1. Gold has traded between $1,422 and $1,429 so far todayas of 7:00 am Pacific, bullion is up $1 an ounce at $1,427 as the Fed begins a 2-day policy meeting…SPDR Gold Trust, the world’s largest Gold-backed ETF, said its holdings rose 0.83% to 824.89 tonnes yesterday from 818.14 tonnes on Friday…Silver has added a penny to $16.44…Nickel and Copper are off slightly at $6.44 and $2.69, respectively, while Zinc is flat at $1.12…Crude Oil has climbed 22 cents a barrel to $57.09 while the U.S. Dollar Index is trading around strong resistance at 98.12…U.S. inflation remains muted, a major reason why the Fed will cut interest rates for the first time in more than a decade tomorrow…the Commerce Department reported this morning that its Core Personal Consumption Expenditures Index increased in June in line with expectations…annually, core inflation, which is the Fed’s preferred inflation measure, increased 1.6%, unchanged from May’s reading – the 3rd straight month inflation has held at this level…the Bank of Japan kept monetary policy steady today but said in its policy statement that it “will not hesitate to take additional easing measures” if the economy loses momentum toward achieving the target inflation rate of 2%…President Trump ratcheted up pressure on China to quickly reach a trade deal, warning that if he is re-elected, the terms of an agreement would be much tougher than what is currently being discussed…the President said in a series of tweets this morning that China might get a better deal – at the expense of the U.S. – if a Democrat like former Vice President Joe Biden wins the Presidency in 2020“Then they could make a GREAT deal, like in past 30 years, and continue to rip off the USA, even bigger and better than ever before”Goldman Sachs this morning has raised its 2019 year-end price target for the U.S. benchmark S&P 500 index by 3% to 3,100, but lowered its earnings estimates, citing weakness in economic activity and margin outlook…

2. Commerzbank on Gold:  “This is set to be an eventful week for Gold market participants, the highlight of which is likely to be the Fed’s decision on interest rates.  A rate cut of ‘only’ 25 basis points could prove disappointing given that the market has priced in more.  Much will also depend on what Fed Chair Powell says in the subsequent press conference.  If he makes no mention of a cycle of rate cuts, causing Gold to come under pressure, we would not see this as a trend reversal but as an attractive buying opportunity. After all, the monetary policy of many central banks is expansionary, and is currently becoming even more expansionary, which should benefit Gold as a store of value”

3. The Tahltan Nation has made one of the largest clean energy investments by a First Nation in Canadian history, in the heart of Northwest British Columbia’s prolific Eskay Camp…the Tahltan Nation, a major supporter and beneficiary of development in the area, has purchased 5% – from Axium and Manulife – of 3 hydroelectric power plants, the Forrest Kerr, McLymont Creek and Volcano Creek run-of-river projects…in partnering with Axium Infrastructure Canada, Manulife Financial (MFC, TSX) and AltaGas (ALA, TSX), the Tahltan Nation is now part owner of a clean energy asset that is valued well over $2.5 billion…Rick McLean, Chief of the Tahltan Band, stated in a news release, “This clean energy deal is a game-changer and will provide our Nation with an asset that will give back for over 100 years”…McLymont Creek and Forrest Kerr are situated along the southern edge of Crystal Lake Mining’s (CLM, TSX-V) Newmont Lake Project where drilling begins in the next 24-48 hours at the Burgundy Ridge Copper-Gold-Silver-Cobalt-Zinc discovery, while Volcano Creek is located along the Eskay mine road near Garibaldi Resources‘ (GGI, TSX-V) camp and the Eskay Creek mine where Skeena Resources (SKE, TSX-V) will be drilling this summer…

4. More action in the Eskay Camp:  Tudor Gold (TUD, TSX-V) has drilled 252 m grading 1.27 g/t Au (GS1942) in a 150-m step-out to the northeast of last year’s key hole that intersected 280.5 m @ 1.14 g/t in its upper mineralized horizon at the Treaty Creek Goldstorm zone next to Seabridge’s (SEA, TSX) KSM Project…a 2nd rig has arrived at the property in an effort to rapidly build out the system along strike to the northeast and toward the footwall contact zone to the southeast with more large step-outs…the system has strength to the northeast as the depth exceeds 700 m with an average of 0.68 g/t Au over 780 m of vertical intercept in GS1942…curiously, strong Silver-bearing base metal mineralization was seen for the first time at Goldstorm in this latest hole which included Eskay Creek-style grades over 1.5 m (209.5 m to 211 m) – 33.5 g/t Au, 1,154 g/t Ag, 2.9% Cu, 6% Pb and 1.9% Zn…TUD has climbed 3 cents to 63 cents through the first 30 minutes of trading…

  2. Jon, you said a Western Canadian Group may have big plans for CCW. In what form? Takeout?…..

    Comment by Dan1 — July 30, 2019 @ 8:11 am

  3. Looking very good, Jean!

    Comment by Jon - BMR — July 30, 2019 @ 8:16 am

  4. Better than a quick takeout, Dan1…so much potential with those assets – just the replacement value alone is massive…current team plus fresh faces and heavy lifting would create a very powerful force in the Northern Ontario Camp during a Silver bull market…

  5. Jon, when you say geos have a much better understanding of the structural geology of Nickel Mountain, do you think the current drilling will reflect that or more drilling needs to be done to truly “crack-the-code”?

    Comment by Weatheritout80 — July 30, 2019 @ 12:03 pm

  8. Thanks Jon, hopefully something happens soon with CCW. They have to take advantage of the silver momentum.

    Comment by Dan1 — July 30, 2019 @ 12:11 pm

  9. Just normal technical trading, weatheritout…broke out vigorously on great volume above 50 and 200-day, retraced to that level which is new support, RSI(2) conditions now very oversold, so ready for a moon shot…first hole will hit big…

    Comment by Jon - BMR — July 30, 2019 @ 3:14 pm

  10. Jon out of curiosity…do you expect a bigger hole than Tudor just announced?

    Comment by Weatheritout80 — July 30, 2019 @ 3:17 pm

  11. Different type of target, weatheritout80, with multiple metals, and the first-ever diamond drilling, so the opportunity for this to create a lot of discovery excitement and incredible trading volume is very real…

    Comment by Jon - BMR — July 30, 2019 @ 3:39 pm

  12. Jean, my answer to the first part of your question is YES…

    Comment by Jon - BMR — July 30, 2019 @ 3:40 pm

  13. Appreciate Jon… let’s hope the drill bit hits the rock tomorrow
