Investors are running back to the safe haven of gold. All thanks to rising inflation, with consumer prices up 5.4% in June, the biggest monthly gain in about 13 years. If we exclude food and energy, core inflation was up 4.5%, its biggest move in about 30 years. “Inflation is a significant risk facing investors, which is why now might be the best time to turn to safe-haven assets such as gold, said Adam Trexler, founder and president of Valaurum, as quoted by Kitco. “The best time to buy gold is before a crisis. This is now a really good time for people to be stocking up, as it were. Because in the event of widespread inflation, we think the gold price will go up much more.” Little wonder there’s interest in gold stocks, such as

TRU Precious Metals Corp.
(TSXV:TRU)(OTCQB:TRUIF) Options Property with Visible Gold in Further Expansion of Golden Rose Project
TRU Precious Metals Corp.
just announced
that it has entered into an option agreement dated July 13, 2021 with an arm’s length individual, in respect of 5 mineral licenses covering 51
contiguous claims (12.75 square kilometres (km2)) located in west-central Newfoundland, on which the Company has found visible gold. The Optioned Claims are contiguous with the Company’s flagship Golden Rose project. In addition, the Company has indirectly staked a larger land package surrounding the Optioned Claims.
TRU Co-Founder and CEO Joel Freudman commented: “I am excited about this option to add to our district-scale land package at the Golden Rose Project. TRU has moved aggressively in recent weeks to expand our footprint here, and the presence of visible gold on the Optioned Claims further bolsters the geological merit of Golden Rose. Having now tactically consolidated some of the most prospective property within and surrounding Golden Rose, for the time being we are satisfied that we have achieved one of our strategic objectives previously announced only one month ago on June 15th, namely property acquisitions contiguous with or close to the Company’s existing properties. With these acquisitions completed at Golden Rose, we believe we are ideally positioned for further discoveries there as we continue to carry out our comprehensive ground-level exploration program in anticipation of drilling Golden Rose later this year.”
Highlights
– Due diligence sampling and panning on the Optioned Claims by TRU management consistently returned numerous pristine to modified gold grains. These gold grains were found within a few meters of a partially exposed hardpan gossan (oxidized rock formation often found above mineral occurrences) consisting of iron oxide encrusted quartz grains and other minerals.
– A single large sample collected on the Optioned Claims by TRU was sent to Overburden Drilling Management Limited of Ottawa, Ontario, whose analysis identified 97 visible gold grains
that may have a nearby source.
