American Creek Resources $AMK.ca – Gold Poised To Test Resistance From 2011-2013 As US/Iran Rhetoric Escalates $TUD.ca $SII.ca $GTT.ca $AFF.ca $SEA.ca $SA $PVG.ca $AOT.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 3:28 PM on Monday, January 6th, 2020

American Creek owns a 20% Carried Interest to Production at the Treaty Creek Project in the Golden Triangle. 2019’s first hole averaged of 0.683 g/t Au over 780m in a vertical intercept. The Treaty Creek property is located in the same hydrothermal system as the Pretivm and Seabridge’s KSM deposits.

Welcome to 2020, a year in which the President of the United States conducts war via his Twitter account:

Regardless of how you feel about President Trump or the US/Iran situation, the fact is that things escalated a great deal over the weekend after a US airstrike eliminated Iranian General Suleimani on Thursday night in Baghdad. 

This dangerous escalation of posturing between the mightiest military on the planet and a country of more than 80 million people which also happens to possess formidable conventional and unconventional military capabilities could have potentially far reaching financial market implications. 

With Middle East equity indices already down between 3% and 5% I fully expect S&P futures to open lower Sunday night. Gold futures and crude oil futures could also rise sharply in thin Sunday night trading as scared short sellers are forced to close out losing positions.

My interest is in gold in particular.  Turning to the monthly chart we can see that gold ended last week right at previous support from 2011-2013:

Gold (Monthly)

There is layer of resistance stretching from the September 2019 peak at $1565 to the April 2013 high at $1604.30. If gold gaps higher into the teeth of this resistance it should make for an interesting week of trading which is likely to be characterized by higher volatility and higher trading volumes. Gold sentiment is running hot after a more than $100 rally over the span of five weeks. In addition, positioning among gold futures traders is also at an extreme with commercial traders (producers, swap dealers, etc.) in gold futures holding their largest net notional short position on record (more than US$50 billion):

Technically speaking, gold is getting a bit overheated on shorter time frames (daily, hourly, etc.). However, on the weekly and monthly charts the gold party could be just getting started after a 6+ year bottoming process that only transitioned into a nascent uptrend six months ago. 

Nobody knows how the US/Iran situation is going to unfold, but one thing is for sure and that is that it’s a scary situation which has the potential to get a lot worse before it gets better. If there was ever a time to own gold it would be now, and perhaps that is why we should take standard sentiment/technical indicators with a grain of salt.  Judging by the massive commercial short position in gold futures the yellow metal is in the midst of a massive short squeeze – short squeezes can often reach crazy extremes before experiencing a reversal (only once the most leveraged short players have been forced to cover at the highs).  This may be what is about to unfold in gold.

Lomiko is uniquely poised to supply the growing EV battery market. Click Here For More Information

Nissan will show its Ariya EV concept to the tech-oriented audience.

The former Consumer Electronics Show, now known simply as CES, lacks the new-model cachet of a premiere world auto show. And automakers are not yet using the Las Vegas electronics extravaganza to shine the spotlight on their newest creations. But as the auto industry grapples with technology-fueled disruption from electrification, autonomous driving and upstart business models, CES is becoming the venue of choice for brands to prove to consumers, and each other, that they are embracing the future of mobility.

More than 160 automotive technology companies, including 10 major automakers, will attend this year looking to forge partnerships and recruit hard-to-find tech and engineering talent. Several top auto industry executives will attend, including Daimler CEO Ola Kallenius, Ford Chief Technology Officer Ken Washington and BMW r&d boss Klaus Frohlich. U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao will deliver a keynote address on the state of innovation and DOT initiatives to integrate new technologies into U.S. transportation systems.

Here’s a roundup of what automakers expect to show at CES.

BMW will tease an interior concept for its i3 EV. The “BMW i3 Urban Suite,” said to have the “relaxed feel of a boutique hotel,” features a large seat with footrest, a screen that flips down from the headliner and a “personal Sound Zone.”

Fisker will debut the Ocean all-electric crossover, powered by an 80-kWh lithium ion battery pack and with an expected range of up to 300 miles. Production should begin at the end of 2021.

Ford will show its 2021 Mustang Mach-E crossover. The highly anticipated mass-market EV, with a 300-mile range, is Ford’s answer to Tesla, General Motors and others that beat it to the electric market with long-range EVs.

GM will demo integration of Amazon’s Alexa Auto voice-controlled virtual assistant in a new Cadillac CT5.

Honda will showcase technologies being jointly developed by its incubator Honda Xcelerator and startups focused on improving workplace ergonomics and manufacturing efficiency. Honda will demo exoskeleton devices and a voice-enabled, AI-powered personal assistant developed with SoundHound. And it will show its “Smartphone as Brain” technology, which allows motorists to safely use their phones while on the road.

Hyundai will reveal details about a flying vehicle concept and a “highly customizable” prototype car with autonomous-driving capabilities. The automaker has said it plans to evolve into a “smart mobility solution provider” by 2025 and will invest more than $50 billion in electric and fuel cell cars, autonomous driving, flying taxis and mobility services.

Mercedes will reveal a concept vehicle it described as “envisioning a completely new form of interaction between humans, technology and nature,” and show its EQ EVs. Mercedes said it expects to introduce a fleet of 10 EVs by 2022, starting with the EQC electric compact crossover set to arrive in the U.S. in 2021.

Nissan will showcase its Ariya electric crossover concept. A production version of the five-seater could arrive in the U.S. in 2021. U.S. dealers briefed on the product last summer said the new EV will have a 300-mile battery range and go from 0 to 60 mph in less than 5 seconds.

Renault will demonstrate technology that allows connected devices in the home to be controlled from a car dashboard. The company also plans to show a battery-powered EV with a hydrogen system that triples a zero-emission vehicle’s range.

Toyota will reveal details around its new mobility ecosystem and demo several concept vehicles.

Terpenoids And Cannabinoids – What’s The Difference? SPONSOR: Applied BioSciences $APPB $APH.ca $GBLX $PFE $ACG.ca $ACB.ca $WEED.ca $HIP.ca $WMD.ca $CGRW

SPONSOR: Applied BioSciences is a vertically integrated company focused on the development and commercialization of novel, science-driven, synthetic cannabinoid therapeutics / biopharmaceuticals that target the endocannabinoid system to treat a wide-range of diseases across multiple therapeutic areas Click Here for More Info

If you have been studying cannabis products in depth to find out that one full-spectrum CBD oil that would suit all your needs then you’d have come across the word terpenes. But what are these terpenes, or as others refer them, terpenoids?

Of course, if you are looking to buy CBD, you would be aware of what cannabinoids are. these are compounds found in the cannabis plants, hemp and marijuana. So now you have two terms cannabinoids and terpenoids – but what’s the difference between the two? let’s take a look at this below:

Cannabinoids

Cannabinoids like cannabidiol and tetrahydrocannabinol have therapeutic properties. They interact with the natural endocannabinoid system in your body. What they basically do is that they control the functionality of cells – this means they manage cell signaling.

Cannabinoids regulate the receiving, processing, and sending of messages between cells. A cannabinoid like CBD can interact with cannabinoid receptors in the ECS and regulate your mood, anxiety, inflammatory response, and much more.

While THC and CBD are the most popular cannabinoids that have studies supporting their effects, there are hundreds of other cannabinoids too. These include CBG and CBN among others. All cannabinoids come with distinct features.

Terpenes

Terpenes or terpenoids are aromatic molecules not only found in cannabis but in several other plants as well. These as well have therapeutic properties. They are found in fruits as well. Terpenes in the lavender flower are responsible for its unique aroma and soothing properties.

Terpenes also found in citrus fruits and berries too. One terpene that exists in both cannabis as well as a fruit, mango, is myrcene. The aroma of weed that many people appreciate comes from this very terpene. Inside plants, terpenes play a very important role. They protect against the attack of pests, bacteria and other external agents. The amount and type of terpenes in cannabis plants varies from one strain to another.

The Entourage Effect

Experts recommend you to go for a full-spectrum CBD formula because it contains cannabinoids as well as terpenes. Cannabinoids and terpenoids work together to provide better benefits. They have an entourage effect together which enables you to get better result sooner. This is because like cannabinoids, terpenes also have health profiting qualities.

For instance, some terpenes have an anti-inflammatory nature while others are great for stress relief. As you may already be aware, CBD also provides these benefits. Of course, when in combination with other compounds that have similar properties benefits that you drive are more.

Verdict

Cannabinoids and terpenes are compounds found in the cannabis plant. Both have therapeutic properties but are different. Terpenes are aromatic molecules responsible for the flavor of a plant and fragrance. Cannabinoids interact with the ECS of the body. Together they work even better which is why full-spectrum CBD is revered more than CBD isolate.

In this update I am not going to repeat the points made in the last fairly comprehensive update, instead we are going to focus on the importance of the resistance level just above where the price is now, and impact of the killing of the Iranian General and its potential implications for the gold price.

On the latest 10-year chart we can see that gold is making a 2nd attack on the key major resistance level in the $1530 – $1560 zone, which is hardly surprising considering what happened last week.


The reason that this resistance level is of such major importance is made abundantly clear by the following chart made by a subscriber and kindly forwarded to me, which I reproduce with his permission. As we can see gold made no less than 5 significant lows at this level between 2011 and 2013, before it finally crashed this support and plunged 15% in 2 days, so it is clearly of huge significance and is the biggest hurdle by far on the way up. Therefore, even given the latest mayhem in the Mid-East, we should not be surprised if it now stalls out here and possibly backs off for a while to form a trading range, which is also made likely by its now being critically overbought on its RSI indicator and by the latest COTs, which we will look at lower down the page, coming in with really extreme readings again. This makes sense given that we now at a time of maximum tension.

From a subscriber – highlighting gold’s key support at the $1530 – $1560 level, which is now of course strong resistance…


Detail showing the plunge that was triggered the failure of this support…


On the 6-month chart we can see how, after breaking out of the corrective downtrend in force from early September, gold has risen steeply, without one down day so far to become critically overbought on its RSI indicator as it drives into the zone of strong resistance with volume becoming heavy on Friday. This of course increases the chances of its reacting back the moment tension over the Mid-East situation eases, even if only slightly.


As for the COTs, they are showing extreme readings once more (chart is for 24th December), which suggest that, especially if tension over the Iran situation eases short-term, gold will probably back off some into a consolidation pattern that will enable it to charge up sufficiently to take out the key resistance in due course.

Click on chart to popup a larger, clearer version.


Now we come to the possible impact of the US killing of the top Iranian General. In order to figure out the real motivation for this act, we simply have to ask the usual question “Who stands to gain?” The first interest group that stands to gain is the US military, which receives about $700 billion of taxpayers’ money every year, and probably about $500 billion of this is in excess of what it needs to defend the Homeland. So in order to justify this bloated budget it creates enemies and conflicts around the world. The next interest group is Israel, which controls the US and uses the US military as a sledgehammer to achieve its objectives which include dominance of the Mid-East. Iran is the big prize. Finally the Republicans and Trump himself stand to gain at the polls later this year as the population will predictably “rally round the flag” as a result of conflict with Iran. Knowing all this, we can quickly deduce that the killing of the Iranian General was an act of extreme provocation designed to trigger some kind of counter attack by Iran that can then be used as an excuse to launch a bombing campaign against it. Even if Iran exercises maximum restraint and does nothing beyond making empty threats to assuage its angry populace, it may still fall victim to an onslaught after a calculated false flag attack which is blamed on it. So whatever it does, it loses – it’s been put in a classic “zugzwang” situation.

For all the bluster, Iran’s military is no match for that of the US of course, which spends more than the rest of the world put together on arms. The best way for Iran and Islam in general to “get even” with the West for all its many decades of Colonial interference in the Mid-East, exploitation and massive destruction inflicted on places like Iraq and Libya and the Palestinians therefore (looked at from their point of view) is to conduct “asymmetrical warfare”, invade Western countries and attack their churches and institutions etc, and then take them over gradually by outbreeding them. Western societies are now too corrupt, decadent, morally bankrupt and weak to stop this happening, and it is happening right now in Europe, and the only reason it isn’t happening to the same extent in the US is that it is a lot harder to pilot a rubber dingy across the Atlantic Ocean than the Mediterranean Sea, although as we know the Democrats and the Left appear to trying to take up the slack by destroying the country from within in places like Portland, L.A. and San Francisco, and this rot will spread unless right minded people take a vigorous stand.

All this is mentioned because it is clear that the killing of the Iranian General is the prelude to a military strike against Iran, which will probably take the form of an extensive and intensive bombing campaign that both Israel and the US have been looking forward to for years, because a ground invasion is out of the question due to the geography and logistics. The goal as usual will be to destroy its military capability and wreck its infrastructure with the eventual aim of installing a puppet government and opening up the country to Western exploitation, and the wild card in all this will be whether Russia and China will do anything to prevent it, or just stand and watch. It is thought that they don’t have the nerve to intervene. In any event, if such a campaign is launched, we can expect the world to be gripped by an acute sense of crisis and gold will spike. Iran may have the ability to disrupt the flow of oil out of the Persian Gulf, albeit temporarily, which would trigger an oil price spike and a stockmarket crash.

Last week’s updates concluded with a look at the highly bullish charts for gold measured against the Australian dollar and the Japanese Yen, and this week we will look at gold against the Canadian dollar and the Swiss Franc.

While many investors are still agonizing about whether gold is in a bullmarket or not, that is because they are fixated on the charts for gold in US dollars. When you look at gold in other currencies you realize that it is already very much in a bullmarket, and recently made new highs against many currencies, like the Canadian dollar shown below…


Even against the Swiss Franc, which amongst currencies enjoys some safe haven status, gold is performing better than it is against the dollar…


…and we should remember that the dollar may not remain as “king of the hill” forever, especially as a number of major powers in the Asia especially are preparing to ditch it.

Finally, we are going to take a quick look at an unusual chart for gold submitted by the same subscriber as some of the charts above. It is unusual because it is a yearly candlestick chart, meaning that each candle on it is for an entire year. Its supreme advantage is that it keeps things simple. The Triangle shown on it is his interpretation, not mine. It certainly looks positive here with a big white candle for 2019, with the arithmetic version shown looking even more bullish. This type of chart also has a potential advantage for the writer, as if only this chart were used, I would only have to write these updates once a year.

Hundreds of Institutions Are Already Investing in Crypto: Coinbase CEO

By: Joseph Young

According to the CEO of one of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges globally, institutions are already actively investing in the emerging asset class and the trend is likely to continue throughout 2020.

Will institutions further bolster the crypto market in 2020?

Prior to 2019, institutional investors only really had Bitcoin Investment Trust (GBTC) by Grayscale and CME Group’s futures market to invest in bitcoin.

There were not many options available to high net worth individuals, funds, and investment firms to invest in the crypto market securely with insurance and custodians.10 BTC & 20,000 Free Spins for every player in mBitcasino’s Winter Cryptoland Adventure!

Starting mid-2019, a growing number of exchanges and regulated service providers have started to provide custodial solutions targeting institutions. It led to the establishment of a more efficient and stable environment for institutions to invest in cryptocurrency.

Armstrong said:

“We’ve already started to see small institutions enter the cryptocurrency space. Hundreds have joined Coinbase Custody in the past 18 months. I would expect this rapid growth to continue in 2020, with larger and larger institutions coming on board. Eventually just about every financial institution will have some sort of cryptocurrency operation, and most funds will keep a portion of their assets in cryptocurrencies, partially due to the uncorrelated returns.”

Both Bakkt and cryptocurrency exchanges offering custodial solutions are yet to see large volumes, mostly because it takes time for institutional infrastructure to become more established.

“Bakkt will be likely first a trickle and then a flood. The reality is that most regulated futures contracts get low adoption on day1 simply b/c not all futures brokers are ready to clear it, many ppl want to wait and see, the tickers are not even populated on risk systems, etc,” Three Arrows Capital CEO Su Zhu said.

Independent funds seeing more institutional inflow

Despite a noticeable decrease in deal value in the latter half of 2019, in October of last year, Anthony Pompliano of Morgan Creek Digital said that the firm’s crypto fund secured $60 million from institutional investors.

With an impressive start to the year this new heightened geopolitical development could be the catalyst to break out gold to multi year highs. The U.S. strike that killed a key Iranian general could have a ripple effect on the signing of the trade agreement on the 15th as China and Iran have recently worked together on joint military operations along with Russia. Any set back in the trade agreement would severely impact the direction of U.S. equities and the expectations for interest rate decisions globally. Price Analysis and Outlook The daily gold chart shows that momentum indicator slow stochastics are rising steadily and reaching overbought territory giving longer term indication that we have pushed into a Bull Market. While ADX, which measures strength of the trend, has turned up over 40 showing that the driving force behind the recent upward move is very strong. The 2 key levels of support to watch are the November 1st high of $1525.2 and the December 30th high of $1519.1. This should act as a consolidation level while a likely upside target completing this trend would be an objective of $1572

Hike in nickel’s global demand seen

ROBERTO A. GUMBA JR.   January 3, 2020

THE nickel mining industry group is bracing for the possible increase in the global demand of nickel brought about by the boom of electric vehicles.

“The direction globally is really the EV (electric vehicle) industry and we have that global competitiveness because more than 50 percent of the component of the entire electric vehicle is really nickel. The batteries itself and the body need more nickel,” Philippine Nickel Industry Association (PNIA) Executive director Charmaine Capili said in a press conference, Friday.
Capili explained battery companies are currently experimenting on putting more nickel mineral in batteries for electric vehicles.

“At present, the composition of the battery that is being used is six nickel, two cobalt, and two magnesium. [By] Late 2018, they already tried to use eight nickel, one cobalt, and one magnesium because they said it has lower production cost and higher efficiency, but they still have to test the durability and further its efficiency,” she said.

She said the growing demand for nickel is also foreseen in the goal of European countries to have zero-carbon emission by 2030 by shifting to electric vehicles.

She added that the demand is not only exclusive to other countries as it has been observed in the Philippine transportation.

“Daghang mga LGUs (local government units) karon nga naga-shift na especially sa Manila e-trike, e-jeep (A lot of LGUs right now are shifting into using electric-powered tricycle and electric-powered jeepneys),” Capili said.

Apart from batteries, she said the stainless steel used for the body of electric vehicles also has nickel in it.

Although the Philippines is one of the largest producers of the mineral’s ore along with Indonesia which is leading in the industry, she admitted there are still factor preventing the country to compete globally.

She said among the challenges are the limitations of exploring other areas because of the moratorium imposed by Executive Order (EO) 79.

“May limitations po sa explorations, no new permits. Kung ano lang yung na approved [areas] for existing operations, doon lang (We are only allowed to mine on those areas approved for operations),” she said.

“We have 9 million hectares available in the Philippines for minerals that is copper, gold, nickel. But the Philippines right now is only maximizing only 2 percent out of the 9 million [hectares], and out of the 2 percent, only 1 to 1.5 percent is operating. There is a very big potential,” she said citing data from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources – Mines and Geoscience Bureau (DENR-MGB).

She shared other challenges confronting the industry is the amount of resources, the low grade of nickel, high cost of electricity to process the mineral, and the technologies of extracting ores or for processing it.

Capili bared that to address these issues, PNIA, an association of seven mining companies operating in Surigao, Palawan, and Agusan is working with the DENR and the Department of Trade and Industry to establish a Nickel Industry Roadmap.

She said the roadmap also aims to create stable policies for the nickel mining industry and other industries reliant on nickel as well as programs that promote the sustainability of nickel mining in the country.

She also hoped that the moratorium will be lifted soon for the country to be globally competitive.

“Hopefully, by middle of this year, we can already share and launch the roadmap but we are still creating the composition of the Technical Working Group because we want to get inputs from the government, business sectors, European Chamber of Commerce in the Philippines, the Electric Vehicles Association of the Philippines, other nongovernmental organizations and academe,” she said.

Volkswagen AG said Friday that its Volkswagen brand has raised the 2025 target for the production of electric cars.

The German car maker is forecasting that it will have reached its brand target of one million electric cars by the end of 2023, which is two years earlier than planned.

The brand now expects 1.5 million electric cars to be produced in 2025, Volkswagen said.

Volkswagen group said earlier this year that it was ramping up its spending on electric and hybrid vehicles and digitalization, with about 33 billion euros ($3 )

American Creek $AMK.ca Congratulates Treaty Creek JV Partner Tudor Gold on Receiving a Further $2,900,000 in Exploration Funding from Eric Sprott $TUD.ca $SII.ca $GTT.ca $AFF.ca $SEA.ca $SA $PVG.ca $AOT.ca

Cardston, Alberta–(December 31, 2019) – American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) (OTC Pink: ACKRF) (“American Creek”) (“the Corporation”) is pleased to report that Canadian billionaire Eric Sprott has invested an additional $2,900,000 in our JV partner Tudor Gold for the upcoming 2020 drill program on Treaty Creek, located in the “Golden Triangle” of Northwestern British Columbia.

The 2019 drilling at Treaty Creek was very successful and produced some of the most significant gold intercepts in the exploration industry. The focus has been on the gold enriched Goldstorm Zone which is on trend with Seabridge Gold’s Iron Cap Zone located approximately five kilometers to the southwest. Drilling was designed to define a gold deposit with the potential of being open pit mined.

The Treaty Creek Project is a joint venture with Tudor Gold owning 3/5th and acting as project operator. American Creek and Teuton Resources each have a 1/5th interest in the project. American Creek and Teuton are both fully carried until such time as a Production Notice is issued, at which time they are required to contribute their respective 20% share of development costs. Until such time, Tudor is required to fund all exploration and development costs while both American Creek and Teuton have “free rides”.

Darren Blaney, CEO of American Creek stated: “Mr. Sprott has now made multiple significant investments in Tudor Gold in 2019 for the development of the Treaty Creek property. On December 13, 2019 Mr. Sprott stated: “Treaty Creek has a great shot at having 20 million ounces, the holes are so deep, they have a thousand-meter holes that are running close to a gram a ton and it’s wide open, so I’m very excited about the opportunity there”. He continues to put his money where his mouth is and has given another huge endorsement to the Treaty Creek project with this latest significant injection of cash. He also made two prior $1,000,000 investments in American Creek earlier in 2019.”

The Treaty Creek Project lies in the same hydrothermal system as Pretium’s Brucejack mine and Seabridge’s KSM deposits however, the Treaty Creek project has far better logistics.
