Gold and silver remain strong as silver registers a new nominal all-time high price around $80.

We are making some additions to to our watchlists in the exploration tier 4 stage, and deleting a couple of companies from our tier 2 watchlist, please see the changes below.
The new entrants are early stage projects with scale potential, and proven management teams.
.
In
Fuerte Metals (FMT.V) Coffee Gold Project in the Yukon
Lahontan Gold (LH.V) Restarting the Santa Fe gold mine in Nevada.
Mogotes Metals (MOG.V Filo Sur project abuts the Filo Del Sur copper project.
/
Fuerte Metals has acquired the Coffee Gold Project in the Yukon from Newmont, who has spent over $300 million in prior investment. The company also has two advanced exploration projects in Mexico, and an early stage one in Chile.
Lahontan is restarting the old producing Santa Fe gold mine in Nevada. CEO Kimberley Anne is very experienced and driven to restart production rather than be acquired.
Mogotes Metals has huge potential as its Filo Sur copper / gold / silver project which abuts the Filo Del Sur project acquired by BHP / Lundin for C$4.5 billion when metal prices were much lower.
The company has just raised substantial funds for a large drilling campaign. Positive news from that would surely bring out the deep pocketed suitors?
.
Out
.
Both these companies are not performing as per my expectations.
Magnetic is waiting to be acquired, but how much longer will it take? The share price is flat lining in a range whilst other gold projects in the region are performing with the rising price of gold.
Minera Alamos has disappointed over an extended period, and the purchase of the Pan gold mine in Nevada looks more like an act of desperation to buy production after the disappointment of their projects in Mexico in my opinion.
