New York spot gold rose $17.10 Thursday, closing at $2,673.80. The TSX Venture Exchange rose 2.92 points to 594.33 while the TSX gold index rose 2.05 points to 384.92. Hudbay Minerals Inc. (HBM) was strong, as it added 90 cents to $12.70 on 9.63 million shares. So was Taseko Mines Ltd. (TKO), which added 27 cents to $3.56 on 1.55 million shares.

Kevin Brewer's CMC Metals Ltd. (CMB) closed unchanged at 2.5 cents on 485,000 shares. The company is applauding Jared Lazerson's OTC-listed North Bay Resources Inc. (NBRI) for welcoming the first 20 tonnes of ore from its Fran project at the Bishop milling facility. CMC Metals cares, as it sold North Bay a 55.5-per-cent interest in the mill in exchange for $100,000 (U.S.) in cash and $400,000 (U.S.) in stock, which worked out to 1.12 billion North Bay shares. (Like many a company listed on the Mighty Pinks, North Bay is awash in shares, with about seven billion of them outstanding at last report. North Bay added 0.035 of a U.S. cent to 0.12 U.S. cent on 159 million shares today.)
