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.

    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.
