Last trading at $1,931.55, gold prices are quickly nearing $2,000 again. All as investors anticipate slower rate hikes from the Federal Reserve. Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan, for example said she, “wants to slow the pace of rate hikes to make sure the Fed walks the tightrope of reining in inflation while not sinking the economy. Logan said she’s watching financial conditions and says if they loosen, the Fed could always raise rates further—even after pausing,” as noted by Yahoo Finance. That could be great news for Calibre Mining Corp. (TSX: CXB) (OTCQX: CXBMF), Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE: GOLD) (TSX: ABX), Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM) (TSX: NGT), Kinross Gold Corporation (NYSE: KGC) (TSX: K), and B2Gold (NYSE: BTG) (TSX: BTO).

Calibre Mining Corp. announced assay results from the first phase diamond drill program at its 100% owned Golden Eagle Project. Golden Eagle is located in the Republic/Eureka Mining District in Ferry County, Washington, USA approximately 4.8 km north-northwest of the town of Republic, Washington and approximately 16 km west of Kinross Gold’s Kettle River Mill. Golden Eagle hosts a pit constrained, Measured and Indicated resource of 2.02 million ounces at 1.4g/t gold with an Inferred resource of 155,000 ounces at 0.9g/t gold. This 2-million-ounce deposit located in the United States with favourable logistics will provide future value to Calibre shareholders through additional drilling and modern metallurgical testing.
Initial drill results from the Golden Eagle program include:
- 4.30 g/t Au over 92.42 metres including 7.80 g/t Au over 17.3 metres in Hole GEC22-001
- 2.90 g/t Au over 195.1 metres in Hole GEC22-003
- 2.38 g/t Au over 114.3 metres; 2.66 g/t Au over 19.8 metres and 2.65 g/t Au over 25.7 metres in Hole GEC22-006
Note: All holes were drilled at angles of -45 to -90 degrees at azimuths designed to intersect targeted structures as nearly as possible to perpendicular when possible. Some drill holes and intercepts reported here did not cross mineralization perpendicularly, and do not represent exact ‘true widths.
Darren Hall, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Calibre stated: “Today’s results from Golden Eagle reinforce the potential for this project to provide significant value to Calibre shareholders. The first phase of this drill program confirms a robust mineral system with consistent gold grades over broad widths. The Golden Eagle Project is a key asset within our United States operating platform which includes the Pan mine and the Gold Rock and Illipah projects in Nevada. I look forward to results from the second phase of drilling as well as the commencement of a comprehensive metallurgical program to fully assess this strategic assets’ potential. Golden Eagle is a meaningful contributor to the Company’s overall mineral resource estimate with 2.0 million ounces in Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource, adding positively to our organic growth strategy.”
About Golden Eagle
The Golden Eagle Mineral Resource estimate, based on a drill hole dataset of 202 holes totalling 38,208 metres at a base cutoff grade of 0.48 g/t gold and a gold price of US$1,500 supports a pit constrained Measured & Indicated Resource of 2.02 million ounces at 1.382 g/t and an Inferred Resource of 154,650 ounces at 0.896 g/t (see Fiore Gold’s MRE NI 32-101 Technical Report dated September 24, 2021). The Golden Eagle deposit is characterized as a low-sulphidation epithermal hot springs related deposit. A major part of the deposit is a large body of silicified hydrothermal breccia, but high-grade gold- and silver-rich quartz veins are present in and near the area of hydrothermal breccia. The deposit has as strike length of approximately 750 metres, variable width up to approximately 300 metres and depth of approximately 600 metres. Mineralization occurs at surface on the west and southwest areas of the deposit.
History of the Region
Golden Eagle is located in the northwestern portion of the very productive Republic/Eureka district and includes the former Mountain Lion Mine which was active from 1898 to 1947. The Republic/Eureka Mining District has produced nearly 4 million ounces of gold at an average grade of 19.89 g/t gold over the last 130 years, principally from high grade underground narrow vein deposits. The last operating gold mine in the district was Kinross’ Buckhorn/Kettle River operation which closed in 2017.
