Jobs report a miss but not a complete breakdown

New York (Jun 5)  Gold's slide was stopped by a job's report that was a disappointment but not a complete breakdown, said editor Neils Christensen.

On Friday Christensen recorded a podcast with correspondent Paul Harris, Mining Audiences Manager Michael McCrae and guest Luke Alexander, CEO of Newcore Gold.

"We were expecting 645,000 and we just got over half a million--still a miss. It was a disappointment, but it wasn't the complete breakdown that we saw the other month," said Christensen.

Newcore Gold is developing its Enchi Gold Project in Ghana. Before assuming CEO of Newcore, Alexander worked in finance with stints at BMO Nesbitt Burns, National Bank and GMP Securities in London.
