So why did this miner of lithium, cobalt, and gold have such a good day?
Let’s take a look.
Gold update
The Metalstech Ltd (ASX: MTC) share price exploded today. Investors appeared to react positively to an update released before market open this morning.
The company provided a drilling update from its 100%-owned Sturec gold mine in Slovakia.
Metalstech said diamond core drilling is continuing to “progress well” during the Slovakian winter. Explorers are completing a drill hole known as UGA-30 within drill chamber three. Metalstech said the drilling has targeted areas “both within and outside” the existing mineral resource boundary.
The company expects to report a “significant batch” of drill results in the future. Construction of a fourth drill chamber is also underway.
In the announcement that drove up the Metalstech share price today, the miner said:
The company is currently working with an independent consultant to model a JORC exploration target for the historic mineralisation identified outside the current Sturec Mineral Resource Estimate area, including Wolf, Katerina, Volle Henne and Vratislav where extensive historical drilling and production has occurred.
The company has also engaged Measured Group to complete a scoping study based on a high grade, low impact, bulk underground mining operation at Sturec focussing on the higher grade zones within the mineral resource estimate.
Metalstech said this scoping study is going well and earmarked for completion in April. Finally, the company provided an update on the gold price.
It said the gold price is trading above US$1,980 per ounce. The company noted multiple analysts are increasing long-term forecasts to more than US$2,000 per ounce.
