1. Gold has traded between $1,320 and $1,330 so far today…as of 7:00 am Pacific, bullion is down $5 an ounce to $1,320…Silver is off slightly at $16.42Copper and Nickel are both under pressure, down 6 cents and 18 cents, respectively, at $3.08 and $5.95…Zinc has slipped 2 pennies to $1.46…Cobalt, meanwhile, has surged more than $1 a pound to a new decade high of $37.76…Crude Oil is 31 cents lower at $60.84 while the U.S. Dollar Index has added one-tenth of a point to 89.93…the ECB left interest rates unchanged this morning and said it was continuing its asset-purchase program.  “The Governing Council expects the key ECB interest rates to remain at their present levels for an extended period of time, and well past the horizon of the net asset purchases.”

2. Attendance at the PDAC 2018 Convention totaled 25,606, a 5% increase over last year and another sign that the mineral exploration and mining industry has started to regain its swagger (some taxi cab drivers, a useful measurement of activity, told BMR their tips – especially from Americans – were the best in quite a few years)…the world’s premier mineral exploration and mining convention attracted investors, analysts, mining executives, prospectors, geologists, government officials and students from over 125 countries.  “This year’s convention was full of energy and excitement for the year ahead,” stated PDAC President Glenn Mullan, referring to sold out exhibitor space, panel discussions, courses, workshops, and networking events such as the prestigious Awards Gala. “After experiencing several years of economic challenges, today the mineral exploration and mining industry is experiencing a renaissance and renewed sense of confidence.”

3. Cenovus Energy (CVE, TSX) President and CEO Alex Pourbaix said during a panel discussion at Houston’s CERA Week energy conference that the daily cost of the currently large discounts for Western Canada Select to his company is $4 million…still, Pourbaix told attendees the Canadian energy sector was a stable place to do business relative to other heavy Oil-producing regions because “the only issue that needs to get addressed is getting pipelines built.” No, Mr. Pourbaix – that isn’t the only problem that needs to be addressed…a plethora of taxation and regulatory hurdles are a growing threat to the Oil and gas sector in Canada and solid evidence of that is seen in the current investment outflows…meanwhile, anti-Oil sentiment is being driven in this country by climate change extremists, many of whom hold political office at provincial and federal levels, while U.S.-backed activist groups like 350.org will continue to ramp up their opposition to Canadian projects such as the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion…

4.  LNG – that’s another huge missed opportunity for Canada…a cold winter in China could be signaling a hotter market for a new wave of U.S. natural gas exports sooner than expected…Cheniere Energy (CGH, NYSE)
CEO Jack Fusco said Chinese demand for liquefied natural gas was up 40% year-over-year and should continue to be strong…he said the growth in demand is about the size of Cheniere.  “As we saw this winter, demand in Asia and China kind of surprised the market. What we saw was supposed to be a market that might not be hitting supply-demand balance until the mid-2020’s,” said Kevin Brown, research analyst at Tortoise Capital Advisors.  It’s at a place now where we see the balance coming maybe earlier, in the 2020’s, pushing people to have to make that second wave of LNG investment.”

5. The Dow is up 83 points through the first 30 minutes of trading…in Toronto, the TSX is 59 points higher…the CDN dollar is steady at 77.37 cents…one of the most prominent currency market gurus says the Canadian dollar will plunge to levels not seen in more than 15 years by the end of 2019…John R. Taylor, retired founder of what was once the largest currency hedge fund on the planet, says his analysis of statistical patterns projects the loonie to fall a further 20% by the end of next year…it hasn’t been that weak since August 2002…the Venture is up 2 points at 834…accumulation continues in Pascal Biosciences (PAS, TSX-V) which has traded 25 million shares this week including 11.6 million yesterday when it jumped 8.5 cents to 55 cents…

6. Phivida Holdings (VIDA, CSE) and WeedMD (WMD, TSX-V) have signed an LOI to form a joint venture focused on cannabis-infused beverages…the new JV company, Cannabis Beverages, plans to develop a production facility at WeedMD’s state-of-the-art greenhouse in Strathroy, Ontario…CanBev will operate one of the first cannabis-infused beverage production facilities in Canada with the JV partnership focusing on manufacturing, marketing and distribution of cannabinoid-infused beverages for the medical and future adult-use cannabis markets…WeedMD will be the exclusive cannabis supplier and distributor for CanBev cannabis-infused beverages and will designate production space at its 610,000 sq. ft. facility in Strathroy for CanBev’s operation…

7. Kopin Corp. (KOPN, NASDAQ), a leading developer of innovative wearable computing technologies and solutions, reported encouraging financials for Q4 this morning including revenue growth that exceeded expectations at 79%.  “We are very pleased with such a strong finish to the year, with 79% revenue growth in the fourth quarter as compared to the fourth quarter of 2016 allowing us to achieve our stated goal of second half revenues increasing 70% over the first half of the year,” said Dr. John C.C. Fan, CEO of Kopin.  “Our military revenue primarily drove our results, with increasing demand for our displays from a number of new programs. We begin 2018 with both the F-35 and FWS-I programs tracking to plan, along with a new display development program for armored vehicles. We expect these programs to ramp over the coming years as they enter full production.  We are also starting 2018 with very strong demand from enterprise augmented reality (AR) customers for our displays and optics. At an event we hosted at CES 2018 our key customers forecasted a significant increase in volume this year, with some pointing to 2018 as the ‘tipping point’ for enterprise adoption of AR.”  Kopin expects to increase revenues by approximately another 50% this year to $35 to $40 million, and break even on profitability by the end of 2019

1. Gold has traded between $1,320 and $1,333 so far today…as of 7:00 am Pacific, bullion is up $12 an ounce to $1,332…Silver has jumped 28 cents to $16.69Copper is up 5 cents to $3.17…Nickel has climbed 9 cents to $6.16 while Zinc is a penny higher at $3.51…Cobalt has slipped to $36.06…Crude Oil has added 9 cents to $62.66…the IEA says global Oil demand is expected to grow significantly during the next 5 years while output from OPEC producers would rise at a much slower pace…makes one wonder why there has been no sense of urgency in Canada among our current political leaders to increase pipeline capacity, the lack of which has plunged Western Canadian Select prices vs. WTI at a staggering cost to the Canadian economy…heads need to roll…the U.S. Dollar Index continues to struggle with resistance around 90…it’s off nearly half a point to 89.59…President Trump’s hardline approach with “Rocket Man” could be paying off…the Wall Street Journal reported this morning that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un told a visiting South Korean delegation that he’s willing to hold talks with the U.S about giving up nuclear weapons and normalizing relations with Washington, and would halt weapons tests during any negotiations…

2. According to a report from S&P Global Market Intelligence during PDAC, global spending on exploration for nonferrous metals rose to an estimated $8.4 billion (U.S.) last year, up more than 15% compared with $7.3 billion (U.S.) in 2016.  “Improved equity market support for explorers allowed many companies to launch or resume drill programs on their most promising projects,” said Mark Ferguson, associate research director at S&P Global Market Intelligence in a news release…the research firm noted that Gold exploration led the way with the sector spending more than $4 billion last year, up 22% compared to 2016…at the same time, the analysts noted that base metals related to the battery sector saw a significant increase in exploration capital…larger producers were more conservative in their exploration budgets as most of the spending came from junior and intermediate companies…

3. The Canadian dollar fell to its lowest level in 8 months yesterday in a downtrend that shows no signs of letting up, given the latest federal budget and how the feds with help from certain provinces are suffocating this country’s Oil and gas sector as part of a radical “climate change” globalist (not Canada First) agenda…meanwhile, as the International Agency Administration reported yesterday, the United States is set to dramatically ramp up its Oil exports with massive investment taking place in Texas in particular…if Canada doesn’t wish to get its resources to market, other countries will gladly fill the gap – that’s what happening, that’s how international markets work…it’s also a likely contributing factor in President Trump suddenly deciding to play hardball on trade with Canada…the billionaire businessman correctly senses weakness among this country’s politicians when it comes to effective economic leadership, and he’ll smartly exploit that…meanwhile, things are sliding so badly in Canada (Scotiabank says lack of pipeline capacity will cost the economy $16 billion this year) that the world’s biggest money manager – Black Rock – is saying the Bank of Canada will increase interest rates only once more in 2018, if that, due to concerns over everything from investment activity to business formation to trade and household debt…the recent federal budget was more of a social policy manifesto than a blueprint for economic success…combined with provincial policies across key parts of the country, Canada’s competitiveness vs. the United States is eroding each and every day…Canadians of all political stripes should be deeply concerned about that…

4. Jason Kenney, Alberta’s Opposition leader and candidate for Premier, says his government would ensure “serious consequences” for British Columbia if it blocks Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion…Kenney said yesterday he would be prepared to stop permits for the shipment of Alberta Oil to B.C. through the existing Trans Mountain line, which pumps 300,000 barrels a day of Oil, gasoline and other petroleum products to Metro Vancouver.  “If British Columbia is unwilling to help us export Canadian energy, then I would ask: Why should the NDP government benefit from shipments from Alberta?  Thousands of British Columbia drivers are going down to Bellingham and Washington state to fill up their gas tanks. That situation, unfortunately, would get a whole lot worse without Alberta Oil.”

5. The Dow is up 48 points through the first 30 minutes of trading after yesterday’s big turnaround…in Toronto, the TSX is 24 points higher while the Venture is gaining momentum with a 10-point gain to 849…it appears the Index today will confirm an important breakout above resistance in the low 830’s and a downtrend line that goes back to mid-January…the Venture’s performance during PDAC this year is opposite to what it was in 2017 when the Index slumped more than 3%…marijuana stocks are strong with Cronos Group (CRON, TSX-V) up another 52 cents on the Venture at $13.15…keep an eye on Pascal Biosciences (PAS, TSX-V) which continues to trade heavily…the focus at PDAC is more on growing momentum in base metals as well as Cobalt with much less interest in Gold and Silver, though that’s likely a sign that now is one of the best times for patient investors not looking for instant gratification to be building positions in the precious metal space…MGX Minerals (XMG, CSE) has released a Preliminary Economic Assessment for its Driftwood Creek Magnesium Project…highlights include a pre-tax NPV @ 5% of $529.8 million (CDN) and an IRR of 24.5% with a 3.5-year payback…initial capital costs would be $235.9 millionthe PEA presumes a conventional quarry pit operation with a process plant and a furnace/kiln combination to produce a saleable Dead burn magnesium oxide (DBM) product…the plant would also have the ability to produce Caustic-calcined magnesium oxide (CCM) as a separate salable product…

6. Marathon Gold (MOZ, TSX) has drilled 20 m grading 3.16 g/t Au in step-out drilling at its Marathon deposit situated in the company’s 100%-owned Valentine Lake Gold Camp in Newfoundland…step-out drill holes along the northeast end of the deposit have intersected an abundance of en-echlon stacked QTP-Au veining, thereby pushing the extents of the main mineralized corridor further along strike to the northeast and also further expanding the resource within the boundary of the open-pit…meanwhile, drill holes in the south-central portion of the mineralized corridor have penetrated along the outer edges of the corridor; succeeding in discovering significant new QTP-Au veining.  “The Marathon deposit keeps growing in size as continued drilling intersects QTP veining and high-grade Gold along strike to the northeast as well as along the outer margins of the mineralized corridor,” stated Phillip Walford, President and CEO.  “We are excited by the continued success of our exploration drilling as we also progress with our PEA which will be released in Q2 2018.”

7. Sean Roosen, CEO of Osisko Gold Royalties (OR, TSX), bemoaned the lack of investor interest in mining, the dearth of investment over the past few years in exploration projects, skyrocketing capital costs and, in particular, the rapid-fire rise of alternative sectors such as Bitcoin and marijuana, which have captured investors’ attention, in an unscripted and candid keynote speech at PDAC.  “People used to invest in prospectors and exploration because they wanted to take risks and they wanted to have fun,” Roosen said. “That money has now moved over to cryptocurrency and weed stocks.”  He also noted that pot companies have gobbled up much of the speculative equity capital that has been raised in Canada over the past few years.  “Weed stocks kind of ate our lunch,” Roosen said…he predicts the future of the industry will see companies increasingly teaming up to share the risk…

BMR Evening Alert From PDAC!

11:00 pm EST (from Toronto)

(Exclusive to BMR Subscribers – Not for Distribution or Posting on any Board!)

Greetings again from Toronto where it was a busy Day 2 at PDAC.

Interesting action on the Venture today as the Index led the broader markets higher from the opening bell and finished up 13 points at 839.  We’ll therefore be watching closely tomorrow for confirmation of a breakout above key resistance at 833.

If you recall, PDAC wasn’t nice to the Venture last year as the Index tumbled 26 points or 3.2%, from 818 to 792.  Looks like it could avoid the infamous “PDAC Curse” this time around.

Investors are proving to be a lot smarter than many of the clowns in the mainstream media who late last week were essentially calling for Market Armageddon as Donald Trump, the businessman President who understands the “Art of the Deal”, was playing hardball trade negotiator.

The Dow rocketed 337 points higher today.

Why Are These People Smiling – Their Stock Has Tanked 80%! 

Below is a picture of the GT Gold (GTT, TSX-V) crew at the PDAC “Core Shack” this afternoon.

Charlie Greig, one of our favorite geologists, is the second from the right in this picture, holding some highly mineralized drill core in each hand from the company’s Tatogga Property (Saddle South Discovery) in northwest B.C. near Iskut.

After surging as high as $2.76 last summer (BMR gave a sell recommendation at Fib. resistance at $2.65 after our original buy alert below 40 cents during the first half of the year), GT Gold has fallen 80% to just 55 cents (today’s close).

Ouch…but these folks are all smiles!

Charlie’s no market wizard (virtually no geologists are) but he does understand how to find Gold, and he has found lots of it at Saddle South – a high-grade epithermal Gold-Silver vein system that was never drilled until last year.  GT Gold completed 28 RC holes last summer and 58 diamond drill holes for 16,000 m.  Abundant juicy intercepts along 1,000 m of east-west strike to >500 m down-dip from surface were highlighted by 51.5 g/t Au over 6.95 m in hole #7.

Meanwhile, a potential Red Chris-style porphyry system has been drilled into at Saddle North.

GT Gold is fully financed for this year’s work (about 85 million shares outstanding after the 84-cent flow-through PP closes) and Charlie told Jon this afternoon that the company expects to drill as much as 30,000 m in 2018, starting in June.

So this is why Charlie & Co. are smiling – they know they’re onto something big and they’re confident about where things are headed once the drills start turning again.

We bring GT Gold to your attention tonight, not because you should buy it tomorrow morning but you should put it on your “watch list” as a strong candidate for at least a double or even a triple from the spring lows to this summer’s high.

Technically, the stock is still being pressured to the downside but the absolute bottom in our view is 35 cents.  Anywhere in the 40’s would be a really astute buy for traders looking to cash in by mid-to-late summer.

Those Nickel Mountain Rocks! 

Daniel said it best earlier tonight, “Dr. Lightfoot’s excitement and intellectual intrigue for this property cannot and will not be contained!”. 

When the book is written on one of the great Nickel discoveries in Canadian history, the first chapter will be dedicated to Dr. Peter Lightfoot whose unique understanding of global Nickel sulphide deposits – a gift that puts him in a league of his own – has reshaped the exploration and mining future of northwest British Columbia.

Marijuana Stocks Gain Fresh Momentum

Canopy Growth Corp. (WEED, TSX)

Despite a recent correction that knocked more than half the value off Canopy Growth (WEED, TSX), the Big Daddy among marijuana stocks remains locked in an unambiguous bullish phase that we believe will ultimately take it to more than $70 a share (see Fib. Set #2 on the left of John’s long-term monthly chart).

WEED jumped $3.38 a share today to close at $32.37, a gain of just under 12%.

National Access Cannabis Corp. (NAC, TSX-V)

Recent weakness has been a great accumulation opportunity in National Access Cannabis (NAC, TSX-V) with the next measured Fib. resistance levels at $1.09 and $1.65.

NAC is a stock we initially recommended in November when it was trading in the low-to-mid-20’s, preparing to break out from a classic cup-with-handle pattern.  We remain long on this play because not only is the chart terrific, but the company’s growth prospects are more exciting than ever.

Christian Sinclair advocates that aboriginal people should be partners, not veto-holders.

On February 16, NAC announced that it has been selected by the government of Manitoba as one of 4 recipients of licenses to operate privately owned retail cannabis stores in the province.  Under the terms of the retail organization agreement with the Manitoba government, the company will be permitted to build, develop and operate in approved municipalities in the province.  In addition, NAC has completed several First Nations partnerships which will lead to the construction of retail cannabis locations on First Nations land in Manitoba. 

Mark Goliger, CEO of NAC, stated:  “With our history in successfully operating nationwide medical cannabis clinics, strong First Nations and licensed producer relationships, combined with our deep knowledge of safety, security and harm reduction, NAC is perfectly suited to exceed Manitoba’s current and future cannabis retail regulatory requirements.  With the province’s decision today, Manitobans will have responsible, secure access to recreational marijuana once legalization occurs.”

In late January, NAC appointed First Nations entrepreneur Christian Sinclair as a director of the company.  Sinclair is Chief of the Opaskwayak Cree Nation and co-chair of Manitoba’s Northern Economic Development Strategy. Since 2002 he has worked with indigenous groups across Canada and the United States, focusing on corporate development for major natural resource projects related to hydro, mining, Oil and gas.  He’s also one of the youngest recipients of the Top 40 under-40 executives in Canada, awarded in 2003.

NAC, which is backed by cannabis investor Chuck Rifici, co-founder of Tweed and CEO of Cannabis Wheaton Income Corp. (CBW, TSX-V), spent the past 6 months signing up Manitoba First Nations to its retail vision.

NAC 6-Month Chart

Like WEED and other marijuana plays, NAC backed off quite a bit from its recent high ($1.20) but it’s locked in a powerful bullish trend (has one of the best charts in the sector) with the EMA(20), currently 92 cents, providing reliable support since the uptrend began.

NAC closed up 4 cents today at 93 cents.

Growing company in a growing industry – no reason this stock shouldn’t continue to outperform the Venture.  NAC closed a $6 million financing at the end of January and has 130 million shares outstanding.

Note:  John, Jon and Daniel hold share positions in GGI.  Jon also holds a share position in NAC.

1. Gold has traded between $1,322 and $1,329 so far today after declining $23 an ounce over the past 2 weeks…as of 7:00 am Pacific, bullion is down $3 an ounce to $1,320…Silver has slipped 13 cents to $16.38Copper is off a penny at $3.10…Nickel has lost 11 cents, trading at $5.98, while Zinc has retreated 4 pennies to $1.49…Cobalt is steady at $36.85…Crude Oil has added 12 cents to $61.37 while the U.S. Dollar Index has gained one-tenth of a point to 90.11…a measure of U.S. non-manufacturing activity inched down in February but came in slightly higher than expected this morning, remaining near historic highs…the Institute of Supply Management’s index of non-manufacturing industries posted a reading of 59.5 in February vs. 59.9 in January…the index, which made its debut in 2008, tracks 17 non-manufacturing industries such a real estate and food services…

2. Australian Gold production has hit its highest level in almost 2 decades and new Gold discoveries and firm prices should help the nation maintain its position as the 2nd largest Gold producer in the world, according to mining consulting firm Surbiton Associates Pty Ltd. in a report issued yesterday…the firm said that Australian Gold production rose to 301 tonnes in 2017, its highest level since 1999…China, which according to the World Gold Council produced 430 tonnes of the yellow metal last year, remains the world’s #1 producer…

3. While Canada is throwing increasing roadblocks at its Oil and gas sector with carbon taxes, a burdensome regulatory regime and no political will to get pipelines built, the U.S. is going in the opposite direction and will overtake Russia to become the world’s largest Oil producer by 2023, accounting for most of the global growth in petroleum supplies…that’s according to a top industry monitor, the IEA, in its closely watched 5-year annual forecast released today…U.S. Crude production is expected to reach a record of 12.1 million barrels a day in 2023, up about 2 million bpd from this year, said the International Energy Agency which advises governments and corporations on industry trends…once heavily dependent on imports from the Middle East, the U.S. is getting closer to achieving its goal of producing enough Crude to meet domestic demand for refined products like gasoline…American influence on global Oil markets is also expected to rise, with U.S. Oil exports more than doubling to 4.9 million barrels a day by 2023, according to the IEA…until 2015, the U.S. didn’t export any Crude Oil by law, but in 5 years it’s expected to be among the world’s biggest exporters…

4. The Dow is off another 108 points through the first 30 minutes of trading after losing nearly 1,200 points in the last 4 sessions, but oversold conditions have clearly emerged…in Toronto, the TSX is up 18 points while the Venture is showing strength as the second day of PDAC begins…the Venture is up 9 points at 835 as of 7:00 am Pacific…key resistance is 833Cronos Group (CRON, TSX-V), which is coming off a strong week after its launch on NASDAQ, has changed its Canadian ticker symbol to CRON (same as NASDAQ) effective this morning…CRON is up another 42 cents at $12.57 as of 7:00 am PacificGolden Predator (GPY, TSX-V) has commenced a 4,000-m diamond drill program at its 100%-owned 3 Aces Project in southeastern Yukon…the drill program will initially focus on stepping out with wide-spaced drilling within the Central Core area…

5. Hopefully more creative thinking like this will emerge in the junior exploration sector – Metallic Minerals (MMG, TSX-V) and Group Ten Metals (PGE, TSX-V) have formed the Metallic Group of Companies, a collaboration of two precious and base metals exploration companies with a portfolio of very prospective assets in North America…by leveraging the combined decades of experience of its founders in mineral exploration, finance, capital markets, permitting and community relations, the Metallic Group sees an opportunity to maximize shareholder value for member companies…they will share resources for cost-efficiency and access to specialized technical expertise as well as experienced corporate governance and management teams…the Metallic Group currently comprises two member companies: Metallic Minerals, focused on high-grade Silver, Gold, Lead and Zinc in Canada’s Yukon, and Group Ten Metals, focused on Platinum Group metals, Nickel, Copper, Cobalt and Gold in the Western United States and Canada…a Copper-focused explorer is expected to be launched later in 2018

6. Lundin Gold (LUG, TSX) will use its first mine in Ecuador as a springboard to becoming a minimum 1-million-ounce-a-year producer with 3 or 4 operations…CEO Ron Hochstein said at PDAC yesterday.  “Our appetite is a good one. We’ve got great opportunities to grow organically and obviously we’ll look at other places as well,” he stated…the company will continue to focus on North and Latin America for future growth…the Vancouver-based miner is targeting the start of production at Fruta del Norte, Ecuador’s biggest Gold mine, for the end of 2019…the low-cost underground mine is expected to operate for 15 years and produce over 325,000 ounces of Gold annually…it encompasses 6 of the company’s 29 mining concessions covering 70,000 hectares of land…

7. More evidence of the big opportunity in Cannabix Technologies (BLO, CSE), a first mover in developing a marijuana breathalyzer for law enforcement and the workplace:  The Globe and Mail reported over the weekend that a survey by the Human Resources Professional Association found that 71% of HR professionals believe their workplaces are not prepared to deal with the coming legalization of recreational weed, including issues related to impairment, usage on the premises and safety…one major issue, of course, is whether impairment can be demonstrated in the same ways as individuals who are under the influence of alcohol…this remains a serious debate for employers as drug impairment can be more difficult to ascertain and there’s no product on the market yet to accurately detect marijuana impairment…
