A must read article talking about how the Scumbags at JP Morgan spoofed the gold market and manipulated their trades for years. Everyone of these Assholes should be in jail including Jamie Dimon, especially him. Of course, this is all mandated by the Banksters for JPM to do. This stuff is what the Banksters have them doing and of course it was allowed for years and never prosecuted.
Another perfect example about how corrupt this system really is.

Yes, you're absolutly right. They're guidance is always poor, so the easy guidance for them is already done. They were hoping to this point their rate hikes wouldn't cause something to break but going forward they're unsure of what they can do as far as future hikes go.
IMO that's why in large part the market is rallying, I think the market sees no guidance as a signal from them the rates will stop or become smaller in size. Of course, as much as they don't want to admit a recession is here or is coming when it's obvious the recession is here, they'll be forced to stop and most likely reverse course. The only question is when will it happen.
I still think we're going to see something break or possibly a geopolitical event come along to get them off the hook. I don't see how they can bring inflation down unless some big deflationary event takes place to make that happen.
I think the miners are going to perk up moving forward. I'm not saying they'll go straight up from here, but we're in a very good place now with the rest of the market being in a recession/earnings crunch. PM miners are going to be in the spot light once we get through those old price highs. IMO we're not that far away from that happening.
I love how they will not offer future guidance. Of course, it is because past guidance has been poor. Jay should bail before the crash occurs, otherwise history will have him as the Fed chair that caused and/or governed over the crash. He won't get the same situation as Bernake - this crash will be systemic instead of just a few economic sectors and there will not be recovery to prior levels - just readjustment/realignment.
The miners are responding well to this minor bump in the gold price.
IMO this article has it about right. The Banksters don't know what they're going to do going forward, they're playing it by ear. Of course, they call it following the data, which is ALL trending lower, so as the economic data trends lower they'll be forced to pivot and reverse course with interest rates, regardless of how high inflation still is or when interest rates cause financial markets to break. I believe that's yet to come.

Why the big move higher in PM's today? My guess is we had another negative print for Q2 GDP at -.09 this morning and that's telling the markets we'll see the Banksters make their pivot sooner rather than later. Recession fears are going to actually be positive for gold/silver because investors see bad economic news as rates moving higher less likely. They can't and won't be able to raise rates into a slowing economy.

This is an amazing video from the Chartist I've seen on CNBC quite often in the past, Carter Worth. He lays out some fantastic charts on a number of different items, including gold.
He seems to be very bullish gold right now and talks some about holding physical, ETF's, and the miners. Some of the charts he shows repeat too often and in sequence to be coincidental.
My guess is that it is a scheduling issue probably with Keith, but who knows. Maybe in the next couple of weeks they can get that last 2.5% of the hold-out on the property.
I want to see what Keith has to say, Dan's pretty much said all he has to say in the last few days.
Hopefully they are working on something they would like to include in the webinar instead of it being a scheduling conflict, family emergency, etc.
I got an e-mail yesterday saying the webinar with Dan and Keith is being postponed until sometime around mid August.
It had been scheduled for today.
Dilution is a necessary evil when it come to the operation of a mining company, unless for some reason the Company is sitting on a lot of cash and that's pretty much non-existent.
IMO the biggest positive in what FMG has done with its partners has been to use our agreements to get each partner to find more gold on said property. To date, that hasn't played out real well for our partners share prices, but I'm hopeful that will change when the gold price starts moving higher.
Remember you're never going to get a mine financed unless enough gold is proven to be there. Even at a place like Springpole or Pickle Crow.
I'm sure Hope Brook gets plenty cold to have significant freezing, but they also are right on the ocean and have access via ship to the mine. It's not cold enough to freeze the ocean water there. Also looks like they have an air strip.
I'm really disliking the constant dilution on all fronts....but the drilling increases the odds of success. FF's interests in Auteco, Treasury and Big Ridge should be quite nice after some time...even with the dilution.
Just out of curiousity, how much of a freeze does Hope Brook have every year? It has got to be substantially less than Dryden.
They're moving forward with more drilling. That's always a good thing.
I hadn't seen "Parallel Mike" before either, but what he said made very good sense to me. I'm going to go on his U-tube channel and check him out further.
Tom B. on Palisades Gold Radio is an excellent interviewer and has great people every week on his channel. I think he's probably better than even Kitco or Stansberry Research IMO.
Parallel Mike had much to say. He gave a lot of historical references to what we're seeing now, which I find supportive when making a case for where we're headed. I thought he made a great point for how the East (BRIC) and West (U.S. and Europe) are becoming more bifurcated in terms of getting away from the dollar. That's become obvious now and also how going to a commodities-based currency benefit most of the rest of the world and not just the U.S., so why wouldn't other countries want for that to happen? The rest of the world is waking up to that fact and so are the Banksters. The U.S. is no longer the Top Dog and everyone else has figured that out. We'll most likely see more global conflict before the "official" title is handed over to China, but hopefully it won't take WWIII for that to happen.
Gold will take off higher and most likely be revalued at a higher price when this new commodity based currency comes into existence. We know silver will follow. PM manipulation will be broken because everyone will want to reveal their REAL percious metal holdings. China will reveal their's at some point before that time is my guess.
We should see one final blow off top with the fiat money printing. before it collapses and everyone loses faith in fiat altogether, as Mike noted that will be painful and it will be so because of very high inflation. That happens after they do the CBDC because after that the fiat will be completely debased and destroyed.
Some sort of new Bretton-Woods will be set up to have a Great Reset and move to the new currency system. JMO
Thanks for posting that interview. I have not seen him before. Good talk and the host has done many great interviews in the past.
Unfortunately, I feel like he is correct in saying the current top dog countries will not agree to a new paradigm without a fight. I am concerned that fight will destroy many countries and throw the world into chaos and/or depression.
The WEF acolytes are trying their best to push the disastrous WEF agenda. I just read today that PM Castro is trying to impose nitrogen restrictions on Canadian farmers much like the government has done in the Netherlands. I cannot believe this. Intentionally trying to destroy the existing food system is a dangerous game. Ottawa may have a harder time dealing with both truckers AND farmers.
Hopefully the miners are not affected, but I think they have to strategize and develop different options for such intrusions into their affairs. Both FF and Treasury are at sensitive points in their timelines and bone-headed governmental interference (i.e.- you have to transition to all electric vehicles by a specified date) could result in significant delays. Let us hope that does not happen.
I also hope that the gentleman who was interviewed is right about gold coming officially back into the system. That would be HUGE for FF and all related compnaies.
I have to laugh when I watch interviews like this that have former Fed governors talking about what the current Fed has to do to control inflation. The Guy being interviewed was on the Fed and he's saying the Fed has to go as high as is necessary NOW to control and bring down the inflation. He mentions 5 or 6% interest rates for them to do that, which is total bullshit because that can't happen and anyone in their right mind knows it can't happen.
Why don't the fools interviewing him call him out on it? If this ex-Fed gov is that dumb then all I can say is no wonder this is all fucked up. Do away with the Fed and let the free markets run on their own. They can't do that because everything they've falsely created would implode.
This is an amazingly accurate overview on what I would agree is going to happen going forward. The only thing this Fellow didn't touch on that I think will play a big role in the coming reset is when the Banksters roll out their digital currencies. IMO that will happen most likely before the BRICS countries start getting around the dollar and why the inflation we'll see in the future will be much worse than it is now. That's what will break this current System. This Guy is spot on with much of his theories.
You're 100% correct. Pump it on the way up and make a fortune, then don't say a word as it collapses. I assume they'll resume pumping when the Banksters turn the money spigots back on.
Another Dan presentation. He mentioned Cameron. Sounds like they are working there a little.
Another circus clown saying one thing and doing another. So many of them do the exact same thing - pump and keep pumping as you are selling and then criticize and question when the price is down while you are secretely building a position.
I've been fairly impressed with the way our shares moved up this week. Not a parabolic move, but nice nonetheless.
I've been fairly impressed with the way our shares moved up this week. Not a parabolic move, but nice nonetheless.
He did the same thing with Tesla stock. I remember when the was unloading millions of shares of Tesla at the end of 2021. He claimed he had to sell Tesla stock to pay his taxes. Bullshit, he sold a LOT more shares than what it took to pay his taxes.
He was lightening up because they saw this correction/recession coming and it was the same with the Bitcoin selling. You know his advisors were telling him to unload the majority of his crypto because of its impending collapse. He was pumping it as hard as anyone on the way up, I didn't hear him say shit about buying when it was falling like a rock.
And lookee there......old Elon sold at a pretty darn good time. Shocker.
https://www.coindesk.com/price/bitcoin/
Click on the 1Y chart. Bitcoin was still high in November/December 2021.
Anybody see this? IMO it does say something when you pare back 75% of any investment. It tells me You don't have faith in it moving higher in the near term anyway. If Musk believes so much in Bitcoin why did he sell any of it? Why not hold it for the long haul?
He did it for the same reason everybody else did....FOR A TRADE.

Short Kitco interview with Dan on our new acquisition .
You definitely want to watch this Kitco video. The Man being interviewed makes some very interesting calls on interest rates, inflation, and the dollar. Note what he says at the end of the video about the gold price and what He expects the PM miners to do.
Very interesting interview with Martin Armstrong. He makes a lot of sense.

Good article speaking to the implications of the strong dollar we're seeing now and what happens when it's move higher is over. IMO we see the next move higher in the PM sector and the miners when this higher dollar move is over.

ARDDF.......................................JUNE 2022 QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT
HIGHLIGHTS
? Recent assay results of up to 148g/t gold from drilling at the Western Hub confirm significant high
grade gold potential at the Pickle Lake Gold Project.
? Results from another 40 holes yet to be received, with visual gold, sulphides and alteration noted in
5,939m of drilling completed across a 20km strike length of the Western Hub.
? Drill programme paused to allow laboratory results to be received and interpreted, ensuring
subsequent exploration work at the Western Hub is accurately targeted.
? Gold results received from the first 3 holes reported show visual gold and massive sulphide intervals
with assay results including:
o Esker Prospect : WP22-03 148.0 g/t Au and 57.0 g/t Ag (70.29-70.59m)
o Tonsil Prospect : DD22-04 33.6g/t Au (117.5-117.8m)
o Tonsil Prospect : DD22-03 9.45g/t Au (107.5-108.2m)
? Exploration spend on the New Patricia (Esker) Prospect considered sufficient to meet 100% earn-in
milestone with Exiro Minerals Corp.
? Lithium JORC resource at the Aubry Deposit increased to 9.9Mt @ 1.04% Li2O by JV partner Green
Technology Metals (ASX:GT1).
? Strong financial position with A$4.37m cash, A$7.63m current value1 of its 13,049,520 GT1 shares.
? Ardiden has a surplus of Exploration Assessment credits to ensure the Company’s overriding strategy
of planning its exploration programmes prudently and in tune with prevailing market conditions.
Ardiden Limited (‘Ardiden’ or ‘the Company’) (ASX: ADV) is pleased to report on June Quarterly Activities at its
highly prospective Gold and Lithium Projects in northwest Ontario, Canada (Figure 2).
During the period, Ardiden’s primary focus was drilling activities at its Pickle Lake Gold Project, where nearly
6,000m of diamond drilling has been completed so far at the Western Hub (Figure 6).
Assay results from just 3 holes of the 43-hole programme have been reported so far (refer announcement 14
June 2022). Another interim drill results update is planned in the coming weeks as assays are received from the
laboratory. The balance of drill results are expected during August and September.
Drilling has paused to allow for assay results to be received and interpreted which will allow a better
understanding of the gold mineralisation and to plan the next phase of very exciting exploration activities. The
delay in assay results also provides opportunity for prudent cash management.
On the Lithium projects, Ardiden’s lithium joint venture partner, Green Technology Metals (ASX:GT1), has
meanwhile funded all activities and doubled the JORC resource at Seymour, one of three joint-ventured
hardrock spodumene lithium projects (Figure 10).
1 GT1 shares escrowed until 10 Nov ’23. They are calculated at the closing price of $0.585 on 18 July 2022.

Drilling at the Western Hub so far has completed 43 holes for 5,939m of fully oriented diamond core to a
maximum depth of 252m, comprising:
1. Esker Prospect - 18 holes for 2,206m
2. Tonsil Prospect – 19 holes for 2,680m
3. Dorothy Prospect – 3 holes for 655m
4. Dobie Prospect – 3 holes for 398m
Ardiden’s drilling in the Western Hub is targeting the Golden Patricia geological sequence both to the northwest and to the south-east of the historical underground mine. The mine was developed to 750m vertical depth
over a 3km strike length and extracted 619,796oz Au @ 15.2g/t Au*and ceased operations in 1997 due to poor
gold prices.
Ardiden’s drill programme has been systematically testing four gold prospects along a 20km strike length and
will expand over time to the full 60km length of the entire Western Hub belt. Location of the Western Hub gold
prospects and drillholes with reported results are shown below in Error! Reference source not found..
Figure 3 - Location of Prospects and current Drilling along the Western Hub of the Pickle Lake Gold Project
Due to a large backlog of samples at the laboratory, drilling has paused to enable drill results to be received and
interpreted to enable better targeting of subsequent work programmes at the Western Hub.
There remains another 40 completed diamond drillholes in process through the logging, cutting and laboratory
pipeline that are yet to be reported. During the quarter, however, initial gold assay results from the first three
were reported (refer announcement 14 June 2022) and included:
o Esker Prospect: WP22-03 148.0 g/t Au and 57.0 g/t Ag (70.29-70.59m)
o Tonsil Prospect : DD22-04 33.6g/t Au (117.5-117.8m)
o Tonsil Prospect : DD22-03 9.45g/t Au (107.5-108.2m)
The Company targets to report results for the next 12 holes in the coming weeks as they are received from the
laboratory.
Final assay results will include a wider suite of elements and continue to stream through over

Another point I didn't make was what Dan mentioned about how the new property was very similar to the Hardrock Mine that Steve Lines and his team recently permitted and it sold for $600M.
I thought that was an interesting comparison he made between those two mines.
Yes, it saves tons of time, simply because the work has already been done. Clifton Star was active at the mine until 2014 from what Dan said. Just before we took our stake in the property. This was just another really good investment made by Keith and the Team he put together to purchase the FMG properties. They made a minority purchase in the property in the hopes that something like this could happen at a later date and it did.
Having Matt interview Dan is the best way for FMG Shareholders to get information because Matt is always digging and asking the hard questions. Matt always comes across to me as being neutral when making his interviews, even if the interviewee is being positive. He asked some great questions of Dan without even knowing much about the property. I expect his next interview to be much more precise and detailed. Like You said, "get into the weeds" even more. I believe he said next week.
Dan spoke briefly on how they wanted to fund the continuing work at Duparquet and he rattled off a few things including the royalties. I have a feeling that we may get some news coming very soon on additional Company funding. I don't have any inside knowledge of it, but just call it a gut feeling. IMO Management will want to show the Company as being well funded at least through to the Springpole permitting and we're not there anymore. We're spending at least $8M cash with this acquisition. I suspect Keith wants to see us at cash levels that put us back in a position of being well funded. I suspect that may have already been planned out and done. We'll see, maybe we get some news on that before the Keith/Dan webinar next week.
Saves money AND time. I agree that the questions evoke more detail from Dan. Dan in response did a good job of describing the history there and the activities that have already been done which will help First Mining. This stock has the potential to rocket if they announce any kind of partnership on Springpole. He also mentioned the royalties. I am curious on what they will do with them.
Hopefully Matt does what he says in the next interview - "get into the weeds." Based on what they mentioned, that may occur sometime soon.
Just watched the Crux interview. What I really like about Matt interviewing Dan is the questions provoke deeper answers from Dan.
Dan gave more detail in this interview than he did in today's webinar because of Matt's questions. One of the main advantages I took from what Dan said was for all the prior work that's been done at these properties. I think he said we could almost do a prefeasibility study now without doing any drilling. but by using the info. from the past drilling that was done there. That saves a lot of money.
This property seems to have characteristics similar to Pickle Crow in that there seems to be a lot of prior mining done there before, but with the potential to expand into a much bigger asset. It said in the original PR there has already been 1.3M oz. of gold come from the mining done there. Dan alluded to the fact that this property would be something FMG would want to keep for themselves.
I think we fell into a pretty good deal by acquiring this asset. It appears the Street hasn't recognized it yet, so what else is new. Eventually the Street is going to figure it out.
If this news had broke during a full blown PM bull market our shares would have gone through the roof.
Today's webinar lasted all of 15 minutes total. That's with Dan answering three questions, so You didn't really miss anything to speak of.
Dan said almost the same thing he said in the Proactive interview I posted yesterday.
I asked the question about having to raise more cash before Springpole gets permitted and he confirmed that to be the case. It only stands to reason because if they only have $20M in cash left now, this acquistion is probably going to take close to half of that before all is said and done.
I want to hear the webinar next week with Keith present. He usually has a little more to say than Dan.
I could not listen to the webinar today...hopefully I can listen to the one next week with Dan and Keith.
... more assets on the already loaded plate and I'm good with that. I really like this move for the boldness and bullish conviction moving forward, no doubt this down/sideways move in gold contributed to the price point. No idea what the lay of the land is on this deal but the style points are high for me so I added on this news. GLTA
Well, that was certainly short and sweet, 15 minutes total. Almost really not worth messing with.
There's no doubt they'll have to rasie more cash before Springpole gets permitted.
They're going to have another webinar next Wednesday with Keith joining in. That will be the one to watch.
Thanks for the links. He did sound bullish. Hopefully I can carve out time to listen to the webinar tomorrow.
Hopefully he'll go into how "advanced" the project is tomorrow.

Dan interviewed by Proactive. He sounds very bullish.
https://www.proactiveinvestors.com/companies/news/987730/first-mining-gold-makes-offer-to-acquire-beattie-gold-mines-to-consolidate-asset-987730.html
Dan will be hosting a webinar tomorrow at !2:00 ET and be answering questions after he talks, so we can ask what we want then.
I think questions about how much cash we'll have after this deal is done and if we still have enough cash to get us through to the Springpole permitting would definitely be in order.
I'll be interested to hear what other industry analysts have to say about what we paid for this property, but I think to be able to consolidate the whole property is what their plan was in buying the smaller portion from the beginning. The opportunity presented itself and they took it. More share dilution is not the best thing, but if the people taking our shares have faith in us, that's not all bad either.
Paul told me there were things working behind the scenes and maybe this news today is just the beginning. We'll see.
Just got done with the day and read the PR and posts on the board. I hope this acquisition proves worthwhile. I will be interested in hearing how much money FF will have remaining to get Springpole to the finish line.
Crux Investor posted on another board they are interviewing FF this week, so if you have any questions you want answered email them to info@cruxinvestor.com or to the company at info@firstmininggold.com. They have answered some questions I submitted previously.
In today's PR Keith said this, "This transformational acquisition has been a few years in the making and grows FMG's M&I gold resources by 40% and inferred gold reserves by 50%. Duparquet fits perfectly with First Mining's strategy and the capabilities of our team to advance and de-risk a second world class asset."
This would appear to be a nice addition to our other holdings and definitely something we can build on as a stand alone asset like Springpole and Cameron if they choose to go that route. IMO it also makes the Company much more attractive as a takeover for a much bigger Company to develop, First Majestic is the first to come to mind.
Dan will have his say on the webinar tomorrow, so my guess is he'll be very positive about the deal.
Your point is well taken, but after reading the PR on what's happened with this move it looks like we got the rest of a VERY good property in Quebec. I don't think anyone is going to acquire a property like this one for cheap. Our shares are up nicely on the news, so it would seem that it is being looked upon as a favorable deal for us.
Here's the Company PR:

We are printing shares faster than the Fed prints Federal Reserve Notes, LOL.
The total consideration of the Beattie Offer is $4.43641 cash per Beattie Gold share and 35 First Mining Shares per Beattie Gold share for a total cash consideration of $6,227,176 and the issuance of 49,127,820 First Mining common shares.
