This Could Send Gold Prices to $2030 By Year End

BayStreet.ca - Wed Sep 7, 2022

Gold may have lost its shine. But don’t count it out just yet. “The macro drivers from aggressive rate hikes and a strong U.S. dollar have been keeping gold below $1,800 an ounce,” according to analysts at RBC Capital Markets, as noted by Kitco.com. “But the heightened geopolitical tensions could still support gold into the year-end, which is why a price tag above $2,000 is still possible this fall.” That could be great news for Calibre Mining Corp. (TSXV: CXB) (OTCQX: CXBMF), Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE: GOLD) (TSX: ABX), Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM) (TSX: NGT), B2Gold Corp. (TSX: BTO) (NYSE: BTG), and Equinox Gold Corp. (TSX: EQX) (NYSE: EQX).

"Gold's tug of war is happening against a high-risk environment. One where there is a war in continental Europe that's ongoing. Also, I wouldn't write off U.S.-China tensions over Taiwan. On top of that, there are the broader geopolitical trade intricacies of what is happening in terms of an energy crisis and economic performance more broadly," added RBC analyst Christopher Louney. "There is this high-risk perceived safe haven undercurrent that is a tailwind supporting gold above where the macro factors otherwise would put gold."

Look at Calibre Mining Corp. (TSXV: CXB) (OTCQX: CXBMF), For Example

Calibre Mining Corp. reported additional high-grade drill results from its Panteon North zone within the Limon Mine Complex, part of the Company’s 85,000 metre resource expansion and discovery drilling program. High-grade mineralization now extends across a strike length of nearly 400 metres with consistent, plus 15 gram per tonne drill intercepts over broad, minable widths. Given a recent VTEM survey click here for details, which has identified two, parallel five km potential mineralized corridors, the strong correlation to the high/low resistivity contact demonstrated in the recent drilling and historical mining zones Calibre has four rigs testing along strike and down plunge expansion potential.

Additional High-Grade Drill Result Highlights from Panteon North

- 52.59 g/t Au over 3.8 metres Estimated True Width (“ETW”), including 94.70 g/t Au over 1.1 metres; and 10.28 g/t Au over 2.1 metres ETW, including 16.50 g/t Au over 1.7 metres in Hole LIM-22-4662;

- 43.09 g/t Au over 3.3 metres ETW, including 155.10 g/t Au over 0.9 metres in Hole LIM-22-4647;

- 35.18 g/t Au over 2.8 metres ETW, including 58.00 g/t Au over 1.5 metres in Hole LIM-22-4653;

- 26.02 g/t Au over 8.1 metres ETW, including 41.30 g/t Au over 4.6 metres in Hole LIM-22-4665;

- 18.49 g/t Au over 1.1 metres ETW, including 49.30 g/t Au over 0.4 metres in Hole LIM-22-4654;

- 13.14 g/t Au over 3.1 metres ETW, including 49.10 g/t Au over 0.4 metres in Hole LIM-22-4651.

Tom Gallo, Senior Vice President, Growth at Calibre, stated: “This is a paradigm shifting discovery for us with consistent high-grade mineralization demonstrated over considerable strike length coupled with VTEM giving strong indications there is potential to expand and discover additional zones. Drilling is underway to extend this mineralized zone to depth with visual indicators having shown positive signs. Given the grade, we expect a substantial, positive impact made to our mineral resource statement.”

Darren Hall, President and Chief Executive Officer of Calibre, stated: “The discovery of bonanza grade at Panteon North was first announced (May 16, 2022 see news release here)(then June 27, 2022 see news) and we have subsequently expanded the zone. Drilling continues to intercept consistent, extremely high-grade gold mineralization across approximately 400 metres of strike. The deepest results to date are situated only 250 metres from surface with new drill intercepts pending assays as deep as 450 metres from surface. These drill results, in combination with the successful VTEM campaign, reinforce our grade driven production growth as the high-grade Panteon North discovery is not included in our recent multi-year production outlook (see news release dated June 22, 2022).”

Additional High-Grade results announced since discovery in May of this year include;

The Panton North discovery is located approximately one kilometre northwest of the high-grade producing Panteon underground mine and approximately three kilometres from the Limon mill site. Panteon North is a new discovery with no resource and reserve classified, the zone remains open down plunge and open to the northwest and potentially beyond to the northeast as outlined along the VTEM resistivity contact which extends for another three kilometres.

With commercial production anticipated in Q3 2022, Santa Luz will contribute to increased production in the fourth quarter and into 2023.”
