Gold is still offering a golden opportunity. For one, inflationary data is supporting gold.
“Traders know that inflation isn’t going to ease off from its current level overnight, even though we may have seen a peak inflation situation,” said Naeem Aslam, chief market analyst at AvaTrade, as quoted by MarketWatch.com. “The other important point for gold traders is that if inflation has peaked, that means that the future trajectory of the [Federal Reserve’s] monetary policy isn’t going to be as hawkish as it currently is,” said Aslam. “This fact is also supporting the current gold price move.” That’s all positive news for companies such as

In addition, Goldman Sachs still believes the metal could see $2,500 by the end of the year—especially with fears of a potential recession. According to Jeff Currie, Goldman Sachs global head of commodities research, as quoted by Bloomberg, “It’s a perfect storm for gold right now.” In addition, “There’s three legs to this story. One, you have strong investor demand for gold over concerns about inflation, recessions, and downturn in places like Europe. The second leg is central bank buying … and with the situation in Russia, they’re likely to accumulate dollars in reserves they can’t do anything with. What can they do with it? Buy gold.”

Nine Mile Metals
just announced the Company’s initial Phase 1 drill program at its flagship Nine Mile Brook VMS Project in the world-famous Bathurst Mining Camp, in New Brunswick Canada. The Company has received all Drill and Forestry Permits from the New Brunswick Department of Energy and Mines for the Phase 1 drill program.
The Company has engaged a very experienced VMS drill crew from Lantech Drilling, based in Dieppe, New Brunswick. Utilizing an environmentally friendly track mounted drill rig, the Phase 1 drill program will consist of 4 to 6 drill holes targeting the mineralized horizon at the southern section of the Nine Mile Brook Property. Last year’s work program analysis defined two zones of mineralization at the southern area of Nine Mile Brook Property generated by our geophysical partner, EarthEX Geophysical Solutions. The Company’s Phase 1 drill program will test both targets. Upon completion of this Phase 1 drill program, the drill holes will be capped to facilitate Borehole Electro-Magnetic Surveying which identifies subsurface conductors along strike and at depth providing a 3D model of the mineralization. The results identified in the BHEM program will be tested in Phase 2 along with the forthcoming 3D AI Analysis that EarthEX Geophysical Solutions is currently processing.
“We look forward to commencing the Phase 1 drill program on the Nine Mile Brook VMS Project and working with EarthEX to expand the known mineralization and define additional, satellite source deposits in this highly prospective portion of the Bathurst Mining Camp. We anxiously await the new analysis EarthEX is currently processing for the Phase 2 drill program defining the strong conductor contact targets along the Spruce Lake formation host rocks for the source deposit. This part of the Bathurst Mining Camp has been under explored and with this new proprietary cutting-edge technology and AI processing, I am confident this area of the BMC will identify and discover further VMS High Grade economic deposits. We continue at Nine Mile Metals to drive shareholder value and growth of the Company’s economic asset base”, stated Patrick J Cruickshank, MBA – Director.
