Gold in Mexico by Starcore? Gold has historically been an excellent hedge against inflation, because its price tends to rise when the cost of living increases. Over the past 50 years investors have seen gold prices soar and the stock market plunge during high-inflation years. This is because when fiat currency loses its purchasing power to inflation, gold tends to be priced in those currency units and thus tends to arise along with everything else. Moreover, gold is seen as a good store of value so people may be encouraged to buy gold when they believe that their local currency is losing value.
Gold is a precious metal and we all know that. As we have mentioned earlier, gold holds a special place in any Indian household and is considered a wealth of the family, for example, the gold jewels are passed on from one generation to the other as a legacy and a symbol of family wealth. Have you ever tried to invest in real estate or tried to make any financial investment? If yes, then you must know that buying gold is much easier than real estate or anything else. It is safe for the people who are trying to start doing investments as very less risk is involved with the gold purchase.
Molybdenite was discovered on the property in 1965 by Newmont Mining Corp. (Newmont). Between 1965 and 1967 Newmont completed limited mapping, sampling, trenching and drilled 26 holes totalling 8100 m (26,578 feet) in length. From 1967 to 1990 minor exploration consisting of thin section and alteration studies and limited drill core sampling was completed. Starcore acquired the property through acquisition of Creston Moly from Bankruptcy in 2015. Exploration at Ajax was concentrated in two drilling programs completed by Newmont Mines in 1967-68 (26 holes-8100.9 metres) and Tenajon Resources Corp 2005-2007 (22 holes-7258.6 metres). Following the 2007 an updated resource calculation was completed by Giroux Consultants the results of which are summarized below. Read extra info at gold producer.
The San Martin project is located 50 km east of the City of Querétaro in Querétaro State, and about 250km northwest of Mexico City. The city of Queretaro boasts a population of over 1 million people and is one of the safest states in Mexico. Major companies such as Bombardier Aerospace, Safran, Eurocopter, and Canada’s Héroux-Dvetek all have operations in Queretaro. In 1982, the area of San Martin was declared a National Reserve; however, by 1986, Luismin (previous owner) had reached an agreement to conduct exploration/exploitation in the area. Mining began in 1993 at 300 tpd and the production increased on a yearly basis to the present rate of 747 tpd with the capacity of 900 tpd.
