small drop.

I have added to my 2025 ISA and already added to my holding in West Red Lake Gold Mines. I did this despite my disappointment at the recent CAD$20 million flow through placing with a full warrant, as I feel that once they commence production, this will rerate if the current record high gold price continues.

——-

 

It’s a great feeling looking at the portfolio every day when shares are rising in price, let’s hope this continues for a good while yet, we gold investors have had some lean years to make up for!

Barton Gold Monthly Update

The company has been very active, the trading volume and the share price has been rising.

Comment

I have followed the Barton Gold story for a couple of years and hold CEO Alex Scanlon in high regard.

Barton have just announced the Tolmer silver discovery, which was totally unexpected, and was probably the reason for the recent run up in volume traded and share price.

The story is becoming more compelling and I am looking to top up my existing holding as the new ISA year has just started.

The post below is the note sent to shareholders by the CEO.

 

——-

 

 

Barton Gold Wrap Up (March 2025)

 

Click to view Barton’s ASX Announcements
From the Desk of the CEO

Dear Investors & Colleagues,

Apologies in advance – this is a bit longer than usual with everything going on!

It has been an extraordinary month for Barton as we continue marching toward our objective to become South Australia’s largest independent gold producer. Against a difficult and volatile backdrop of markets and geopolitics, Barton is primed to benefit through both a shift to ‘producer’ status, and record high gold prices over A$5,000/oz.

Looking back

Several key announcements over the past month have seen BGD shares surge to new record highs. These include a few pleasant surprises, and acceleration of commercial opportunities that we have been diligently advancing for the past few years:

While most of our announcements are baked over years of strategic planning and execution, the Tolmer silver discovery was indeed a surprise find in the goldfield.

An intersection of 6m @ 4,747g/t Ag (28,482 gram-meters) is among the highest ever reported in Australia, and ranks alongside globally renowned silver jurisdictions.

Some things – like Half Year profits – just don’t happen with ‘juniors’, and garnered much attention along with our declared intention to restart ‘Stage 1’ operations from 2026. We are honoured to have featured in the weekly column of industry legend Barry FitzGerald, and to discuss our many upcoming plans with Jess Fertig of Small Caps.

Edison Research also increased its BGD price target to $0.77 – 1.11, and up to $6.15 on the successful delivery of our future ‘Stage 2’ plans. Finally, Collins Street Asset Management increased its BGD position to 14.1% through on-market purchases.

This has generated a great deal of enthusiasm at conferences this week and last, with over 100 investors joining our register, more than 5% of our issued equity traded, and significant excess demand driving BGD to a new high of $0.415. 

.
Coming up
The market has risen to meet our long-term strategy, and Barton is accelerating commercialisation of both its ‘Stage 1’ platform (from 2026) and its ‘Stage 2’ Tunkillia project. Our Central Gawler Mill is a significant leverage point, providing a short, lower-cost/risk pathway to ‘Stage 1’ operations, a re-rating to ‘producer’, and cash flow to fund Tunkillia’s development and our growth to a 150,000oz / annum gold producer.Key catalysts during the next few months will include:

  • an accelerated Tunkillia Optimised Scoping Study (previously a 30 June target), where we expect materially reduced power costs and improved economics;
  • the accelerated start of Tunkillia’s early feasibility and development programs, including ML environmental studies and Resource upgrades;
  • details of our plans for ‘Stage 1’ operations at our Central Gawler Mill; and
  • updated Resource calculations for our ‘Stage 1’ Tarcoola Perseverance Mine. 

We also have 2,230m of Tolmer drilling assays pending, including holes testing fresh rock below the 6m @ 4,747g/t Ag interval sitting in transitional mineralisation – if silver extends into the fresh rock, it will be a very exciting result.

Noting the current volatility in markets, we are well positioned to navigate through, and prosper, in environment of increased global uncertainty and record gold prices. As of 13 January Barton had $9.2m cash. We continue to make judicious use of these resources, and have multiple further asset monetisation opportunities to hand.

We have some very exciting months ahead. Stay tuned for a great deal more news.

Regards,

Alexander Scanlon
Managing Director & CEO

City Investors Circle Mining Review 6th April 2025

It’s been a horrible week for investors in the markets as Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs turned the markets upside down.

The price of gold is down modestly, but some of my gold producers have fallen far more.

After a storming month in March it’s painful to have to give back some of the gains just as the producing gold miners had built up a head of steam and looked to be finally responding to the high gold price.

The only consolation is that the price of gold is still 8% above where it was a month ago, despite the recent drop.

Silver lost a whopping 13.21% last week!   This has taken the gold / silver ratio over 100, the first time since 2021 it’s been over 100.

It’s no great shock that the base metals went into meltdown either, copper down n enormous 14% in a week is still a shock though.

——-

 

Amongt the compnies we follow on our watchlists, there was generally good news despite it not being reflected in their share prices.

Meeka Metals announced a positve development uodate as well as somme high-grade drill results from ther Murchison property.

Cabral Gold continues to pump out some good drill intercepts, 3m at 15.9 gpt is nice in gram metre terms.

Cornish Metals acquired some land that wil be useful for their minesite support infrestructure. The company is very quiet on shaft refurbishment and dewatering news though.

Calibre Mining Buyout Opposed by Van Eck

Calibre Mining (TSX: CXB)

Van Eck, Calibre Mining’s top shareholder at 8.9% as per a recent declaration, is opposing the takeover of Calibre by Equinox Gold.

I wholeheartedly agree with their opposition, and wonder if their lead will be followed by other institutional investors?

Comment

I have been a shareholder of Calibre Mining for a few years, firstly after they took over Fiore Gold where I was a shareholder, and then they took over Marathon Gold Corp., where again I was a shareholder.

Marathon were struggling to complete the construction of the Valentine Gold Mine in Newfoundland due to financial constraints, so Calibre offered a route to production without massive dilution.

Equinox Gold recently announced they are acquiring Calibre in an all-share deal with no premium for Calibre shareholders.

I am very pleased to hear that Van Eck is oposing the Equinox Gold buyout of Calibre Mining, because I too think this is a bad deal for Calibre shareholders, of which I’m still one.

Van Eck shares my concerns, and it is not only the largest Calibre shareholder at 8.9%, it is also a large shareholder of Equinox Gold! 

Imaru Casanova, a portfolio manager for Van Eck Associates Corp., said that the merger “dilutes the quality and potential” of Calibre Mining.

With such an influential shareholder of both companies opposing the deal, this could get very interesting if other institutions agree.

 

——-

 

My main concerns

Equinox Gold’s huge debt of around $1.48 billion (source) that Calibre shareholders will end up partly repaying through profits from their operations.

No premium was offered.

The deal results in a mish mash of mines and projects spread over a number of countries. Interestingly this is one of the principal objections raised by Van Eck.

I feel the commencement of production at Valentine would have rerated the stock, hence Equinox’s opportunistic approach now before the CXB price moved upwards.

 

——-

 

In conclusion, I think this deal benefits Equinox shareholders at the expense of Calibre shareholders, and I too will be voting against when the time comes. My hope is that Van Eck’s objections will lead to other institutional objections, over 33% is required to prevent the transaction going ahead.

I did speak to a couple of people from the company at PDAC, and expressed my concerns, and they tried to convince me that with the current price of gold and when 900,000 ounces of annual production is achieved, the debt will be paid off quickly.

This may be so, but without this deal Calibre would have been banking money from Valentine from the word go, which when added to Nicaraguan production, and Nevada, would have created a huge cash pile for either shareholder dividends or acquisitions of their own.

City Investors Circle Mining Review 16th March 2025

 

Gold briefly touched $3,000 before retracing slightly, as the US continues to suck in gold from around the world. One theory is this is because US banks have to comply with Basel 3 by mid-year, and are importing gold to cover bullion they leased out years ago.

Most precious and base metals ended the week higher after yet another positive stimulus message from the Chinese governement.

Mining Review

 

A busy week with Awale Resources, Cabral Gold, Meeka Metals and Ora Banda Mining all releasing positive drill results.

Awale have recorded some of the highest grades in Africa in the last year and high-grade discoveries continue to be made on very prospective land in the Ivory Coast.

Cabral have been quiet for a while but have now announced some new gold discoveries that boosted the share price. CEO Alan Carter has a large personal investment here bought in the market.

Meeka Metals, on the cusp of initial production in Western Australia announced a new gold discovery.

Ora Banda Mining, also in Western Australia, announced an “outstanding” discovery as they expand production and exploration at their Daveyhurst project.

Comment

This award is well deserved in my opinion, G Mining has been doing everything right since I began following the company.

My only concern is they may recieve a hostile bid whilst they’re still a mid cap producer, whereas I feel this is a long term buy and hold stock.

Anglogold are a close neighbour in Guyana and it would not surprise me if GMIN and Anglo go head to head in bidding for G2 Goldfields’ Oko project in Guyana

City Investors Circle Mining Review 9th March 2025

 

I attended the world’s largest mining conference, the PDAC in Toronto last week.

Despite another record attendance being declared by the organisers, and a record gold price, I felt a negative vibe in the show, when there should have been a positive feeling.

Once again the show was saturated with mining juniors desperately seeking funding, and as an investor that’s not what I’m looking for.

The days of the junior doing some drilling, declaring the result, the share price rising, and a placing taking place after the rise seem to be well and truly over, that model is broken in my opinion.

Many companies have had limited progress in the last year due to limited funds, and as a result are simply trying to attract in enough new money to pay salaries and running costs, and, hopefully, drill a few new holes to show some progress.

This is a snail’s pace exploration programme and it no longer excites investors.

The market is full of these sort of companies and investors have seemingly had eneough. I think a new model needs to happen otherwise in a few year’s time there will be a dearth of exploration projects.

I think they need to properly regulate how a junior mining company can operate, as a starting point. No more confetti options for management and insiders for a start.

Then stop management putting projects they personally own into the company, unless they can verifiably demonstrate the price is the same as they purchased the project for.

Encourage senior mining companies to mentor and invest in juniors so regulated, with senior staff assisting to develop projects.

If something is not done I fear investing in junior mining compnies is going to cease, as everyone can see the drawbacks.

 

——-

 

Walking around the floor at PDAC, despite the “no soliciting’ signs, it was apparent there was a multitude of out of work miners and geologists, along with an army of service providers, touting their services.

It seems as though the mining industry is becoming dwarfed by this legion of people seeking business opportunities and financial gain.

The number of companies exhibiting in the “Investor’s” Exchange was lower than last year, and it makes me wonder whether this is because of the absense of investors and the constant barrage of service providers going around the booths?

At some point companies will surely realise that they are not meeting investors at such shows and cease attending themselves.

As I mentioned before, the junior mining sector is in urgent need of significant change or it will die.

PDAC 2025 Day 1

PDAC 2025 Day 1

It was notably much busier than last year as the 2025 PDAC opened it’s doors.

My first impression is that there are once again a lot of junior early stage exploration companies looking for cash to continue funding a snail’s pace exploration cycle.

PDAC 2025 Day 1

It was notably much busier than last year as the 2025 PDAC opened it’s doors.

As an old hand I knew to register on the Saturday afternoon to avoid the inevitable long queues on Sunday morning, so entry was swift and I felt sorry for those people having to wait in line.

My first impression is that there are once again a lot of junior early stage exploration companies looking for cash to continue funding a snail’s pace exploration cycle.

I struggled to find companies that really interested me due to the early stage nature of most of the companies presenting.

The standout of the day was Southern Cross Gold, a dual listed ASX/TSX stock, exploring close to Fosterville in Victoria state, Australia. It features legendary gold investor Pierre Lassonde as one of it’s investors, and a host of quality institutional funds, always a good sign.

The other company I liked was Avino Silver, which is about to put the old Orko Silver Preciosa mine into production.

Avino’s existing producing silver mine is around 20 ,miles from Preciosa, allowing them the advantage of being able to truck the ore there rather than build a stand alone plant, a massive saving on capex.

Production is due to start soon and as Preciosa’s ore is higher grade, should improve Avino’s AISC, and obviously cashflow and profits.  As a virtually pure silver play, I am looking into investing in Avino.

I also liked Winsome Resources, a lithium play, and Emperor Metals, but as the latter is on the CSE I cannot buy that or hold it in my ISA.

Day 2 today, my feet already hurt, so I’m going to minimise my walking today if that’s possible.
