Peru is a Powerhouse for Silver

Majors like Newmont, Anglo Gold, and Bear Creek originally took their shot at the company’s silver-gold project Niñobamba in Peru. With significant amounts of mineralization found during historic drilling, Magma believes the project will produce.

The initiative encompasses an 8-kilometer stretch of mineralized terrain within a highly productive geological region of the prolific South American country. Earlier owners have spent as much as CA$14.5 million in the project to date.

Peru is the third-largest silver producer in the world, according to GlobalData and the company’s investor presentation. Almost 15% of Peru’s GDP comes from the mining industry. The country has three of Latin America’s largest high-sulfidation gold-silver districts, including Yanacocha.

“In internal reports and conceptual plans prepared by predecessors, there is the potential for a significant amount of gold and silver and lots of blue sky on a new gold discovery,” Barley said. ” We know where the historical potential is, and it is much simpler to find something when you already know it’s location.”

The country expects mining investment to increase there to US$4.8 billion this year, Peru’s Energy and Mines Minister Jorge Montero said, according to a report by Reuters published on Mining.com June 3.

Past drilling operations and recent findings at Niñobamba validate substantial silver and gold mineralization throughout the property, the company said. Notable results include 72.3 meters of 1.19 grams per tonne (g/t) Au, incorporating 24.6 meters of 1.07 g/t Au; featuring an 8-kilometer corridor displaying robust gold-silver mineralization evidenced by intercepts of 56 meters of 1.03 g/t Au and 98.9 g/t Ag, plus 21 meters of 1.32 g/t Au and 102 g/t Ag.

Magma reported that community engagement and environmental assessments are finished for drilling activities in its Jorimina area during Q3, where it intends to re-examine Newmont’s 2012 mineral inventory and execute infill drilling operations with the objective of developing a NI 43-101-compliant resource.

The firm also mentioned that authorization processes for the Niñobamba North and South areas are underway, with drilling licenses anticipated later this year. Exploration activities will begin with fieldwork before advancing to drilling operations by year-end.

The Catalyst: Silver, Gold Mixed Monday

The silver marketplace was stabilizing throughout Monday’s session as traders attempted to digest much of the excessive enthusiasm from the prior upward movement, Christopher Lewis wrote for FX Empire. Silver continues to exhibit volatility, so ensure you exercise caution with your position allocation in this marketplace.

The marketplace’s oscillation makes reasonable sense since it surged dramatically upward to reach this point. Therefore, investors must ultimately decide whether sufficient justification exists to maintain upward momentum, he said. The US$37 threshold above represents meaningful resistance. If it breaches above that point, Lewis said he believes it opens a pathway toward US$40, which he said is his expectation.

If it declines beneath the US$35.48 threshold, it might drop toward the US$34 level, perhaps $34.65, but regardless, Lewis said there will be purchasers sooner rather than later at reduced levels, considering how optimistic the marketplace had been previously. Over the extended timeframe, he anticipated it would surpass US$37 and target the US$40 level, potentially higher.

However, silver functions not only as a precious metal, but as an industrial commodity as well, Lewis pointed out. It appears that global markets demonstrate somewhat positive risk sentiment despite ongoing Middle Eastern developments. Therefore, it makes reasonable sense that silver participates in this trend.

According to Ashitha Shivaprasad and Anushree Ashish Mukherjee writing for Reuters on Monday, gold declined more than 1% as investors secured gains following prices reaching an eight-week peak, while the marketplace concentrated on Israel-Iran hostilities and the Federal Reserve’s policy gathering this week.

Spot gold fell 1.1% to US$3,396.09 per ounce by 10:10 a.m. EDT following its achievement of the highest point since April 22 earlier during the session. Prices advanced more than 1% on Friday.

“Keep in mind that gold has moved higher over the past several sessions, largely in response to the conflict between Israel and Iran. Today, we’re seeing more of a pullback, likely due to profit-taking after that higher move,” said David Meger, director of metals trading at High Ridge Futures.

Iran has been actively communicating that it desires an end to hostilities and resumption of talks over its nuclear programs, sending messages to Israel and the United States via Arab intermediaries, the Wall Street Journal reported according to the Reuters article. Reuters could not immediately confirm the report. [OWNERSHIP_CHART-11287]

DoubleLine Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Gundlach said, “I think gold will make it to US$4,000. I’m not sure that’ll happen this year, but I feel like that’s the measured move anticipated by the long consolidation at around US$1,800 on gold.”

And according to an April 10 post on Goldfix, Goldman Sachs has revised raised the upper boundary of its forecast range for the end of the year to US$3,520 an ounce and even introduced a “tall-risk scenario” as high as US$4,500 an ounce.
