2. The prospect of the loss of Iranian supply has added to concerns over the delicate balance between consumption and production in the Crude Oil market…“We think Oil market fundamentals are increasingly supportive of Crude prices, at least at current levels,” said Gordon Gray, HSBC’s global head of Oil and gas equity research…“While we aren’t explicitly forecasting Brent to rise to $100 a barrel, we see real risks of this happening. The fact that much higher supply is already needed from the likes of Saudi Arabia – and the low levels of spare capacity remaining – leave the global system highly vulnerable to any further significant outage”…

Mr. Johan Grandin reports
IMETAL RESOURCES RECEIVES DRILL PERMITS FOR GOWGANDA WEST
iMetal Resources Inc. is moving ahead with the next stage of exploration at its 105-square-kilometre Gowganda West project following the receipt of multiyear drill permits from the Ontario Ministry of Mines and Development (MNDM). The company can also now carry out planned mechanized stripping, trenching and ground-based geophysics over high-grade gold showing areas that continue intermittently for at least 2.4 kilometres along an apparent structural corridor (zones 3A, 3B and 3C).
iMetal has immediately mobilized an excavator and its exploration team is on the property, led by exploration manager Tom O’Connor.
Johan Grandin, iMetal’s president and chief executive officer, stated: “We’re extremely pleased to have finally received drill permits and that we now have the ability to carry out a broad range of programs year-round to unlock the value of this very promising grassroots project. The extent of high-grade gold and copper surface showings on a property with no previous systematic exploration, and contiguous to a significant gold deposit, has our team believing it can turn Gowganda West into an exciting new discovery story.”
Access to high-priority targets over the summer has been vastly improved by a forest cutting company working in the area. It has built a solid gravel road straight from Highway 560 from Gowganda into the first targets at zones 3A and 3B.
