FinancialBuzz.com News Commentary

PR Newswire

NEW YORK, November 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Gold price rose on Wednesday as report said the Senate is considering to postpone the tax reform plan. Gold Spot rose 0.54 percent to $1,282 per ounce during the Wednesday trading session. While U.S. Gold future for December delivery was up 0.56 percent to $1,283 per ounce. According to an article from the Washington Post, the Senate Republican leaders were exploring a delay in the implementation of a corporate tax cut until 2019. The U.S. dollar weakened against major currencies on Wednesday after the news. The U.S. dollar index fell 0.06 percent to a three-month low at 94.85. Gold price is sensitive to the U.S. dollar as a weaker dollar makes other currencies holders cheaper to buy dollar-denominated commodities. Bonterra Res Inc. (OTC: BONXF), Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (NYSE: HMY), Yamana Gold Inc. (NYSE: AUY), Asanko Gold Inc. (NYSE: AKG), B2Gold Corp. (NYSE: BTG).

The yellow metal has gained 11.75 percent this year. According to an article from Kitco News, Macquarie Group said in a recent report that gold may hit $1,400 in 2018. "Yes, the Fed will have to raise rates - growth remains higher than trend - but this is becoming true elsewhere," the bank said. "Crucially we think the dollar is more likely to weaken than strengthen pre-2014 levels are perfectly achievable. And political risk factors - an unpopular president unable to match up to his domestic promises and facing complex and potentially unsolvable foreign problems - are also be in gold's favor."

Bonterra Res Inc. (OTC: BONXF) is also listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker 'BTR'. Earlier today the company just announced breaking news that, "the ongoing Resource Development Program in and around the Gladiator Gold Deposit has successfully increased the width of the Main Zone and extended the strike length of multiple gold-bearing horizons. The results from the current drilling campaign continue to expand the size and further confirm the continuity of the Gladiator Gold Deposit. Noting the aggressive drill program at Gladiator, assays from multiple drill holes are pending in lab, and the Company anticipates additional drill results in the near future.

Highlights and Observations:

- Results from six (6) recent drill holes have increased the width of the Main Zone and have extended the strike length of the Footwall and North Zones.

- Hole BA-17-38 extends the North Zone down plunge to 700 m below surface with 4.0 m of 7.3 g/t Au including 24.8 g/t over 1.0 m.

- Hole BA-17-38 increases width and grade down plunge in the Main Zone with 9.4 m of 8.2 g/t Au at 800 m depth.

- Hole BA-17-37 confirms the eastern continuity of the South Zone with 1.5 m of 17.6 g/t Au at 500 m depth.

- Hole BA-17-39B extends the Footwall Zone to the east below surface with 5.0 m of 11.5 g/t Au at 500 m below surface.

- To date, continuity of mineralization is now confirmed over a total drilled strike length on at least two horizons (Main and Footwall) of 1,200 m, as well as a drilled depth of 1,200 m. Please see http://www.bonterraresources.com/en/gladiator/maps-sections for updated maps including long sections and cross sections.

Nav Dhaliwal, CEO and President, stated, "We continue to establish the Gladiator Gold Deposit as a very large gold system, with multiple parallel gold horizons that continue to be expanded along strike and also appear to show signs of increased width, as shown in hole BA-17-38, where 8.2 g/t Au over 9.4 m was intersected. Since 2011, approximately 88,500 m of drilling has been completed at the Gladiator Gold Deposit, which includes over 40,000 m so far in 2017. As we approach our winter drill program, we are looking to expand up to six drill rigs to ensure we continue our expansive resource development program. Because of our continued drilling success over the last two years at Gladiator, we have a high level of confidence that in 2018, we will be in a position to significantly upgrade the size of the geological model and complete a sizable mineral resource update."
