ST. JAMES GOLD CORP. (TSX-V: LORD) PROVIDES
COMMENTARY ON SPOT GOLD MARKET PRICE CROSSING
OVER $2,000/OZ
Vancouver, British Columbia, March 7 , 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- St. James Gold
Corp. (the “Company”) (TSXV: LORD) (OTCQB: LRDJF) (FSE: BVU3) is pleased to offer
commentary on recent developments in the gold market.
In response to the developing geopolitical factors and growing inflation concerns, Goldman Sachs
has affirmed that "the recent escalation with Russia create clear stagflationary risks to the broader
economy, driven by higher energy prices, which reinforce our conviction in higher gold prices in
coming months and our $2,150/toz (troy ounce) price target."
Spot gold traded at a high of just over $2,000 an ounce on Sunday, March 6th, 2022 as investors
reacted to Russia intensifies military strikes in Ukraine. Goldman Sachs also stated that, “Gold's
unique role as the currency of last resort will likely be apparent if restrictions on Russia's central
bank accessing its offshore reserves leave it leveraging its large domestic gold stockpiles to
continue foreign trade, most likely with China”.
With the escalation of spot gold prices since the beginning of the year and currently pushing US
$2,000 per oz, interest in the gold market has been gaining momentum. Increased uncertainty in
the war in Ukraine and the potential for a drawn-out conflict has reaffirmed gold’s historical place
as a hedge for investors. When combined with the decline of cryptocurrencies in recent months,
gold is well position ed to increase its visibility for investors seeking diversification and safe
havens. For the largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, its year -to-date performance is negative, and off
36.1%+ from its November 8, 2021 peak.
As stated by George Drazenovic, CEO, St. James Gold, "The future for gold looks very bright.
With our advanced property and flagship Florin Gold Project in the Yukon Territory, we are well
positioned to take advantage of the improving gold market. We are encouraged that valuations for
junior resource companies will improve as media interest and bullish sentiments strengthen. The
escalated spot price of gold is an important factor for junior gold exploration companies seeking
financings, and we in particular look forward to building on the general market sentiment with
many upcoming catalysts.”
