NIA's Top 2 Rules for Gold Exploration Industry

NIA's #1 most important rule for the gold exploration industry is: The larger a gold resource, the better a company's odds of success, because for one of the largest gold miners like Newmont (NEM), Barrick (GOLD), Agnico Eagle (AEM), or AngloGold Ashanti (AU) to be interested in developing a standalone project it must have 5 million+ oz of gold resources or it won't even be on their radar as something worth considering. Snowline Gold (TSXV: SGD) has gained over 1,000% over the last few years to a market cap of $957 million because it has established an Indicated Mineral Resource of 4.05 million oz gold grading 1.66 g/t Au and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 3.26 million oz gold grading 1.25 g/t Au. Goldshore Resources (TSXV: GSHR) has established an Indicated Mineral Resource of 1.54 million oz gold grading 1.23 g/t Au and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 5.2 million oz gold grading 1.11 g/t Au and has hired G-Mining to conduct a PEA!

NIA's #2 most important rule for the gold exploration industry is: If you don't have 5 million+ oz of gold resources, the only thing equally good is having a gold resource in the middle of a massive 10-20 million oz gold district being rapidly consolidated by one of the largest gold miners. Augusta Gold (TSX: G)'s fully permitted Reward Gold Project in Nevada has a Proven & Probable Mineral Reserve of 370,000 oz gold grading 0.86 g/t Au. Augusta Gold (TSX: G)'s past producing Bullfrog Gold Project in Nevada has a Measured & Indicated Mineral Resource of 1,209,290 oz gold grading 0.53 g/t Au and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 257,900 oz gold grading 0.48 g/t Au. AngloGold Ashanti (AU) at its directly adjacent North Bullfrog Gold Project in Nevada has a Proven & Probable Mineral Reserve of 1 million oz gold grading 0.43 g/t Au. AngloGold Ashanti (AU) at its directly adjacent North Bullfrog, Silicon, Merlin, Mother Lode, and Sterling Gold Projects in Nevada has a Measured & Indicated Mineral Resource of 5.37 million oz gold grading 0.75 g/t Au and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 11.21 million oz gold grading 0.89 g/t Au. By AngloGold Ashanti (AU) acquiring Augusta Gold (TSX: G) before year-end it will increase its Nevada gold reserves by 37% while increasing its Nevada measured & indicated gold resources by 22.51%. Even if AngloGold Ashanti (AU) has to pay $5 per share in cash to acquire Augusta Gold (TSX: G) it will be well worth every penny because they will establish a total Nevada gold reserve/resource of 19.5 million oz all in the same district!
