Magellan Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V: MNM) is a well-financed, Canadian-based junior exploration company focused on mineral exploration and development in the state of Para in northern Brazil. The Company has interests in a number of properties in the Tapajos region which has a historic gold production estimated at 20-30Moz of gold. The Company has two advanced gold projects, Cuiu Cuiu and Coringa, a 1.7Moz gold resource, and is currently drilling with six rigs. More...

The Metals:

 

Gold waffled near unchanged in Asia and London, but it then jumped higher in New York and ended near its late session high of $1767.55 with a gain of 2.14%.  Silver rose to as high as $34.859 and ended with a gain of 1.56%.

 

Euro gold climbed to about €1277, platinum rose $43.25 to $1635.75, and copper gained a few cents to about $3.59.

 

Gold and silver equities rose about 3% by midafternoon and remained near that level for the rest of the day.

The Markets:

 

Charts Courtesy of http://finance.yahoo.com/

 

Oil rose and the U.S. dollar index fell as the euro climbed higher on reports that Greece has abandoned plans to hold a referendum on the bailout package that the country agreed to last week.

 

Treasuries fell as the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P rose on relief over Europe.

 

Among the big names making news in the market today were Freddie Mac, BNP, Kodak, Jefferies, and Google.

 

The Commentary:

 

The lower interest rate environment (the ECB cut rates and the Reserve Bank of Australia did likewise) is proving to be a boon for gold. That is helping pull silver higher even as it waffles back and forth between risk on and risk off trades. The end result is that a fairly good stream of buying is coming into the gold shares, many of which remain undervalued in the eyes of prospective buyers.

The gains in the mining sector are outpacing the gains in the broader equity markets while on downside trips they are holding better. It would be a pleasant change if there were a growing group of investors who were viewing gold and silver shares as defensive holdings in the current economic climate.- Dan Norcini, More at http://www.traderdannorcini.blogspot.com/
