    Chances of share price explosion

    The chart of the Canadian oil producer Saturn Oil & Gas is on the verge of breaking out, and this would be fundamentally justified. On the one hand, the Company is profiting from the resurgent oil price. On the other hand, the team around the experienced CEO John Jeffrey is continuously strengthened with top-class people who can master the aggressive acquisition strategy that has been issued. Jean-Pierre Colin, a manager who has advised not only high-ranking politicians but also completed several billion-dollar deals in his 40-year career, has now been brought on board as the top strategy consultant. Colin sold his Eleonor project to Goldcorp Inc. for more than CAD 1 billion, today known as Newmont Corporation.

    When comes the boost?

    For a long time, the share price of the Calgary-based Company floated in a range between CAD 0.08 and CAD 0.10. With the recent commitment from Colin, a clear turnover with rising prices comes into the share. According to market observers, major acquisitions should be pending soon. If these are announced, the short-sellers are likely to get cold feet. A vital mark at the moment is CAD 0.12.

    Use Reset

    Following the decision in the US elections and the announcement that a vaccine against the coronavirus may soon be available, the safe havens of gold and silver corrected sharply. However, the problems of enormous government debt and uncertainties are likely to persist. For investors, there is an opportunity to invest in cheap mining stocks. The Canadian exploration Company Silver Viper Minerals Corp. has also been hit hard. After peaking at around CAD 0.85, there has been a significant correction of no less than 50% since September.

    Fundamentals on target

    Silver Viper Minerals Corp. is a Canadian-based junior explorer focused on precious metals in Sonora, Mexico. The Company currently operates its La Virginia gold-silver project, formerly owned by Pan American Silver Corp. Drilling at La Virginia has identified a gold-silver vein up to 20 metres in diameter. Assessing the underground trend is part of this years drilling program. Positive outlier results from the drilling of 22.6 g/t gold and 1,431 g/t silver were the most significant.

    Fresh money provides flexibility

    In connection with a financing round from 2019, Silver Viper is now able to generate a further inflow of funds of around CAD 2.8 million. The financing included an early conversion right of the warrants as soon as the share price trades at an average of at least CAD 0.70 for ten consecutive days. This was achieved in September. CEO Steve Cope intends to use the new money to test other drill-ready anomalies, in addition to existing projects, that the Company has identified on the surface during the sampling program. The Chairman anticipates further momentum that could further increase the value of the Company this year.

    In the shadow of BioNTech

    Somewhat less noticed than the competitor from Mainz is the Tübingen Company CureVac. The share remains at EUR 51.40, roughly the same level as in mid-August. The Company, financed by Dietmar Hopp, is only marginally behind the conglomerate of BioNTech and Pfizer. The go-ahead for the decisive Phase III tests is to be given this year. CureVac plans to apply for a so-called rolling approval to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in the first quarter of 2021. If all goes well, the vaccine could be available in mid-2021. Considering that there will be several vaccine suppliers, as the demand is enormous, there is still potential to catch up with the other players when evaluating CureVac.

    Gold boom as an enormous price lever for explorers like Desert Gold Ventures! In or out of Barrick and First Majestic Silver?

    In recent weeks, gold and silver prices have reached new all-time highs. Silver in particular has seen a sharp increase in volatility at these elevated price levels. US investment banks remain bullish and forecast a gold price of at least USD 4,900 by year-end. Gold continues to serve as a safe haven amid geopolitical tensions, high government debt, and declining purchasing power. In addition, strategic purchases by central banks are on the rise. Taken together, these factors create a favorable environment for precious metals and producers. Last year, the shares of mining operators such as Barrick and First Majestic outperformed precious metal prices. It is characteristic of a later phase of a bull market that investor preferences shift toward explorers such as Desert Gold. We take a closer look at three industry representatives and their potential.

    Alternative to Barrick Mining and Equinox Gold: Why Maduro's fall could drive gold prices higher and make LAURION Mineral a strategic target

    The 2026 stock market year is beginning with a geopolitical earthquake whose tectonic shifts will be felt across global commodity markets for a long time to come. The direct intervention of the United States in Venezuela and the effective removal of President Nicolás Maduro have redefined the global security architecture virtually overnight. While Washington celebrates the move as a necessary restoration of democracy in the Western Hemisphere, geopolitical rivals Beijing and Moscow are responding with sharp rhetoric and brusque diplomatic protests. Uncertainty is spreading like wildfire – from the shores of Cuba, where the regime fears for its survival, all the way to Greenland, where major powers are increasingly competing aggressively for strategic spheres of influence. With gold already rising for months amid mounting uncertainty and monetary policy concerns, investors continue to flee to the safe haven. However, while established producers such as Barrick and Equinox absorb the first wave of panic-driven inflows, strategic investors are turning their attention to the few remaining safe jurisdictions such as Canada. Here, specialized explorers like LAURION Mineral Exploration hold precisely the kind of assets that are becoming the most valuable currency in an uncertain world.

    Battery supply on a knife's edge – NEO Battery Materials becomes an established industrial partner

    The push for e-mobility and rising demand from defense applications are driving a quantum leap in battery technology. At the same time, China is increasingly putting the brakes on as an industrial partner. Beijing recently imposed export restrictions on high-performance Li-ion aggregates. This makes it a real challenge for manufacturers to equip their products with high-quality energy storage. The latest announcement from NEO Battery Materials is therefore a game-changer! Certification as an OEM supplier has been completed. NEO Battery Materials, a company that is at the beginning of industrial scaling and technical differentiation, presents itself as a specialist in silicon-based anode materials with a secured production hub in South Korea. Particularly relevant for investors: high-performance batteries are increasingly being treated as critical infrastructure in Western industrial and defense policy, meaning they are structurally tied to priority investment areas. Geopolitically motivated trade barriers must be navigated carefully. Time is of the essence.
