The ten grams of gold found when slaughtering the duck were real gold. It was suspected that the ducks, which were allowed to roam freely near a river, had swallowed mud containing gold particles. This is because the Chenshui River was once known for gold mining. It even triggered a local gold rush from the 1970s to the 1990s. The finder interpreted the gold discovery as a sign of good luck. Today, more and more Chinese families, and not only them, are turning to gold as a store of value and a safe investment.

The situation in the Iran war has currently escalated. Stock markets are weakening and investors seem to have fled to the US dollar. Even the price of gold fell slightly, but has now turned upward again. Emergency sales had probably taken place to offset losses in other investments. The annual gain on gold is now around 17 percent. However, what is strengthening the gold price are geopolitical risks and weaker labor market data in the US. Safe investments should be in demand more than ever. And the rise in oil prices is fueling inflation fears. A consolidation phase in the gold price is possible.

From a technical perspective, the upward resistance is at $5,198 per troy ounce of gold. For a prolonged correction in the price of the precious metal to occur, the price would have to fall below the 55-day average ($4,844 per ounce). This seems rather unlikely. In any case, there is a certain amount of nervousness, as well as conflicting factors influencing the price of gold. However, gold should ultimately prevail as a safe haven.

Mayfair Gold – https://www.rohstoff-tv.com/mediathek/unternehmen/profile/mayfair-gold-corp/ – controls 100 percent of the Fenn-Gib Gold Project in northern Ontario in the prolific Timmins region. Key figures from the preliminary feasibility study are already available. According to the company, the gold project contains 4.3 million ounces of gold (an indicated resource of 181.3 million tonnes of rock with a grade of 0.74 grams of gold per tonne of rock) with exploration upside. Production is scheduled to begin in 2030. Currently, the first results from 36 of 56 diamond drill holes are available. Although these results are still preliminary, they inspire great confidence in the block model within the start pit.

U.S. GoldMining – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/us-goldmining-inc/ – stands for gold and copper. The company owns the promising Whistler project (100 percent) in Alaska, which hosts large gold and copper resources. The potential for new gold-copper porphyry deposits there has been demonstrated by drilling, and the preliminary economic assessment for the Whistler project has been very positive.
