Gold Reaches Session Highs as Federal Reserve Raises Interest Rates 25bps

After the Federal Reserve kept its options open after raising interest rates by another 25 basis points on Wednesday, the gold market is maintaining strong gains.

As predicted, the Fed Funds rate was increased by the Federal Reserve to a range between 5.00% and 5.25%. However, the statement’s monetary policy statement doesn’t offer much forward direction. In this tightening cycle, the central bank has increased interest rates ten times.

The Committee will carefully watch the information coming in and evaluate its effects on monetary policy. The Committee will consider the cumulative tightening of monetary policy, the lags with which monetary policy affects economic activity and inflation, and economic and financial developments in determining the extent to which additional policy firming may be appropriate to return inflation to 2 percent over time, the central bank said.

The central bank’s decision on monetary policy initially caused the gold market to surge to session highs of $2,059 per ounce.

Historically speaking, gold has been considered a safe haven investment. Rising interest rates, on the other hand, increase bond returns and strengthen the US currency, both of which make gold more expensive for buyers outside the US. 

Advancing Precious Metal Assets in B.C.

With its high-grade gold mine in southern British Columbia, Ximen Mining Corp. (TSXV:XIM) (OTCQB:XXMMF) hopes to become the next BC gold producer, allowing it to self-finance its exploration. 

On May 9, 2023, Ximen Mining announced exploration intentions for 2023 in southern British Columbia.

Ximen is a precious and essential metals mining company with six mining project regions: Wild Horse, Quartz Mountain, Nelson, Greenwood, Brett, and Treasure Mountain.  The field projects of the Company are managed from its command base in Greenwood, British Columbia.

Wild Horse consists of 25 mineral discoveries and 156 claims totaling 13,948 hectares.  The source areas of the Wild Horse River placer gold deposit are located northeast of Fort Steele Cranbrook, British Columbia. The 86-meter mineralized zone in the two holes averaged 0.36 grams per tonne gold. The findings indicate that gold can be mined in mass. This year, Ximen intends to drill in areas where gold has been extracted from overburden samples.

Quartz Mountain is located 12.5 kilometers southwest of Kimberly, British Columbia, and includes 76 claims totaling 3,829 hectares, as well as 13 mineral discoveries.  Last year, rock and soil geochemical surveys at the Anderson pit confirmed high-tenor gold mineralization (12.2 grams per tonne gold over 1.2 meters).  Running Wolf, Rome, and Valley rock and soil geochemical surveys are planned for 2023. 

In Nelson, Ximen owns 21,476 hectares of mineral claims, including the Kenville gold mine, with 57 mineral occurrences. While developing the Kenville mine, Ximen is exploring nearby claims. Metallurgical examination of Wilcox tailings samples at Ymir, as well as field research of other occurrences, will be part of the exploratory program in 2023.  

Ximen has 57 mining claims encompassing 21,683 hectares and 56 mineral occurrences in Greenwood, including the Bud-Elk and Amelia assets, which are drillable.  Bud-Elk is looking for copper-gold skarn and porphyry that can be mined in bulk. Amelia, BC’s oldest lode gold mine, is being explored for expansion.

Brett holds 46 claims and 18 mineral discoveries on a total of 20,273 hectares. This property has discovered fresh gold zones since 1983. Ximen is developing a three-dimensional geological model and employing multivariate statistical analysis to connect pathfinder elements to various alteration and mineralization patterns. Aerial magnetic and LIDAR surveys were conducted in 2022. Surface drilling in 2023 will look for bulk-minable and bonanza-grade epithermal gold mineralization.  

The Treasure Mountain property (43 claims, 10,819 hectares) in Ximen has been optioned by New Destiny Mining Corp. In 2022, an airborne LIDAR survey was conducted over the land to detect previous workings and mineralized geological formations. Drilling and rock geochemistry for Railroad, Jim Kelly, and Rio Grande mineral finds will take place in 2023.
