FinancialBuzz.com: Looming Gold Market Rebound in the Near Future
NEW YORK, December 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
http://www.Financialbuzz.com - The first half of 2016 saw the gold market rebound from uncertainties in the economy. Since then, the market conditions have changed, and gold prices started to slide. The U.S economy is doing well, stock indexes rallying to new all-time highs, thus reducing demand for the 'safe heaven' metal. Yet, new rules for gold investing were established last week, and they have the ability to open the market to several Muslim countries. The Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) and the World Gold Council have announced the new initiative, which is called the Shariah Standard on Gold, and is designed to significantly soften rules and regulations for citizens of Muslim countries to invest in gold. Golden Dawn Minerals Inc. (TSX-V: GOM) (OTC: GDMRF), Kinross Gold Corp. (NYSE: KGC), Newmont Mining Corp. (NYSE: NEM), IAMGold Corp. (NYSE: IAG), Barrick Gold Corp. (NYSE: ABX
According to GoldCore's research executive Jan Skoyles and Editor Mark O'Byrne, the new gold investment rules are expected to change the game for 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, or 25% of the population, as they will now them to have a "far greater access to the gold market than they had since the birth of modern finance, which has been primarily structured towards Western ideals." Analysts like Chintan Karnani from Insignia Consultants are expecting the rules to start make effect on the gold market, specifically on short-term and medium-term gold prices, within six months.
Golden Dawn Minerals Inc. (TSX-V: GOM) (OTC: GDMRF) is a Canadian based resource exploration company, which focuses on acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. Golden Dawn holds interests in resource properties in British Columbia.
Golden Dawn Minerals Inc. reported, "the first round of analytical results from the Amigo, Glory Hole, May Mac and Sylvester K mines, part of the Greenwood Precious Metal Project, comprising a mostly contiguous land package of 16,000 ha., near the City of Greenwood in the historic Greenwood Mining District, of South-Central B.C., 500 km east of Vancouver on BC Hwy. #3.
May Mac Mine - Surface Drilling
The surface diamond drilling on the May-Mac Skomac vein system commenced in late November after drilling finished on the Amigo and Glory Hole mines, which lie 1000 meters south of the May Mac mine. Three drill holes (550 metres) were completed northeast of the historic mine workings on the Skomac vein system. These holes were drilled at different angles from the same collar location to test the upper Skomac vein. Hole BF16-26 intersected a quartz vein containing a well mineralized section of coarse-grained massive sulphides including pyrite, galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite. The vein was intersected between 177.47 and 183.54 metres (6.07 metres core length). This intercept is located 13 metres below the elevation of the # 7 adit, and 100 meters northeast of the end of that level. The significance of this is (A) the mineralization that was historically mined from levels 4, 5 and 6 continues vertically down another 75 meters to below the elevation of the #7 adit, and is open to depth (hole BF15-06 also encountered mineralization at depth 118 meters below # 7 Level on a new zone, now named "Rose Vein", see news release dated Dec. 16, 2015. (B) the mineralization continues along strike to the northeast of the historic mine and is open in that direction. The intercept in Hole 26 provides a target for extending 7 level 100 meters northeast. Further surface drill testing will continue to determine the extent of the north-easterly trend of the Skomac Vein system in early 2017.
IN SUMMARY:
In late Oct. 2016, the company executed a letter of intent to Purchase the 14,000 ha substantial land package from Kettle River Resources, a subsidiary of New Nadina (see N.R. of Oct. 31, 2016). This contiguous land package hosts 30 historic mines and significant showings, including the famous Phoenix mine, ranging from 2-20 km from the Company's 100 % owned 200-400 t/d processing facility. This suite of properties was consolidated in the early 1980's by Kettle River Resources from numerous Crown Grants and mineral titles held by many individuals since the pioneering days of the Greenwood Mining District. The combination of acquiring the KRR assets, the Greenwood Mill, the Lexington and Golden Crown mines, and the Company's May -Mac mine, present the company with a rare opportunity to revive the historic Greenwood Mining District.
As part of the due diligence on the KRR land package, 7 channel samples were taken from the Sylvester "K" mine, located 3 km north of the company's 200-400 t/d processing facility. Of these, the latter 6 samples were collected in a continuous line across the width of the massive sulphide zone and footwall quartz-pyrite veinlet stockwork (network). The average grade of this line of samples is 9.92 g/t gold over a true width of 15.2 metres
Technical disclosure in this news release has been approved by Dr. Mathew Ball, P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, and Chief Operating Officer of the Company."
