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%.

Base metals also rose, with the exception of lithium, coking. and thermal coal.

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.

Provided a preliminary update on the quarterly production at the Karlawinda Gold Project, which 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 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.

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!

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.

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 (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.

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

Mining Review 9th March 2025

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

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.

Calibre Mining – El Limon Mine, Nicaragua

City Investors Circle Mining Review 16th February 2025

.

The price of gold jumped again, but with Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin talking about peace, what will happen if the Ukraine war finishes?

I fear any sign of a peace settlement will drive the price of gold downwards fairly quickly, and that would remove some of the gains made recently in the producing gold miners. 

I am an investor rather than a trader, but if such a move happens I may be tempted to reduce some of my holdings in my ISA (As there’s no CGT issue), and look to re-invest at a lower level in the same companies.

It’s going to be tough call, and valuations may fall faster than we would like if such a scenario arises, but it’s one I’m looking at.

——-

Horizon Metals announced the processing of the first ore from the Phillips Find gold mine. They are one of three companies moving into production that I have recently invested in due to their policy of early stage mining to self fund ongoing exploration, thus avoiding dilution.

Ora Banda Mining announced good drill results from their Riverina gold project. The share price has just reached A$1, four times my original purchase price less than a year ago. How I wish I could repeat that sort of decision more often!

Mining Review 9th February 2025

Calibre Mining added 30% gold at the Leprechaun pit at Valentine.

Westgold shares hammered after lower guidance revision.

.

Cornish Metals South Crofty Mine, Pool, Cornwall. UK

It’s been another good week for investors in the mining space, with producing miners rising as the gold price reaches new (nominal) highs, rising 1.9% to $2,855.

 

I have been reviewing my personal portfolio for non performing copanies and have made a couple of sales. The principal sales were American Creek Resources, and Sierra Metals (not a watchlist company).

 

American Creek keeps delaying the gold crypto token backed takeover by Cunningham Mining, and I have a feeling this is not going to conclude, it’s taken a long time now, and the delays are encouraging.

 

I also sold Sierra Metals, as they are subject to a really poor bid by a Peruvian company.

 

With the funds I added to my holdings of Lefroy Exploration, lowering my average to close to the current share price.  I also added to Meeka Metals, and made an initial investment in Horizon Minerals. All three are ASX listed.

 

The common demoninator of all is they are junior explorers all going into early production to fund ongoing exploration.

Comment

 

Just as I predicted, another delay, and I wonder why?

This is a novel approach to a financing, and I don’t think investors understand it nor are excited by it.

 

I have reduced my holding here and may sell the remainder whilst other gold producers are going up in value.

Westgold (ASX / TSX: WGX)

Reduced its FY25 guidance issued very recently to 330,000 to 350,000 ounces of gold from 400,000 to 420,000 ounces, and increased AISC from a range of $2,000 to $2,300 to between $2,400 and $2,600.

Comment

Coming so soon after the previous guidance given by the company, this looks clumsy to say the least.  One has to ask why things are so different so quickly?

Serious questions have to be asked of management here, surely someone’s head should roll? 

Around 20% of value has been destroyed here in short order, and looking at the recent drop in share price prior to this announcement, one has to wonder if anyone knew in advance?

I’ll wait for the fall to finish and then consider whether to top up at the lower price in the hope that management will eventually get a grip on things and move forwards. If that happens there could be an opportunity here.

As a former shareholder of Karora Resources, transitioned into here by the takeover, this realises my worst fears.

Westgold Share Price Hammered as Guidance Cut

.

Westgold (ASX / TSX: WGX) reduced its FY25 guidance issued very recently to 330,000 to 350,000 ounces of gold from 400,000 to 420,000 ounces, and increased AISC from a range of $2,000 to $2,300 to between $2,400 and $2,600.

——-

Westgold’s corporate strategy is to systematically recalibrate the business for long term
sustainable growth and higher levels of free cash generation. The Beta Hunt and Bluebird-South Junction mines are the major drivers of growth, with capital investment and resource drilling in both assets key to leveraging this new scale and to reducing Group operating costs.

Post merger, FY25 Production Guidance was predicated on the simultaneous ramp up of Beta Hunt to 2Mtpa and Bluebird-South Junction to 1.2Mtpa. During H1 FY25, the ramp ups of both assets were slower than planned, predominantly due to engineering, not mineral resource issues.

At Beta Hunt, production was adversely affected by the need to undertake significant upgrades of primary ventilation, mine pumping systems (dewatering) and clean water supply.

Westgold’s capital investment strategy is systematically removing these productivity constraints to deliver higher production in H2 FY25 and beyond.

At Bluebird-South Junction the transition to a much larger tonnage, transverse stoping mining method in the South Junction lodes was slower than planned as a result of upgrading the ground support regime.

This upgrade will underpin higher levels of production from the South Junction
lodes in H2 FY25.

As a result of these delays at Beta Hunt and Bluebird-South Junction, Westgold is revising its full year FY25 Production Guidance to 330-350koz, with AISC Guidance now adjusted to $2,400 – $2,600/oz.

Growth capital for the full year has reduced to $200M with the prioritisation to
projects delivering the highest return on investment (Beta Hunt, Bluebird-South Junction and Great Fingall).

.

.

Westgold Managing Director and CEO Wayne Bramwell commented:

“Balancing short range targets with longer term shareholder returns is Westgold’s objective.

 

“Optimisation of our expanded portfolio began in earnest in Q2 FY25 and disappointingly, engineering ramp up issues constrained outputs from the Beta Hunt and Bluebird-South Junction underground mines.

 

“Both mines are now regaining momentum as Westgold rectifies areas of historic underinvestment across the Southern Goldfields and accelerates the expansion of our key Meekatharra mine.

 

“We are systematically deploying capital across our portfolio to establish long term sustainable growth, with drilling and upgraded infrastructure set to make our largest mines larger and more productive with lower operating costs.

“Westgold’s output will continue to improve across H2 FY25, with production in Q4 FY25 expected to reflect an annualised run rate of +400kozpa.

 

“Free cash flow and shareholder returns are our key performance indicators, and we are confident in the optionality our expanded portfolio now provides to deliver much higher levels of safe and profitable production into FY26 onwards.”

City Investors Circle Mining Review 2nd February 2025

This was an exciting week to be an investor in gold and precious metals, and companies in production as the gold price hit $2,800 in late trading on Friday in London.

There is a lot of discussion about gold being transferred in huge quantities from the vaults in London to the COMEX in New York, and the reasons for that.

China is known to have resumed buying, and the short term outlook looks to be positive for both gold and silver.

——-

I opened new small positions in Meeka Metals (ASX: MEK) and Horizon Minerals (ASX: HRZ), and added to Lefroy (ASX: LEX) as my buy in price was way higher, in order to lower my average price.

Meeka is looking to commence mining gold in March 2025 with first gold around mid-2025, at Andy Well, which will average 65,000 Oz gold PA for the first 7 years.

Horizon is due to commence gold production from the Paddington Mill this month, on a toll milling basis, and will generate A$30 million of cashflow at A$3600 gold price. (The current gold price in Australia is A$4,500)

Lefroy is negotiating with BLM to contract mine their first pit to generate early cashflow rather than equity dilution. I await the conformation of the deal and commencement of mining.

Calibre Mining celebrated its one millionth ounce of gold produced in Nicaragua. This was achieved in 5 years. The company also declared a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for the Talvera deposit of 630,000 ounces of gold.

Gold Road Resources, G Mining Ventures, and Ora Banda Mining all gave a positve outlook and guidance for 2025. Gold hit $2,800 late Friday.
