- Mineral property exploration company StraightUp Resources enters 2022 with a new CEO, the tailwind from a new OTCQB Market listing, DTC Eligibility, and encouraging reports on its properties and neighboring properties owned by other companies
- As Americans shift their focus from COVID policies to inflationary pressures and other economic matters, many investors are mulling the appeal of precious metals as a safe haven
- StraightUp holds a mine in the historically productive Bullfrog mining district in Southern Nevada
- The company also holds options for five potentially productive greenbelt sites in Ontario, which the company is assessing
As Americans weary of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions and worry more about the economy and inflations’ effects on their personal finances (https://nnw.fm/jPazc), many investors are considering a move toward precious metals as a safe haven (https://nnw.fm/9Fovm).
Despite recent negative perceptions about gold values, “The December-January period is historically very strong for bullion, which has gained in 8 out of the last 10 Januaries,” a senior investment analyst at brokerage XM recently stated (https://nnw.fm/wr6pu).
StraightUp Resources (CSE: ST) (OTCQB: STUPF), a company dedicated to acquiring and exploring precious metals resources, is optimistic about the potential of the precious metals market in light of the uncertainty in economic forces at play in the world today.
The Canadian company is focusing most of its attention on five projects it has optioned in Ontario’s greenbelt region. The Ferdinand, RLX North and RLX South, Belanger and Bear Head Gold projects sit astride 21,087 hectares (52,107 acres) of potential productivity in a zone already known for gold output topping 30 million ounces.
Airborne magnetic surveys (“MAG”) have been completed on three of StraightUp’s properties, and some ground exploration has begun.
The company is also enthused about a United States mine property acquired last year in the historically gold-productive Bullfrog region around Beatty, Nev. — particularly in light of news that South African gold major AngloGold Ashanti has upped its investment in the premier mining jurisdiction by buying out Corvus Gold’s shares in order to acquire other Bullfrog region properties (https://nnw.fm/KBbKf).
StraightUp Resources is similarly encouraged by the potential for stockholder optimism after Kinross Gold Corp. announced last month a definitive agreement with Great Bear Resources Ltd. to buy the company and its holdings, including Red Lake District property neighboring StraightUp’s Ferdinand Gold Project in Ontario (https://nnw.fm/CsZRs).
The company’s international aspirations also led it to contemplate the potential acquisition a silver mine and processing plant in Peru through a right of exclusivity agreement (“ROE”) for all outstanding shares in Premier Silver Corp. that the company announced in October.
The ROE had an expiration date in late December if it was not fulfilled, however, and StraightUp ended the year without completing any new acquisitions or business relationships that had not been previously announced, according to a recent monthly progress report (erroneously dated 2021) (https://nnw.fm/DI6xC).
In order to build on the company’s potential going into 2022, experienced entrepreneur and economic geologist Rod Husband was named the company’s new CEO in December while former CEO Mark Brezer tightened his focus on his duties as president and director (https://nnw.fm/lL2oS).
“We are excited to have Mr. Husband’s calibre of leadership and operational experience on board, especially during this phase of the Company’s growth and expansion into international markets. This appointment strengthens management and brings a new layer of expertise to the team,” Brezer stated in the announcement.
The company upgraded to the OTCQB Venture Market in the United States to improve its access to investors, and on Jan. 10 announced a non-brokered private placement to raise additional funding (https://nnw.fm/LlZmo).
