From The Desk Of David Schectman
David’s Commentary
Under normal conditions, gold and silver pretty much march along to the same drummer. But I expect it will be different, as we move ahead into 2019.
The price of silver is no longer following the price of gold in a “normal” manner. The 86 to 1 silver to gold ratio is telling us that silver is too cheap. Theonly question I have is how low will the ratio go in 2019? Will the ratio fall into the 70s or 60s or even lower? It is not a matter of “if,” it’s a matter of “when.”
What will happen to the price of silver if Da Boyzare able to hold the price of gold down? I believe it won’t matter; silver will move up regardless as the stretched-out silver/gold ratio starts correcting and moving lower. Jim Sinclair refers to silver as “gold on steroids.” That is the case on the way lower and on the way higher.
In today’s daily I will present two events that should allow silver to break free of the blatant manipulation that has kept its price way too low for way too long. Once silver breaks free from JPMorgan’s shorting positions on the Comex, and is able to trade freely, there is no telling how high the price will go and how fast it will happen. Even if the price of gold is contained, which is not exactly a given, there are still two reasons to be optimistic about silver next year, which will allow it to significantly outperform gold.
The first is the DOJ is looking closely at JPMorgan’s manipulation of silver. I cannot over-estimate just how important this event is.
The second is simply a supply/demand condition for 2019. The mined silver will not be sufficient to meet the demand. That is a condition that usually leads to higher prices. Buyers who want or need silver will pay whatever it takes to obtain it and the way the market balances supply and demand is by raising and lowering the price to attain a balance.
Let’s start off with a very important and interesting article that should not be missed. I considered itmust reading for anyone who owns silver, or is curious why it has performed so poorly for the last few years. It looks to be a game-changer.
JPMorgan is being investigated for price fixing by the Department of Justice (DOJ). This is not the impotent CFTC; it’s the DOJ. They don’t simply levyfines and a slap on the wrist. They send people away. Is it any wonder that JPMorgan has now closed out it silver shorts on the Comex? Uppermanagement over at JPMorgan has to be sweating bullets. People will go to jail. The DOJ is looking “up the management ladder.” The only thing holding down the price of silver (reflected by its near 86 to 1 silver/gold ratio) is JPMorgan’s manipulation andthey have been put on notice by the DOJ. If they take their foot off the brake, silver is set to soar.
Will DOJ Finally Hold Bullion Banks Accountable for Market Rigging?
It is hard to cheer for the Department of Justice these days, but federal prosecutions have begun to offer hope for precious metals investors hurt by rigged markets and crooked traders.
The DOJ looks poised to do what regulators at the CFTC have not. They will use evidence of blatant cheating and fraud to hold a few bankersaccountable.
Last week, DOJ officials asked the judge in a civil suit against JPMorgan Chase to delay proceedings for 6 months to clear the patch for more prosecutions.
David’s Commentary:
Take a deep breath and let out a big “Hurrah”. JPMorgan is finally long gone from the silver market. They have covered their short position. The fact that JPMorgan is now back in a market neutral position is, as Ed Steer says,” wildly bullish”.
Ed Steer
Silver analyst Ted Butler had this to say about in gold in his commentary
late yesterday afternoon…”It’s not quite as clear in gold, but I’d venture that JPM bought back the entire 30,000 gold contracts it shorted in October, as well.”
A few follow up comments about the still rather remarkable announcement by the Department of Justice concerning the guilty plea by the former JPMorgan trader for spoofing in precious metals. Contained in the announcement was the statement that the guilty plea was accepted and sealed on Oct 9, nearly a month before it was unsealed on Nov 6. With a rather short sentencing date approaching onDecember 19, and the time it took to unseal the plea, it may be assumed that the trader has already fully cooperated in the hopes of reducing his jail time, said to approach 30 years with no cooperation.
David’s Commentary:
In addition to the DOJ investigation into the silver price suppression, here is the second reason that the price of silver should rise next year…
Kitco News
By Anna Golubova
Silver Surplus Won’t Last, Prices To Rally Next Year — Capital Economics
(Kitco News) – Next year will be a turnaround year for silver, with prices expected to rally to $17 per ounce by the end of 2019 on higher investor demand and an unexpected end to the U.S. monetary policy tightening, according to Capital Economics.
David’s Commentary:
In case you don’t recall, the silver to gold ratio in the 2000s was often in the 40 to 1 or 50 to 1 range. There is a pattern on the following chart that is easy to see. After every sustained “rise” in the ratio, it is always followed by a “steep decline.” It would not be a stretch to expect the ratio to plunge back down to the low 50s or even the 40s.
So what does that mean for the price of silver? Let’s say, for kicks, that gold moves up to $1,350. I think that’s very conservative, don’t you? At $1,350with the silver to gold ratio at 50 to 1 the price of silver would be $27 per ounce. That’s almost twice as high as it is today (near $14). And if we set the price of gold at it’s most recent high of $1,900 should we not expect silver to at least reach it’shigh at that time of $50? I think so, at a minimum. That would move the silver to gold ratio down to 38 to 1.
$50 silver is not, in my estimation, a top. It is just a momentary stop along the way toward much higher prices. It’s human nature to chase a top. Greed sets in. You are witnessing it right now in the stock market. The “Normalcy Bias” sets in and people get used to rising prices and they begin to believe that this new trend will continue in motion. And it will, until it doesn’t. That, dear readers, is when you will be put to the test. “Is now the time to sell?” “Should I hold on longer for an even higher price?” Ah, I long for the good old days, but they will be back, and if the DOJ has anything to say about it, it will be sooner rather than later. Yes, 2019 should be one Hell of a year for Gold’s little sister.

IG Copper Strategic Investment
EMX received its initial cash distribution of US $65.15 million from IG Copper LLC’s (“IGC”) sale of the Malmyzh project (“Malmyzh” or the “Project”) located in Far East Russia[1]. EMX’s strategic investment in IGC resulted from the Company’s recognition of Malmyzh in 2011 as an early-stage copper-gold porphyry opportunity with excellent discovery potential. EMX took a disciplined investment approach by backing IGC’s steady advancement of the Project over the years. This work included the early-stage exploration work that led to the discovery of the Malmyzh district, and the drill intensive programs that progressed the Project through resource definition and approvals in the Russian Federation. The execution of these programs, with strong financial and management backing from EMX, culminated in the sale of Malmyzh to Russian Copper Company for US $200 million, of which US $190 million has been released from escrow. The remaining US $10 million from the sale is being held in escrow, and subject to certain conditions, cash distributions of up to US $4 million will be made to EMX as funds are released over the next 12 months.
Royalty and Royalty Generation Properties
EMX’s royalty property interests include Leeville in Nevada, the Timok Project’s Cukaru Peki deposit in Serbia, and properties being advanced by operating companies in Turkey, the western U.S., and Scandinavia. EMX’s royalty generation programs are filling the mineral property pipeline with new acquisitions on open ground in geologically prospective regions.
North America. There are 38 properties in the portfolio, of which fifteen are royalties or optioned for an EMX royalty interest, as well as other consideration to the Company’s benefit. The Company advances the western U.S. royalty generation portfolio through its wholly-owned subsidiary Bronco Creek Exploration (“BCE”).

  • EMX’s Leeville 1% gross smelter return royalty covers portions of Newmont Mining Corporation’s (“Newmont”) Northern Carlin Trend underground mines, including the Leeville and Turf operations. Newmont produced ~358 royalty gold ounces from Leeville in Q3 providing production royalty revenue to EMX of ~US $435,500. Royalty production was sourced from Leeville (65%) and Turf (35%). Newmont is exploring a trend of gold mineralization that extends southeast from the Leeville mining complex, and is partially covered by EMX’s royalty position. As discussed by Newmont, this trend, which includes the Rita K and Full House projects, is an important contributor to its Northern Carlin Trend underground resource and reserve development strategy. In addition, Newmont has highlighted “strong results South and West of Four Corners” and the “NE upside potential subparallel to the West Bounding Fault”, both of which include areas covered by the Leeville royalty property[2].
  • EMX has a 2% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty covering the Hardshell Skarn claim block, which is part of South32 Limited’s (“South32”) Hermosa property in southern Arizona. The Hermosa property’s Taylor zinc-lead-silver carbonate replacement development project is directly north of EMX’s Hardshell Skarn royalty claim block. In Q3, the project’s previous owner, Arizona Mining Inc. (“AMI”), announced the completion of the plan of arrangement whereby South32 acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of AMI[3]. South32 expects to invest approximately US $100 million at the Taylor project in the 2019 fiscal year[4]. To date, two angle diamond drill holes have intersected high grade polymetallic zinc-lead-silver mineralization within EMX’s royalty claim block[5].
  • Anglo American concluded phase I reconnaissance drilling at the Copper Springs property in Arizona, which is under an option agreement with EMX. The program consisted of four holes totaling over 5,700 meters that tested concealed porphyry targets. The alteration and mineralization assemblages observed from bedrock intercepts are encouraging. Anglo American advises that it is planning a phase II follow-up program of additional geophysics and drilling. EMX optioned Copper Springs to Anglo American for cash payments and work commitments, and upon Anglo American’s earn-in for 100% interest in the project EMX will receive additional payments and retain a 2% NSR royalty interest[6].
  • EMX’s option agreement for the Greenwood Peak project in Arizona with a wholly owned subsidiary of Antofagasta plc (“Antofagasta”) was terminated in Q3. Earlier in 2018, Antofagasta concluded a three hole, 1,035 meter reconnaissance drill program to test a concealed porphyry target, and intersected weak alteration in bedrock. EMX has dropped the property due to a lack of encouraging results.
  • EMX’s generative work focused on new copper and gold targets in Arizona, the Great Basin, and Wyoming. The Company also completed property reviews with potential partners, and is in discussions with several groups for the available North American projects, as well as for regional generative alliances.

Turkey. EMX holds five royalty properties, including Akarca, Balya, and Sisorta, as well as two available royalty generation projects in Turkey’s Western Anatolia and Eastern Pontides mineral belts.

  • Çiftay İnşaat Taahhüt ve Ticaret A.Ş. (“Çiftay”), the owner of the Akarca gold project, made the fourth pre-production payment of ~US $610,000 to EMX (the cash equivalent of 500 troy ounces of gold) in Q3. Receipt of this payment leaves a pre-production total of 5,000 ounces of gold (or the cash equivalent) to be paid to EMX by Çiftay on a schedule of 500 ounces every six months. EMX retains a sliding scale royalty (subject to certain deductions) ranging from 1% to 3% for gold production from the property[7]. Çiftay advises that a scoping study is underway that includes diamond drill results announced earlier in 2018, such as 9.5 meters averaging 50.30 g/t gold and 29.2 g/t silver in the Arap Tepe “Zone C” area (true width ~85-95% of intercept length)[8]. Çiftay advises that its follow-up 2018 exploration programs are awaiting drill permits.
  • At the Balya lead-zinc-silver royalty property, Turkish owner Dedeman Madencilik San ve Tic. A.S. (“Dedeman”) advised that it is continuing with its ~25,000 meter step-out drill campaign to fill in a ~500 meter long corridor between mineralization at Hastanetepe, where underground development work has been concentrated, and the Southern Zone target area. Dedeman provided EMX with initial results from the program, which included 12.75 meters averaging 11.39% lead, 5.92% zinc and 225.18 g/t silver in hole DB108-B (true width ~95% of intercept length), as well as other intercepts in nearby holes at Hastanetepe[9]. EMX has an uncapped 4.0% NSR royalty interest covering Balya.
  • The Sisorta gold project’s Turkish owner, Bahar Madencilik Sinayi ve Ticaret Ltd Sti (“Bahar”), advised Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) work is ongoing under the mine permitting process in Turkey. Once complete, Bahar intends to continue applying for the permits necessary for project development. EMX has an uncapped 3.5% to 5.0% NSR royalty interest covering Sisorta.

Serbia. EMX has a 0.5% NSR royalty covering the Timok Project’s Cukaru Peki copper-gold deposit[10]. Nevsun Resources Ltd (“Nevsun”) controls the Timok Project’s high-grade Upper Zone (characterized by epithermal-style mineralization), and is in a joint venture with Freeport-McMoRan on the Project’s Lower Zone (characterized by porphyry-style mineralization). Nevsun announced a friendly, all cash agreement in Q3 to be acquired by Zijin Mining Group Co. Ltd. of China for US $1.41 billion[11].

Nevsun filed a technical report on the initial inferred resource for the Lower Zone porphyry project of 1.659 billion tonnes averaging 0.86% copper and 0.18 g/t at a “dollar equivalent” cut-off of US $25/tonne[12]. The Lower Zone porphyry “ranks high in grade, size and contained metal for porphyry copper deposits worldwide” according to Nevsun. Nevsun’s technical report also included the previously announced Upper Zone Pre-Feasibility Study that outlined a 10 year mine life yielding approximately 1.7 billion pounds of payable copper and 516 thousand ounces of payable gold[13]. Initial Upper Zone production is estimated by Nevsun to be in 2022. Nevsun has stated that “There are multiple high grade Upper Zone style exploration targets above the Lower Zone and our exploration licenses have the potential to host entirely new porphyry systems with associated high grade Upper Zone style mineralization.”
EMX’s royalty properties in the Timok Magmatic Complex add significant upside potential from one of the world’s top copper development projects.
Scandinavia. EMX’s portfolio in Scandinavia totals over 35 royalty and royalty generation properties in Sweden and Norway. The Company has converted multiple properties to royalty and equity interests, while adding value via early-stage exploration to royalty generation properties that are available for partnership.

  • EMX has eight royalty properties sold to, and operated by Boreal Metals Corp. (“Boreal”) and Boreal Energy Metals Corporation (“BEMC”), a subsidiary of Boreal. The sale of the properties included uncapped 3% NSR royalty interests, equity interests in Boreal and BEMC, annual advance royalty payments, and other consideration to EMX’s benefit. The properties consist of polymetallic, cobalt, nickel, and copper projects. In Q3, Boreal a) commenced exploration programs at the Tynset volcanic massive sulfide (“VMS”) project in Norway, b) identified prospective geophysical targets at the Gumsberg VMS project in Sweden, and c) commenced a 1,000 meter reconnaissance diamond drill program at the Burfjord copper-gold project in Norway[14]. EMX provided technical assistance for this work on a 100% reimbursed consulting basis.
  • At the Riddarhyttan iron oxide copper-gold (“IOCG”) and massive sulfide project in Sweden, which is optioned to South32, EMX conducted geologic mapping, geochemical sampling, and geophysical surveys during Q3 on a 100% reimbursed basis. The geophysical work included high resolution VTEMTM(airborne time-domain electromagnetic) and aeromagnetic surveys over the entire Riddarhyttan license area. These new data are being used to generate drill targets on the project. Riddarhyttan was optioned to South32 for cash payments and work commitments to earn a 100% interest in the project, and upon earn-in, EMX will receive annual advance royalty and milestone payments in addition to a 3% NSR royalty interest[15]. Riddarhyttan is the locality where the element cobalt was first discovered and recognized, and is also the type locality of certain rare earth elements and related minerals.
  • Geochemical sampling and geophysical surveying was conducted in Q3 at the Slättberg nickel-copper-cobalt project in Sweden, which is optioned to Sienna Resources Inc. (“Sienna”). This work followed-up on Sienna’s earlier drill program that returned intercepts including 2.8 meters averaging 1.05% nickel, 1125 ppm cobalt and 0.79% copper in hole SIE-18-3 (true width 60-70% of reported interval length)[16]. Slättberg was optioned to Sienna for share equity in Sienna, and upon Sienna’s earn-in through work commitments for 100% interest in the project, additional share equity will be due and EMX will retain a 3% NSR royalty on the project[17].
  • Geochemical sampling and geophysical surveys were completed over a number of EMX’s “Gold Line” licenses in the Skellefteå area in central Sweden. Multiple geochemical sampling techniques were tested in orientation surveys across several areas with historic, drill-defined zones of gold mineralization. Results are pending, but this work is intended to identify methods appropriate for recognizing additional zones of gold mineralization hidden beneath shallow glacial till cover. Ground based magnetic surveys and extensive stream sediment sampling surveys were also conducted across the project areas. Preliminary stream sediment data have highlighted drainages with newly recognized anomalous gold signatures. Follow-up work, including additional geophysical surveys and surface sampling and mapping, will take place in the winter months and into the spring and summer of 2019.

Other Assets. EMX’s portfolio in Australia and New Zealand consists of orogenic gold, epithermal gold-silver, sediment hosted stratabound copper, and copper-zinc skarn royalty and royalty generation projects. EMX’s organically generated 0.5% NSR royalty portfolio in Haiti covers gold and copper exploration properties held by Newmont Ventures Limited, as well as the Grand Bois project which is controlled by a privately held Nevada corporation.
Other Company News. EMX is pleased to announce the appointment of Lori Pavle as Corporate Secretary, taking on the position previously held by Marien Segovia. EMX thanks Ms. Segovia for her service to the Company, and extends best wishes for her future endeavors. Ms. Pavle has over 20 years of experience in the administration of natural resource companies listed on the TSX and TSX Venture exchanges, with appointments that included Corporate Secretary, Corporate Administrator, and Legal Assistant. The Company welcomes Lori to the EMX team. Pursuant to the Company’s Stock Option Plan, an aggregate of 60,000 incentive stock options, exercisable at a price of CDN $1.57 per share for a period of five years, has been granted to Ms. Pavle along with a signing bonus, through the issuance of an aggregate of 21,000 common shares, subject to any applicable stock exchange approvals and vesting requirements.
The Company also announces that upon successful completion of the sale of the Company’s interest in the Malmyzh Project in Russia, a discretionary cash bonus has been allocated in an aggregate amount of US$3.8 Million to executive directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company.
About EMX. EMX leverages asset ownership and exploration insight into partnerships that advance our mineral properties, with EMX receiving pre-production payments and retaining royalty interests. EMX complements its royalty generation initiatives with royalty acquisitions and strategic investments.
The recent advancements of the Company’s asset portfolio underscore EMX’s focus on steadily increasing global revenue streams from strategic investments, royalties, and other payments. The Company’s goal is to substantially grow our cash flowing royalty portfolio while providing multiple opportunities for exploration and production success.

JUNIOR MINING | NxGold Provides Exploration Update on the Mt. Roe Project

  • Follow-up stream sediment sampling completed highlighting key prospects
  • Soil grids completed over Swan, Eagle and Hawk target areas
  • Larger target area developing through systematic exploration

VANCOUVER , Nov. 26, 2018 /CNW/ – NxGold Ltd. (“NxGold” or the “Company“), (TSXV: NXN) is pleased to provide an update on its exploration program at the Mt. Roe Project located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia .  The Company has recently completed a follow-up phase to the initial anomalous stream sediment samples continuing its systematic approach to target area identification and drill target refinement at the Mt Roe Project.  This follow-up work included additional stream samples, gridded soil samples and rock (grab) samples.

Figure 1: Stream sediment sample results compiled with Gridded Soil Sample locations from the Mt. Roe Project (CNW Group/NxGold Ltd.)

A total of 47 stream silt samples (see Figure 1 and Table 1) were collected following up on the initial encouraging results which identified numerous target areas including an approximately 1.2 km long section of the Sholl ridge, host to the Eagle, Kangaroo and Bulldog target areas and coincident with a large magnetic high feature identified from the detailed UAV-magnetics survey (details of which are described in the News Release dated 15 October 2018 ).  As a result of this recent sampling, the target areas have been further refined to approximately a 500m , 350m and 250m section of the Eagle, Bulldog and Kangaroo target areas, respectively.  Assay results from gridded soil samples from the Eagle area are pending.  The Eagle area is expected to be a primary focus for drill targeting given the presence of the magnetic high anomaly, coincident stream anomalies and high-grade rock (grab) samples.

The Hawk , Swan and Sun target areas were expanded by the additional stream samples.  Results from the gridded soil samples are pending from the Hawk and Swan areas.  Additional work is required to better understand controls of the anomalous stream sample distribution.

The areas chosen for grid-based soil sampling utilised an 80 m line spacing and 40 m sample spacing with lines oriented to the north-west with a total of 139 soil samples being collected (Figure 1).  The target areas of initial interest include the Hawk area (26 samples) located near the known “80oz” prospector’s patch, the Eagle area (86 samples) where earlier trenching programs exposed a gold bearing structure, and the Swan area (27 samples), which hosts numerous gold nugget patches and structures exposed in trenching that returned anomalous gold and copper values (see the News Release dated September 10, 2018 ).  Assay results from this work program are pending.

Christopher McFadden , Chief Executive Officer commented, “In a relatively short period of time since acquiring the property this year, our team has evaluated the property for different mineralisation styles and advanced to the drill target delineation stage through the systematic exploration of the Mt Roe tenements.  This approach will also be used to evaluate the Prinsep tenements and the pending tenements on Mt. Roe which are expected to be granted shortly.  The identification of vein structures in the Eagle, Hawk and Swan areas among others, supports the existence of primary gold mineralisation on the property. “

UAV Orthophotography and Magnetics Survey
Images from this survey are available on the Company’s website (www.nxgold.ca).

Initial program on Prinsep tenements

A total of 7 stream sediment samples were collected and a soil grid with 80 m line spacing and 80 m sample spacing was sampled for 60 samples collected.  This was an initial work program focused on historical areas worked by prospectors using metal detectors.  Results from this program remain pending.

Next Steps
Upon compilation of all the work completed this year-to-date, NxGold believes it will be in a position to complete a target prioritisation review to prepare for scout-drilling that will test the continuity of known conglomerate and prospective gold target areas.

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulations Services Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

About NxGold

NxGold is a Vancouver-based exploration company.  The Company owns 80% of the Mt. Roe gold project located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.  The Company has also entered into an earn-in agreement with Meliadine Gold Ltd. to earn up to a 70% interest in the Kuulu Project (formerly known as the Peter Lake Gold Project) in Nunavut .

Technical Disclosure

The on-going sampling programs of stream sediments, soils, rocks and chip samples involve a quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program that includes the collection of field duplicates and insertion of certified reference materials at frequency of roughly one in ten samples. Rock samples, stream samples and some chip samples are selective in nature and are not representative of mineralisation on the property. All samples have been sent to Intertek Genalysis in Perth , WA for preparation and analysis. Rock and chip samples were analysed using a 50g fire assay for gold and a 10g aqua regia, 32-element inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (‘ICP-OES’). Samples with visible gold or returning >10 g/t gold by fire assay are subject to a screen fire assay analysis. Stream sediment samples were analysed using 1000g bulk leach extractable gold analysis with Leachwell accelerant followed by ICP-MS with a 10g sample split for aqua regia 32 element ICP-OES analyses.

Stream samples were field screened fine fraction (minus 80 mesh) with a collected mass of 10-12kgs. Soil samples were field screened to minus 4mm with a collected mass of approximately 4kg. All samples were split by a two-tier riffle splitter in a secure storage facility into a laboratory sample and a retained reference sample.

NxGold advises that the Mt Roe Gold project is an early stage exploration project utilising an evolving gold deposit model for a paleo-placer style of mineralisation. Abundant exploration work is required to understand the previously unrecognised sedimentary geology and confirm if the source(s) of the coarse gold is located within NxGold Ltd.’s tenements. There is no certainty of the discovery nor definition of a mineral resource.

The scientific and technical information in this news release has been prepared or approved by Darren Lindsay , P.Geo., Vice President Exploration and Development, of the Company, a “qualified person” within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

KEVIN DOUGAN | Knock, Knock, Knocking on Heaven’s Door

Knocking on Heavens Gate

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCKING ON HEAVEN’S DOOR
 
We as humans, I am sure want to believe this is not all there is to life. Many assume that when the body dies the spirit goes somewhere. The general belief is you are going up or down. To paradise or a place that would be eternal torture… kind of like having to hang out with the Kardashian family for eternity. Where will this discussion lead ??? …  climb aboard and see where this takes us but first we are going to a place I named … Heaven’s Gate.
I am a shareholder and big fan of Newrange Gold. I have toured the Pamlico Property twice and most importantly have spent quality time with the crew and have grown to admire and most importantly trust them implicitly with my investment dollars. I have gotten to know the key members of the crew while in the field and primarily at the BBQ pit. My goal is to share my valid opinion and beliefs and share that with my readers and give you a feel for the crew of NRG and why I believe this company has so much upside potential.
 
I met Nate Tewalt, the GEO of the property at the entrance of the Pamlico property by a gated fence. I jokingly called it “Heaven’s Gate”… as that is what all investors hope they are entering, when they put their hard-earned dollars into this casino… known as Jr. Miners. Nate laughed when I called it Heavens’ Gateand he said it jarred a fond long tucked away memory from his youth.
Nate Tewalt, was living near the town of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho in 1980, he was a fun-loving typical teen enjoying the summer break. Out of the blue he was approached by a casting crew to appear as an extra in a local movie. He was assigned the part of an elegant gentleman. His role consisted of dancing and romancing young starlets as an extra. Little did he know at the time but he was part of the biggest box-office bomb ever, the infamous film called Heaven’s Gate.
The Oscar winning director, Michael Cimino was fresh off his blockbuster Academy Award winning film, The Deer Hunter. He was deemed a genius and was given carte blanche to create another cinematic wonder. To say he dropped the ball is a colossal understatement. This waste of precious film and acting talent, has been dubbed the worst movie ever made. Cost overruns were astronomic and thousands of reshoots were all for naught. The film cost over $40 million and took in a paltry $3.5. This debacle caused the collapse of United Artist Studio and destroyed many a thespians dream.
 
Nate Tewalt’s best acting was mostly left on the cutting room floor. (Third from the right on the roller skates ?)
 
 
While it was a fun summer fling, Nate realized he was going to say goodbye to fleeting Hollywood dreams and proceed with his true passion … a career in geology and mining in which he would thrive. Tinseltown’s loss was Newrange Gold’s gain.
Graduating from Colorado State with a degree in Geology, Nate has gone on to prosper and be a founder or consultant of no less than 10 successful projects and mining companies in his 30 plus year career. Meridian Gold, Great Basin Gold and Standard Uranium among them. He has been a part of discovering three working mines. That my friend is a sure sign of his success so far.  He is applying those skill sets to the Pamlico project outside Hawthorne, Nevada. Nate considers this his most challenging and possibly biggest discovery yet.
Nate is an old school geologist, hands on, boots on the ground… grime and sweat the norm of each day. He is not one to stay in an air-conditioned cushy office and peruse drawings and maps. He is out getting sunburned, wind-whipped and hammered by the Nevada heat and he would have it no other way. He insists on doing his own mapping and charting as he says he is way too picky and a stickler for accuracy and consistency in his analysis. He said many a project fails from sloppy record keeping and misinterpretation of the data. Nature puts the Gold where it is, the geologist must solve the puzzle as to where it is hidden. He feels data must be consistent and standardized to be of any use. There is no one better to do it than someone he trusts …yup one Nate Tewalt.
Along his career path Nate was fortunate to befriend a like-minded, kindred soul, Tom Chadwick who is considered to be the one of the best mappers in the country. The quality of his work is impeccable. Tom has visited and charted almost every major discovery in the West and he is especially familiar with the Nevada region. He along with Nate believes that Pamlico is very special and could be an absolute beast when it is all said and done. The problem (which is a good problem to have) is the land package is so massive it is hard to get one’s hands around it. It must be systematically and methodically interpreted before it is understood.
The great news it is in the capable hands, a stickler for perfection and details … none other than the Elegant Gentleman full of dirt and grime … Mr. Nate Tewalt.
 
 
 
In previous articles I have covered the attributes and experience of the CEO of Newrange, Bob Carrington. I have gone underground with him and witnessed his dogged determination and passion for trying to turn Pamlico into a mine. I could only wish I could somehow bottle this and allow shareholders to see how much blood, sweat & tears go into his pursuit for the Mother Lode. Bob and crew work grueling untold hours pursuing their dreams in sweltering heat and sometimes bitter cold. Most shareholders have no clue how dedicated this team is.
 
Another famous twist on Heaven’s Gate is none other than another all-time debacle and absolute tragedy. This would be none other than the warped vision of an absolute madman … Marshall Applewhite. This kook convinced 38 poor souls that if they followed him, he could take them to paradise by catching a ride on Haley’s Comet. While I won’t go into gory detail, the reason why it is so entrenched in my mind is that it occurred less than 10 miles from my home. These poor souls had their last meal at our favorite pancake house. Needless to say, that put the kibosh on that family dining treat My kids were horrified of the place never to be enjoyed again. Sad how one mans horrific actions can affect so many.
 
How does that relate to Newrange ???  Let me try to explain. As I stated earlier investing in Junior miners is in a way like going to a casino. There are many charlatans, carpet baggers and scoundrels that run these companies. There are many con artists trying to separate you from your money. Fortunately, the business is such is there are also some absolute solid well-run companies that work hard for their shareholders. Newrange Gold in my opinion is one of these diamonds in the rough. They have a potentially awesome property with highly skilled
 
leadership. These are honorable, hard-working men that are passionate to make a world class discovery. It does take time and much blood, sweat and tears along with fantastic mapping and clear interpretation of the data. Having three of the best in the business, Bob, Nate & Tom working one project is a rarity but a sure blessing for NRG shareholders. Patience is paramount and the only way to make money. Buy Right & Sit Tight !!!
The price recently took a big hit when drill results weren’t eye popping, which the market anticipated from the previous stellar drill results. They were also released during an absolutely dismal time for the price of Gold. Nate explained to me when we were at Pamlico, the drill results they were more focused to strategically understand the mineralization rather than try to improve existing grades. This is a marathon play not a sprint !!!  Any weakness in share price should be viewed as a gift. It’s not when you buy that matters but when you sell. Investing in Juniors is a crap shoot but the risk/reward ratio can be stunning when entering by way of the Right Gate !!! … the Pamlico Gate just outside Hawthorne, Neveda.

PRECIOUS METALS | As Stock Markets Crash The Case For Gold and Silver Grows Stronger

The Miles Franklin Newsletter

Chris Marcus-Contributing Writer For Miles Franklin
As Stock Markets Crash The Case For Gold and Silver Grows Stronger
Written by Chris Marcus of Miles Franklin
With the stock market selling off again on Monday, the Dow Jones, S&P, and NASDAQ have all declined to near the levels they started the year at.
Which to those who have been following the precious metals markets comes as little surprise. In fact to most who have been following the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve over the past decade, in some ways it’s shocking that it’s taken this long.
Just as the Austrian Economic theory clearly states, while easy cheap money is flowing, the financial asset markets get propped up as the money looks for a home. Yet as the theory also states, when the easy money is removed, the malinvestment and misallocation of capital is exposed.
So now as interest rates have risen, the stock markets are declining. While signs of slowdown in the real estate market are there for anyone who does a simple Google search. Let alone does further research or takes note of the stories that continue to emerge evidencing the stress in the market.
And if Donald Trump thinks the Fed is being too aggressive in raising interest rates up to 2.25% after a decade of near 0% rates and unprecedented quantitative easing, how is he going to feel if the Fed even approaches any sort of normal interest rate?
Which God could only imagine what that would be. Although keep in mind that back in 1980 Paul Volcker raised the Fed’s short-term rate to 20%. And following one year of 1% interest rates, Alan Greenspan raised rates as high as 5.25% before reversing course when the mortgage bubble started to pop. And now both the government debt load and central bank money supply are both substantially larger.
Meanwhile, the banking sector, which owns many of the mortgage and government bonds that are all set to devalue as interest rates continue to rise looks shakier than ever. With the latest news being that Deutsche Bank, which has been rumored to be a trade or to away from real liquidity issues for years is now being implicated in a $150 billion dollar money laundering scheme.
All of which is adding to an already shaky financial infrastructure. That foreign trading partners are increasingly walking away from. And while many see what’s happening, yet are frustrated by stagnant gold and silver prices, these events are also occurring at the same time that an ex-J.P. Morgan Trader plead guilty to manipulating the gold and silver markets. While also stating that it was done with the knowledge of his supervisors, andwas widespread practice within the bank.
Which means that for those who invested in precious metals and have had their faith shaken, every single reason you initially invested is not only still intact. But also playing out at this moment exactly as expected.
The markets did get inflated with all of the printed money. And now as that money is being taken away (albeit at an incredibly slow and minuscule pace), the exact problems that the Austrian Economists forecast are manifesting as expected.
And while many have grown tired of hearing about the manipulation and wondering if it was just conspiracy theory, now that has been confirmed as well. So despite that the break-point has not yet occurred, the exact reasons why you invested in gold and silver are now demonstrating their influence on the markets.
I watched The Big Short again this past weekend. Perhaps because during the times when I wonder if there’s something I may have missed, the movie helps remind me about how when markets get out of line, sometimes it just requires time before nature, supply, and demand re-exert their influence.
Could gold and silver trade lower from here? It’s only appropriate for me as an analyst and trader to factor in that anything is possible. And in an environment where investors are panicking and selling, it’s a good idea to expect that any sort of chaotic outcomes can happen.
Yet given how Deutsche Bank, UBS, HSBC, the Bank of Nova Scotia, and J.P. Morgan have now all been caught manipulating gold and silver, verifying that those who have asserted that the prices are being distorted by illegal behavior were indeed correct, it makes a lot more sense to own precious metals that are at their lows instead of stocks that are in a bubble that’s collapsing. And which current conditions indicate have every reason to continue declining further.
Perhaps what The Big Short also points out is that making large gains in chaotic situations requires understanding what’s happening. And also then having the fortitude to stay with your trade. Which is exactly how I see the current market for gold and silver.
I certainly understand this is a challenging time for investors. Which is why if you have any questions about the contents of this article, or buying or selling gold or silver, as always you’re welcome to email me at cmarcus@milesfranklin.com.
The last note I’ll mention is that when I was recently at the Silver and Gold Summit, as well as the New Orleans Investment Conference, all of the folks I spoke with like Rick Rule, Doug Casey, and Peter Schiff mentioned how their most successful trades have been by buying assets that are cheap and out of favor. And then having the courage of their convictions to be patient until the inevitable plays out.
That certainly describes the current environment. And if you want to take the advice of the folks who saw the subprime bubble in advance, rather than the banks and Wall Street who completely missed it, just know that they all continue to advocate owning physical gold and silver.
