It was a crazy Friday for markets! After a slow week all eyes were on Jerome Powell and his speech at Jackson Hole. However China and Trump stole the day with tariffs and tweets. This caused equity markets and the Dollar to crash as gold and treasuries were bought throughout the day.

    Thanks for the show, Cory.

    Anything the Fed does from here on out has NOTHING to do with the economy.
    Interest rates will drop to decrease the carry-cost of the debt; everything else is obfuscation.

    Aug 24, 2019 24:20 AM

    The Fed will have to fork out more money, darn that fork is everywhere. The Fed should move their treasury building to Nebraska where the corn huskers can show them how to use a real fork. DT

      Aug 24, 2019 24:22 AM

      The fork that was dropped in the road yesterday is now a pitchfork.

        Aug 24, 2019 24:48 AM

        You probably wondered why Jerome Powell is called a “pitchman”. It ain’t from pitchin peaches. I don’t know who started this but I think it could go viral. That is how The Fed fertilizes the economy with a pitchfork. LOL! DT

    Sprott Money News Weekly Wrap-up – 8.23.19

    Aug 23, 2019

    “Eric Sprott returns this week to discuss negative interest rates, the failing global economy and growing demand for physical gold and silver.”

    https://youtu.be/X1ChQHMUjw8?t=1

    ______________________________________________________

    [Eric also mentioned in the Q&A section that he has a small position in Impact Silver (IPT), but didn’t seem to know many of the fundamentals for the company. Regardless, good to see Sprott involved in so many Jrs these days as I hold a number of them like JAG, PGM, KTN, EXN, and USAS.]

      Aug 24, 2019 24:05 AM

      I’ve had dozens of trades in USAS the last few years, and was just reflecting back on what wild ride it’s been, and it appears to just be really getting started.

      http://schrts.co/TtsXdpxb

        Aug 24, 2019 24:17 AM

        Sprott also has a stake in (RNX) (RNKLF) RNC Minerals and they’ve been busy as of late:

        Aug 25, 2019 25:10 AM

        👍👍 USAS has been very very good to me!! Ex – what do you make of golden valley these days?

          Aug 25, 2019 25:57 PM

          Yes – I’ve done well with USAS since 2016 and have had a number of great trades.

          As for GZZ Golden Valley – I like it as much as I have the last few years as a profit dumpster royalty company. The stake they retain owning a bit less than half of Abitibi Royalties is still undervalued, and this doesn’t take into their strategic positions in a few other companies, or royalties with Bonterra, Sirios, and a few other companies. It is difficult to value their whole portfolio, but is surely is much higher than current prices. I’m just sitting on my position at present as it has been in the money for a while and leaving it alone as more a passive stake. I may add to it as things progress, but currently I’m adding more to Sailfish Royatlies, and want to get back into my position with Maverix and start a position in Metalla. For now I see more upside in the individual miners, but when they run further, I’ll peel some more off to put in the royalty companies.

            Aug 26, 2019 26:31 AM

            Thanks Ex – I was thinking about starting a position in Sailfish. I haven’t looked at the chart lately. Have some Metalla and GZZ. Trying to slowly build out some royalty names to act as ballast against the higher volality names in the rest of my miner portfolio. Thanks for your thoughts and good trading.

        I agree with Jay on these 5 Gold developers, and own ORE Orezone, but I’d also include Pure Gold, Great Bear, Sabina Gold & Silver, Minera Alamos, West Kirkland, Falco, and Treasury Metals on this Developers list.

          Scorpio Gold, while a prior producer, and still iminimally producing off their heap leach pads, is really back as more a “development-stage” where they just got their permits to take things to the next level at Mineral Ridge. Looking forward to watching this one reboot as Scorpio Gold 2.0, bit still grow under the radar of most resource investors.

          Scorpio is on the same mineral trend with West Kirkland, Corvus, and Northern Empire that was acquired by Coeur, but it receives far less attention….. for now.

            CRUX Investor – Aug 21, 2019

            “Interview with Darin Labrenz, President & CEO of Gold Developer Pure Gold Mining (TSX-V:PGM). If you want to invest in mining or invest in gold you need to be sure about the company’s strategy and the management team’s ability to deliver. Pure Gold recently closed a debt financing agreement with Sprott for $90M. This follows closely on from an equity raise in July for $47.5M. This means that they are fully financed through to production by the end of 2020.”

            Aug 24, 2019 24:26 PM

            Looking at where they wanted to go in April in that first video, and where PGM is today, I’d say they delivered in spades on their guidance and milestones — sadly this is something that is very rare in the mining space.

            Aug 24, 2019 24:25 PM

            Shhhhhh…..I’ve been busy travelling through Norway and I take a quick peek in here and you’re giving all this info on Pure Gold.🙄. I’m looking to accumulate Pure Gold when I get back and see if I have any money left. Norway is outstanding and I highly recommend it but it’s definitely not cheap.

            Aug 24, 2019 24:48 PM

            Haha! The secret is out on Pure Gold…. Only kidding, as the stock has stayed rangebound and not surged up with many stocks, but this has been true of a number of the development-stage companies. There doesn’t appear to be a rush to get into PGM yet, so enjoy the travels…. it will still be a great opportunity when you get back from vactiona. Enjoy Norway!!

            Aug 24, 2019 24:50 PM

            vactiona = vacation

            Aug 25, 2019 25:38 PM

            They REALLY paid up for that 90M from Sprott! Don’t know about the 47.5M. Marin Katusa is selling his FWIW………will be a while for any real profits IMO. May go up with the general gold market.

            Aug 25, 2019 25:52 PM

            That capital raise was for construction and to get into production. I believe they plan on being in production in mid 2020, so the ramp up has begun. The other variable is that they may get nabbed by a larger producer in a takeover before they ever make it to production, and that wouldn’t hurt my feelings either. 🙂

    Gold Mid-tiers’ Q2’19 Fundamentals

    Adam Hamilton-Zeal Intelligence | August 23, 2019

    “The mid-tier gold miners’ stocks have soared in recent months on gold’s decisive bull-market breakout. They are this sector’s sweet spot for stock-price upside potential, with room for strong production growth which investors love. That’s an attractive contrast to the stagnating major gold miners. The mid-tiers’ recently-reported Q2’19 results reveal whether their fundamentals justify their strong surge this summer.”

    “The definitive list of mid-tier gold miners to analyze comes from the GDXJ VanEck Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF. Despite its misleading name, GDXJ is totally dominated by mid-tier gold miners and not juniors. GDXJ is the world’s second-largest gold-stock ETF, with $4.5b of net assets this week. That is only behind its big-brother GDX VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF that includes the major gold miners.”

    Scorpio Gold managed to take back the 200 week MA and did so on good volume. Let’s see if it sticks…

      I’m ready to see Scorpio Gold make the next advance higher. Now that they are financed, have their permit, and are exploring again, it’s like they are launching a whole new chapter.

      Scorpio Gold 2.0

      Looking forward to it.

        Aug 25, 2019 25:42 PM

        They also got permission to get the old pits going again for production at Mineral Ridge, and permission to mine 3-4 new shallow pits. It’s possible they are in production by the end of the year, but at least by early 2020.

        Go Scorpio!

          Aug 25, 2019 25:45 PM

          > This major modification was approved by the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) and authorizes the following activities:

          – Addition of 1,500 acres to the existing project boundary for exploration purposes
          – Expansion of the existing open pits (Mary, Last Chance, Drinkwater and Brodie)
          – Development of four new pits (Custer, Custer South, Oromonte 1 and Oromonte 2)
          – Development and advancement of underground mining below existing and new pits
          – Construction of a 4,500 TPD processing facility with CIL recovery and tailings filtration circuits
          – Expansion of the existing heap leach pad to accommodate for the conversion of the facility to a dry stack tailings facility

          Chris Zerga, President and General Manager, comments “This is a game changer for the Mineral Ridge operation. We now have all the required permits in hand for this expansion and can proceed with sourcing project financing. The addition of a conventional milling circuit to the operation will improve recoveries while lowering mining cutoff grades and increase overall mining volumes. This should aide in the conversion of other existing resources to reserves as well as provide additional toll milling opportunities.”

    Josef is incorrect in his thinking of where oil is going. Oil is headed to $25. I think he needs better analysis on oil.
