This is typical seasonality for a drill play. I don't know why weak price and volume gets anybody bent out of shape, it is a gift to accumulate if you have optimism about drilling, transactions to occur and the price of gold.
Macro picture - all asset classes are floating up on oceans of government money creation and spending programs. Gold will not buck that trend forever, especially as broad market risk lengthens.
Micro picture - you have heard KK tell his story - what did he say, I can find an ounce of gold for every drilling dollar you give me at treaty creek.
Patience for a few weeks here.
