In uncertain times, cautious investors seek a safe haven for their money. In addition to real estate, gold in particular is a popular currency for people who have the need to be able to move their assets. But it does not have to be bars and coins. As an alternative to physical gold, shares of companies in the gold industry can offer an interesting investment opportunity. However, there are some important rules to follow in the commodities industry.

    Exploration and production

    The creation of value in the gold industry begins with exploration, which means the exploration of the land. Companies like Osino Resources explore for reserves in their areas and, if successful, then follow a recognizable trend to discover as much mineable gold as possible. Typically, successful explorers seek a takeover by a producer.

    Companies that are focused on mining and selling can logically only sell their commodities once, and thus their reserves normally decrease as well. The large mining companies thus benefit in return from a takeover of an area or an entire explorer, because this way the reserves are replenished. So, explorers and producers work hand in hand.

    Experiences create security

    The CEO of Osino Resources is Heye Daun, an experienced company director who has made a company capable of being taken over in the past. As part of a transaction, B2Gold has paid around USD 180 million for a 1.9 million ounce gold resource. This transaction took place in 2012, when the gold market was already in a downturn. Heye Daun makes no secret that Osino Resources is also seeking an exit for investors through a sale. As a rule of thumb, selling prices of USD 100 million per million ounces of gold in the ground are expected.

    Sufficiently financed

    Osino Resources has already made discoveries in Namibia that have attracted the interest of investors. With a successful financing round in January 2020, the company has sufficient capital to carry out all the necessary work by March 2021, according to Heye Daun, so that resources of one to two million ounces could be proven. Osino Resources' current market capitalization is approximately CAD 70.88 million at CAD 0.85. This means that if the company is successful, there is still some upside potential for investors.

    Currency advantage in Namibia

    The advantage of Osino Resources and B2Gold, with their operating activities in Namibia, in the current market environment is, among other things, that the country's currency is the weak South African Rand (ZAR). Because all work there is invoiced in this currency, these companies have a competitive advantage over regions that, for example, have to pay their costs in USD. The large mining companies such as B2Gold and Newmont usually operate on several continents in order to avoid national or regional risks.

    Gold stocks can provide protection

    With increasing global uncertainties, the interest in gold will continue to grow. The refinancing needs of states for the costs of corona measures and the loss of tax revenues will most likely ensure that interest in gold will remain high. For gold producers, the current price level of the precious metal is very lucrative. The faster the coffers are filled, the looser the money will sit in takeovers. A circumstance that will play into the hands of the shareholders of Osino Resources.

    From Nuggets to Networks: How Lahontan Gold, Siemens, and Allianz Are Redefining the Precious Metal's Value Chain

    Gold remains in demand over the long term, but could face pressure from interest rates in the short term. Market participants are increasingly anticipating a US interest rate hike in September. While high energy prices are weighing on the market, geopolitical crises, a weak US dollar, spiraling government debt, and record-high central bank purchases are acting as strong counterbalances. Accordingly, analysts see significant upside potential for the precious metal through 2027. To maximize returns from the next medium-term upswing, investors should take a broader view of the "ecosystem". Lahontan Gold, in particular, stands out positively here. The Canadian company is consistently driving its transformation from an explorer to a gold producer in Nevada. This transformation phase for emerging commodity producers typically involves numerous milestones that drive higher corporate valuation. Siemens provides the automation and digitalization needed for efficient mining, thereby covering another angle. Allianz and its industry partners provide investors with strategic access to physical gold and mining stocks through asset management. Which stock will outperform gold?

    How will investors allocate their capital in 2026 among the most important stores of value of our time? First, there is digital gold, Bitcoin, which cannot be mined indefinitely. Then there is physical gold from the earth, which has long been regarded as a safe haven and whose price, like Bitcoin's, has recently climbed significantly again. Finally, there is black gold, oil, which has once again come into focus, most recently since the Iran conflict. Investors who are thinking strategically today should not put all their eggs in one basket, but instead diversify. We take a closer look at one company from each sector: Strategy, Desert Gold, and ExxonMobil.

    When the gold price breaks through the USD 4,000-per-ounce mark, the stocks of the mining giants once again become attractive to many investors. But even the shares of the largest mining companies are not without risks. A gold mine is a dwindling resource: every ounce mined reduces reserves. While Barrick Mining and Newmont are currently generating very strong profits, they too face challenges. Securing a steady supply of new resources is becoming increasingly difficult. This is where agile exploration companies come in, targeting tomorrow's gold reserves with smart exploration methods.
