''Bears have been dominant in gold markets in recent weeks as US dollar strength has consolidated'', Mining Capital's Alastair Ford tells Proactive Investors.

Towards the end of February it traded as high as US$1,360 an ounce, making those miners who modelled production plans at US$1,250 look conservatives.

Now, though, those models are starting to look less secure, as the gold price pushes down towards US$1,280, and with plenty of reason to suppose it could go lower still.

Ford also discusses Arc Minerals Ltd's (LON:ARCM) move this week to acquire a controlling stake in Zamsort Ltd.

Plus he gives a quick mention of Meteoric Resources NL (ASX:MEI) and their plans to advance their cobalt assets in Canada.
