Palladium and palladium stocks had a wonderful run lately. I started long positions in four palladium stocks:
New Age Metals Inc. (CVE: NAM) at 7 cents, Canadian Palladium Resources Inc. (CNSX: BULL) at 14 cents, Palladium One Mining Inc (CVE: PDM) at 19 cents and Generation Mining (CNSX: GENM) at 73 cents. There are several other palladium stocks that are getting the market’s attention, I’ll share in another post.
In this post, I have listed some mining stocks that had good announcements either in terms of great drill results or funding over the first two weeks of 2020. I was going to post it last weekend but still, it’s not too late.

Titan Mining Corporation
Titan Mining Corporation (TSX: TI), Jan. 14, 2020, announced drill results of two new zones of near-surface mineralization at the company’s
100%-owned Empire State Mine (ESM) in upstate New York. ESM is a group of zinc mines that started production in the early 1900s. Titan is built for growth, focused on value and committed to excellence. The definition drilling of these potential new open-pit mill feed zones is a key goal of the Company’s strategy of filling over 3,000 tonnes per day of excess capacity at the ESM mill in an effort to dramatically increase production and lower costs.
Highlights
- Discovery of Turnpike zone, located within easy transport distance approximately one mile to the south of the ESM milling complex, with Hole SX19-2483 returning 80.0 feet assaying 5.8% zinc, 2.8% lead, and 28.2 g/t silver, including 15.0 feet assaying 17.1% zinc, 7.8% lead, and 79 g/t silver.
- The Hoist House zone is located approximately one mile south of the ESM mill, drill results include hole SX19-2484 returning 20.0 feet assaying 7.3% zinc, 0.9% lead and 11.7 g/t silver, and 31.0 feet assaying 4.2% zinc, 0.5% lead and 10.3 g/t silver.
- Together with the near-surface extension of the #2D (see November 14, 2018 press release), these zones represent potential sources of low-cost open-pit mining feed within mining claims, which could allow for near-term development.

The Company is focused on its recently acquired, 100% controlled Silver Cloud property, a low-sulphidation epithermal gold & silver project located along on the established Northern Nevada Rift gold trend in north-central Nevada.
Blackrock Gold Corp., on January 6, 2020, released partial assay results on its Silver Cloud project.
- Five HQ core holes were drilled at Silver Cloud totaling 2,207 meters (7,240 feet). Partial assay results are received for SBC19-001, SBC19-002, and SBC19-003. Drilling focused on evaluating a potential east-west vein system between the Silver Cloud mercury mine and Northwest Canyon;
- Drilling confirms the existence of an east-west low-sulfidation epithermal quartz veining system and potential for vein hosted gold and silver as well as mineralized rhyolite porphyry intrusives;
- SBC19-001, adjacent to the Silver Cloud mine, intersected 0.7 meters grading 3.95 g/t Au starting at 290 meters (951 feet). This drillhole followed up on historic Teck drilling from 2000;
- SBC19-002, drilled in Northwest Canyon (1,550 metres west of the Silver Cloud mine), intersected a 1.5-metre vein zone grading 8.32 g/t Au starting at 263 meters (864 feet). This drillhole followed up on historic Placer Dome drilling from 2002;
