      Short Updates on Benchmark, TriStar Gold, Precipitate Gold and Lion One

      Bob Moriarty for Streetwise Reports (7/23/20)

      “Investors are going to have to read between the lines for the meaning of the latest press release from Precipitate Gold Corp. (PRG:TSX.V; PREIF:OTCBB) but I will give you a big hint. This is exactly what you want to see if you want to find another Pueblo Viejo gold deposit. With a $25 million market cap, PRG is a giant sleeper. Naturally the truth detector will be the drill rig but the company is coming up with the ground survey results that you want to see in a big deposit. Pueblo Viejo is the largest gold mine in the Americas and the 8th largest in the world. All shares in juniors are lottery tickets but the Precipitate lotto has a giant potential payoff.”

      “Like Benchmark and TriStar, the market understands the potential and is willing to pay up for Lion One Metals Ltd. (LIO:TSX.V; LOMLF:OTCQX) with a market cap of about $220 million today. But Lion One owns a whole alkaline gold system in a region where such deposits are measuring 10-20 million ounces. Their latest report on drilling from the company just out a couple of days ago suggests they have found the feeder structure they have been looking for. Drilling is continuing and assays are pending.”

    ex, i notice you like precipitate in dominican rep, but how do you like goldquest also having a presence there.

      Jul 24, 2020 24:43 AM

      Hi dw jones. Yeah, I’ve got a nice position in Precipitate Gold and think they have a ton of potential to find a massive deposit, like Bob Moriarty mentioned in his article linked at the top, and I’m confident that with JV partners like Barrick Gold that others are anticipating big things as well.

      Yes, I like Goldquest (who are close to them) and Eric Coffin mentioned about a week ago that Precipitate has held back a bit of newsflow in sympathey with Goldquest so that they both can get their permits from the new government in the D.R.

      I was considering adding (GQC), but when I started learning about (PRG) and that Quinton Hennigh was involved, I jumped on it earlier, and it has been running the last few months. Fun times!

      Chris V. see the Fib extension in Silver to head up to $24.36. Nice!

        Jul 24, 2020 24:11 AM

        Chris V. is also only expecting a mild 8-16% correction. That would be a good spot to add.

        Jul 24, 2020 24:16 AM

        dw, Ex has a corner office at Sprott Asset Management, diagonally across from his good buddy Eric, they don’t let you off the elevator unless you are wearing slippers. LOL! DT

            Ex, I wish we could go back to the days when we would gather at Joe’s bar for an all Saturday night session, complete with cigars and an ample supply of bottles with cracked ice on hand. DT

            Jul 24, 2020 24:00 AM

            DT – I never stopped, we just moved Joe’s bar to my buddy’s house with a big backyard, ample patio room, a monster grill, fire pits, and a saltwater pool. The only dilemma is which whiskey or bourbon should we pick for the evening, and should we stuff those cigars with a different kind of leaf. (haha!)

            Jul 24, 2020 24:17 AM

            Yeah, a big one ounce cigar for all the patrons! DT

    Miners Can’t Keep Up With Gold’s Breakneck Rally

    Thu, 07/23/2020 – By Michael Msika, macro commentator at Bloomberg

    “Gold prices have been rising since March, and the rally still has legs as the Covid-19 pandemic, dovish policies, a weaker dollar and potential inflation all bode well for the metal. But while prices are getting close to record highs, miners of the precious metal are still far away from their 2011 highs, which means there could be room for a catch-up rally in the sector.”

    “Gold miners have outperformed during this yearโ€™s market rout, and have continued to climb during the recovery. Meanwhile, escalating tensions between the U.S. and China are adding to the case for the haven.”

    โ€œThe environment is still looking very good for gold and gold miners,โ€ Amundi Asset Management fund manager Arnaud du Plessis wrote earlier this month, arguing that central banks are staying on full alert as the resurgence of Covid-19 in some parts of the world is creating fears of a second wave.”

    “M&A could be an additional driver for gold miners, as historically such global activity in the sector accelerates when the metalโ€™s price is buoyant, says Bank of America analyst Michael Jalonen. In fact, deals heated up in the second quarter with 12 transactions announced, the highest quarterly total since 2012, with a total transaction value of $2.86 billion, nearly double that in the first quarter,” he says.

    World population 7.8 Billion. Total Covid-19 cases worldwide 15.5 million. That is 0.19% -Of this, there have been 622,122 reported deaths. That is 0.008% of the population. Which gives you better than a 99.9% chance of NOT dying from Covid-19… You see without the fear being pushed on you, they cannot sell vaccines and drugs, nor justify shutting down the world economy. Because if people really knew that the chances of them catching, and dying from Covid-19 were 0.01% they would start to think. what the hell is really going on?
