A bigger price move is right on the horizon, probably this week
Odds favor that bigger price move being to the upside.
Gold prices are modestly down in early U.S. trading Tuesday. The daily chart for gold shows a “collapse in volatility,†whereby the past three sessions have seen significantly quieter price action. This suggests that a bigger price move is right on the horizon, probably yet this week. Given that the daily gold chart remains bullish, odds favor that bigger price move being to the upside. August gold futures were last down $2.90 an ounce at 1,410.20. September Comex silver prices were last up $0.045 at $15.41 an ounce.
The just-released U.S. retail sales report for June showed a stronger-than-expected rise of 0.4%, which pushed the U.S. dollar index to solid gains on the day and in turn put some downside pressure on the gold market. Asian and European stocks were mixed overnight. U.S. stock indexes are pointed toward narrowly mixed openings when the New York day session beings, and are at or near their record and contract highs. So far this week there have been no major news developments in the world to significantly move markets. Thus, typical lackluster mid-summertime trading has set in. However, a very busy day of U.S. economic data may shake loose the present summertime doldrums.
In overnight news, there was a downbeat economic report coming out
of Germany, as the ZEW economic expectations index and current
conditions index worsened in July. Germany is the economic workhorse
for the European Union.
The other key “outside market†today sees Nymex crude oil prices firmer and trading just below $60.00 a barrel.
U.S. economic data due for release Tuesday includes the weekly Johnson Redbook and Goldman Sachs retail sales reports, retail sales, import and export prices, industrial production and capacity utilization, the NAHB housing market index, manufacturing and trade inventories, and Treasury international capital data. Several Federal Reserve officials are also slated for speeches today.

US $ Gold price touched a 5-year peak at $1400 as the US Fed signalled a rate cut, pressuring U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar.
This is the highest gold has been since March 17, 2014 at $1,386.38
Continued Central Bank accumulation of physical gold represents fundamental floor for market as a weakening US dollar accelerates Central Bank demand. Purchases rose 130% in the 4th quarter, and 2018 purchases came in at 650 tons

Advance Gold is focused on its
100% interest in the Tabasquena Silver Mine in Zacatecas, Mexico. Drilling in
the first 3 phases identified a cluster of 30 mineralized epithermal veins over
an area from east to west of approximately 300 metres, and north to south 400
metres, and 300 metres of depth. Advance plans to focus deeper to find the
boiling zone of the system and potentially economic mineralization. AAX
recently created a 3D model of the vein Tabasquena system.
GGX gold has discovered high grade gold silver and tellurium in the Greenwood-Republic mining camp, British Columbia. The current 2019 drill program follows up on 2018 intercept of high grade gold-silver (129 g/t gold and 1,154 g/t silver over 7.28 meter) from the near surface COD vein which is projected to be 1.5 kms in length. In addition tellurium grades were announced with “up to 3,860 g/t telluriumâ€, including “823 g/t tellurium over 7.28-meter core length†and “640 g/t tellurium over 6.90-meter core length. 2019 drilling on COD North is currently underway.
Great Atlantic is situated between Marathon Gold and Sokoman in Canada’s
newest emerging gold district. The Company reported a NI 43-101mineral
resource estimate for the JMZ in late 2018 on Golden Promise and 2019 is
focussed on prospecting and geochemical sampling at high priority targets
within the property. Planned 24 hole program in the northern half of the
property at the gold-bearing Jaclyn Zone, specifically at the Jaclyn Main Zone
(JMZ) and Jaclyn North Zone (JNZ).
Lead by Shawn Ryan and Roger Moss, LAB has 2
district scale Greenfield Gold projects in Labrador that have never seen any
modern exploration techniques. Ashuanipi and Hopedale are being systematically
explored for gold potential following the same techniques that created the
White Gold discoveries. At Ashuanipi , a

Golden Promise Project, Central Newfoundland
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 16, 2019 / GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV.GR) (the “Company” or “Great Atlantic”)
is pleased to announce it has received a diamond drilling permit for
the Company’s Golden Promise Gold Property, located in the central
Newfoundland gold belt. The Company has also begun its 2019 exploration
program on the Golden Promise Property, currently conducting focussed
prospecting and geochemical sampling at high priority targets within the
property. The drilling permit allows for up to 24 drill holes in the
northern half of the property at the gold-bearing Jaclyn Zone,
specifically at the Jaclyn Main Zone (JMZ) and Jaclyn North Zone (JNZ).
Planned drilling will consist of the following:
In-fill drilling in the west half of JMZ within conceptual pit-constrained area.
Shallow and deeper in-fill drilling in central-east region of JMZ.
Drilling
along projected strike east of JNZ in an area of high-grade quartz
boulders (boulder samples of 163, 208 and 332 g/t gold – News Release of
August 31, 2017).
The
Company reported a National Instrument 43-101mineral resource estimate
for the JMZ in late 2018 (News Release of December 6, 2018; and
Sedar-filed National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the Golden
Promise Property, Central Newfoundland (revised), dated December 4, 2018
by Mr. Greg Z. Mosher, M.Sc. App., P.Geo., and Mr. Larry Pilgrim,

Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the Mineral Resources estimated will be converted into Mineral Reserves. Mineral
resource tonnage and contained metal have been rounded to reflect the
accuracy of the estimate, and numbers may not add due to rounding. Mineral resource tonnage and grades are reported as undiluted. Contained Au ounces are in-situ and do not include recovery losses
The
majority of planned diamond drill holes at the Golden Promise Property
will be in-fill drill holes at the JMZ to provide data for an up-dated
JMZ mineral resource estimate, engineering studies and studies of
mineralizing controls. Drilling is also planned testing continuation of
the JNZ east along projected strike. The Company conducted trenching
during 2017 along the projected east strike of the JNZ. The trenching
generally failed to reach bedrock due to thick glacial till. However
gold bearing quartz vein boulders were excavated from multiple trenches,
with some boulder samples returning high grade gold (including 163.99,
208.51 and 332.67 g/t gold: News Release of August 31, 2017). A
qualified person managed the 2017 trenching program and sampling and
verified the analytical data.
Great Atlantic has begun it’s 2019
exploration program on the Golden Promise Property. Prospecting and
geochemical sampling is being conducted at high priority targets in
multiple regions within the property. During the 2017 and 2018 programs,
the Company identified / confirmed areas with gold bearing quartz vein
float or bedrock; and gold soil anomalies. The objective of the current
program is to further define trenching and drilling targets within these
target areas.
The Golden Promise Property hosts multiple gold
bearing quartz veins and is located within a region of recent
significant gold discoveries. The property is located within the
Exploits Subzone of the Newfoundland Dunnage Zone. Within the Exploits
Subzone, the property lies along the north-northwestern fringe of the
Victoria Lake Supergroup (VLSG), a volcano-sedimentary terrane. The
northwestern margin of the Golden Promise Property occurs proximal to,
and, in part, contiguous with a major (Appalachian-scale) collisional
boundary, and suture zone, known as the Red Indian Line (RIL). The RIL
forms the western boundary of the Exploits Subzone. Recent significant
gold discoveries in this region of the Exploits Subzone include those of
Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV.SIC) at the Moosehead Gold Project and Marathon Gold Corp. (TSXV.MOZ) at the Valentine Lake Gold Camp.
During 2018 Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV.SIC) announced
a high-grade gold discovery on its Moosehead Property, located
approximately 40 kilometers east-northeast of the Golden Promise
Property. The discovery was made during the 2018 diamond drilling
program. A drill intersection of 44.96 g/t gold over 11.90 meters core
length was reported including a 1.35 meters core length quartz vein
intersection of 385.85 g/t gold (Sokoman Iron Corp. News Release of July
24, 2018). The Valentine Lake Gold Camp of Marathon Gold Corp. (TSXV.MOZ) is
located approximately 55 kilometers southwest of the Golden Promise
Property. As reported on Marathon’s website, the Valentine Lake Gold
Camp currently hosts four near-surface, mainly pit-shell constrained,
deposits with measured and indicated resources totaling 2,691,400 oz. of
gold at 1.85 g/t gold and inferred resources totalling 1,531,600 oz. of
gold at 1.77 g/t. Readers are warned that mineralization at the
Moosehead Property and Valentine Lake Gold Camp is not necessarily
indicative of mineralization on the Golden Promise Property.
High-grade
gold is reported in quartz veins and quartz vein boulders within the
Golden Promise Property. Gold bearing quartz veins are reported in
multiple areas of the property, including at least 5 gold bearing quartz
vein systems reported in the Jaclyn Zone. Much of the reported
historical exploration within the property has been focused on the
Jaclyn Zone with gold bearing vein systems reported at the JMZ, JNZ,
Jaclyn South Zone, Jaclyn East Zone and Jaclyn West Zone. The majority
of historic drilling (2002-2010) was conducted at the JMZ. Gold bearing
veins and gold bearing float are reported in other regions of the
property. These include the Linda/Snow White vein in the southern
region, Shawn’s Shot vein in the central region and Branden boulder
occurrence in the northern region of the property.
As reported in
the National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the Golden Promise
Property, Central Newfoundland (revised), dated December 4, 2018 by Mr.
Greg Z. Mosher, M.Sc. App., P.Geo., and Mr. Larry Pilgrim, B.Sc.,
P.Geo., the JMZ was modelled as a single quartz vein that strikes
east-west and dips steeply to the south. Modelled vein thickness was
based on true thickness derived from quartz vein intercepts. The
estimate is based on 220 assays that were composited to 135 one-meter
long composites. A bulk density of 2.7 g/cm3 was used. Blocks in the
model measured 15 meters east-west, 1-meter north-south and 10 meters
vertically. The block model was not rotated. Grades were interpolated
using inverse-distance squared (ID2) weighting and a search ellipse that
measured 100 meters along strike, two meters across strike and 50
meters vertically. Grades were interpolated based on a minimum of two
and a maximum of 10 composites with a maximum of one composite per hole
so the grade of each block is based on at least two drillholes thereby
demonstrating continuity of mineralization. For the capped mineral
resource estimate, all assays that exceed 65 g/t gold were capped at 65
g/t gold. All resources were classified as Inferred because of the
relatively wide spacing of drill holes through most of the zone.
Because
part of the vein is near surface the resource estimate was constrained
by a conceptual open pit to demonstrate reasonable prospects of eventual
economic extraction. Generic mining costs of US$2.50/tonne and
processing costs of US$25.00/tonne were used together with a gold price
of US$1,300/ounce. A conceptual pit slope of 45° was assumed with no
allowance for mining loss or dilution. Based on the combined
hypothetical mining and processing costs and the assumed price of gold, a
pit-constrained cutoff grade of 0.6 g/t was adopted. For the
underground portion of the resource a cutoff of 1.5 g/t was assumed. The
cutoff grade for the total resource is the weighted average of the
pit-constrained and underground cutoff grades.
