0842 ET - Natural gas prices drop 2% to $2.350/mmBtu, putting them on course for a fourth day of declines over the past five sessions. "This market still appears to be accepting daily price guidance from swings in the oil complex," says Ritterbusch & Associates in a note, adding that the front-month June contract that goes off the board tomorrow afternoon is also a factor. The market now awaits a weekly EIA storage report due at 10:30am ET. The normal injection for this time of year is 96 billion cubic feet, but analysts and traders surveyed by WSJ are forecasting a larger, 101-bcf increase amid strong production rates and mild weather that weakened demand.

has drifted downward for the better part of May, but if gold's recent level is any indication, the token should be trading higher, J.P. Morgan strategists said in a note on Wednesday. Some investors view Bitcoin and gold as interchangeable. Both supposedly act as stores of value and inflation hedges -- though the token's actual performance on those fronts has been wanting. Lately, while some retail investors have bought up the cryptocurrency, institutional investors for the most part have stuck with the metal.
Even taking that preference into account, gold's current price, at just under $2,000 an ounce, implies a price for Bitcoin of $45,000, significantly higher than its current level of about $26,200, assuming investors see them as interchangeable. Of course, Bitcoin has only been used as a store of value for 14 years, while gold has been used for thousands, making that premise a bit precarious.
Another potential support to Bitcoin's price could come from the so-called halving event that the token is likely to undergo next April or May. Bitcoin "miners" earn tokens for processing transactions and securing the Bitcoin network, but the amount of crypto they earn falls by half roughly every four years. All else being equal, the halving would double the cost of mining one Bitcoin to about $40,000. In the past, the production cost has acted as a lower bound for token prices, the analysts wrote. None of this means the bank's strategists are high on digital assets. In the short term, Bitcoin and other tokens are facing serious regulatory backlash that's making it more difficult for institutions to hold the tokens and for the crypto industry to grow. The failure of crypto trading platform FTX put an exclamation point on a 12-month period in which Bitcoin prices fell by more than half, and most investors that dabbled in tokens in the past couple of years are sitting on losses. "The headwinds from the U.S. regulatory crackdown, the unsettling of banking networks for the crypto ecosystem and the reverberations from last year's FTX collapse are likely to constrain any potential upside," the analysts wrote.

0937 ET - Natural gas prices head for another daily decline, on path to record a losing week after last week's 14% increase. Forecasts of mild weather compound with high storage concerns to weaken prices. "An active pattern continues as weather systems track across the US with showers, thunderstorms, and comfortable highs of 60s to 80s for light national demand," NatGasWeather.com says in a report. The contract for July delivery slides nearly 3% to $2.404/mmBtu.

1244 ET - Wheat in Russia is accumulating, says Andrey Sizov of SovEcon in a note. The firm says that as of May 1, on-farm wheat stocks totaled 12M metric tons, according to government data. That's twice as high than the five-year average, SovEcon says. "The key factor contributing to the accumulation of stocks was the record-high crop of 2022," says the firm. "Rosstat estimates the Russian wheat crop at 104.2 million tons, which is 32% higher than the five-year average," says SovEcon. CBOT wheat futures are leading grains lower today, with the most-active contract down 3.7%.

Die aktuelle Ressource für das eine Projekt:

The current Mineral Resource for the Caballo Blanco district is limited to the La Paila project, which is exposed at surface and where the majority of the previous work was completed. The resource is tabulated below at a range of gold cut-offs constrained within a conceptual open pit using metal prices of $1150 US / oz Au and $21 US / oz Ag. A cut-off of 0.11 g/t gold has been highlighted as a possible open pit cut-off in the following Tables. A total of 200 drill holes were available for analysis with 1,193 downhole surveys and 18,504 assays for gold and silver.

Indicated – 31,220,000 tonnes, 0.52 g/t gold, 2.16 g/t silver or 521,000 ounces gold and 2,170,000 ounces silver within conceptual pit 36.
Inferred – 8,630,000 tonnes, 0.34 g/t gold, 2.14 g/t silver or 95,000 ounces gold and 590,000 ounces silver within conceptual pit 36.


The existing La Paila Mineral Resource is summarised in the tables below. One of the aims of the forthcoming exploration program is to test for extensions to these resources, given the mineralisation is open in three directions.

http://www.candelariamining.com/news/candelaria-announces-drill-permit-and-provides-corporate-update

Waren die Ergebnisse so schlecht, das nichts gemeldet wird? Mit Agnico als strategischer Partner, kann ich mir nicht vorstellen, dass solche Ergebnisse einfach wegfallen und nicht veröffentlich werden.


Nach dem der Kurs auf 0,08 CAN$ gefallen ist, ist die aktuelle Marketcap bei ca. 11 Mio. CAN$. Aufgrund der bisherigen Ressource, mit strategischem Partner Agnico und evtl. ausstehenden Bohrergebnisse neige ich bei GAP-Schliessung 0,06 CAN$ eine erste Position zu kaufen.

Wie gesagt, aktuell nur watchlist.

2023-05-30 12:45 ET - News Release



Ms. Cathy Zhai reports

MONUMENT HEADS TOWARD COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION AT SELINSING GOLD MINE


Monument Mining Ltd. has provided an update on the progress at the Selinsing sulphide project. The ramp up of the flotation plant has made great headway, with the mill feed rate of 113 dry tonnes per hour achieved, being 95 per cent of the design capacity of 119 dry tonnes per hour. The plant construction and mine development consumed a total of $18-million, in line with the budget.

Cathy Zhai, president and chief executive officer, commented: "We are very pleased with the flotation plant ramp up progress as we head towards full commercial production. We have commenced sulphide production in January, 2023, and continue testing and adjusting to improve plant performance through the action plan. Despite several incidental plant shutdowns during March to May, the plant is expected to reach its near or full production level by June, 2023, within the planned ramp up period of three to six months. To date, the flotation plant has produced approximately 3,450 dry metric tonnes (DMT) of concentrate with an average gold grade of 36.2 g/t [grams per tonne], containing 4,015 troy ounces of gold. Several export permits have been recently granted by the relevant authority and concentrate shipments are currently in progress."

Oil Prices Stay Higher After US Jobs Report -- Market Talk

2 June 2023, 16:14

0913 ET - US crude futures are holding onto earlier gains, up 2.1% at $71.58 a barrel after a monthly US jobs report that showed a larger increase in jobs than economists expected, and a slightly higher unemployment rate than was expected. The oil market's attention still seems to be squarely focused on an OPEC-plus meeting that starts this weekend, with investors on the fence regarding whether the group will cut production again or leave them steady for now. But oil's price rally over the past two days suggests the market's leaning toward expectations of some type of small cut, or perhaps a re-commitment to fully implement the cuts announced in April. Brent rises 2.1% to $75.81.

By Paulo Trevisani Weekly export sales of U.S. grains reported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture mostly fell within trader expectations. For the week ended May 25, sales of corn totaled 499,300 metric tons, soybean sales totaled 424,400 tons, and wheat sales were 256,000 tons. For corn, this week's sales came in on the high end of projections of grain traders surveyed by The Wall Street Journal. Grain futures are mostly lower in premarket trading on the CBOT Friday, following a rise Thursday due to forecasts of dry weather. Most-active corn futures are down 1.3%, soybeans are steady, and wheat is down 0.1%. To see related data, search "U.S. Export Sales: Weekly Shipment Totals" in Dow Jones NewsPlus.

Arizona Sonoran recovers up to 82% sulphides in phase 1

2023-06-05 09:45 ET - News Release



Mr. George Ogilvie reports

ARIZONA SONORAN REPORTS POSITIVE NUTONTM TECHNOLOGIES EXTRACTION RATES ON CACTUS PRIMARY SULPHIDES


Arizona Sonoran Copper Company Inc. has released positive preliminary column leach metallurgical extraction rates using the Nuton technologies as part of the phase 1 testing program with Nuton LLC, a Rio Tinto venture. Primary sulphide extraction ranges from 61 per cent to 82 per cent based on five columns, including two early cycle columns returning 83 per cent and 61 per cent, two mid-cycle columns above 70 per cent, and one with lower extraction based on biotite content. Nuton is currently reassessing the additives for this low extraction column to address future biotite exposure, which accounts for approximately 1 per cent to 2 per cent of the Cactus West deposit in the primary zone. A total of 13 continuing columns are approximately 75 days to 150 days through their 300-day leach cycle, and include samples from the sulphide, both primary and enriched (secondary sulphide) zones from both Cactus and Parks/Salyer deposits, as well as from the tailing facility, all of which are situated on wholly owned private land in Pinal county, Arizona.

Nuton offers a portfolio of proprietary copper leach related technologies and capabilities, developed by Rio Tinto to deliver increased copper recovery and leading environmental performance. In December, samples were sent to the Nuton testing lab to begin column leach testing, following initial mineralogical analysis and associated performance modelling of ASCU material. The columns are leaching under a range of conditions and additive combinations with a view towards identifying the ideal Nuton offering for further test work and commercial deployment. With ASCU input, the metallurgical programs are overseen by the Nuton technical team and have been provided Qualified Person confirmation by Samuel Engineering.

George Ogilvie, Arizona Sonoran Copper Company President and CEO commented, "We are extremely encouraged that the initial column testing is consistent with the initial modelling presented by the Nuton team. While our onsite teams remain focused on delivering a robust PFS based on our oxides and enriched material, Rio Tinto's NutonTM technologies present ASCU with future optionality for continued scaling of our assets from our currently excluded primary resource. We look forward to continuing to explore the leaching opportunity with Nuton, which would utilize a traditional SX/EW plant for the primary sulfides, and has a cleaner footprint than a concentrator, lower GHG emissions and reduced water consumption requirements."

Adam Burley, CEO of Nuton LLC commented, "Nuton has a wide range of potential use cases. At Cactus and Parks/Salyer we are encouraged by the potential of Nuton to unlock copper resources, currently not in the Company's mine plan. This would increase resource utilization and enable a larger, more economically and environmentally efficient operation."

Arizona Sonoran appoints Loyer as SVP, projects

2023-06-07 07:45 ET - News Release



Mr. George Ogilvie reports

ARIZONA SONORAN APPOINTS BERNIE LOYER AS SENIOR VP, PROJECTS AND CHRISTOPHER WHITE AS CHIEF GEOLOGIST


Arizona Sonoran Copper Company Inc. continues to build the development and production team on site at the Cactus mine project. The company has appointed Harold (Bernie) Loyer as senior vice-president of projects, replacing Ian McMullan as chief operating officer and Christopher White as chief geologist to support Doug Bowden, VP exploration. Mr. McMullan will be staying with the company for up to six weeks to assist with the transition of his duties.

George Ogilvie, Arizona Sonoran president and chief executive officer, commented: "As the development of Parks/Salyer and the Cactus mine project progress towards PFS in Q1 2024, we have been focused on building a locally based technical operations and development team, with the appointments of Victor Moraila (chief mine engineer), Graeme Hendricks (senior mine engineer), Dan Johnson (projects director), Greg Phillips (project superintendent), John Peterson (senior environmental professional) and now Bernie and Christopher. With the substantial growth to the size and scale of our Cactus mine project, the building blocks are in place to deliver a clear and streamlined path to construction and development, pending decision postfeasibility study in late 2024. Bernie's experiences building complex mining projects, including BHP's Escondida and Torex Gold's, Morelos and Media Luna, will fare well with our two proposed underground projects and one open-pit project at Cactus and Parks/Salyer, while Christopher's mine geology experience with major mining projects will complement our current management team."

Mr. Ogilvie continued: "I would like to thank Ian for his invaluable contribution over the last several years, placing the company on a solid foundation and primed for future successes. The board, ASCU team and I wish Ian well with his future endeavours and appreciate him working with the new incumbent Bernie through a transitionary period."

Mr. Loyer is a project mining executive with over 35 years of international mining experience including over 20 years in Latin America, having worked in Peru, Mexico, Chile, Argentina and Ecuador. As senior VP projects, he will lead the engineering, procurement and management resources in the development and execution of Arizona Sonoran's project portfolio. Arizonan Mr. Loyer joins ASCU from SolGold where he held the position of VP projects leading the development of the Porvenir and Cascabel projects in Ecuador. A mechanical engineer, fluent in English and Spanish, Mr. Loyer holds multiple patents for the design of process and material handling equipment. Mr. Loyer has a proven record delivering large-scale mining projects including Goldcorp's Penasquito project in Zacatecas, Mexico, Goldcorp's Cerro Negro project in Santa Cruz, Argentina, and Torex Gold's Morelos project in Guerrero, Mexico. Mr. Loyer spent five years at FLSmidth Minerals based in Copenhagen serving as vice-president, minerals technology and chief product officer where he was responsible for all global process technology, manufacturing and material handling. Prior to that he served 15 years with BHP Billiton, spending the last 10 years in Peru and Chile where he held operational, maintenance and project leadership positions. Mr. Loyer will be based at the company's project site and its Tempe, Ariz., office.

Mr. White brings 15 years of progressive experience leading mine geology programs, including ore assurance and technical manager roles within technical studies. He joins from the Moss mine in Arizona (open pit) as chief geologist where he was responsible for mine geology, ore control, drilling programs, including near mine exploration and infill drilling, greenfield exploration, planning, analysis and modelling. Prior to that, he held progressively senior roles as senior mine geologist at Goldstrike, Nevada Gold Mines, focused on open-pit geology and mapping, geology manager at Albemarle Corp.'s Kings Mountain and senior geologist/acting chief geologist at Freeport McMoRan's Bagdad mine.

Mr. White earned his BSc geology from the University of Wisconsin, and MSc, geology, from the University of Minnesota.

0746 GMT - Oil prices edge lower and are on course for a weekly loss as reports of progress in talks between Iran and the U.S. add the possibility of fresh supplies to the market. Oil slumped Thursday after reports that Iran and the U.S. had reached a temporary deal on Tehran's nuclear program and increasing its oil exports but prices pared losses slightly after U.S. officials refuted the reports. Still, Brent crude oil is down 0.5% at $75.59 a barrel and on course for a 0.7% weekly drop as concerns about global demand have overpowered a Saudi plan to slash oil output, following an OPEC+ meeting. "The fall in oil prices since the OPEC+ meeting likely reflects global growth fears and oil demand concerns," Commonwealth Bank Australia says in a note.

1542 GMT - Copper prices inch higher, reaching a one-month high, as a recent price slump encourages demand. Three-month copper prices on the LME are up 0.2% at $8,388 a metric ton and on course for a weekly gain of 1.6%. Following a sharp run-up in the spring, LME inventories have begun falling, hinting at demand for the metal. A recent price slump that took the red metal down to its lowest level since November has also encouraged buying, TD Securities says in a note. "Copper prices continue to gain as drawing exchange inventories point to demand for physical metal as buyers emerge following the recent price slump," the Canadian bank says.
