New York spot gold rose $65.60 by Thursday afternoon, pausing at $4,170.10. The TSX Venture Exchange regained 16.05 points to 846.38 while the TSX gold index added 33.25 points to 877.26. Most precious metals miners poked their noses higher today, but not Trekor Metals Ltd. (TKO), which dropped 18 cents to $11.47 on 3.29 million shares. Those with silent gains included Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (AEM), up $14.34 to $266.18 on 1.2 million shares, and DPM Metals Inc. (DPM), which added $3.08 to $59.96 on 2.68 million shares.

The cheerleading anchored the company's spiel regarding a 30-per-cent increase in quarterly production, but investors were perhaps wanting all the steps to have been completed -- they sent Jaguar down early. It bounced back late, adding three cents to $6.41 on 528,000 shares.
