CALVF Q2 gold production numbers at Blanket are due about a week from now, and I expect increased gold production news will cause CALVF to finally break the LT long term 20 year downtrend line - at $1.02, and once the stock closes above about $1.15 - buying pressure will increase - as technical buyers move into the stock -
