Mining Review 22nd January 2023

Copper is up as once again supply concerns emerge as more protests erupt in Peru, constraining production in the world’s second largest exporting country. Some protests are targeting mines, with blockades, and arson attacks, the others the government, so it’s a fiery mix.

This is occurring as China is ramping back up their industrial production against a background of low world copper warehouse stocks.

Quite a busy week for news, with Ascot Resources, Calidus Resources, Impact Minerals, Minera Alamos, Orla Mining, and TriStar Gold all making positive this week. Please click the links below for the full story.

City Investors Circle Watchlist Additions

I am adding some new companies to our watchlist based on my opinion of their management team, jurisdiction, and newsflow potential.

N.B.   These are not recommendations, just companies we will be following.

In to our watchlists come Japan Gold, Skeena Resources, and Tristar Gold, plus early stage stories Auteco Minerals and Barton Gold go onto the early stage explorers list.

.

.

What do I see in these companies?

.

Japan Gold

I have been following Japan Gold for a couple of years and watch the story progress.

They spotted the opportunity in Japan and have over 20 highly prospective licences around the country, which borders the Pacific Rim of Fire.

The potential of their projects in validated by the fact they have Barrick as partner n six of them, and Newmont on another two.

In addition they have 23 other projects which they own 100%, where they are currently drilling three targets. Newsflow will be high here.

.

.

Skeena Resources

Skeena are exploring and developing the famous Eskay Creek mine back into production.

The open-pit Eskay Creek reserves contain 3.85 million ounces at 4.00 g/t Au Eq in the Proven and Probable categories and a 1 year payback at US$1,700/oz Au and US$19/oz Ag, both of which look conservative currently.

.

.

Tristar Gold

Their project is located in Para state, northern Brazil.

This is an open pit gold project with AISC of US$900 oz, and an 11 year minelife, with a three year payback.

The company are funded through to Q4 2023.

City Investors Circle Early stage projects Watchlist.

 

Auteco Minerals

An ASX listed company with a project in Ontario!

Pickle Crow (70%) is a former producing mine, with the potential for a low capex startup, which I always like, especially in a difficult market like now.

They have a 2.3 m oz gold resource, at a discovery cost of just $17.58.

They are also spinning out a vanadium project in Western Australia close to Neometals’ Barrambie project.

.

.
