June Gold Drill Results – McEwen Mining Makes the Grade

McEwen drills 2.4 metres of 776 g/t Gold at its Black Fox mine near Timmins, Ontario

eResearch | At the start of June, the price of gold slightly retreated, dropping below US$1,700/oz before closing the month above US$1780/oz. Commodities analysts remain bullish about the prospect for the gold price to rise above US$2,000/oz from the current level, but the debate continues if this will be in the near term or into 2021.

Meanwhile, gold explorers and developers continue to drill; here are some highlights for June.

  • McEwen Mining (TSX: MUX ; NYSE: MUX) had the best overall result (interval x grade) in June with the highest grade hit of the month 776 g/t Au over 2.4 metres at its Black Fox mine near Timmins, Ontario.
