City Investors Circle Mining Review 12th June 2022

This week’s news was dominated by news from down under, with Gold Road and Calidus Resources putting out significant announcements. News from our Canadian watchlist was thin on the ground, with only Westhaven Gold putting out a drilling news release.

A shorter review this week due to travelling, so no stats, we’ll start again next week.

Gold traded pretty much sideways again, and the markets in general were dragged down by poor economic news and the news of yet more lockdowns in China for just a few new cases of covid.

Amiongst the stocks we follow, Calidus Resources generated two items of news, and their antipodean neighbour Gold Road Resources chipped in with encouraging news regarding their proposed friendly takeover of DGO.

Westahaven Gold were the only Canadian company with news,  producing some really encuraging drill results from their Shovelnose Mountaoin property.

.

The week also saw the final London mininfg conference before the summer break, the Global Mining Finance Conference, held at the beautiful and historic Armourers’ Hall, in Moorgate, City of London.

With recent London mining conferences being on the quiet side, and with a tube strike ending on the morning of the conference, audience number expectations were low, but the opening keynote speaker, Alasdair MAcleod of Goldmoney.com addressed a packed audience, with some delegates standing at the back.

The Global Mining Finance Conferences are traditional mining conferences with speakers addressing the audience, and the high delegate numbers suggest there is still an appetite for this traditional conference format. The networking sessions were particularly vibrant and engaged.

City Investors Circle Market Review April 2022

The review covers the latest news from the mining and metals markets.

Gold is under pressure due to the strong dollar, as markets await the first of a few half point interest rate rises, which would be negative for gold if they happen, and they might not of course.

US President Biden seems happy to let the markets drift, whereas Trump was focused on driving them forwards.

Companies commented on include, Calidus Resources, Gold Road Resources, Karora Resources, and Pirra Lithium.

There is a full update on metal prices, where most are drifting (US dollar rising) but some, like zinc are still rising.

The market indices are having a tough time in the US, the UK less so, and in Australia the markets are rising!

Crypto prices are falling across the board.

Mining Review Sunday Update 10th April 2022

City Investors Circle Mining Review for the 10th April 2022.

Companies covered include, Ascot Resources, Calidus Resources, Canuc Resources, Cyprium Metals, Gold Road Resources, and Orla Mining.

City Investors Circle – Mining Review Sunday Update 10th April 2022

Companies covered include, Ascot Resources, Calidus Resources, Canuc Resources, Cyprium Metals, Gold Road Resources, and Orla Mining.

 

Gold Road Resources provided the biggest news of the week with a recommended  bid for DGO Gold.

DGO has exploration projects in the Pilbara and Murchison areas of Western Australia. DGO’s Mallina tenements adjoin De Grey Mining’s Mallina Gold Project and share a similar geological and structural setting to De Grey’s tenements.

 

Calidus Resources also cheered the market by announcing their first gold pour is on track at their Warawoona Gold Project in the Pilbara.

 

Pure Gold Mining provided the worst performance of the week by announcing they need to raise C$50 million to bring their mine back on track. This announcement to the market without a financing in place has naturally killed the share price, as holders sell to await the announcement of the financing. This has driven the price down from 69 cents before the announcement to 24.5 cents currently, and still falling.

To announce a substantial financing was required before it was in place was suicidal, as the market is now highlighting. Pure are in our recovery watchlist, and that looks like they are going to be a good candidate for recovery once the financing details are announced.

Mining Review 12th December 2021

Mining Review 12th December 2021

Gold finished the week strongly after inflation fears grew, but silver had another poor week and the gold to silver ratio climbed over 80 again.

The main story of the week is the bid by Kinross for Great Bear, at around  27% premium, when Barrick were rumoured to be suitors as they have staked a lot of land around the Great Bear project. This could result in a bidding war.

City Investors Circle Mining Review 12th December 2021

Gold finished the week strongly after inflation fears grew, but silver had another poor week and the gold to silver ratio climbed over 80 again.

Amongst the base metals, coking coal rose 20% during the week, Rhodium 9%, iron ore 8%, cobalt and lithium 6%.

The main story of the week is the bid by Kinross for Great Bear, at around  27% premium, when Barrick were rumoured to be suitors as they have staked a lot of land around the Great Bear project.

This could well result in a bidding war, time will tell but it’s hard to see Barrick not making a counter bid.

I mentioned a while ago that I thought gold producers may take advantage of the lower price of gold, and gold explorers / developers, to make opportunistic bids, and that does seem to be happening. The premium here is not that great, around 33%.

If Barrick, (or anyone else for that matter) respond, we will see how much further the price rises as a guide to how potentially undervalued this bid actually is.

The other highlight was a court in Ecuador declining a licence to Cornerstone Capital due to some of the exploration area being a protected forest. The court designated all Ecuador’s forests as being ‘protected’, due to the diversity of animal and insect life in them.

It now remains to be seen whether a higher court will overrule this court, and until it does I imagine investors will be wary of investing in any company doing business in Ecuador. Clarity is needed here, and fast.

.

Precious metals

Gold 1783 0%
Silver 22.17 0%
Palladium 1759 1%
Platinum 943 1%
Rhodium 14000 9%

Gold clawed back some of its previous losses as inflation fears grew once again.

Rhodium reversed some of the losses of previous weeks and ended strongly.

 

.

Base Metals

Copper 4.34 0%
Nickel 9.06 -1%
Zinc 1.52 2%
Tin 18.21 2%

Tin continues its run northwards, and has moved upwards throughout the last year, month after month. One reason is that President Joko Widodo is threatening a ban on the export of unprocessed tin from Indonesia.

Zinc has also been a consistent riser throughout the last year or so.

 

.

Energy Metals

Cobalt 31.41 6%
Manganese 3.24 -6%
Lithium 31802 6%
Uranium 45.85 0%

A mixed bag with cobalt and lithium up 6%, whilst manganese is down a whopping 6%, a big hit for for a slow moving metal.

 

.

Bulk commodities

Iron Ore 110 8%
Coking Coal 322 20%

After the recent more positive Chinese industrial news, and the government confirming they will support completing Evergrande’s unfinished construction projects,  both iron ore and coking coal rose higher.

Mining Review Sunday Update 21st November 2021

Colonial Coal is surging again after the publication of a positive Canaccord Research report.

Ascot Gold is also climbing as some in the media speculate they could be the next takeover target.

A higher US dollar sent precious metal and commodities prices lower on Friday, turning what had been a good week into a negative one at the death.

City Investors Circle – Mining Review Sunday Update 21st November 2021

Colonial Coal is surging again after the publication of a positive Canaccord Research report, highlighting the potential of the stock at current coking (steelmaking) coal prices.

Ascot Gold is also climbing, as some in the media speculate they could be the next takeover target. It’s easy to see why they may be a target, but I personally hope they stay as they are, as I feel they have more to offer their shareholders, such as myself.

A higher US dollar sent precious metal and commodities prices lower on Friday, turning a good week into a negative.

What a pity the US dollar rose as gold and silver were on for a positive week before the late dollar rise.  Still we have higher inflation figures to help carry the gold price higher, with the current US CPI causing forecasters to price in three interest rate rises in 2022, rather than two as previously calculated.

The second London mining conference since covid started was well attended last week, the first day was as busy as always, the second noticeably less so, with many diehards showing signs of fatigue after two hard days of meetings and networking by mid afternoon.

It was good to connect with old friends and connections after nearly two years, let’s hope the rising UK covid numbers don’t wipe out Mines and Money in December.

Precious metals

Platinum 1086 0%
Rhodium 14350 0%

A poor end to the week for gold and silver, which were up for the week until Friday’s trading session, when the US dollar rose as  investors speculated the US would increase interest rates in the near term

Russia added to their gold stocks this week.

 

.

Base Metals

Copper 4.4 -2%
Nickel 9 -1%
Zinc 1.5 +1%
Tin 17.76 0%

Copper is lower despite shortages at some warehouses including London, with reserves down to historical lows.

 

 

Energy Metals

Cobalt 26.85 0%
Manganese 3.43 -1%
Lithium 28274 +1%
Uranium 47.25 +7%

Uranium had a nice kick this week, but otherwise energy metals look unloved currently.

 

Bulk commodities

Iron Ore 86.2 -4% -29% 90
Coking Coal 311 -7% -16% 333

Iron Ore and coking coal are both down as a result of Chinese government production and pollution curbs, although the electrical supply situation is improving now, which will bring some production back online.

China is trying to curb pollution ahead of the Winter Olympics to be held early next year.

Mining Review Sunday Update 14th November 2021

City Investors Circle weekly Mining Review features comments on Gold Road Resources, Apollo Consolidated, Tinka Resources, Orla Mining, Ascot Resources, UEC, and Silver Tiger Metals.

Gold is heading upwards, and sits at the US$1865 resistance level, after rising 3% during the week and 7% over the last month. The cause is rising US inflation numbers, and investors are turning to gold as a store of value.

Stocks on our watchlist had a good week, with Orla Mining and Ascot Resources confirming progress in their respective construction projects, and Tinka Resources and Silver Tiger Metals reporting excellent exploration results.

UEC acquired Uranium One Americas to become the largest uranium miner in the USA.

Gold Road Resources threw in the towel in the bid battle for Apollo Consolidated, selling their blocking 19.9% stake to Ramelius Resources, for a quick profit, as Ramelius increased their bid by 6c.

  Tinka Resources find 6m of 12.8 gpt Au and 2.7% Cu

Market Data

Precious Metals

Gold 1865 +3%
Silver 25.31 +5%
Palladium 2053 +1%
Platinum 1081 +4%
Rhodium 13100 -7%

Gold rose on rising US inflation figures, and silver shows signs of stirring to follow suit.  PGM’s held firm as car production is rising, although a shortage of magnesium may put a stop to that. That is a critical situation to monitor.

 

 

Base Metals

Copper 4.47 1%
Nickel 9 1%
Zinc 1.5 1%
Tin 17.76 2%

Copper rose slightly, which is surprising given the low reported copper stocks in the LME and Shanghai. Tin continues to rise every month, and is up an impressive 112% year on year.  Nickel is another steady riser, up 30% YOY.

 

 

Battery Metals

Cobalt 26.85 5%
Manganese 3.45 11%
Lithium 27924 2%
Uranium 44 0%

Manganese stole the show, cobalt put on a spurt, and uranium is flat for the moment.

 

 

Bulk Commodities

Iron Ore 90 -3%
Coking Coal 333 -2%

Both coking coal and iron ore suffered from the Chinese government’s intervention, and closure of some smelters until the spring, reducing steel production.

 

 

PM ETF’s

GDX 34.77 6%
GDXJ 47.99 7%
Sil 41.91 6%
SILJ 14.51 7%
GOEX 33.59 9%
GLD 174.445 3%

Enjoyed a very positive week, as the figures above testify. Interestingly the gold juniors (GDXJ) outperformed their senior colleagues.

Mining Review Weekly Update 7th Nov. 2021

Mining Review Weekly Update 7th Nov. 2021

A fairly boring week as far as the mining and commodity sectors go, after a few weeks of excitement involving soaring metal prices, shortages of supply, and M & A activity amongst mining companies. Gold rose on interest rate news.

Who will be next in the M & A queue?  Colonial Coal looks a likely candidate, as do Bardoc Gold, Canuc Resources, and maybe even Cartier Resources, in my view.

City Investors Circle – Mining Review Weekly Update 7th Nov. 2021

.A fairly boring week as far as the mining and commodity sectors go, after a few weeks of excitement involving soaring metal prices, shortages of supply, and M & A activity amongst mining companies.

Copper stocks remain low, with interruptions of supply from Chile and Peru, yet despite that the price has fallen back. Gold topped $1,800 again on no imminent rate rise news.

Who will be next in the M & A queue?  Colonial Coal looks a likely candidate, as do Bardoc Gold, Canuc Resources, and maybe even Cartier Resources, in my opinion.

Colonial Coal are up for sale, no secret about that, management are highly experienced explorers and developers, but not miners, they make no secret of that. Potential predators are rumoured to be circling, we just need that first bid to bring others out of the woodwork.

Bardoc Gold have announced the dreaded “strategic review“, and the CEO has gone, due to cost overruns on the capex for their Bardoc Gold Project. They are drilling to add to their 3.3 million ounces of gold, and they must surely be very attractive to any potential acquirer with existing milling facilities in the area. They are only 30 miles from Kalgoorlie, so a good number of potential candidates within easy reach, in my opinion.

Canuc Resources have some good quality neighbours on their doorstep, namely Barksdale, and Osisko Development, so any decent results could lead to a quick takeout.

Cartier Resources have quality assets and a good honest CEO, but despite that they seem to have lost momentum. It’s not beyond the bounds of possibility that a suitor comes calling whilst the share price is in the doldrums.
