Explorer Agrees to Partner on Nevada Gold Project with OceanaGold

Source: Streetwise Reports   04/22/2019

This deal comes right before this year's exploration season.

American Pacific Mining Corp. (USGD:CSE; USGDF:OTC) announced in a news release it entered into an agreement with OceanaGold U.S. Holdings Inc., allowing it to earn into its Tuscarora gold project in Nevada. OceanaGold U.S. Holdings Inc. is the U.S. subsidiary of the multinational OceanaGold Corp.

"For a company of our size, this transaction is a big milestone," American Pacific's CEO Warwick Smith said in the release.

According to the agreement, OceanaGold can earn up to 51% of the Tuscarora high-grade epithermal project by investing $4 million into it over the next four years. At that point, a joint venture management committee will be created. Also, OceanaGold may earn an additional 24% into Tuscarora by investing $6 million more over the following four years; the company has 60 days in which to exercise that option.

In addition, OceanaGold will pay American Pacific $50,000 upfront and $200,000 upon earning a 51% percent in Tuscarora, in both instances in cash or shares, whichever the payor prefers. OceanaGold will make all payments to holders of underlying property interests and for claim fees.

Whereas OceanaGold will be the operator of Tuscarora, both companies will work toward adding value to the project and identifying further drill targets on the expansive land package.

Goodbye Goldcorp, Hello Newmont

Source: Adrian Day for Streetwise Reports   04/22/2019

Fund manager Adrian Day reviews the Goldcorp-Newmont merger as well as provides updates on a number of resource companies in his portfolio, including some that he sees as good buys.

Goldcorp has been acquired by Newmont Mining Corp. (NEM:NYSE, 33.04). Shareholders voted in favor of the acquisition, though it was disappointing that, notwithstanding all the noise about excessive payouts, when given the opportunity, few shareholders seem to care enough to use their vote.

Goldcorp shareholders receive 0.328 of a share of Newmont (as well as a final 2 cent dividend). As a final insult for Goldcorp shareholders, Newmont paid its shareholders an extra 88 cent bonus before the merger.

Better times ahead?

Though, as Goldcorp shareholders, we did not like the transaction, and do not see any synergies in the combination, now, as shareholders of the merged Newmont we are holding for now. There will be some overhead savings, and more importantly, Newmont may be able to improve performance at GG's underperforming mines. Moreover, two of GG's larger mines, Peñasquito and Éléonore, are turning and should see improved operations going forward in any event. Newmont will divest non-core mines, improving the balance sheet, though this process will take years. Lastly, if the gold price improves and generalist investors return to the gold space, Newmont will be a stock they look to. We are holding for now, though watching progress carefully.

Major miner invests in Midland

Midland Exploration Inc. (MD:TSX.V; 1.29) announced that the world's largest mining company, BHP, has acquired 5% of Midland through a placement at C$1.70 per share, with warrants at $2.05 good for 18 months.

This is a great transaction, getting a well-respected shareholder, at a great price, but keeping dilution to a minimum. The investment comes after Midland's polymetallic discovery at the Mythrill property in James Bay, where drilling is currently underway. BHP did not have access to non-public information in making the investment, so it says nothing about how the drilling is going. The investment will enable Midland to continue exploration at Mythril without bring in a partner and diluting its interest in the project, though this is the likely eventual conclusion. We do not think this investment in shares is the end of the story, and BHP may be interested in a joint venture or other alliance of one or more of Midland's other projects.

The market response was muted, partly because BHP took only 5% of the shares; it is reported the company wanted a larger stake. More importantly, over 3 million shares from a flow-through financing came free-trading at precisely the same time, and participants in that were no doubt a significant part of the 2.1 million shares that traded since the news was announced (unfortunate timing, no doubt, but illustrative of my antipathy to flow-flow shares, where "investors" are often more interested in the tax write-off than the actual company whose shares they bought).

Be that as it may, it means investors still have the opportunity to buy Midland, at only a few pennies more than last week, but with the validation of a major mining company. Initial drilling results from Mythrill are expected in about four weeks. Midland remains a buy ahead of these results.

Much ado about nothing

Almaden Minerals Ltd. (AMM:TSX; AAU:NYSE, US$0.55) announced that a lower court in Mexico ruled that the country's minerals title system was unconstitutional; the case involved claims originally held by Almaden. It is but one of multiple lawsuits in a concerted effort by unions, lefties and environmentalists to throw a spanner in the works of the mining industry in Mexico.

The "argument" of the suits is that Mexican law does not require consultation between the government and local groups before an initial title is granted. This is different from any mining permit, where extensive consultation is required. In this case, the claims subject to the lawsuit were granted many years ago to Almaden in full accordance with the law as is; there is no dispute about that. It is also important to note that the lawsuit claims that the government should consult with local people, and is not a commentary on Almaden's extensive local consultation process. Moreover, the mineral claims in the lawsuit were voluntarily cancelled by Almaden in the normal course some years ago, while the current claims covering the Ixtaca deposit were not subject to the lawsuit. So other than a nuisance and potential poor publicity, it is a moot issue for Almaden. The fact that the stock price moved up after the company put out its release suggests the market agrees. Almaden, currently in the final permitting phase for its Ixtaca deposit, remains a buy on weakness for patient investors.

More significant that first appearances

Almaden spin-off Azucar Minerals Ltd. (AMZ:TSX.V; AXDDF:OTXQX, 0.35) hit a hypogene porphyry zone at the Raya Tembrillo target on its El Cobre property. This large zone of alterations with good copper grades is significant for several reasons. Eagerly anticipated drilling at this target last year was disappointing, but this latest result shows it has potential. Also, it is a distinct target from the heavily drilled Norte zone; there has been some criticism that the company has focused too much on this zone, suggesting to some that the size of the overall El Cobre is too small; this puts paid to that. And lastly, it brings the company closer to finding the porphyry center. Geologist and letter writer Eric Coffin put it this way: "this is the first indication that Azucar may have discovered the source mineralization for the supergene zone." The significance of this hole goes beyond the actual grades.

Separately Newcrest, which a year ago invested $19 million for a 19.9% interest in Azucar, exercised its "top-up" rights to maintain it 19.9% interest. Though this was a tiny amount of money (less than C$20,000), the fact that it chose to purchase more shares is a signal that it continues to be interested in the property. Newcrest's initial investment was intended to pay for a two-year drill program, though, given Azucar's low drilling cost, sufficient funds remain for an additional two years plus. Azucar is a buy at this level, again for investors with a long-term view.

Financing, revenue, sale, production and more

Other developments: Lara Exploration Ltd. (LRA:TSX.V, 0.57) closed its $2 million financing; this puts it in a strong position to continue its exploration program at the newly discovered Itaituba Vanadium project in Brazil. It is a buy at the current level.

Altius Minerals Corp. (ALS:TSX.V, 13.14) said it expects record royalty revenue of $21.5 million (50 cents per share) for the quarter ending March 31st, an increase of 36% over the same quarter last year. Increased ownership of the Labrador Iron Ore Royalty Corp., as well as better potash, base metals and iron ore prices all contributed, allowing the company to increase its full-year guidance to $77–$81 million, an increase of around 14% on the previous forecast. Altius remains a core holding; we would wait for a pullback to add more, maybe to the mid-$12 range (though the value remains good at the current price).

Vista Gold Corp. (VGZ:NYSE.MKT; VGZ:TSX, US$0.61) reported additional positive metallurgical tests from the ore at its Mt. Todd property. Though Vista is significantly undervalued based on its ownership of Mt. Todd, we don't see a rush to buy, and would add on significant weakness.

Yamana Gold Inc. (YRI:TSX; AUY:NYSE; YAU:LSE, US$2.23) sold its mostly copper Chapada Mine in Brazil to Lundin Mining. Though Lundin got the better of the deal, the $1 billion cash will enable Yamana to pay down its debt. Given the stock's decline from $2.70 a week ago, it is likely oversold now, and good for a trade (though there could be further weakness to $2.10 or so).

Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. (FSM:NYSE; FVI:TSX; FVI:BVL; F4S:FSE, US$3.05) released first-quarter production results from its two existing mines, showing significant declines in gold and silver production, but increases in lead and zinc, with costs are both mines within annual guidance. Fortuna is a strong buy at this level.

Keith Barron of Aurania Indicates Success with $100 Bills

Source: Bob Moriarty for Streetwise Reports   04/22/2019

Bob Moriarty of 321 Gold discusses what a move by the CEO of this explorer may signal for the company.

I wrote a book in January I called Basic Investing in Resource Stocks. So far it has the highest reviews I have ever seen on a book and I pretty much read a book a day. You can buy the Kindle version for $5.99. I priced it low so everyone can afford to buy it.

Someday I'm going to write the sequel to it. I'll probably call it Advanced Investing in Resource Stocks. It's going to be priced at $1000 for the Kindle version and a lot more for the print edition. It will be about five pages long.

I'll do two pages listing the crooks, con men and idiots in the business that mine investors and another two pages for the people you want to invest with. And a title page, of course. You have to have a title page.

If you went to the racetrack and wanted to make some money but didn't know anything about horses or the odds, there is actually an easy way to make money. If you are standing in a line with the rest of the punters and suddenly a tiny man wearing racing silks (or woman or transgender or whatever) pushes into the line in front of you and empties his wallets, signs over his last paycheck and hocks his gold Rolex and put it all on a bet for him to win his race, maybe you should bet with him. After all, he or she know a lot more about horseracing than you do. You don't actually need to know anything to make a winning bet. You just need to know who does know something about the race and follow their lead. That's why my next book is going to be both short and really expensive.

Aurania Resources Ltd. (ARU:TSX.V) just came out with an interesting press release announcing among other things, Keith Barron is loaning the company $4 million CAD for two years at 2% interest and the loan is unsecured by anything.

At first glance you might conclude Dr. Barron has lost his ever-loving mind. There isn't anyone in the mining business that would loan $4 million CAD to a junior at 2% and not demand either higher interest (like 55%) or a whack of shares. As much as I love Barbara, I wouldn't loan her money at 2%. Even love has limits.

But think for a moment. Keith is drilling the Lost Cities Project. He's finished six holes so far but hasn't gotten the assays back or announced any holes. Clearly he wants to do a lot more drilling than he has money allocated for.

Aurania is worth $105 million right now. Keith wouldn't have any problem doing a financing. But if it did, he would have to expand the number of shares. Maybe since he is the biggest shareholder already he realizes that they are on to something really really big. Since he's going to end up spending tens of millions of dollars defining a resource, he may was well wait for good results to come out and do a financing at a much higher price.

If Keith Barron pushes his way into the betting queue in front of you wearing racing silks and puts his whole paycheck on his horse to win, maybe he knows something you need to know. He won't be a tiny man, however, he's sort of a chunky monkey.

Insiders will always know far more than you will. You don't need to know anything more than how they are betting.

Aurania is an advertiser. I have bought shares in the open market and participated in two private placements. Do your own due diligence.

Masochism and the Average Gold Investor

Source: Michael J. Ballanger for Streetwise Reports   04/22/2019

Sector expert Michael Ballanger discusses generational attitudes toward investing and how they are affecting the precious metals markets.

Masochism: "gratified by pain, degradation, deprivation, etc., inflicted on oneself either by one's own actions or the actions of others."

On Friday afternoon, I completed my weekly missive, which was composed of a detailed analysis of just how magnificently Barrick Gold Corp. (GOLD:US) had been used by the interventionalists to manipulate the ARCA NYSE Gold Bugs Index (HUI:US), all of the big ETFs (GDX, GDXJ, NUGT, JNUG) and ultimately, the prices for gold and silver. Then suddenly, with little warning, I had an epiphany. Not only was the nine hours of work a complete and total waste of time, it suddenly occurred to me that a forty-year career spent nurturing a belief system anchored in the bygone days of Bretton Woods might just have been an exercise in redundancy and cognitive dissonance.

As if driven to reveal a hidden secret for all the world to see, I have carried an unalterable obsession with the notion that sound money principles would, in the end, return to prominence and in fact become seriously entrenched in the practices of governments around the world with gold and, to a lesser degree, silver acting as key components of a fiscal and monetary renaissance. Alas, as the Baby Boom generation fades away into old age and irrelevancy, it is at once both sad and obvious that the new wave of Gen-Xers and Millennials and Echoboomers have determined that there is little or no validity to the concept of sound money and have therefore rendered gold and silver, as monetary and fiscal canaries in the Modern Monetary Theory coal mine, as irrelevant and from an investment standpoint, useless.

I have on average about 200 conversations per week with investors from all over the spectrum in terms of age, wealth, nationality and interests. I normally make notes of the discussions, a fallback to my days as a financial advisor, long before email replaced notes as the proof-bearer of action and intent. What I found astounding is that all discussions pertaining to cannabis, social media, technology, or the future direction of the S&P500 lasted greater than fifteen minutes. Metals and mining conversations, including gold and silver, tended to be less than seven minutes and chats related to junior mining and exploration were less than three minutes with many instances of "subject changed" or "I gotta go."

Now, as a fervent addict to the thrill of new mineral discoveries ("There ain't no fever like gold fever!"), I have recently begun to feel like the heroin addict searching through life for that rush of euphoria that arrived long ago with that first hypodermic injection but the reality is that the new generation of investors found their hypodermic adrenalin in the form of technology stocks, then crypto, and finally and more recently, weed.

My friend James West was a gold and mining newsletter writer back in 2010 with the first promotional piece for Tinka Resources Ltd. but has since evolved into the foremost authority on cannabis and is enjoying a thriving if not booming career renaissance (and it couldn't happen to a nicer man). The remaining advocates for investment in precious metals and the related mining and exploration shares are in effect living a life "gratified by pain, degradation, deprivation, etc., inflicted on oneself either by one's own actions or the actions of others." In other words, they are practicing a form of masochism.

Take the last two companies that I have referenced in this missive, Getchell Gold Corp. (GTCH:CSE) and Western Uranium & Vanadium Corp. (WUC:CSE; WSTRF:OTCQX). GTCH is currently raising money and while it is going surprisingly well, it has not been an easy raise, what with the dismal action in metal prices since mid-February. WUC, however, began its US$2 million raise three weeks ago and Tuesday announced that it was significantly oversubscribed and in fact came in just under the full exercising of the 50% over-allotment option. This was a terrific development for the company but what surprised me greatly was the investor reaction to uranium and vanadium that was so diametrically different than the reaction to exploration for gold and silver in the most prolific precious metals environment in North America. The average investor "gets it" when you talk about the uranium (and vanadium) outlook but they stare at you with glazed-over eyes when you try to describe how Barrick Gold went from $1.80 to $3,300 per share from its activities in Nevada in the 1982–2010 period.

Here is yet another example of life in the isolated world of sound money advocacy. I was recently introduced to a private start-up company (that shall remain nameless, at least for now) and suffice it to say, the best description is that it is a type of "Facebook for Cannabis users." I had the pleasure of meeting over lunch with the 30-year-old Millennial female, exceedingly well trained and very well spoken, with a Master Grower's License and an MBA from the Ivey School, a couple of weeks ago after which I was asked to offer consulting advice in the area of capital markets related to financing. She asked me if I could assist the company in finding a few investors to participate in its seed round and while I won't mention the amount, I proceeded to call an accountant friend that uses me for feedback on mining investments. This very successful fellow has over the past ten years had his fingers in major real estate deals and crypto deals but also in the early-stage cannabis deals such as Canopy, so with that knowledge, I decided to ask him to assess this new non-mining venture as more of an "acid test" than anything else.

I described the deal as best I could, which was totally lame given my total ignorance of anything related to social media or weed. His reply after perhaps three minutes on the phone was "How much as you trying to raise again?" and after I told him (it was north of six figures), he said "I'll take it all," at which I choked on the phone and I said would get back to him shortly. I then proceeded to call a very successful realtor I know and I got precisely the same result. "I'll take it all. Send me the forms." I then proceeded to make seven additional calls and got seven additional "I'll take it all." responses. The point here is that I could work for a month to set up the best mining deal in the world and it would take another month or two to finance it but if it is anything related to the Millennial checklist of "suitable investments" (which include social media, cannabis, artificial intelligence and blockchain) four phone calls and it is done. Now, the contrarians would tell me that it is a sign of a "classic top" but the reality is that for the past decade, investors have been rewarded by buying more of "what is working" and selling "what isn't." Pot deals have been working but more importantly, mining deals, by and large, have not.

So, when I use the term "masochism" to describe the behavioral quirks of the average gold investor, the term "glutton for punishment" comes leaping into the forefront. To be constantly searching for that drill hole in the sky or the ultimate ascendancy of gold to $10,000 per ounce as all politicians, regulators and bankers disappear into a vaporous hole of failure and disgrace is not only unwise, it verges on Einstein's description of madness: repeating the same behavior over and over for the same negative outcome.

Over the years, I have been asked hundreds if not thousands of times "What would take gold to $10,000 per ounce?" and I always reply with the same conclusion: "When the USS Nimitz pulls into Gibraltar for a re-fit and they refuse the credit card." The American Empire dominates the world; the American "dream" is force fed around the globe; and the American monetary experiment has been duplicated by central banks everywhere to the extent that the Bank of Japan will soon own over 50% of the Nikkei and the Swiss National Bank owns $87.5 billion worth of U.S. stocks bought with money it printed out of thin air. Back in the days before the internet, the mere thought of a central bank dabbling in stocks evoked shrieks of horror; stocks were for gamblers and bonds and bills were for serious, prudent investors. Back in the day, counterfeiting was considered a crime and neither citizens OR central banks were allowed to do it. How times have changed…

While the average American sees little benefit to owning gold, domestic prices in Australia, Turkey, Russia and India have recently approached or surpassed their one-year highs. Only the U.S. and China (pegged the USD) have stayed at or near the levels of 2011. From the numerous charts posted below, it clearly demonstrates gold's utility as a protector of purchasing power, particularly in countries such as Turkey that have experienced sever currency crises. The point here is that gold actually has fulfilled its role as a safe haven in all countries across the globe except two: the U.S. and China. The U.S. vigorously defends its currency versus gold and China has a USD peg on the yuan and yet, the two countries are diametrically opposite in their actions. China has been a voracious buyer of gold and seller of U.S. treasuries while the U.S. has done the opposite.

The name of my publication was changed last year from "Gold and Gold Miners" to GGM Advisory for one very simple reason: relevancy. If actuarial tables conclude that the Baby Boom population is a rapidly shrinking demographic, if studies of investment demand confirm that the new generations of investors are decidedly ambivalent (if not hostile) to gold and silver investment, and if regulators and exchange officials continue to condone and indeed endorse continued price suppression, then waiting for the USS Nimitz to become a disabled, unpowered relic leading to a moon rocket in metals and miners could become a very, very long exercise. Most of us that are in or are approaching retirement don't have the luxury of time on our sides to await the arrival of that one singular event that justifies twenty or thirty years of holding on to the precious metals while the S&P 500, the NASDAQ, cryptocurrencies and weed make millionaires out of 30-something messiahs too young to remember the bursting of the dotcom bubble and in some cases, the 2008 subprime meltdown.

Since 2009, we have had numerous events that should have been the moment where gold and silver emerged as the "Go-To" asset class with the most recent being last Christmas Eve when the S&P closed in bear market territory while gold was screaming higher. With the flick of a switch, Treasury Secretary Smilin' Stevie Mnuchin stepped up and called upon the Working Group on Capital Markets to put a stop to the crash in stocks and since February 20th, every gold rally has been stomped out with intervention after intervention while every dip in the NASDAQ has been magically supported.

It is the same narrative whether 2001 or 2008 or 2018: rigging stock markets are essentially this decade's version of Roosevelt's "New Deal" back in the 1930s. Instead of building roads and dams, the policy-makers today build nothing except moral hazard and a generation of the "Entitled." It is a dangerous precedent and one which cannot last but the problem for us is that is HAS lasted a great deal longer than we might ever have imagined and there is nothing near-term to suggest that the Great American Ponzi Scheme cannot continue.

All right, now that I have concluded my rant on the madness being inflicted upon us, I have a couple of observations to make about gold. Earlier last week, I was looking at GLD wondering whether my GLD May $124 puts might hit $5.00 before the end of the week and then it occurred to me that my "Line in the Sand" at the prior lows of $1,282 and the subsequent "breakDOWN" was no different in its blatancy than the "breakOUT" in Barrick. So, I pulled up the GLD chart and lo and behold, while the sub-30 level for RSI sported two super buying opportunities in 2018, it has not been much under 35 in all of 2019 thus far.

Now, notwithstanding that the stock markets are getting somewhat stretched, I have to respect two things: 1) the dotted red line in the RSI window in the chart below and 2) that only in the perverse world of precious metals are technical "breakdowns" to be BOUGHT while technical "breakouts to be SOLD. Therefore, I have covered all of my shorts in both gold and the mining shares and initiated 50% long positions in JNUG, NUGT and the GLD June $120 calls. The chart below pretty much says all that is needed: we are at an inflection point that represented tradeable bottoms in mid-November and early March.

As a final observation (which could also be seen as a "confession" of sorts), I use my own behavior as a market barometer and with the benefit of time and age, I always go back and re-read my missives because they give me a sense of perspective on markets in the same way Anne Frank's diary provided perspective of a different time and place. Both diaries are extremely personal but both give the reader a wonderful window into the mindset of an era.

My entries from the week of October 19, 1987, revealed a relatively young financial advisor (34) coping with the total destruction of client assets, and to go back and re-visit the emotions contained in the words and syntax is still to this day painful. Anyone reading the diary of a young girl trying to avoid extermination is emotionally impacted far greater than by the musings of a stressed stockbroker but both messages allow reflection. I carry the utmost of conviction that sound money principles will prevail and I promise that I won't go into a seventeen-paragraph repetitive blather as to "WHY?" but if people are going to listen to what I have to say, I have to provide "actionable ideas" that carry logic, excitement, and weight.

My dad died in 2013 at the ripe old age of 89 and one of the things he drilled into me was that one of the things he learned as a WWII navigator in the RCAF was that many times, people tend to "think too much" as opposed to simply "reacting. As an example, as a fifteen year-old hockey-playing "sniper" (goal-scorer), I was going through a particularly painful slump where everything I fired at the net was getting blocked, saved, or veering wide. On the drive home from the venerable St. Michael's Arena, after hitting four goal posts and extending the dry spell to six games, I finally asked my dad (who never played the game except shinny on Grenadier Pond) what I was doing wrong, to which he responded "You're thinking too much—just fire the biscuit." The next game, on my first possession, I didn't even look at the net or the goal—I just ripped it from outside the blue line and, as if it had eyes, it pinged in off the far right post and into the goal.

As traders and investors, we all tend to "think too much" so when I launch one of my invectives upon all of you, try to remember that in the big picture, 5,000 years of fiscal history would validate the logic of owning gold but within that window, numerous generations have perished in poverty while bequeathing tonnes of it to their heirs, who sold it, bought (and smoked) cannabis, traded Bitcoin, and lived happily ever after.

Technical Analyst: Big Move Expected on 5G Semiconductor Firm

Source: Clive Maund for Streetwise Reports   04/22/2019

Technical analyst Clive Maund charts a semiconductor firm with 5G technology and explains why he believes there is a high probability it will break into another powerful upleg imminently.

A very tight technical situation has developed in Lattice Semiconductor Corp. (LSCC:NASDAQ) that is expected to lead to a big move imminently, and for reasons that will be set out here, the move is expected to be to the upside. You will recall that we went for it on the 11th and also bought Call options.

First some fundamental insights. This from Palm Beach Trader editor Jason Bodner, via Casey Research:

"The sector has shot up nearly 30% in this year's first quarter—its best start ever. And the overall market has followed. But if you think you've missed the boat on semiconductors, think again. Jason says his system is continuing to signal institutional buying in the sector (semiconductors). And that means more gains ahead for investors in these companies…"

We can see how the sector has performed on the following 16-month chart for the Semiconductor index, and the important point to observe on this chart is that, although the sector is now overbought, it has not long broken out to clear new highs by busting through a band of heavy resistance in the vicinity of multiple tops last year. This makes it unlikely that it will react back much, if at all—more likely is that it continues to ascend, pausing to consolidate from time to time. This should therefore provide a bullish background for the stock in the sector that is the focus of our interest, Lattice Semiconductor.


So now let's review the latest 6-month chart for Lattice to see how it is getting on. A big concern for many investors or would be investors in this stock is that it may be forming a Double Top with its March highs—this is what caused some traders to freak out when it plunged below its 50-day moving average during the morning on Wednesday, but by the close it had recouped most of the losses, and the day's action left behind a large bullish hammer candlestick on the chart. However, there are strong reasons for believing that instead of forming a Double Top it is marking out a very bullish "Running Flag" consolidation. One is that a high volume gap breakout of the kind we saw in the middle of February to new multi-year highs normally marks the start of a vigorous bull market that takes the stock much higher. Another is that while the stock has basically tracked sideways since its March peak, its Accumulation line has advanced to new highs, and the strength of this indicator at the time of Wednesday's intraday plunge is a telling indication of internal strength. What therefore appears to have unfolded from the March peak is an Elliott 3-wave A-B-C correction that Wednesday's intraday plunge served to complete. If this is a the case the stock should advance from here and a breakout to new highs now is likely to lead to a powerful advance.


Another interesting slant on the behavior of this stock in the recent past is that it appears to have coiled inwards to a point within a spiral that conforms with the "Golden Ratio" as shown on another 6-month chart below, and since it is unlikely to disappear into a black hole, we can expect the temporary state of equilibrium that now exists to catapult it strongly higher, for the other reasons that we have described above.


While we can never be 100% sure of anything in this game, the fundamental and technical factors that we have briefly reviewed here suggest a high probability that Lattice is going to break into another powerful upleg imminently that will result in substantial percentage gains for anyone buying here and big gains in the options that we bought earlier.

In the initial article on Lattice we went for the June $15 Calls which are at about the same price as where we bought them ($0.45 bid—$0.75 ask).

How high might the expected next upleg in Lattice take it? It is thought likely that it will be at least equal to the February upleg, which means it should ascend to the $17.50-$18.00 area minimum, with a high chance of a big overshoot.

FULL DISCLOSURE: I HAVE MAY $17.50 CALL OPTIONS IN THIS STOCK. The reason for recommending the June $15s for subscribers is that they are less risky. I am prepared to assume the much higher risk of failure inherent in the May $17.50s because I want the leverage. Curiously the spreads just widened dramatically on these options with a very high ask, which means that the market makers may be seeing "something coming down the pipe," although this is just speculation at this point.

Mining Firm Expands Its Reach with Artificial Intelligence

Source: Peter Epstein for Streetwise Reports   04/22/2019

Peter Epstein of Epstein Research digs into the potential of this company's AI technology, which he believes offers significant benefits for the stakeholders as well as investors.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is used in many sectors and applications, but not so much in the mining space. That makes no sense because AI is an extremely useful tool in dealing with challenges that have tremendous amounts of data and involve hundreds of variables. However, AI is just a tool, it's not a silver bullet solution. For mining, the area most in need of what AI has to offer is exploration for new discoveries.

The costs of exploration are going up. The easy stuff has already been found, the higher-grade ore already mined. Most exploration programs are searching in part, or entirely, for mineralized zones that are "undercover" (under overburden). Overburden is worthless rock or soil overlying a mineral deposit. It's the enemy of exploration geologists because it's very difficult to "see through." Various tools are deployed to understand what's beneath the overburden: geophysics; geochemistry, etc.

But each property is unique. What works well in one place might not work at all in another. Exploration (not just for metals) is the perfect setting—high uncertainty, lots of data, lots of variables, the potential for a big reward and substantial cost savings—for AI to be a valuable, cost-effective tool to aid geologists. Albert Mining's (AIIM:TSX.V) technology will never replace geologists, only assist them. Income tax software has been around for >20 years, but it has not replaced tax accountants—not even close.

Albert Mining has been using AI, machine learning and data mining for less than a decade. Clients benefit from a multidisciplinary team that includes professionals in geophysics, geology, AI and mathematics. Most of the team has been together for six to 10 years; they have 30+ proven discoveries. Management says it has a 70% success rate in identifying new zones of mineralization. If a gambler could be right just 60% or 65% of the time, he or she would become quite wealthy. Albert Mining's success rate is not higher because sometimes there's no additional mineralization to be found. Or, there's not enough data for the technology to operate at an optimal level, or the geology is simply too difficult to understand.

Each time the company's CARDS (Computer-Aided Resources Detection System) finds something, it saves the client considerable exploration time and money, and frees up managerial resources. The benefits are many, for all stakeholders, when there's a successful outcome.

Let me throw in this testimonial by Ron Perry, then a director of Metanor Resources, that I paraphrased from a recently shot video [see 2-minute video clip]. This was an Albert Mining success story from 2009-10 that's going into production. How many exploration projects make it to production? Not many!

Ron Perry, formerly of Metanor Resources: "I met Michel [Fontaine] of Albert Mining in 2009, He came into our booth at the Cambridge show, it sounded like he had some proprietary algorithms. We hit it off. I approached our VP of Exploration. I told him, 'If we use Albert Mining's technology and find something, it's your discovery. If not, just blame me, the finance guy'. . .In 2010 we made a discovery, off the main road, in an area that had no inkling or smell of gold. At the same time, Michel's team did some mapping around our tailings pond and there was another discovery, and that discovery is now going into production. A pretty amazing technology. . ."

What's Albert Mining's Secret Weapon?
Albert Mining owns 100% of a proprietary software package called CARDS, a state-of-the-art computer system used to identify areas with a high statistical probability of containing mineral deposits. High statistical probability is a key phrase: CARDS does not provide certainty; no system of any kind can. The backbone of CARDS is a knowledge extraction data mining engine that uses pattern recognition algorithms to learn the signatures of positive and negative data points to create a model that makes predictions on the positive or negative nature of new data points. CARDS uses powerful algorithms to analyze digitally compiled exploration data and identify zones with a high potential for discovery.

How Does All of This Work?
Data is entered into CARDS in the form of a geo-referenced database. Each data point, or "cell," in the database is linked to its own set of criteria extracted from geophysical surveys, drill and rock sample assays, geological maps, etc. It's critical that as much data as possible is captured and logged. Importantly, the system can take many different forms of data, (geophysics, geochemistry, topography, satellite, geology, faults, spatial data, etc.) which is why it's such a robust predictive tool. The data is divided into two databases.

The first database includes cells with known assay results (drill hole/rock samples data, etc.) and is used to develop—to learn—a model of the geological target being sought. The model could be set to identify targets containing >5 g/t gold. The second database, equally important, includes cells with no assay results. Complex algorithms are used to identify those cells that have a high similarity to the signatures of positive mineral deposits. In addition, in the analysis of each cell, the characteristics of cells within a specified distance, in the same neighborhood, are weighed into the evaluation of that cell.

Therefore, even cells lacking data can be effectively evaluated if the combination of their limited characteristics, and their proximity to cells with other significant characteristics, is similar to that of cells with known positive results. Unlike rule-based computer models, CARDS is not biased by the rules of any particular geologic model. In fact, because of CARDS' ability to learn and make predictions based on the signatures of multiple positive data points, it can make predictions on any geological deposit type.

Once the data has been crunched, which typically takes several weeks, prospective targets generated by CARDS are evaluated with the client, and both parties discuss and outline potential exploration and drill targets.

New Business Model, New Chairman, New Sectors: A New Albert Mining
In the past, this is where Albert Mining's work ended. They would provide a valuable service and move on. However, all of that is about to change. The company, with the support of large shareholders, is taking ownership stakes in companies it does work for. In addition, a new chairman should be named shortly. He or she will be well versed in this new operating model. The company's objective is to develop new revenue streams by participating in the exploration success of its AI-assisted exploration.

Albert Mining is currently running a program in Norway for Playfair Mining (PLY:TSX.V). Management recently invested CA$100,000 in Playfair at CA$0.05 (2 million shares) and signed a CA$75,000 service agreement. The RKV project covers two past-producing volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) copper mines (Kvikne and Rostvangen), a magmatic nickel-copper deposit (Vakkerlien) and >20 additional mineral occurrences. Management will use its proprietary technology to analyze a large amount of geophysical, geochemical and geological data to uncover patterns hidden in Playfair's data. It will then run those machine-learned patterns through its algorithms to identify prospective targets.

This technology has been successful in assisting geologists in the identification of a number of major mineral discoveries, especially in the context of VMS mining districts. As management continually tweak CARDS, they will now benefit more directly, and more substantially, from their high success rate.

CEO Michel Fontaine tells me his company will look a lot different in three or four months. A new chairman, a new business model, perhaps programs outside of just mining. Readers may recall that in a recent interview with Michel he mentioned searching for abandoned underground land mines and exploring for water as possible new business segments. Any high-value field or application where there's a lot of complex data is ideally suited for CARDS.

As CEO Michel Fontaine said in our interview last month: "We feel this is just the beginning of something potentially much bigger. No other company has the breadth and& depth, the vast experience in AI technology for mining (and new sectors) that we do. No one."
