Precious Metals And Commodities Are Entering A Bull Market That Could Last Over A Decade

Palm Beach, FL – May 13, 2021 – It’s common knowledge that the Pandemic has driven the price of precious metals to all time highs over the last year… but how long will it affect the price of gold and the other precious metals. A recent article from Markets Insider reported what the experts from Goldman Sachs (GS) see on this subject. As it turns out, GS projects that the Bull Market for gold will continue through 2021… and they gave a few reasons why. They are inflation, the weakening Dollar and retail demand.   The article said that: “Inflation expectations move higher. In this cycle, we believe the gold market, at least initially, is likely to follow the same path as after the Great Financial Crisis and grow strongly into the recovery phase of the business cycle as inflation concerns become central to the forecast,” Goldman said. Goldman’s economics team forecasts a temporary bounce in inflation to 3% next year, which could help spur demand for gold. And with policies surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic focused on fiscal spending, combined with household balance sheets at better levels than they were coming out of the 2008 recession, “the Fed appears more willing to tolerate a temporary inflation overshoot,” Goldman said. “This may well lead to market participant concerns over the long-term inflation rate and more inflows into gold in order to hedge it,” Goldman said.    Active stocks in the mining markets this week include Calibre Mining Corp. (OTCQX: CXBMF) (TSX: CXB), First Quantum Minerals Ltd.  (OTCPK: FQVLF) (TSX:FM), Capstone Mining Corp. (OTCPK: CSFFF) (TSX:CS), Denison Mines Corp. (NYSE: DNN) (TSX: DML), Centerra Gold Inc. (NYSE: CGAU) (TSX: CG).

 

It continued: “The US dollar weakens. Goldman expects the falling US dollar to continue trending lower into 2021, which should help support gold prices. “A breakdown in the correlation of gold and long term real rates has been pretty common with its correlation switching to the dollar and other commodities during these breakdown periods,” Goldman explained. “The breakdown of negative gold price changes and real rates correlation typically happens when the positive rates-dollar correlation disappears. This is the environment which our FX and rates strategists expect in 2021,” Goldman said.

 

Calibre Mining Corp. (OTCQX: CXBMF) (TSX: CXB) BREAKING NEWS:  CALIBRE ANNOUNCES CONTINUED SUCCESS EXPANDING RESOURCES AND IDENTIFYING NEW ZONES AT THE LIMON COMPLEX – EXPLORATION DRILLING INTERCEPTED 13.35 G/T GOLD OVER 3.2 METRES AT VETA NUEVA AND STEP OUT DRILLING AT ATRAVESADA INTERCEPTED 5.5 G/T GOLD OVER 7.1 METRES – Calibre Mining Corp. (“Calibre” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update in respect of the Company’s 2021 drilling program, highlighting both exploration and infill holes at high-grade underground targets within the Company’s producing Limon Mine Complex.

 

Resource Expansion Highlights –

Atravesada & Veta Nueva Underground

 

  • 85 g/t Au 5.5 metres Estimated True Width (‘ETW’) from 302.4 metres (LIM-21-4548)
  • 50 g/t Au over 7.1 metres ETW from 285.5 metres (LIM-21-4549)
  • 35 g/t Au over 3.2 metres ETW from 86.9 metres in new vein structure (LIM-21-4537)

 

Panteon & Santa Pancha 1 Underground

 

  • 42 g/t Au over 2.0 metres ETW from 304.8 metres (in the Panteon hanging wall vein) and 3.01 g/t Au over 3.5 metres ETW from 347.3 metres (in the Panteon main vein) (LIM-20-4540)
  • 24 g/t Au over 5.5 metres ETW from 195.6 metres (in the Santa Pancha vein) and 6.89 g/t Au over 2.0 metres ETW from 241.1 metres (in the Panteon main vein) (LIM-21-4535)
  • 58 g/t Au over 1.8 metres ETW from 331.2 metres (LIM-20-4546)
  • 95 g/t Au over 4.9 metres ETW from 67.9 metres (LIM-21-4550)
  • 40 g/t Au over 2.3 metres ETW from 344.2 metres (LIM-21-4551)

 

Darren Hall, President & Chief Executive Officer of Calibre, stated: “Initial results from our 2021 multi-rig drill program at our Limon operations continue to confirm strong resource expansion potential. Since the discovery of the Panteon deposit in 2020, I am pleased with the resource growth potential and the teams’ ability to advance development, putting us in a position to commence high-grade ore production this quarter, all within 12 months of discovery. With over 15 rigs operating across our operating and advanced exploration sites, I have no doubt we will continue to see success.”

 

Resource Expansion Drilling – Exploration and step-out delineation drilling at the Atravesada deposit continues to return positive results. Drill hole LIM-21-4548 intersected 4.85 g/t Au over 5.5 metres ETW at a down-hole depth of 302 metres and approximately 50 metres below the current mineral resource. Hole LIM-21-4549 drilled on a separate ore shoot 100 metres along strike to the southwest intercepted 5.5 g/t Au over 7.1 metres ETW at a down-hole depth of 285.5 metres.

 

Exploration drilling continues to test the potential to delineate additional resources along strike to the east and west of the central area of the mine. Drilling at Veta Nueva has also intercepted a new vein structure located approximately 190 metres to the north of the mine in hole LIM-21-4537 which intersected 13.35 g/t Au over 3.2 metres ETW at a down-hole depth of 87 metres, further demonstrating favorable potential for continued resource growth within proximity to existing underground infrastructure. During Q1 development of an underground access drive commenced to link Veta Nueva and Atravesada, which lies 600 metres east. As at December 31, 2020, the Atravesada mineral resource is estimated to contain 171,000 tonnes grading 6.20 g/t Au containing 34,000 ounces in the indicated category and 215,000 tonnes grading 6.36 g/t Au containing 44,000 ounces in the inferred category 1 .

 

Exploration and infill drilling at Panteon and Santa Pancha 1 (‘SP1’) likewise continues to deliver positive results. Drill hole LIM-21-4532, which targeted both vein structures, intersected 4.76 g/t Au over 1.9 metres ETW at 114 m down hole in the SP1 vein followed by 12.94 g/t Au over 4.4 metres ETW at 198 metres down-hole in the main Panteon vein. Both intercepts occur along the southern limits of currently defined resources, demonstrating good potential to extend mineral resources along strike toward the southeast where the two veins converge. Drilling at Panteon has also intersected high grade gold mineralization lateral to the main structure with hole LIM-21-4540 intersecting 13.42 g/t Au over 2.0 metres at 305 metres down-hole in a narrow vein located approximately 25 metres away from the currently defined resource. At SP1, positive results from exploration drilling along strike and down dip has likewise returned positive results. Drill hole LIM-21-4550 intersected 5.95 g/t Au over 4.9 metres ETW at 67.9 metres down-hole at shallow depth near the entrance ramp to the mine, while hole LIM-21-4551 intersected 5.40 g/t Au over 2.3 metres ETW at 344 metres down-hole. These results further demonstrate good potential for the continued expansion of resources both along strike, down dip and lateral to the Panteon and SP1 vein systems. Exploration drilling will continue through Q2 targeting potential resource additions at Panteon and Santa Pancha 1.  CONTINUED….
