I would like to share with you today a few very important confirmations which we observed this week. Gold continues to act as The Ultimate Hedge during all market turmoils and is holding well above $1,922 with a weekly close at $1,935.
Gold is building a huge Cup and Handle formation above the previous all-time high reached at $1,922 in 2011. FED is pushing its inflation switch ON and help us God when they will succeed pushing us all from the cliff with inflation accelerating above the "average 2%".
Another important observation will be that even the best trees are not growing straight up into the sky. Tesla served shorts roasted and delivered quite a few moments of bliss to all engaged before its stock started pulling back this week.
Please do not miss a truly tectonic shift in the auto industry happening behind all this drama entertained by the bored with all-time highs Mr Market. Elon Musk's visit to Volkswagen and test driving of VW ID electric cars will signify this life after death experience for all legacy automakers.
The message from Tesla Gigafactory 4 in the very heart of the motherland for iconic legacy auto brands is loud and clear: change or die altogether in the fumes of your DIEselGate.
And the most important for us here is another confirmation from the great state of Alaska delivered by Alaska Public Media:
"In recent earnings calls, the two Canadian companies developing the Donlin mine, NovaGold and Barrick, are praising the results from Donlin Gold’s most ambitious drilling project to date. Melanie Hennessy, NovaGold’s vice president of corporate communications, said that it shows that both companies are serious about the mine’s potential.
“There is alignment between both companies on the direction and continuing focus on advancement of Donlin Gold,” said Hennessy.
In an earnings call back in March, Barrick Gold CEO Mark Bristow said that the Donlin Gold mine did not meet its criteria to build in its 10 year plan. In May, a short selling financial research firm cited Barrick’s hesitation in a report that shed doubt on the future of the mine.
Now, a few months later, Barrick and Novagold appear pleased with the results from the drilling program so far, according to a transcript from Barrick Gold’s latest earnings call.
Barrick Gold CEO Mark Bristow told investors, “It’s a key project for Barrick, and very valuable today.”
"But back to Barrick Gold and why "Investors are coming home", as Thomas Kaplan, Chairman of NovaGold put it? We have Peak Gold. Gold miners need new new “Elephant” projects to replenish the declining resource base. They need new giant projects just to keep Gold production at the same annual rate.
In his recent interview on CNBC, Mark Bristow has acknowledged that even if the Barrick Gold’s official Gold price is still $1,200 for all planning purposes, “they are using now $1,500 as the indication for a mid-term time horizon.” It will not escape your attention that nobody will be buying out Barrick Gold, probably, this year, but they will have to buy themselves something big and promising. Who will be talking the Gold price up going into the M&A market as the buyer? All recent developments around NovaGold, which we have discussed in great detail with you here, are pointing us to the brave scientific question for a pure curiosity pleasure at this stage. Who will buy NovaGold first in the fight for the solid lead as the number 1 Gold mining company in the world? Will it be Newmont Mining or will Mark Bristow conclude the “unfinished business” of the previous unsuccessful buy out attempt and will finally bring Donlin Gold “back home”? In the world moving super crazy fast into the $3,000 Gold as a new normal, for me, this is just a question of time now. Nor Barrick Gold neither Newmont Mining can afford to lose Donlin Gold to each other without a walk over effectively from the race for the crown of the world’s top Gold miner."

Kirill Klip continued, “We are building the green energy metals and gold company. Energy rEVolution requires secure supply lines of the critical strategic metals like copper and lithium. Our forward-thinking approach allows us to integrate our company into the international capital markets and mining industry in order to accelerate the development of Shotgun Gold Project and extend our royalty portfolio in Green Energy Metals, potentially adding to our core royalty holdings on the Los Azules Copper Project with McEwen Mining and the Mariana Lithium Project under the management of Ganfeng Lithium.”
