New York spot gold added $43.40 Friday, ending the day at $4,538.30. The TSX Venture Exchange added 4.65 points to 1,012 while the TSX gold index rose 21.78 points to 880.22. Many precious metals miners strayed little from yesterday, although a few were more rambunctious. Equinox Gold Corp. (EQX) leapt $1.44 to $18.80 on 70.16 million shares in silence today, while China Gold International Resources Corp. (CGG) dropped 48 cents to $26.90 on 193,000 shares. This was China Gold's third consecutive decline: The fall began when the company said it had "experienced a localized slope instability event" -- a textbook case of not-to-worry bafflegab -- at its CHS mine nearly a week earlier.

Luis Santana's Goldquest Mining Corp. (GQC) had a great day, jumping 17 cents to 73 cents on 4.12 million shares. The move followed word late yesterday that the company's follow-up hole to a recent discovery at Cachimbo, in the Dominican Republic, has extended known mineralization with a 12.15-metre intercept grading 8.6 grams of gold and 128.2 grams of silver per tonne plus 0.77 per cent copper and 11.21 per cent zinc -- an equivalent gold grade of 14.14 grams per tonne. There were higher-grade subintervals, most notably a 3.35-metre midsection that graded 24.38 grams of gold equivalent per tonne.
