Samuel Pelaez, the Company's President, CEO, CIO, and Director, stated: "The U.S. dollar was under pressure in August following comments of a possible lowering of interest by the Fed. Commodities themselves were flat, with the exception of gold which rose to fresh all-time highs in response to U.S. dollar weakness. Gold equities drastically outperformed the commodity, as money flows into the sector accelerated. The Fall period is typically seasonally weak for the commodities sector, and at Olive we are currently investing more cautiously into the season."

Derek Macpherson, the Company's Executive Chairman, stated: "Olive continues to deliver strong investment performance, with the Companies, assets up 16% in August alone, and up 51% year-to-date. This outperformance is driven by our concentration in high conviction investments in companies, like Omai Gold Mines, Arizona Sonoran, and Aurion Resources. While overall the portfolio is weighted toward gold today, we continue to maintain a diversified portfolio and look at opportunities in all commodities, to be ready for the next leg in what we believe to be a broad commodity bull market."
