Mobilisation for Tempus’ 2021 Gold Exploration Drilling

Tempus Resources Ltd. (“Tempus Resources” or the “Company”) (ASX:TMR)(TSXV:TMRR)(OTCQB:TMRFF) is pleased to announce that mobilisation is underway for the 2021 Exploration Program at the Elizabeth Gold Project in southern BC, Canada

The Company has executed a contract with Full Force Diamond Drilling Ltd. for the provision of diamond-core drilling services at Elizabeth. The flexible contract provides for drilling of up to 12,000 cumulative linear metres. In support of the Program, road clearing and preparation of drilling pads has commenced, and a base line environmental sampling and cultural survey is being coordinated. The drill rigs and operators are expected to complete mobilisation to Elizabeth by late-May. Further information regarding the drilling for the Elizabeth Project 2021 Exploration Program is set out later in this announcement.

Tempus has also retained Precision GeoSurveys Inc. to conduct a helicopter-borne high resolution aeromagnetic and radiometric survey over the entire 115km2 Elizabeth claim block area. The data collection survey flights are planned for early June and will be flown on a 200m line spacing with 100m spacing for infill areas for a total estimated 735 line kilometres. The geophysical surveys will assist in the generation of additional greenfields gold targets and identification of structures in the Elizabeth Project area.

Tempus continues to build positive relationships with First Nations Committees associated with the Elizabeth Project. Tempus has an Exploration Agreement for the Elizabeth Project with the Xwisten (Bridge River Indian Band). Approximately 50% of the planned workforce for the 2021 Elizabeth Project exploration program comprise of members of the Xwisten community, this includes key members of the Environmental and Cultural Heritage monitoring teams for the project.

Elizabeth Gold Project – 2021 Exploration Program (drilling component)

Drilling for the 2021 Exploration Program at Elizabeth will continue and extend the exploration drilling that began in November 2020 (total 2,006 metres over 11 holes already completed) that intercepted several high-grade zones with assays of up to 186 grams per tonne gold (see announcement “Tempus Resources – Announces High-Grade Assay Results at Elizabeth Project, 8 Feb 2021″ for details).

The high-grade quartz veins encountered in the 2020 drilling at Elizabeth show close geological similarities to the Bralorne mesothermal vein system which has been mined to a depth of approximately 2,000 metres and suggests there is strong potential to extend the mineralisation down plunge from the current deepest intersections that are approximately only 200 metres below surface. Tempus is planning on drilling a minimum of 7,500 metres at Elizabeth during the 2021 Exploration Program, with the potential to increase to 12,000 metres.

The 2021 drilling will focus on three key zones: (Figure 1 and Figure 2)

  • Down plunge step-outs below the high-grade intercepts from drill-holes EZ-20-06 and EZ-20-10
  • Infill and down plunge extension of the Northern ore shoot on the SW Vein
  • Exploration of the SW Vein structure along strike to the North

Investor Education: Gold vs. US Dollar Outlook with Expert Don Hansen

Private investor Don Hansen has honed his resource sector investment approach for more than 20 years, and he shared his latest research in a conversation with the Investing News Network.

He discussed the US dollar's rise and fall as the world's reserve currency, as well as how China is shifting away from the dollar and toward gold. Hansen also went over data on the inverse relationship between the gold price and the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX), explaining how decades-long patterns show where both are heading.

"The exciting part to me is when we look at the previous data you can see that the stock market phase is about to end. It's at a very high level and it's at the end of its period," he explained during the interview.

Goldman Sachs Bullish on Commodities, Shares 2024 Price Calls for Gold and Copper

Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) is maintaining its bullish stance on commodities as they continue to enjoy strong cyclical and structural support, and as the US and Europe move closer to cutting interest rates.

The American investment bank said it sees raw materials potentially returning 15 percent in 2024.

“We find that US rate cuts in non-recessionary environments lead to higher commodity prices, with the biggest boost to metals (copper and gold in particular), followed by crude oil,” Bloomberg quotes analysts Samantha Dart and Daan Struyven as saying in a note this past Sunday (March 24). “Importantly, the positive impact on prices tends to increase with time, as the growth impulse from looser financial conditions filters through.”
