B2Gold, Barrick, Blackrock Gold - who doubles its value the fastest?

Since Warren Buffett and his investment company Berkshire Hathaway joined Barrick, investors and media have tended to change their minds about the world's oldest currency. In the past, the US star investor has made no secret of the fact that, in his opinion, the expense of gold mining and subsequent monitoring is, in a sense, insane. In the meantime, however, the oracle from Omaha seems to have come to the conclusion that there is a lot of money to be made as a producer at the current price level and that demand for the precious metal will remain stable in the future due to the measures taken by the central banks.

    Gold supply will decline

    The gold market is becoming increasingly important. While central banks around the world are working with politicians to maintain social peace through measures, the money supply has been increased significantly. A major advantage of gold, on the other hand, is that it cannot be printed, and in 2020 it will even reach the historic peak of production. Barrick's experts estimate that approximately 118 million ounces will be produced this year and the annual production volume will drop to below 65 million ounces by 2029. The reserves of the largest producers have already decreased by about 34% since 2012.

    Exploration provides for new supplies

    Producers such as B2Gold and Barrick can achieve a high profit margin within the current gold price. The disadvantage is, however, that each ounce can only be sold once. For this reason, these companies must continuously ensure that the amount of reserves secures future sales. In this context, exploration companies such as Blackrock Gold come into play. The company has properties in the state of Nevada and is exploring for gold deposits. As soon as a critical quantity of the precious metal can be proven, the interest of the large producers in a takeover increases.

    Financially well positioned

    Blackrock Gold has raised a total of approximately CAD 12 million in fresh money since June 2020 to explore the areas in Nevada. One of the most prominent investors is Eric Sprott, a commodities expert who invested CAD 5 million. About 100 years ago, the state was already experiencing a gold and silver hype. Due to this history, companies can still make plans today. The region around the town of Tonopah is one of the most attractive silver areas in North America.

    Successful drilling program raises expectations

    Blackrock has made several interesting discoveries during the current drilling program. Drill hole TW20-001 intersected 965 g/t silver equivalent over 29 metres and another new vein with a grade of 2,198 g/t silver equivalent over 3 metres was discovered. A total of 15,000 metres of drilling is planned in the Tonopah region to confirm 2.5 to 6.0 million tonnes of silver equivalent at a grade of 1,300 to 2,100 g/t.

    Several million ounces of gold

    Four target areas have already been identified on the Silver Cloud project, where about 3,500 meters of drilling is planned to be completed starting in September with up to 14 holes. The company believes that the area has a potential of several million ounces of gold. With a market capitalization of approximately CAD 120 million, the company still has sufficient potential with further discoveries, making it more attractive to potential investors. Barrick has now achieved a market capitalization of CAD 68 billion and B2Gold of CAD 6.8 billion.

    Globex Mining, Barrick Gold, Amazon - Gold miners and data collectors: On the hunt for valuable resources

    Gold has always been a safe haven for minimizing risk in a portfolio. The long-established exploration company Globex Mining boasts over 200 properties with various valuable metals in its portfolio. Recently, Globex acquired additional gold fields through a swap deal. Shareholders benefit from the ingenious strategy of preserving the value of the Company's shares - without dilution. The prospects for top dog Barrick Gold are also excellent. Analysts are also confident about Barrick's growth thanks to increased production and a further rise in the gold price. For Amazon and AWS, however, data is the new gold. Smart developers are the most valuable resource as an investment in the future. With a global AI tour in strategically important countries such as India, Brazil, the UK, and France, the tech giant is attracting talent and promoting developments in artificial intelligence. Who is the best hunter of these three candidates and offers the highest added value for investors?

    Next share price jump? TUI, Aixtron, and Desert Gold

    Is the Aixtron share about to make its next leap? The shock of the profit warning was digested with a rise of over 10%. Three analysts recommend the share as a "Buy". Desert Gold is also ripe for a new rally. After more than doubling in a short space of time at the beginning of the year, it consolidated textbook style. Will it soon jump to a new yearly high? The Company is certainly not expensive, and experts consider a gold price of USD 3,000 possible. Important drilling results are also on the horizon. TUI is currently performing well operationally. The summer season business is booming, and the bankruptcy of a competitor is providing additional momentum. Nevertheless, the share is trending sideways. Could the purchase of an island be the trigger?

    The stock market keeps rising and rising - this much is revealed by the ever-new highs of prominent indices such as the NASDAQ 100, S&P 500, or the Nikkei index. However, a closer look reveals some inconsistencies. For example, only 6% of all traded stocks are currently reaching new highs, while over 70% of all listed stocks have fallen since the beginning of the year. In short, global liquidity is aggregated in just a few blockbuster stocks, with the rest being left behind. Such bubbles already occurred in 1999, 2007, and 2015, followed by a 25% to 50% correction. When exactly this will happen, no one knows, but the party is likely to continue for a while due to high liquidity. Gold and silver are in the process of forming interesting breakout formations. Now is the time to pick the cherries!
