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.

    Globex Mining, Deutz, Novo Nordisk – Prices are rising!

    On the stock market, there is often a difference between price and value. Companies with strong assets and holdings, or those with business models that benefit from long-term trends, tend to deliver attractive returns for investors in the long run. All the better if such companies can be acquired at a favorable price - one that lies below the fair value of their shares.

    Gold explodes to USD 3,700 – What is next? Time to bet on Barrick Mining, Newmont, Dryden Gold and BASF

    The gold price is currently being driven primarily by expectations of falling US interest rates, a weaker US dollar, high geopolitical uncertainty, and strong purchases by central banks. The latter added around 1,045 tons of gold to their reserves in 2024, one of the highest levels in recent years. Major US investment banks have consistently raised their price targets: Goldman Sachs expects around USD 3,700 per ounce by the end of 2025, JPMorgan sees an average of about USD 3,675 in Q4, and UBS even forecasts up to USD 3,800. In very optimistic scenarios, prices of over USD 4,000 are already being discussed in industry. How are gold giants Barrick and Newmont performing in this environment? In the short term, they have been significantly outperformed by Dryden Gold, which has recently doubled in value. Investors should now drastically increase their exposure to precious metals, as they have been overinvested in AI, high tech, and defense for months. Here are a few ideas.

    Gold mining stocks in takeover fever! Barrick Mining and Newmont are selling! B2Gold neighbor Desert Gold in the crosshairs?

    • Mining
    • Gold
    • Commodities
    • Takeover

    Takeover fever is sweeping through the gold sector. The typical cycle of the industry appears to be repeating itself once again: with the rising price of gold, which remains solidly above USD 3,600, the appetite for takeovers is also growing. Gold producers are earning more, and banks and private equity firms are opening their coffers for mergers and acquisitions. For large and small mining companies alike, the current market phase offers an opportunity to expand their portfolios, optimize projects, or reposition themselves through strategic sales and purchases. Barrick and Newmont are currently raising billions through asset sales, boosting their war chests. In contrast, Desert Gold - a neighbor of B2Gold - could soon see a partner come on board or even become an acquisition target. Analysts see significant upside potential for the share.
