Prosper Gold Commences 10,000 Metre Diamond Drill Program at the Golden Sidewalk Project - Red Lake, ON

Prosper Gold Corp. ("Prosper Gold" or the "Company") (TSXV:PGX) is pleased to announce that the 2021 Phase 1 10,000 metre diamond drilling program has commenced at the Golden Sidewalk Project (the "Project"). Drilling will focus on the newly identified Golden Corridor target area. (f or details of the Golden Corridor see the Company's Dec. 1, 2020 news release ).

"Drills are turning for the first ever drill program at the Golden Corridor," commented Peter Bernier, CEO. "We are well financed for Phase 1 with $7 million in cash reserves and a planned $2.2 million budget. Our crews have worked hard to get to this point only 9.5 months after acquiring the Project."

Exploration Drill Targeting

Ten drill hole locations are in place with subsequent drilling to be based on initial drilling results. The first drill hole is collared 50 metres "up-ice" of till sample UC-13, which contained 882 pristine gold grains with a concentration by weight of 110.8 g/t gold. A total of 5 holes are shown on the map in this area and will consist of 50 metre and 100 metre step-outs from hole 1. The anomalous till coincides with a high priority target lineament based on geologic and geophysical interpretation data, supported by the recently received IP resistivity results. The resistivity data collected in the 2021 IP survey clearly shows that the originally interpreted lineaments continue eastward and exhibit a strong correlation with the anomalous till samples received by the Company in 2020.

The remaining initial holes will focus in the immediate area of a cluster of highly anomalous pristine gold grain-in-till samples, where a 2 nd target lineament will be tested approximately one kilometre to the southwest. The results from the initial drilling of the Golden Corridor will aid in planning of the remaining drill holes comprising the Phase 1, 10,000 metre program. Details will follow as the exploration season progresses.

About the Golden Sidewalk

The Golden Sidewalk is a district-scale gold exploration project covering over 160 square kilometres of contiguous mineral claims and mining leases (see the Company's Aug. 10, Sept. 8, and Sept. 15, 2020 news releases for details) in the western Birch-Uchi Greenstone Belt, approximately 60 km east of Red Lake, Ontario. The vehicle-accessible project straddles 12 kilometres of the Balmer Assemblage – Narrow Lake Assemblage unconformity, a regional-scale feature that has been the Red Lake exploration guide, but which has seen limited exploration in the project area. The recently identified "Golden Corridor" lies immediately north of the unconformity in the western portion of the property and is characterized as a highly prospective, greater than 5 kilometre trend of coincident favourable magnetic and resistivity lineaments supported by highly anomalous gold-in-till samples covering 3.3 by 0.5 kilometres.

Trump Win Fuels Surge in US Dollar, Gold and Silver Prices Fall

What was expected to be a highly contested election between former US President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris was anything but, with the outcome being called early on Wednesday (November 6).

The results will have wide-reaching implications for the US and global economy as Trump ran on a platform of lowering taxes, raising tariffs and sweeping immigration reforms that could see millions of people deported.

His win comes ahead of the latest Federal Open Market Committee meeting, which is scheduled to wrap up on Thursday (November 7). The central bank is widely expected to cut interest rates by 25 basis points.

Will Trump Bring Back the Gold Standard? (Updated 2024)

The gold standard hasn’t been used in the US since the 1970s, but when Donald Trump was president from 2017 to 2021 there was some speculation that he could bring it back.

Rumors that the gold standard could be reinstated during Trump’s presidency centered largely on positive comments he made about the idea. Notably, he suggested that it would be “wonderful” to bring back the gold standard, and a number of his advisors were of the same mind — Judy Shelton, John Allison and others supported the concept.

Now that Trump has won the 2024 US presidential election, some are again wondering if he will return the country to the gold standard after he takes office in January 2025. Speaking on his War Room podcast in December 2023, Steve Bannon, Trump's former chief strategist, said he believes the president elect could ditch the US Federal Reserve and bring back the gold standard in his second term in office.

More recently, the Heritage Foundation included a whole chapter on the US Federal Reserve written by a former member of Trump's 2016 transition team in its Project 2025 (a proposed blueprint for Trump's second term), and suggested a return to the gold standard. While President Trump has publicly disavowed Project 2025, its creators say he is privately supportive of the initiative.
