Gold Prices Are Now Trading Well Above The Industry All-In Cost Average

Palm Beach, FL – June 14, 2022 – FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary – Experts expect to see more consolidation among mid-tier gold companies this year, as well as geographic and commodity diversification. Investingnews.com said that the gold sector saw an impressive US$21.3 billion spent on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in 2021, a sharp uptick from 2020’s total, which was heavily impacted by COVID-19 restrictions. The year of multibillion-dollar deals was the second highest level on record and highest in the last decade, with roughly 44 separate deals made, accounting for 38 million ounces. Another article from IntelligentHQ added that: “The gold mining industry is gearing up for a busy year in 2022. Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity is expected to increase as miners seek to replenish depleted reserves while also maintaining production levels. With sustained gold prices, senior gold miners now have some of the lowest debt levels in years while gold development assets are currently valued as amongst the cheapest, they have been in some time. All of this points to a busy year ahead for M&A activity in the mining industry. Rising investment levels across the industry are set to benefit the junior mining space as investor inflows should boost stock prices for the industry.  Gold prices were relatively stable throughout 2021, as the global economy recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic while interest rates remained low. As a result of this, mining companies have been able to invest in exploration and development but with limited success at the drill bit. While mining M&A activity was robust in 2021, 2022 is set for a further uptick in deal making.  Gold prices are now trading well above the industry all-in cost average of $1,100/oz., and 2021 already began the recovery in M&A activity, with some $30 billion in deals.”   Active companies in the markets this week include NevGold Corp. (OTCQX:NAUFF) (TSXV:NAU), Gold Fields Limited (NYSE: GFI), Yamana Gold Inc. (NYSE: AUY) (TSX: YRI), Dakota Gold Corp. (NYSE American: DC), Gold Standard Ventures Corp. (NYSE AMERICAN: GSV) (TSX: GSV).

 

IntelligentHQ continued: “Notwithstanding, mining companies are now cash-heavy due to a lower deal count over the past two years in general, and gold development assets may be found to be even cheaper than we’ve seen in some time. Mining M&A is expected to continue to rise in 2022 on the back of 2021’s recovery as miners seek to cash in on this favorable market environment while meeting investor demand for growing resource levels.”

NevGold CEO, Brandon Bonifacio, comments: “NevGold is extremely pleased to enter the option agreement to acquire Nutmeg Mountain. The asset has attractive scale with a historical resource completed in 2020 of 910,000 Indicated ounces of gold, and 160,000 Inferred ounces of gold starting at surface, and significant exploration upside, while also being located in a premier jurisdiction with excellent infrastructure near site. We see many opportunities to extract value at Nutmeg Mountain like we have at Limousine Butte over the past 12 months, and we see the value extraction roadmap as being very similar. This transaction also adds the benefits of a new strategic partner and investor, especially with a long-term growth focused, well-established team like GoldMining. We look forward to the next chapter of NevGold with GoldMining as a large shareholder as we continue to build one of the marquee gold resource and exploration platforms in the Western USA.”

 

GoldMining CEO, Alastair Still, comments: “We are excited to have formed a partnership with NevGold to share in the potential benefits as they conduct work to grow and develop the Nutmeg Mountain Project. GoldMining is also encouraged by the continued exploration success at Limousine Butte in Nevada, and the upside potential of the other assets within the NevGold portfolio.”

 

Closing of the grant of the Option is expected to be in June-2022, subject to customary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities issued in connection with the Option and the Investment will be subject to a hold period ending four months and one day after issuance.

Dakota Gold Corp. (NYSE American: DC) recently announced the results of its first drill hole, MA22C-001, at the Maitland Gold Project located approximately three miles north and contiguous with the Homestake Mine. In addition Dakota Gold is mobilizing its third drill rig to test for gold mineralization on the eastern side of the Maitland corridor. To date, the Company has targeted nine holes at Maitland. MA22C-001 is the first hole drilled in the project area since 1994 when Homestake Mining Company ceased its exploration program outside of the Homestake Mine.

 

James M. Berry, Vice President of Exploration of Dakota Gold said, “We are excited to receive the assay results from our first drill hole at Maitland. The primary objective of this hole was to look for Homestake Formation host rock. We were very pleased to locate both Homestake-style gold mineralization and Tertiary-aged gold mineralization where we had targeted these initial holes of the campaign. This is a great start to our exploration program at Maitland. With the three drill rigs testing our Homestake District targets, we anticipate a continual flow of results throughout the rest of this year and are excited at the potential to advance the project areas towards a development path.”

 

Gold Standard Ventures Corp. (NYSE AMERICAN: GSV) (TSX: GSV) recently announced plans for its 2022 first stage exploration program on its +21,000 hectare land package in Nevada’s Carlin Trend. The first stage program includes approximately 5,700 meters of reverse-circulation (“RC”) and core drilling over 20 holes. Drilling is scheduled to start in May 2022. Based on the results of the first stage exploration program, the Company intends to develop a second stage exploration program to be completed in the Fall and Winter of 2022.  https://goldstandardv.com/site/assets/files/6188/2022_exploration_program_graphics.pdf  

 

Jason Attew, President and CEO, commented, “We are excited to initiate our 2022 drilling program. The focus of this year’s program is to test for oxide mineralization extensions at Pinion with the goal of enhancing the size of the Pinion pit and further extending the project life. We will also test the highly prospective LT target which is near Pinion and has the potential to develop into a satellite pit to the South Railroad Project in the future. Finally, after our new geological team spent the past year analyzing the historical drill database across our property package, we are excited to begin drilling for sulphide gold mineralization again. The Ranch prospect shows promise as a potential high-grade target north of the Dark Star oxide deposits. We will also revisit the North Bullion deposit in the north of our property package. North Bullion was the focus of exploration for the Company up until 2016 when the focus switched to drilling oxide mineralization at Dark Star and Pinion. Our team believes Carlin-type sulphide mineralization remains open to the northwest at North Bullion and we will test the area in the first half of our exploration season.”
