EnWave gets foot into the door at Costco
Sensational News for EnWave! The company announced a couple of days ago, that NutraDried LLP, a 51% owned subsidiary of the Company, has secured a trial rotation of its Moon Cheese® snack product into the Midwest division of Costco Wholesale Corporation in the United States of America. This product rotation opportunity will launch a new ten-ounce package format of the all-natural cheese snack product in December 2017. This trial launch of Moon Cheese® is a significant positive development and revenue opportunity for NutraDried, but does not guarantee any long-term distribution in Costco.
That is a huge chance for EnWave, as Costco is one of the largest wholesale chains in the US.

Market Watch:
Gold price burdened by speculations on Fed-succession
The gold price is in rollercoaster mode. After a relatively harsh price decrease down to US$1,261 on October, the 6 th and a meanwhile three-week-high on October, the 16 th, it went back into reverse. There are only sparely geopolitical issues, affecting the gold price now. Therefore, the Fed action and the succession of Fed boss Janet Yellen is coming more and more into the speculators’ view. US-president Trump seems to favor well-respected economist John Taylor from Stanford university, which is known as a representative of rising interest rates. In his opinion, the US interest rates should already stand above one percent. But with respect to a positive development of the gold price, too fast and larger interest risings are poison. On the chart-technical front, the strong support at US$1,265 has to hold, otherwise a massive sale to the US$1,225-level is threatening.

Sierra Metals announces quarterly results
Sierra Metals recently reported third quarter 2017 production results featuring the highest quarter of throughput and second highest quarter of metal production to date from the Yauricocha Mine. During the third quarter of 2017, consolidated metal production decreased 8% compared to Q3 2016. The decrease in metal production was due to lower production in Mexico which was partially offset by record throughput in Peru. The temporary decline in production in Mexico was mainly due to the implementation of a new plan to improve operational performance and produce profitable silver ounces at Cusi and improve efficiencies at the Bolivar copper mine. Like the successful program at Yauricocha in Peru, the Company has engaged in an operation turnaround program in Mexico to modernize operations, improve production and lower costs. The company expects to see the results from this program become more apparent in the latter part of 2017 and early 2018.
