Golden Arrow signs option deal for Argentinian copper-gold project
The agreement marks Golden Arrow's third project to be optioned in Argentina.
As per the definitive option terms, Latin Metals can earn a 75% interest in Huachi over four years.
This requires $1m (C$1.37m) in exploration expenditure and $1m in cash payments to Golden Arrow.
Upon securing a 75% interest, Latin Metals has a 90-day top-up right allowing for the acquisition of the remaining 25% for a $2m cash payment.
The payment must be made to Golden Arrow within the specified period. If Latin Metals declines the top-up right, a joint venture will be formed in which Latin Metals will hold 75% stake, with Golden Arrow retaining a 25% interest.
Both parties will fund future expenditure based on their shares. Should a party's interest fall below 15%, it converts to a 1% net smelter return (NSR) royalty.
Future funding will be proportional to each party's stake. This ensures continued collaboration on the Huachi project.
Exploration work and cash payments will begin after environmental permit approval. The permit will authorise drilling and other exploration activities.
Huachi spans 3,500 hectares (ha) and is prospective for copper and gold. It forms part of Golden Arrow's 120,000ha portfolio in Argentina.
Located in San Juan Province, the Huachi property is adjacent to Latin Metals' Esperanza copper-gold project.
Golden Arrow president and CEO Nikolaos Cacos said: 'This agreement marks the third strategic option agreement we have signed in recent years as part of our efforts to advance our non-core assets.
'Success on any of these projects is good for Golden Arrow and our shareholders. Huachi now joins our Mogote Copper-Gold project that is under option to Mogotes Metals as part of their Filo Sur project, and our Caballos Copper-Gold project that is under option to Hanaq Argentina.'

Inflation Data Keeps Gold Steady as Fed Rate Cut Bets Hold
Happy Friday, traders. Welcome to our weekly market wrap, where we take a look back at these last five trading days with a focus on the market news, economic data, and headlines that had the most impact on gold prices and other key correlated assets—and may continue to in the future. Here's what you need to know: Gold hovered near $3335/oz as markets priced in a likely Fed rate cut this fall. July's CPI came in slightly below expectations, keeping optimism for easing alive. PPI surprised to the upside at +0.9%, but markets shrugged off inflation fears—so far. All eyes now turn to Powell's Jackson Hole speech for clues on upcoming policy moves. So, What Kind of a Week Has it Been? Price inflation in the US economy was the dominant theme for the markets in general this week, and for gold trading, it has been no exception. With investors, traders, and money managers across the globe primed for the Federal Reserve to just about finally announce the first (of 2-3 projected) interest rate cut of 2025, updated inflation reporting draws a great deal of focus this week. Following on from a deeply disappointing July Jobs Report—which signaled the US economy may be faltering under the pressure of higher interest rates and accordingly tight financial conditions—markets and Fed watchers across the world were looking for inflation pressures to appear mild (if not moderating) enough to further encourage the FOMC to lower policy rates and widen the flow of money. Inflation Reports Send Mixed Signals Markets would certainly have preferred to see US inflation come in cooler than expected, or at least lower than the previous month's pace this week, to make a strong argument for the FOMC to judge conditions as ready for a rate cut. Neither Tuesday's Consumer Price Index nor Thursday's Producer Price Index delivered on that hope, but at the same time, neither blew up that optimistic projection entirely. (In fact, risk appetite seems to be up on net at the end of the week.) July's CPI numbers were the most accommodating—helpful, given it's the data set that draws the greater attention by far. While 'core inflation' crept higher on both a monthly and annualized basis, traders were comfortable assessing it as within normal range and not a signal of re-heating price pressures. The headline inflation rate came in slightly below expectations. Although the numbers were far from what we would assume could get the Fed to rush to lower rates, the central bank has implied that the call to hold off is based on a risk of inflation climbing again later—after the full suite of Trump Tariffs really take effect—and not a great level of discomfort with where inflation is currently (roughly +3% YoY). PPI Surprise Fails to Derail Fed Cut Hopes The Producer Price Index output for the same month, printed on Thursday morning, was less supportive of projecting interest rate cuts. The headline number showed PPI—the cost of raw materials used to produce goods—coming well above expectations at a month-over-month rate of +0.9%. The implication here, presumably, is that producers are already facing higher prices as firms around the world attempt to protect themselves from headlines created by the US's broad and severe application of tariffs. Although this should imply a considerable risk of higher consumer inflation in the medium term once producers pass these higher prices on to consumers, the report has mostly been met with a shrug across US trading. Perhaps the view is that this projection risks the opportunity for the Fed to cut rates again in early 2026, but not their appetite to lower rates to levels projected for the end of this year. Gold Market Reaction: Steady Support, No Breakout We have seen both of these reactions borne out in the gold spot market this week. After the yellow metal shed some value at the start of the week, falling to $3330/oz in early Tuesday trading as investors shifted ahead of the CPI release, support has been consistent at that level, with gold still finding eager buyers. At the same time, there has been no notable attempt to push the precious metal's price back towards $3400. Trading on Tuesday held gold relatively flat, implying that July CPI makes the case for a cut by the end of September, yes—but that this projection is fully priced in. The immediate market reaction to the upside surprise in producer prices was generally tepid as well, suggesting that investors don't expect the data set to scuttle expectations for at least one Q3 cut. As a result, gold looks set to close the week at $3335/oz in the spot market, more or less level with Tuesday's close. Looking Ahead: Jackson Hole and the Fed's Next Moves For better or worse, we don't have to get much closer to the September FOMC meeting to see if these estimations of how the Federal Reserve decision makers are digesting inflation metrics are correct. With the Kansas City Fed's annual Jackson Hole Symposium kicking off on Friday with the usual keynote address from the Chair of the Fed, we can expect Jerome Powell & Company to send meaningful signals about how they expect inflation pressures, among other key macroeconomic inputs, to influence monetary policy for the next 3 to 6 months. In the meantime, traders, I hope you can get out and safely enjoy your weekend for the next couple of days. After that, I'll see you back here next week for another market recap.

Invest in Gold American Hartford Gold: #1 Precious Metals Dealer in the Nation Priority Gold: Up to $15k in Free Silver + Zero Account Fees on Qualifying Purchase Thor Metals Group: Best Overall Gold IRA This week, Tracey is joined by Zacks Director of ETF Research, Neena Mishra, to discuss gold's breakout to new all-time highs and how investors can get in it. The gold miners have mostly reported their second quarter earnings. Most had fantastic quarters with record free cash flow and, in some cases, earnings. Should you buy an ETF which owns a basket of gold miners, or should you buy individual gold mining stocks? Should You Buy a Gold Miner ETF like GDX? For several decades the flagship gold miner ETF has been the VanEck Gold Miner ETF GDX. GDX's two largest holdings are Newmont Corp. and Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd., which are the two largest gold mining companies in the world. Combined, they make up about 26.1% of the entire ETF. Shares of GDX are up 70.9% year-to-date as many gold miners hit new highs. It has an expense ratio of 0.51%, however. That's among the highest of the gold mining ETFs for expense ratios. RING Has the Lowest Expense Ratio of the Gold Miner ETFs If you are looking for a lower expense ratio, you might want to consider iShares Gold Miner ETF RING. Its two largest holdings are also Newmont Corp. and Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd., but they make up 31.1% of the total portfolio, up from GDX's 26.1%. That makes RING more concentrated. Investors should ask themselves if they want to be that heavily weighted in just two miners. RING also trades on lower volume than GDX. If you want to just buy a few gold miners and create your own ETF, so to speak, then several gold miners have the coveted Zacks Rank of Strong Buy right now. 3 Strong Buy Gold Miners to Buy Now 1. Newmont Corp. NEM Newmont is a US-based gold miner with a market cap of $75.3 billion. It's a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), the highest of the Zacks Ranks. Newmont is expected to grow earnings by 51.4% this year. It's cheap, with a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) of just 13. A P/E under 15 usually designates value. In the second quarter, Newmont had free cash flow of $1.7 billion. It raised its share buyback program to $3 billion. Newmont also pays a dividend of $1.00 a share annually, which is yielding 1.5%. Should investors put Newmont at the top of their short lists? 2. Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. AEM Agnico Eagle Mines is a large cap Canadian gold miner with a market cap of $67.2 billion. Shares have busted out to new 5-year highs this year, gaining 68.8% year-to-date. Agnico Eagle is still attractively priced, with a forward P/E of 19.5. Agnico Eagle Mines saw record free cash flow in the second quarter of $1.305 billion. It is paying down debt with some of the cash and pays a dividend, which is yielding 1.2%. Agnico Eagle Mines is also a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). Should gold investors look to Agnico Eagle Mines if they want to own an individual gold mining stock? 3. Harmony Gold Mining Co. Ltd. HMY Harmony Gold Mining is a South African gold miner with a market cap of $9.8 billion. That makes it considerably smaller than Newmont or Agnico Eagle. Harmony Gold hasn't reported its results yet. But in June Harmony confirmed annual production and cost guidance for FY 2025. Harmony is dirt cheap. It trades with a forward P/E of just 5.4. A P/E under 10 is considered to be extremely cheap. Earnings are expected to rise 33.7% this fiscal year. Harmony is paying a dividend which is currently yielding 1.2%. Harmony Gold Mining is a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) too.
