🤔 Tariff Tension Boost

Gold prices climbed 0.6% to $3,325.20 an ounce today, buoyed by a weaker U.S. dollar and rising geopolitical tensions, particularly between India and Pakistan.

At the same time, markets await U.S.-China trade talks in Switzerland this weekend. With the dollar down 0.3%, gold became more attractive to non-dollar holders, contributing to a 2.5% weekly gain. Analysts noted a tug-of-war between economic uncertainty-driven buying and profit-taking at high prices.

Investors are also watching for comments from several Federal Reserve officials later today, which could shed light on the central bank’s rate outlook amid ongoing tariff concerns.

😎 Blackjack Drilling

Sitka Gold Corp. (TSXV: SIG; OTCQB: SITKF; FSE: 1RF) reports high-grade gold results from its RC Gold Project in Yukon, Canada.

Highlights:

• 25.0 metres of 5.04 g/t gold, including 1.8 metres of 54.70 g/t gold

• 86.4 metres of 1.65 g/t gold.

• 12.2 metres of 4.55 g/t gold within 94.0 metres of 1.15 g/t gold.

Sitka noted that recent assay results from its drilling program at the RC Gold Project in Yukon suggest the presence of potentially significant tonnage at greater depths than previously anticipated.

Drilling has resumed at Blackjack as part of a fully funded 30,000-metre program for 2025, focusing on depth extensions and targets across the Clear Creek Intrusive Complex.
