B2Gold, Desert Gold, Osino Resources - Gold is becoming scarce

The price of a troy ounce of gold has been quoted at over USD 2,000.00 for some time now and has thus reached historic territory. Given that fears of a decline in the value of fiat money are encouraging people to flee to the world's oldest currency, this situation is expected to continue as long as central banks and politicians implement measures to mitigate the consequences of the Corona Pandemic. The measures taken in 2020 are likely to be ten times higher than the activities related to the financial crisis in 2008/09. The value driver for gold is the fact that it cannot be produced artificially and, in addition, by 2029, annual production volumes are estimated to have fallen by 45%, which could have an additional panic effect.

    Producer with an appetite for take-overs

    B2Gold is an established gold company that focuses on the production of the precious metal. The company is also active in Africa and operates mines in Namibia and West Africa. Against the background that a production peak of all gold companies is expected in 2020, the focus is likely to be increasingly on replenishment, i.e. the acquisition of exploration companies specialising in the discovery of new deposits. Typically, companies such as B2Gold take-over the successful explorers as soon as they have reached a critical quantity of gold. It can also be an advantage if the new discoveries are already in the vicinity of the company's own mines.

    Focused on West Africa

    Desert Gold Ventures is an exploration company with properties in West Africa. The company's properties cover more than 400 km2 and are located in the vicinity of well-known mining companies such as B2Gold, Barrick Gold and Iamgold. The management has been able to prove gold at various locations in the past. Further drilling programs are planned to collect more data on the properties to bring the gold reserves to the targeted level of up to six million ounces. After the market closed yesterday, the company announced a CAD 6.5 million capital increase to be financially prepared for the next drilling season in the fourth quarter. The company has already announced that the results of the latest drilling program will be released in a timely manner.

    Successful in Namibia

    Osino Resources is also an exploration company and focuses on the development of its own projects in Namibia. The company is led by CEO Heye Daun, who has already built up an explorer until 2012 and sold it to B2Gold. Daun knows what is important and will try to build on the historic success with Osino. In 2020 the company has already received more than CAD 30 million from investors for the exploration of the areas. According to the latest news from Osino, recent drilling has been very successful and the money is being invested in the exploration of new drill targets. The company is focused on releasing a substantial resource estimate as soon as possible.

    Evotec's Share Price Surges! Summer Rally for Desert Gold? Rheinmetall Shares Heading Toward EUR 2,000?

    Evotec's share price has skyrocketed. Following positive news from a drug discovery partnership, the stock temporarily climbed by over 9%. This continues the upward trend of recent weeks. Is there perhaps even more to come? An interesting candidate for a summer rally is Desert Gold. The company plans to begin gold production for the first time next month. Additionally, the resource is set to be expanded through a drilling program. Analysts see potential for a tenfold increase. Analysts are also optimistic about Rheinmetall. They even see the defence stock rising back above EUR 2,000. However, the sector currently lacks momentum. Most recently, the DAX-listed company reported on a milestone.

    The rally in the stock markets is impressive, but risks are mounting in the background. Despite the Nasdaq 100's record run, energy prices remain high, supply chains remain fragile, and inflationary risks are very real. In this environment, crisis preparedness is coming into focus. Monthly dividend payers offer predictable cash flows and stability, while gold and commodity stocks are gaining importance as a hedge against rising prices and supply bottlenecks. Those who reallocate their portfolios wisely now can combine current income with strategic protection against potential market setbacks.

    SpaceX is still a long way off, but gold is within reach: Lahontan Gold Advances Toward Production in Nevada

    Geopolitics is about as predictable as the weather in April: one moment, bright sunshine; the next, another storm in the Middle East. It is good when your portfolio is not left out in the rain, but is instead successfully mining in Nevada. Lahontan Gold is living proof that, even as a neighbour in the big leagues, you can shine as an agile developer. After all, the Santa Fe project scores with what is currently worth its weight in gold on the stock market: good management, planning certainty, and a dose of operational grit. For months, the stock chart has shown an almost indecent strength: a record-breaking 2,000% performance that remains unfazed by geopolitical headlines. Elon's SpaceX would have to try hard to match that! So, for those who want to invest not in utopian visions but in tangible development stories, here is a solid gold anchor with plenty of potential for the next valuation jump.
