B2 Gold - CGA Gold Merger / New Gold Blackwater


New Gold announced a new PEA for 500k pa production at Blackwater in British Columbia, getting nicely positioned in the sweet spot of "growth mid tier/consolidator" heading to 1 million oz production.
$1.5 - $2bn capex is quite something to fund from cashflow.

A selection of Gold Juniors' Production volumes, Costs and Market Caps

An interesting chart of PEA/PFS/FS production volumes and cash costs for a range of gold development projects, from a Midas Gold presentation, and a table I have added of the companies owning the projects named.

Global Easing

The big print to global reflation continues......
As money is devalued and earns no "safe" return the opportunity cost of investment in gold and hard assets falls.
If inflation takes hold and interest rates start to climb the capital value of bonds falls precipitously ending the 30 year bond bull market. This would be Sinclair's final pillar for a gold bull market.
