New York spot gold fell $3 Friday, sitting at $3,872 as North American stock markets closed for the week. The TSX Venture Exchange dropped four points to 798, while the TSX gold index lost two points to 836. Most precious metals miners moved little today, but there were a few making more adventurous treks. Jaguar Mining Inc. (JAG) lost 52 cents to $4.57 on 920,000 shares following word yesterday of "67-per-cent growth in adjusted net income" during its third quarter. DPM Metals Inc. (DPM) fell $1.82 to $48.74 on 2.09 million shares in silence, while Aya Gold & Silver Inc. (AYA) added 10 cents to $32.58 on 1.22 million shares.

Paul Andre Huet's Americas Gold and Silver Corp. (USA) fell 43 cents to $3.55 on 5.67 million shares on "record quarterly silver production driven by strong operational results" at its Cosala mine in Mexico. Americas expects to hit the low end of its production guidance and the high end of its cost forecast. Three months ago, there was no mention of where the performance would fall within the ranges, only that the company was "firmly on track" to achieve between 3.2 million and 3.6 million ounces of silver production at an all-in sustaining cost of between $30 (U.S.) and $35 (U.S.) per ounce.
