Could Gold be at Good Entry Point Amid Wide-Spread Volatility of the Global Economy

Palm Beach, FL – (October 17, 2018) – Gold has remained a steady and constant safety net in the economic world as the global economy becomes increasingly tumultuous due to a number of political and societal affairs. A volatile market has typically been a variable that has had positive effects on gold and the current climate is no exception. Considering the circumstances, gold mining leaders are aiming to capitalize on the current environment. Gold recently broke above the $1230 price point this week and will be looking to continue carrying forward that momentum. Some believe incremental downside catalysts are beginning to dwindle and that gold could be in the process of getting its legs under itself prior to a material move higher. There are also plenty of opportunity for some mining plays with silver and zinc adding value to overall deposits, some even adding up to or more than 30% increase in valuations.     Active miners from around the market with current developments this week include:  U.S. Gold Corp. (NASDAQ:USAU), AngloGold Ashanti Limited (NYSE:AU), IAMGOLD Corporation (NYSE:IAG), Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:ABX), Kinross Gold Corporation (NYSE:KGC).

 

U.S. Gold Corp. (NASDAQ:USAU) BREAKING NEWS:  U.S. Gold today is pleased to announce the results of the recent eight-hole reverse circulation drilling program that followed up the discovery of this mineralization in last year’s drill hole CK17-01rc, reported January 30, 2018.  These eight new holes (see Table 1 below) indicate that the Copper King mineralization extends to the west, at least 200 meters, and maintains the historically measured and reported widths and depth to the deposit (see updated Copper King deposit map link below).

 

Dave Mathewson, Vice President of Exploration for U.S. Gold Corp., stated, “Our 2018 drill program at Copper King has added additional mineralization to the project.  Copper King has had a long history of several exploration programs conducted by numerous companies, but U.S. Gold Corp. is the first company to significantly expand the potential in many years.  The more time I spend on the Copper King property and looking at the data, the more I am convinced that we can continue to increase the overall metal endowment of the project.  We are looking forward to populating the DataMine exploration model with all the historic; and this recent exploration drilling information.  We will utilize this new updated digital exploration model to assist us with identifying additional Copper King deposit extensions and high-grade target zones within the deposit.  We are also currently re-examining all existing area exploration data for the purpose of identifying additional new target opportunities in the area.”

 

Prior to this recent drilling, and these reported results, an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the historic Copper King deposit was conducted by Mine Development Associates (MDA) and reported January 11, 2018.  This PEA provided a Pre-Tax NPV of $178.5 million and an IRR of 33.1%, based on $1275/oz Au and $2.80/lb Cu.  This recent drilling has enlarged the deposit size and metal content.  The PEA also does not include the values of other metals inherent to the deposit, including zinc and silver.
