Gold Price up as Dollar Weakens

NEW YORK, October 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Gold price was traded higher on Wednesday as U.S dollar weakened. Gold Spot rose 0.22 percent to $1,274.40 per ounce during Wednesday trading session. U.S. Gold futures for December delivery increased 0.18 percent to $1,277 per ounce. The U.S. dollar dipped against a basket of major currencies on speculation that a less hawkish candidate may be appointed for the next Federal Reserve Chair. Current chair Janet Yellen's term will expire in February. Gold is highly sensitive to the changes in U.S. interest rates as a higher rate will increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion.

Gold had gained nearly 10 percent year-to-date, boosted by global geopolitical uncertainties. The trading of the yellow metal may also be impacted by the long Chinese holiday. MKS PAMP trader Sam Laughlin said in a note: "Asian trade on Wednesday saw a modest recovery to bullion on the back of dollar weakness. The yellow metal looks to be settling in for a period of consolidation around current levels as interest out of Asia remains muted due to the Chinese holiday period."  

Magellan Gold Corporation (OTCQB: MAGE) on September 29th announced that, "its purchase of the SDA Mill, Nayarit State, Mexico, from Rose Petroleum plc (AIM: ROSE) is on track to close by the end of October 2017. The SDA Mill is a fully permitted and operational mineral processing plant and includes all associated assets, licenses and agreements. Major milestones towards closing were achieved on September 11, 2017, when Magellan and Rose announced the execution of a definitive purchase agreement, and on September 18, 2017, when Rose obtained its shareholder approval required for the sale. The final major item, restructuring of Mexican ownership of the SDA Mill, is in process and is expected to be concluded in October 2017."

"Acquisition of the SDA Mill will transform Magellan into a production company and will be an exciting development for our shareholders," stated CEO Pierce Carson. "Our strategy following the acquisition will be to resume processing operations, build production and increase cash flow."

Total consideration for the SDA Mill purchase is US$1.5 million, consisting of $1.0 million in cash and $500,000 in Magellan stock, of which $100,000 in cash already has been paid. As announced August 16, 2017, Magellan has arranged $900,000 in irrevocable bridge loans in support of its option to purchase the mill. The bridge loans are sufficient to complete the cash component of the purchase price. Although the parties anticipate closing to occur in October 2017, there can be no assurance that the purchase of the mill will be concluded.

Sam Coetzer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Golden Star, commented, "We believe that Prestea Underground is one of the highest-grade gold development projects in West Africa1. These initial results from our extension drilling program indicate that the West Reef extends to the north of the existing Mineral Reserves, representing the potential to increase the annual production rate in the near term. The in-fill drilling results have also further increased our confidence in the grade, thickness and continuity of the currently defined West Reef Mineral Reserve. I look forward to releasing further extension drilling results during the fourth quarter of 2017 and gaining a stronger understanding of Prestea Underground's longer-term potential as the drilling program increases momentum in early 2018."
