Gold Price Will Continue Higher As Rate Of New Discoveries Decreases

The gold and silver market is consolidating and may be forming the right shoulder of a reverse head and shoulders pattern. The European Debt Crisis appears to be escalating once again.

This may be very bullish for precious metals and mining shares as they represent safe havens. For many weeks we have been calling for a rotation from overbought equities into precious metals and miners, especially the juniors.

Junior mining stocks are at record oversold levels, rarely seen by investors. This may be representing a historic bargain basement buying opportunity. Long term mining investors are aware that the rate of new gold discoveries is decreasing despite record exploration expenditures.

Enter center stage, a rising project generator such as Miranda (MAD.V).

Nevada’s Cortez Trend may be the flagship for a major miner such as Barrick (ABX.TO), which has plenty of cash, but is constantly in need of new blood.

Miranda may well be fortunate to have at its helm such experienced exploration mining men as Joe Hebert. He knows the territory, having explored Nevada for decades. Joe was instrumental in what is now Barrick’s multi-million ounce flagship discoveries while he was at Placer Dome. Barrick bought out Placer and acquired the Cortez properties.

Miranda just announced that Ramelius Resources, their partner at Big Blue, has started the 2012 drill campaign.

Ramelius has returned for a third round of drilling.  This shows confidence that they are getting closer to a discovery.  Read the full press release by clicking here…


The Big Blue project is similar to the Northumberland District where Fronteer Development Group reported to be developing a resource of 3.19 million gold equivalent ounces. Fronteer Gold, a previous GST recommendation was bought out by Newmont (NEM) in 2011 for a high premium. 
 
According to Miranda, “Both the Northumberland district and Miranda’s Big Blue project are within lower-plate windows having typical stratigraphy of the major sediment-hosted gold districts in Nevada. Both projects show alteration and gold mineralization but are off the well-defined Carlin and Cortez Trends. The Northumberland and the Callaghan windows both are associated with similar district-scale stream-sediment anomalies.”
 
In a recent interview with Ken Cunningham, CEO of Miranda Gold (MAD.V or MRDDF.PK)), we discuss Miranda’s other major Nevada Target, the Red Hill project which is on trend with Barrick’s Red Hill/Goldrush discoveries. Miranda’s drill hole BRH-013 is  the most significant intercept outside of Barrick’s holdings in the Cortez Trend. A positive development so close to Barrick could possibly generate interest.  Watch the interview below.
