The Corona Pandemic has changed a lot and brought things to light that were previously unimaginable. In connection with the curfews, most people only spent money on the most necessary purchases. As a result of this restriction, large parts of the economy came to a standstill. To bridge the problems, governments and central banks stepped in to alleviate the effects and consequences for citizens. The package of measures to stimulate the economy around the world is now estimated to be four times greater than was needed during the financial crisis in 2008 - a process with consequences. Following the financial crisis, the price of gold rose from less than USD 800.00 to over USD 1,900.00 per troy ounce. A preview of what is now to follow.

    "[...] We have built one of the largest land packages of any non-producer in the belt at over 440 sq.km and have made more than 25 gold discoveries on the property to date with 5 of these discoveries totaling about 1.1 million ounces of gold resources.

    Gold company stocks

    The ownership of physical gold in the form of bars and coins gives a feeling of security. It's something you can touch and store at home. But who really wants to store their assets without interest or dividends, but with a security risk in their own private home? An alternative would be shares in companies from the gold industry. The shares of these companies are usually managed like all other shares as special assets through a bank or broker. If one of these managers or institutions should experience difficulties, the shares can simply be transferred.

    Producers with dividends

    Stocks of gold companies that pay dividends from current production and have gold reserves are again popular with investors. Confidence in paper currencies is declining simultaneously with the increasing volume. Purchasing power is falling and inflation is rising. The European Union with its economic disparities is facing a test of strength. Whether the euro of today will continue to exist in this constellation can now be seriously doubted. When it will tear the euro apart is an open question. It is not desirable, but when it comes, people and their wealth should be prepared for it.

    Diversification around the globe

    Ideally, a portfolio should include several shares of gold companies. Diversification should therefore not end with a company from the precious metals industry, because different areas of value creation and regions around the globe have different risk/reward ratios. Well-known gold producers include Agnico Eagle Mines, B2Gold, Barrick Gold, Kinross and Yamana. These companies are already worth several billion USD and the share price usually correlates with the gold price, as the profit margin depends on the sales proceeds.

    Exploration has upside potential

    Besides gold production, there is also the area of development and exploration. The exploration sector has a high risk/reward ratio. This is where a possible success story begins or ends. Companies that are positioned in this area and have already made discoveries include Desert Gold Ventures, Osino Resources, Scottie Resources and Triumph Gold. Investors in these companies are looking for a takeover by a producer. This usually requires larger quantities of mineable gold deposits.

    Selection of Explorers

    Desert Gold Ventures has projects in Mali, in the West of Africa. With a share price of CAD 0.15 the company is valued at CAD 16 million. Osino Resources is developing into a takeover candidate with its discoveries in Namibia. With a share price of 0.98 CAD, the market value is 84 million CAD.

    Scottie Resources focuses on its areas in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia - in the western part of Canada. Scottie Resources' market value is currently CAD 22 million at a price of CAD 0.215 per share. Further north in the Canadian Yukon, Triumph Gold is exploring the company's own projects in order to further expand the discoveries made to date. The market value of Triumph Gold is currently CAD 26 million at a share price of CAD 0.24.

    What matters

    Crucial to the success of exploration companies is the quality of management and their ability to raise the necessary capital. In addition, the projects are crucial for success. It can be advantageous if the exploration companies are located with their projects close to companies that are already producing. These producers may have to replace depleted reserves with new acquisitions, in which case a takeover of a promising explorer in the region may be an option.

    The gold correction is irrelevant here: Why Desert Gold is the missing piece of the puzzle for B2Gold and Allied Gold

    The gold market is in a phase that analysts now refer to as a supercycle. With prices breaking historical records, smart capital is turning its attention to the world's most productive regions – even after the recent correction in precious metals. West Africa, and specifically the Senegal-Mali Shear Zone (SMSZ), is considered the geological heartland. This is where some of the largest and richest mines on the planet are located. But the business follows an inexorable logic: even the largest mines are emptying, and the processing plants need to be kept busy. This is true in the south of the zone for Canadian giant B2Gold with its world-class Fekola mine and in the north for Allied Gold, which is revitalizing the historic Sadiola asset. Desert Gold is considered a potential supporter of both companies. The company controls the largest non-producing land parcel in the entire region, located precisely between the two giants. This makes Desert Gold extremely interesting for investors.

    New Options for Agnico Eagle and Barrick Mining: How RZOLV Technologies Supports the Gold Industry’s Next Processing Frontier

    Gold continues to command global attention. In a period marked by economic uncertainty and geopolitical tension, demand for the metal remains strong, reinforcing its role as a store of value and a strategic asset. For gold producers, this environment highlights not only opportunity, but also the importance of operational flexibility as ore characteristics, permitting frameworks, and processing requirements evolve.

    For decades, cyanide leaching has been a reliable and indispensable foundation of the gold industry, enabling the economic development of countless deposits worldwide. Today, however, producers increasingly encounter specific ore types, jurisdictions, and operating conditions where supplementary or alternative processing approaches can add value alongside established methods. It is within these clearly defined contexts that RZOLV Technologies is positioning itself—as a technology partner to the industry, not a disruptor of proven practices.

    Taking advantage of the crash: How Newmont, Silver Viper Minerals, and First Majestic Silver are poised for the silver boom

    The sharp sell-off in precious metals on January 30 caught many investors off guard. Silver fell by as much as 34%, while gold declined by a more moderate 12%. This abrupt correction has unsettled markets, yet it may also be obscuring a significant opportunity. A structural supply deficit in silver is meeting with exploding demand from industry and technology. This imbalance forms the basis for a potentially powerful next phase in the silver cycle. Three companies appear particularly well-positioned to benefit from this dynamic: Newmont, Silver Viper Minerals, and First Majestic Silver. We take a closer look at their strategies.
