Firesteel Resources: on the best way to a short-time gold production start in Finland!
Firesteel Resources is a junior exploration company focused on the acquisition and exploration of prospective precious metal properties in Canada, the United States and in safe jurisdictions around the world.
The Company's objective is to enhance shareholder value by identifying and securing early-stage exploration opportunities and developing them to more advanced stages.
In pursuit of this goal, the Company relies on in-house and contracted resources and research to generate exploration targets. Firesteel's strategy is to minimize exploration risk by optioning properties of merit and in setting up joint venture operations on proven properties.
Firesteel currently has two primary properties: First, the the Laiva project in Finland. Firesteel has signed a heads of agreement with Nordic Mines AB to acquire 100% of the past producing Laiva gold mine near Raahe, Finland. The second one is the Star Project, which is under a joint venture agreement with Prosper Gold Corp.
The Company's management and board of directors have extensive experience in exploration, mining operations, business and corporate finance.

Market Watch:
Gold: bottom-building done, but what’s next? – Guest comment from Florian Grummes of Midas Touch Consult
As assumed in December 2017, the whole precious metals sector recovered during the last six weeks. Especially the gold price, which dashed with a barnstorming rally from US$1,236 to US$1,366, which was an absolute high since August, the 1 st 2016! On its way there, it also easily closed the open gap at US$1,345 from September 2017. On the contrary, silver drags behind, while mining stocks finally played their cutting edge off. The GDX, for example, was able to draw 18% in the meantime.
Now, the gold price seems to be heavily overbought on a daily as well as on a weekly basis, while the futures market already sends sell signals, the atmosphere is partly going to become euphoric and the seasonal window is slowly going to close itself.
As the Euro misses only one or two cents to the massive resistance zone at US$1.26 – 1.27 and the Chinese New Year’s Eve starts only in around three weeks, a continuation of the rally to a level of US$1,400 cannot be precluded. The risk-reward ratio is lousy at the current price level and the risk of a clear backlash towards US$1,300 rises daily.
When it comes to a revised correction, there should be a good buy opportunity between US$1,280 and 1,310, as the long-lasting bottom building is far progressed. A possible, sustainable breakout above US$1,365 – 1,400 could activate course aims at US$1,525 for this year and at US$1,650 in the longer term.
