I dont think it is due to bad news leaked out.
Take a look on other first class gold equities that got hammered the last days: Silvercrest svl.v, Lydian lyd.to and especially pretium pvg.to; total sell-offs.
hopefullly this is the capitulation phase: sentiment is very low, confirmed especially by the sentiment on this Probe board, which has been the light of positivity, and cracks are even to be seen here.
I am not a seller, will hang on to my probe shares.
