New York spot gold lost $3.20 to $4,119.40 on Friday. The TSX Venture Exchange rose 7.64 points to 905.98, while the TSX gold index dropped 5.14 points to 756.54. Orvana Minerals Corp. (ORV) was one of the strong silent types today, as it jumped 25 cents to $2.06 on 858,000 shares. Trekor Metals Ltd. (TKO) also did well, adding 40 cents to $10.31 on 1.81 million shares. Orezone Gold Corp. (ORE) was among those in retreat, as it lost five cents to $2.32 on 1.53 million shares, also in silence.

Daniel Henao's Mineros SA (MSA) rose 24 cents to $6.67 on 309,000 shares -- or perhaps it would prefer to say it ended the day at 48 milligrams of gold. Mineros, you see, gushes that it has adopted a formal strategic gold reserve policy that establishes physical gold bullion as a core treasury asset. In short, Mineros intends to keep a portion of its assets as physical gold, not those pesky dollars that are subject to the effects of "persistent inflation, sustained central bank gold purchases and continued pressure on the purchasing power of monetary assets."
