Five Top Gold Stocks with Significant Upside Potential August 27, 2024 - Baystreet.ca Gold prices are testing higher highs. Last trading at $2,562, gold could easily test $2,700 this year, and possibly $3,000 by next year, according to analysts at Citi. Not only is the potential for interest rate cuts driving gold higher, but so is uncertainty with nearing elections and heightened tensions in the Middle East. All of which is also helping to fuel upside in gold stocks including Calibre Mining Corp. (TSX: CXB) (OTCQX: CXBMF), Barrick Gold (NYSE: GOLD) (TSX: ABX), Royal Gold Inc. (NASDAQ: RGLD), Franco Nevada (NYSE: FNV) (TSX: FNV), and Newmont Corp. (NYSE: NEM) (TSX: NGT). In addition, as noted by CBS News, “One of the most significant drivers of gold's price surge has been the aggressive purchasing by central banks worldwide. This trend shows no signs of slowing down, either, as many countries seek to diversify their reserves away from traditional currencies. The sustained demand from these institutional buyers provides a solid foundation for continued price appreciation and is likely to play a role in gold's price trajectory over the next month. As we move into September, the confluence of these factors — central bank buying, economic uncertainty, sustained investor demand, growing industrial uses and supply constraints — creates a compelling case for continued strength in gold prices.” Look at Calibre Mining Corp. (TSX: CXB) (OTCQX: CXBMF), For Example Calibre Mining Corp. announced additional, near surface, resource expansion drill results from its exploration programs at the Pan Heap Leach Gold Mine (“Pan”), located on the prolific Battle Mountain – Eureka gold trend in Nevada, USA. Results at Pan continue to reveal gold grades higher than the stated Mineral Resource grade of 0.4 g/t gold (see Calibre Delivers Fourth Consecutive Year of Mineral Reserve Growth news release here). Today’s drill results across the Pan mine property demonstrate the potential to increase resources, grade, mine life and confidence around the Pan mine. Highlights from the Nevada drill program include (Estimated True Width “ETW”):- 0.45 g/t Au over 117.4 metres ETW in hole PR24-113;- 0.56 g/t Au over 59.4 metres ETW including 1.31 g/t Au over 9.1 metres ETW in Hole PR24-111;- 0.46 g/t Au over 71.6 metres ETW in Hole PR23-208;- 0.66 g/t Au over 36.6 metres ETW in hole PR23-212;- 0.93 g/t Au over 24.4 metres ETW in Hole PR23-201;- 0.45 g/t Au over 10.7 metres ETW in hole PR24-066;- 0.58 g/t Au over 15.2 metres ETW in hole PR24-067;- 0.58 g/t Au over 13.7 metres ETW in hole PR24-076;- 0.42 g/t Au over 24.4 metres ETW in hole PR24-81;- 0.41 g/t Au over 29.0 metres ETW in hole PR24-126;- 1.38 g/t Au over 9.1 metres (“ETW”) in Hole PR23-181;- 1.08 g/t Au over 6.1 metres ETW in Hole PR24-024; and- 0.34 g/t Au over 32.0 metres ETW in hole PR24-131. Darren Hall, President and Chief Executive Officer of Calibre, stated: “Since acquiring Pan in early 2022, we have successfully increased Mineral Reserves by 50% net of two years of production depletion and with exploration success, we anticipate this trend could continue. The majority of today’s drill results contain grades that are higher than our stated Mineral Reserve grade and, in many cases, sit outside our Mineral Reserve pit shell. These results bode well for longevity to Pan’s future mine life. We remain focused on reinvesting in our future with a demonstrated track record of delivery and growing consolidated Mineral Reserves, after 825,000 ounces of production, over the last four years. We continue to drill Pan and Gold Rock in Nevada, the multi-million-ounce Valentine Gold Mine in Newfoundland and Labrador with an additional 100,000 metre drill program underway and a multi-rig discovery and resource expansion drill program in Nicaragua. Calibre Mining is proud to announce the release of our Valentine Gold Mine's 2023 Sustainability Brief, highlighting our unwavering commitment to a strong environmental, social, and governance performance across our operations. This report showcases our initiatives aimed at minimizing environmental impact, fostering community engagement, and ensuring the highest standards of responsible mining practices. By integrating robust sustainability performance at all phases of our mining cycle and transparent reporting, we continue to demonstrate Calibre's dedication to sustainable development, reinforcing our position as a leader in the mining industry and our commitment to creating long-term value for all stakeholders.” Link 1 – Drilling Tables Link 2 – Figures Other related developments from around the markets include: Barrick Gold announced the declaration of a dividend of $0.10 per share for the second quarter of 2024.
