Expectations are the Fed will cut rates by 25 basis points
Falling interest rates make metals more attractive
Tie in bullish technicals with a clueless Fed and we should see higher gold and silver prices.
Yesterday we wrote that gold and silver would probably be quiet and
flat until after the Fed reported on Wednesday. It now looks like the
metals are trying to get a jump on the Fed and have started to rally
early.
Friday saw gold
trade as low as $1,412 and suddenly the metal is back over $1,440.
There was a late-day rally Monday with some early morning follow-through
today. The key to watch in gold is the $1,450 level, since a close
above would signal $1,500 is not far behind. Silver looks like it wants to join the rally and push through $17.
Expectations are the Fed will cut rates by 25 basis points; that
would be bullish for the metals. Falling interest rates make metals more
attractive. Tie in bullish technicals with a clueless Fed and we should
see higher gold and silver prices.

Highlights:
Discovery of two new mineralized showings at Hopedale, Labrador
First showing extends potential strike length by approximately 500 metres along strike of the Thurber Dog gold occurrence;
Second showing was discovered in the Misery North area and followed for approximately 50 metres along strike.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 26, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —
Labrador Gold Corp. (TSX-V: LAB) (“Labrador Gold†or the “Companyâ€) is
pleased to announce the discovery of two new mineralized showings
shortly after the start of field work at its Hopedale project in
Labrador.
The company controls a 57-kilometre strike length of stratigraphy
prospective for gold in the Florence Lake Greenstone Belt (FLGB). The
current program aims to generate drill targets within these areas using
detailed geological mapping, rock sampling and prospecting and ground
magnetics/VLF-EM (very low frequency electromagnetics).
Shortly after the start up of field work two new mineralized showings
were discovered and sampled. The first showing is located approximately
500 metres north and along strike of the Thurber Dog gold occurrence
where previous Labrador Gold rock sampling returned values up to 7.87
g/t Au. Mineralization is comprised of disseminated to semi-massive
pyrite and arsenopyrite hosted by mafic metavolcanic rocks with
pervasive iron oxide alteration.
The second occurrence “Sunshine†was found in the Misery North area
of the belt and is a two-metre-wide gossanous zone that was followed and
sampled for approximately 50 metres along strike. It is hosted by
altered felsic metavolcanic rocks close to the contact with mafic
metavolcanics rocks where the rock is pervasively silicified.
Mineralization is dominated by disseminated pyrite, locally up to 60%
with minor pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite. Limited previous rock sampling
by Labrador Gold at Misery North has returned gold values up to 0.56 g/t
Au.
“The early results of our 2019 exploration program at Hopedale are
very promising and indicate that our systematic approach to exploration
of the belt is getting us into the most favourable areas for gold
mineralization.†said Roger Moss, President and Chief Executive Officer
of Labrador Gold. “We anticipate further discoveries as we continue our
detailed, systematic follow up of the remaining anomalous areas that
will allow us to select the best targets for drilling.â€
The 2019 exploration program at Hopedale is designed to follow up on successful results of 2017 and 2018 work that outlined eight high potential areas of gold anomalies in both soil and rock in the belt (see table below and maps at www.labradorgold.com/portfolio/hopedale/ ). These areas typically occur along geological contacts and are commonly associated with magnetic anomalies. To date the company has collected 12,510 soil samples, 414 lake sediment samples and 633 rock samples along the length of the greenstone belt.
*See news releases dated February 5, 2019 and March 13, 2019 for further details of the results. Bd = below detection: 5ppb for rock and 0.5ppb for soil.

About Labrador Gold:
Labrador Gold is a Canadian based mineral exploration company focused
on the acquisition and exploration of prospective gold projects in the
Americas. In 2017 Labrador Gold signed a Letter of Intent under which
the Company has the option to acquire 100% of the 896 square kilometre
(km2) Ashuanipi property in northwest Labrador and the Hopedale (458
km2) property in eastern Labrador.
The Hopedale property covers much of the Hunt River and Florence Lake
greenstone belts that stretch over 80 km. The belts are typical of
greenstone belts around the world but have been underexplored by
comparison. Initial work by Labrador Gold during 2017 show gold
anomalies in soils and lake sediments over a 3 kilometre section of the
northern portion of the Florence Lake greenstone belt in the vicinity of
the known Thurber Dog gold showing where grab samples assayed up to
7.8g/t gold. In addition, anomalous gold in soil and lake sediment
samples occur over approximately 40 kilometres along the southern
section of the greenstone belt (see news release dated January 25th 2018
for more details). Labrador Gold now controls approximately 57km strike
length of the Florence Lake Greenstone Belt.
The Ashuanipi gold project is located just 35 km from the historical
iron ore mining community of Schefferville, which is linked by rail to
the port of Sept Iles, Quebec in the south. The claim blocks cover large
lake sediment gold anomalies that, with the exception of local
prospecting, have not seen a systematic modern day exploration program.
Results of the 2017 reconnaissance exploration program following up the
lake sediment anomalies show gold anomalies in soils and lake sediments
over a 15 kilometre long by 2 to 6 kilometre wide north-south trend and
over a 14 kilometre long by 2 to 4 kilometre wide east-west trend. The
anomalies appear to be broadly associated with magnetic highs and do not
show any correlation with specific rock types on a regional scale (see
news release dated January 18th 2018). This suggests a possible
structural control on the localization of the gold anomalies. Historical
work 30 km north on the Quebec side led to gold intersections of up to
2.23 grams per tonne (g/t) Au over 19.55 metres (not true width)
(Source: IOS Services Geoscientifiques, 2012, Exploration and geological
reconnaissance work in the Goodwood River Area, Sheffor Project, Summer
Field Season 2011). Gold in both areas appears to be associated with
similar rock types.
The Company has 56,264,022 common shares issued and outstanding and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol LAB.

Drilling at the C.O.D. North vein – 421m has been drilled in 7 holes
1,965m drilled in 32 holes on the main COD vein – Assays Due
Drill testing “Anomaly” at depths between 500 and 800 metres
The anomaly is interpreted as a pipe-like structure measuring 1834 by 1377m
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 24, 2019 / GGX
Gold Corp. (TSX-v: GGX), (OTCQB: GGXXF), (FRA: 3SR2) (the “Company†or
“GGXâ€) provides the following update on its exploration activities at
its Gold Drop property in the Greenwood Mining Camp.
Drilling resumed as of July 16 at the C.O.D. North vein. As of July
22, a total of 421 metres has been drilled in 7 holes on the COD North,
in addition to the total of 1,965 metres drilled in 32 holes on the main
COD vein. An initial batch of samples was submitted for analyses in
late June, but assays have not yet been received.
Preparations are also underway to drill a relatively deep hole on a
geophysical anomaly (refer to news release dated July 4). Drill rods and
bits have been purchased and a night shift drill crew has been
arranged. The drill site has been selected and verified by a
representative for Earth Science Services Corporation of Oshawa, Ontario
(ESSCO). The initial hole is planned to be drilled to test the target
zone at depths between 500 and 800 metres. The anomaly is interpreted as
a pipe-like structure that measures 1834 by 1377 metres.
The Company also announces that it has repriced the flow through
portion of its private placement originally announced on June 18, 2019.
The non brokered private placement will now be an offering of up to
4,000,000 flow through units at a price of Cdn$0.25 per unit for gross

Next level for gold is $1500
Ray Dalio, Billionaire hedge fund manager pro gold
Potential interest rate cuts gold positive
Now that gold has broken through the $1,450 an ounce level, a six-high year high, the next big test is $1,500. And as I’ve said before, it can do this in the blink of an eye under the right conditions.
We may end up seeing those conditions emerge sooner rather than later.
Last Thursday, Federal Reserve Bank of New York President John
Williams seemed to indicate that a rate cut could be expected later this
month, saying that central bankers need to “act quickly†as economic
growth cools. Although he later clarified his comment, claiming he was
simply citing research and not forecasting central bank action, the
price of gold jumped as much as 2 percent on the news before closing
above $1,440 for the first time since May 2013.
Investors took some profits last Friday, knocking the price down
around 1 percent after gold started to look overbought a day earlier.
The metal was up two standard deviations over the past 60 trading days,
its highest level since April 2016. I would consider each pullback such
as this a buying opportunity, though, because I believe the best is yet
to come for the metal.
Gold Price Up Two Standard Deviations
U.S. Global Investors
Ray Dalio seems to agree. In a lengthy post on LinkedIn—Dalio’s
favorite platform for getting the word out—the billionaire hedge fund
manager writes that he thinks we’re on the verge of a new economic
paradigm shift and that central banks’ accommodative policies, from low
rates to quantitative easing (QE), are unsustainable. To hedge against
this, Dalio says, “I believe that it would be both risk-reducing and
return-enhancing to consider adding gold to one’s portfolio.†Most
investors are underweighted in gold, “meaning that if they just wanted
to have a better balanced portfolio to reduce risk, they would have more
of this sort of asset,†he writes.
A Monster Rally for Juniors
Select junior and micro-cap gold and precious metal miners also
posted very strong growth over the past week, mostly on positive
drilling results. In a press release dated July 15, Brixton Metals
announced encouraging results at its wholly owned Thorn
Gold-Copper-Silver Project in British Columbia. Gary Thompson, chairman
and CEO of the Vancouver-based explorer and developer, said that Brixton
“continues to unlock a mountain of value†at the property, which
exhibits even greater mineralization than was previously thought.
Junior Miners Had a Strong Week
U.S. Global Investors
As for silver, I’m pleased to see that it’s finally playing “catch
up†to gold, its price having hit a 52-week high after an incredible six
straight days of gains.
Silver Is Trying to Narrow Its Gap With Gold
U.S. Global Investors
The Bullish Calls on Gold Continue
With gold having already broken out of its five-year trading range, is the best still yet to come?
I believe it is. And I’m not alone. Read what some analysts and strategists have to say:
Alpine Macro
“The Fed is getting ready to cut interest rates, which should set in
motion a multi-year bear market in the dollar,†write analysts at Alpine
Macro in a research note dated June 28. A weaker U.S. dollar is one of
three “key ingredients†for a bull market, according to Alpine Macro,
the other two being a more accommodative Fed and rising geopolitical
risks.
“The technical break above $1,400 an ounce is a positive sign,†the
firm adds. “New all-time highs for gold should be seen in the coming
years.â€
World Gold Council (WGC)
“The prospect of lower interest rates should support gold investment
demand,†the World Gold Council (WGC) says in its mid-year outlook. “Our
research indicates that the gold price was higher in the 12 months
following the end of a tightening cycle. Moreover, historical gold
returns are more than twice their long-term average during periods of
negative real rates—like the one we are likely to see later this year.â€
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC)
“We continue to see no signs of rate hikes on the horizon over the
next several years, and historically have seen gold continue on an
upward trajectory beyond the last rate cut,†writes CIBC in a note dated
July 14.
The bank points out that in two previous gold bull market cycles—in
the 1970s and 2000s—negative real rates were the main contributing
factor.
“During the last two major periods when real rates stayed below the 2
percent level and actually ticked into negative territory, the gold
price moved over 320 percent in the 1970s… and approximately 400 percent
from 2004 to peak in 2011.â€

SPONSOR: GGX’s Gold Drop property, situated in one of the most prolific gold-copper mining camps of North America, the Greenwood-Republic mining camp. The current 2019 drill program is following up on the 2018 drilling which intercepted high grade gold-silver results (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.

Central Banks Return to Gold
Central banks bought more gold in 2018 than at any time since the early 1970s
Bullion holdings rose by 651.5 tons last year, the most since 1971
In the 1990s, gold was an unloved asset among central banks. Reserve managers lent or sold their gold, particularly in Europe, and the gold price fell to a low of US$250/oz. Years of persistent selling triggered the Central Bank Gold Agreement of 1999, under which signatories agreed to limit collective sales to 400 tonnes per annum, put a cap on gold leasing and take a disciplined approach to gold futures and options.
The Agreement delivered two clear benefits: it helped to stabilise
the gold price and increased transparency around central bank gold
sales. Today, however, sentiment towards gold has been transformed and
gold has regained its status as a valuable and highly regarded reserve
asset.
In 2018 alone, central banks bought 651 tonnes of gold, up 74% compared to 2017 and the highest level since 1971.
Key Changes
A glance back over the past 20 years highlights some of the key changes in central bank behaviour.
First, central banks have rapidly and consistently added to their
foreign exchange reserves since the Asian crisis of 1998. Reserves are a
crucial element in a country’s armoury, providing protection against
both domestic and external shocks and acting as a show of confidence to
the outside world. Emerging market economies led the charge in this
respect, sending worldwide foreign exchange reserves from around US$3
trillion (tn) in 2000 to approximately US$13tn in 2014. Purchases have
plateaued over the past five years but still stand at some US$13tn
today.
The dollar is the most widely held reserve asset but, according to
International Monetary Fund statistics, gold comes third, accounting for
11% of global reserves. Having been net sellers until 2000, central
banks have been net buyers ever since. In 2018 alone, central banks
bought 651 tonnes of gold, up 74% compared to 2017 and the highest level
since 1971. Over the past decade, central banks have purchased more
than 4,300 tonnes of gold, taking their total holdings to around 34,000
tonnes today. The trend has continued in 2019, with net purchases
reaching 90 tonnes before the end of the first quarter.
Notably too, central bank buying has been geographically diverse. Russia
has been the most committed purchaser of gold – acquiring almost 275
tonnes in 2018, the largest amount ever purchased in a single year.
China has been consistently adding to its reserves as well, but many
other emerging market countries have been accumulating gold over the
past year and more, including Hungary, Poland, Egypt, Kazakhstan and
India.
The Drivers
What is the rationale behind this renewed interest in gold? First,
heightened uncertainty about the global economic and geo-political
outlook and second, gold’s intrinsic value as a reserve asset.
Ten years after the Global Financial Crisis, the macro-economic
outlook remains fragile and hard to read. In April, the IMF outlook
highlighted weakening GDP growth, with risks skewed to the downside. As
IMF Chief Economist Gita Gopinath explained, the global economy is at “a
delicate momentâ€. Advanced economies are predicted to grow by just 1.8%
in 2019 and 1.7% in 2020, while growth in the Euro area is expected to
be even lower, at 1.6% and 1.5% respectively. The emerging market growth
trajectory is more solid (4.4% in 2019 and 4.8% in 2020) but risks
remain tilted downwards.
Trade tensions are a major unknown. They have already had a negative
impact on growth and if the US and China do not reach a genuine truce,
the global outlook may worsen further. Fears of retaliation and
escalation may hit business investment, supply chains may be disrupted,
and productivity may slow across the world stage. The Euro area faces
specific challenges too. Business confidence is low, especially in
Germany due to the introduction of new fuel emission standards in the
auto industry. Fiscal policy is affecting Italian sovereign and
commercial bank spreads. And, of course, uncertainty about Brexit
persists, particularly as the exit date has now been postponed to
October 2019.
Furthermore, global geo-political risks have not abated and may have a
negative impact on economic activity. Idiosyncratic risks are
increasing too, such as the rise of populist governments in Latin
America and across Europe.
What is the rationale behind this renewed
interest in gold? First, heightened uncertainty about the global
economic and geo-political outlook and second, gold’s intrinsic value as
a reserve asset.
Gold Advantages
All these uncertainties accentuate negative market sentiment and
drive central bank investors to reallocate their portfolios away from
risky assets to safe haven assets.
This is where gold comes into its own, as it fulfils central banks’ three core objectives: safety, liquidity and return.
Gold is well known as a safe haven asset. It carries no credit risk,
has little or no correlation with other assets and the price generally
increases in times of stress. As such, it offers valuable protection in
times of crisis.
Gold is highly liquid too. It can easily be traded in global market
centres, such as London and New York. It can be used in swap
transactions to raise liquidity when needed and it can be actively
managed by reserve managers.
Gold can also enhance the risk/return profile of a central bank portfolio. Its lack of correlation to other major reserve assets makes it an effective portfolio diversifier and, over the long term, it delivers higher returns than many other assets.Â

Drilling has resumed at the C.O.D. North vein, where sample results last year ranged up to 21.7 grams per tonne gold over 0.4m
The new geophysical anomaly on the Gold Drop property is centered at the intersection of three interpreted major fault-conduit structural lineaments two of which are coincident with known structures: C.O.D. vein system and a cross-fault.
The anomaly measures 1834 by 1377m and is interpreted as a pipe-like structure requiring drilling to a depth of at least 400 and up to 764 metres.
The most significant gold drill intersections (core length) from the phase 3 diamond drilling on the COD vein are as follows:

Lomiko is in an ideal position to participate in the burgeoning Electric Vehicle market
Has the potential to become a North American supplier of graphite materials with La Loutre graphite project located in Quebec, Canada.
Graphite is a major and critical material in the manufacture of lithium-ion and other batteries, specifically battery anodes
Vancouver, B.C., July 16, 2019 — July 16, 2019– Lomiko Metals Inc. (TSX-V: LMR, OTC: LMRMF, FSE: DH8C)(Lomiko or the “Companyâ€) has
been keenly watching the lithium-ion battery market in anticipation of
identifying an opportunity to participate in the supply of materials for
electric vehicles with its La Loutre graphite project located in
Quebec, Canada. Lomiko is focused on advancing the La Loutre graphite
property and is looking to deliver a NI 43-101 graphite resource based
on the success of its recently completed drilling campaign at the
Refractory Zone. This will add to the previously announced 43-101
graphite resource at the adjacent Graphene-Battery zone announced March, 2016.
A. Paul Gill, CEO states, “Lomiko believes that it is in an ideal
position to participate in the burgeoning Electric Vehicle market, with
the potential to become a North American supplier of graphite materials,
a market currently dominated by foreign supply from China. Graphite is a
major and critical material in the manufacture of lithium-ion and other
batteries, specifically battery anodesâ€.
According to Benchmark Minerals, graphite anode demand is set to
increase from 194,160 tonnes in 2017 to 1,080,360 tonnes by 2023 and
1,747,800 tonnes by 2028. [Source: INN Graphite Investing News]
On February 4, 2019, Simon Moores of Benchmark Mineral Intelligence
raised supply and demand concerns in a submission to the US Senate which
was echoed by Energy and Natural Resource Committee Chair Senator Lisa
Murkowski in a February 5, 2019 News Release: “In contrast to the energy
sector, our nation is headed in the wrong direction on mineral imports.
This is our Achilles’ heel that serves to empower and enrich other
nations, while costing us jobs and international competitiveness,â€
Murkowski said. Lomiko brought this crucial opportunity to the attention
of shareholders in a February 8, 2019.
Recent announcements and cooperation agreements on electric vehicle
and self-driving cars between Ford and Volkswagen indicate automakers
are taking action to put millions of electric vehicles on the road. Raw
material demand for graphite, lithium and nickel sourced from North
American is likely to increase as a result. Ford
said its battery electric vehicle rollout will start in 2020 with a
performance utility, and it plans to launch 16 battery electric vehicles
by 2022.
In other positive developments,
Quebec Premier Francois Legault reiterated his commitment to make the
Province the ‘Green Battery’ of North America through investments in
electric buses and trams while British Columbia Premier John Horgan aims
to eliminate all gas-powered cars by 2040.
