DOWNEY AND OREZONE TEAM GOT YOU TO THE GAP AND NOW YOU GET FULL PRODUCTION!

Investors should be watching closely (and buying) Orezone Gold. 

We note in particular that the recovery rates are better than expected and the mill is working extremely well. 

This is quite important, in our view. 

Also, pay attention to all the infill drilling that was done that has yet to be added to the resources.  

We would not be surprised to see additions to this remarkable management team as they continue to impress and grow. 

In addition, are you watching what’s happening with gold and other precious metals? They’re SOARING thanks to the latest news out of Federal Reserve Chairman Jay Powell. 

In a speech at the Brookings Institution in Washington yesterday, Powell strongly hinted he’s ready to “downshift” to smaller interest rate hikes. That could happen as soon as the next Fed meeting scheduled for Dec. 13 and 14.

The market reaction was swift and severe. The US dollar tanked, while gold, silver, and mining shares surged. In the early going today, gold is up ANOTHER $56 an ounce, while silver is up another 5% (after rising more than 4% yesterday).

If you’ve been in this business as long as we have, then you know you have to strike when the iron is hot, and the duck is quacking.
