💪 Gold Holds Firm
Gold prices edged higher today, supported by a weaker US dollar and ongoing geopolitical tensions, including the European Union's latest sanctions on Russia.
Spot gold rose 0.4% to $3,350.87 per ounce, although strong US retail data and easing fears over the Federal Reserve’s independence limited further gains.
Meanwhile, investor focus appeared to shift from traditional safe-haven gold to industrial metals, with platinum reaching its highest level since 2014 at $1,461.77, palladium jumping 4% to $1,329.88, and silver gaining 0.5% to $38.31.
👏 Goodwin Survey
SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSXV: SXL) reported IP survey results at the Goodwin Project in Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick, Canada.
Highlights:
IP survey identifies deep conductive targets between Granges and Logan zones.
Follow-up grid survey and additional IP lines underway.
The company looks forward to advancing the drill program and are confident that the new CFO will strengthen their financial and strategic position.
