NEW YORK, February 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

According to the latest Gold Demand Trends report from the World Gold Council, the demand for gold increased 6 percent year-on-year to 1,095.8 tonnes in the fourth quarter of 2017. The price of the yellow metal gained about 11 percent in 2017 and was up 1.7 percent year-to-date. During Wednesday's trading session, Gold Spot was traded at about $1,315.98 per ounce, while U.S. Gold future for April delivery was traded at $1,318.10 per ounce. The rally in gold price this year is due to the weakness in U.S. dollar. Gold price is sensitive to the U.S. dollar as a weaker dollar makes other currencies holders cheaper to buy dollar-denominated commodities. Sunvest Minerals Corp. (OTC: SRKZF), Alio Gold Inc (NYSE: ALO), B2Gold Corp (NYSE: BTG), Klondex Mines Ltd. (NYSE: KLDX), Gold Standard Ventures Corp. (NYSE: GSV)

According to CNBC, Carlo Alberto De Casa, chief analyst at Activtrades, said, "The general scenario for gold is still positive. What we are seeing now (on the stock markets) is just a correction, and the dollar is still weakening (longer term) … I'm expecting gold to remain above $1,300 in the next few months. The problem for gold would be four (U.S.) rate hikes, but I don't believe (that will happen). At this stage inflation is still under control."

Sunvest Minerals Corp. (OTC: SRKZF) is also listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker symbol 'SSS'. Last month the company reported, "a new surface discovery on the Evening Star Property, located 16 kilometers southeast of Hawthorne, Nevada. 

Recent assay results indicate a significant zone of gold silver and copper mineralization discovered through sampling of old workings known as the "Golden Bomber" and "Golden Eagle" prospects. The new mineralized target area is designated as "Golden Highlands (GH) Zone".

Gold values up to 25.9 grams per tone (g/t Au), silver values up to 318.0 g/t Ag, copper peaks of 6.14% Cu were returned from surface samples over an area of approximately 300 x 200 meters (see table below). A total of 10 rock samples were taken from these new locations:

The new zone of mineralization is hosted in granodiorite, associated with limonitic fractures and shears, druzy and vuggy quartz-calcite veining, and weak to moderate copper staining. The historic works comprise old shafts, prospect pits and trenches

The Golden Highlands area is approximately 1.2 kilometers west-north-west of the Gold Bug zone, the principal target on the Evening Star property, with follow-up drilling planned for the first quarter of 2018 (Press Release July 25, 2017, drill hole ES 17-02 intercepting 5.3m of 0.84 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au), 105.3 g/t Ag, and 5.09 % Cu).

To the best of the Company's knowledge there has been no drilling on the Gold Highlands targets. Crews will be returning to the site shortly to conduct additional surface exploration on the GH targets and prior to drilling commencing on the Gold Bug Zone."

"Sunvest is delighted to have discovered a new zone of mineralization, with excellent gold and silver values, which can quickly be advanced to the drill stage", reports Mike England, President of the Company. "Sunvest's Evening Star property represents a strategic, significant land position in the very active Pamlico mining district. Our current exploration activities are focused to test multiple targets with a drill program on the Evening Star property planned for early 2018. The Evening Star property has excellent logistics and can readily be worked year-round."

Alio Gold Inc (NYSE: ALO) announced on January 30th the 2018 production and cost guidance for the San Francisco Mine in Sonora, Mexico. "After a turn-around year in 2017, we are expecting the San Francisco Mine to return to consistent gold production at 90,000 to 100,000 ounces this year compared to 83,558 ounces in 2017." said Greg McCunn, Chief Executive Officer. "In 2017 we undertook a significant waste stripping campaign to open up the main pit.  As a result, we now have increased mining flexibility and the ability to deliver consistent ore feed to the leach pads.

B2Gold Corp (NYSE: BTG) recently reported its gold production and gold revenue for the fourth quarter and full-year 2017 in addition to its production and cash cost guidance for 2018. All dollar figures are in United States dollars unless otherwise indicated. For the full-year 2017, consolidated gold revenue was $638.7 million (or an annual record of $739.5 million, including $100.9 million of pre-commercial sales from Fekola) on sales of 510,966 ounces (or an annual record of 590,209 ounces including 79,243 ounces of pre-commercial sales from Fekola) at an average price of $1,250 per ounce compared to $683.3 million on sales of 548,281 ounces at an average price of $1,246 per ounce in 2016. The decrease in annual gold revenue (excluding pre-commercial sales from Fekola) was attributable to a 7% decrease in gold sales volume due to the timing of gold shipments.

Klondex Mines Ltd. (NYSE: KLDX) is a junior-tier gold and silver mining company focused on exploration, development, and production in a safe, environmentally responsible, and cost-effective manner. The Company has 100% interests in four producing mineral properties: the Fire Creek Mine, the Midas Mine and ore milling facility, the Hollister Mine, all of which are located in the state of Nevada, USA, and the True North Mine and mill in Manitoba, Canada. True North is an underground mining operation consisting of several underground narrow-vein gold deposits in addition to a modern, fully-permitted modern gold mill capable of processing up to 2,500 tons per day. This facility will be able to maintain the capacity from True North as well as alternate ore sources. Recently, the company reported a Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource update for the Fire Creek mine located in northern Nevada, USA.

Gold Standard Ventures Corp. (NYSE: GSV) is an advanced stage gold exploration company focused on district scale discoveries on its Railroad-Pinion Gold Project, located within the prolific Carlin Trend. On January 11, 2018, the company announced results from three reverse-circulation (RC) drill holes at Jasperoid Wash, on claims recently added to its 100%-owned/controlled Railroad Gold Project in Nevada's Carlin Trend. Jasperoid Wash is located approximately 6 km south of the Pinion Deposit and 7.5 km southwest of the Dark Star Deposit. These three holes are a portion of Gold Standard's 2017 US$15.5 million exploration program. All three RC holes intersected thick zones of near-surface, oxidized mineralization, effectively increasing the size and grade of the shallow oxide gold zone drilled in JW17-01. The new deposit remains open in all directions. Results from seven additional RC holes and one core hole are pending.
