Who would have thought that a report on a Covid-19 vaccine from Russia would bring a breather to the gold rally? Within 24 hours, the price of the precious metal slipped through the USD 2,000.00 and USD 1,900.00 markers, recording a loss in value of around USD 150.00 per troy ounce. Currently the price is trading at USD 1,880.00 and the correction is the largest since March 2020, when the panic about the spread of the Corona virus was at its highest. Gold's rise has already begun in May 2019 at below USD 1,300.00 and the current trend may offer an excellent entry opportunity.

    BARRICK GOLD CORPORATION - Gold is running out

    Barrick is one of the largest gold producers in the world and has mines around the globe. The company has benefited considerably from the price increase of gold since last year, as it has significantly increased the margins for the precious metal. Efforts are therefore being made to increase production or run at maximum capacity in order to generate high profits. Each gram of gold can be mined and sold only once and this fact is a challenge for the company as well as for the other producers.

    The industry expects gold production to peak in 2020. Around 118 million ounces of fresh gold will reach the market and from then on the quantity will go down. In 2029, only about 65 million ounces of gold are expected to reach the market. The reserves of the largest producers have already decreased by more than 34% since 2012. In addition, it takes longer and longer for a new discovery to go into production. In 2000, the development time was only ten years. Experts now expect that it can take up to 30 years before a new discovery receives all the necessary permits for mining and meets the necessary requirements. To save time, producers usually acquire other companies in the supply chain.

    SCOTTIE RESOURCES CORP - Focus on the Golden Triangle

    Scottie Resources is focused on the exploration of its own projects in British Columbia. The company owns, among other projects, a mine that has produced gold in the past. Scottie's properties are located in the so-called 'Golden Triangle', a region known for its precious metal deposits. The company has already attracted the attention of Canadian commodity investor Eric Sprott, who joined the company at the beginning of the year and has since held almost 10% of the shares.

    Scottie's strategy is to define the amount of gold already proven and add new discoveries. With this in mind, the company will seek to increase the value of the company through drilling programs. Typically, explorers of this type are acquired by larger neighbors or a large producer uses a take-over to enter a new region. Meanwhile, CEO Brad Rourke is busy making the bride pretty.

    TRIUMPH GOLD CORP - expanding the Yukon deposits

    Triumph Gold is focused on the exploration and development of its own properties in Yukon, Canada. The company has a proven track record of numerous discoveries and is working to expand the data on the amount of the deposits through additional drilling programs. As the largest shareholder, producer Newmont is already on board and it stands to reason that a take-over bid for Triumph Gold's shareholders will be made once a critical quantity of gold has been proven.

    Triumph Gold's Freegold Mountain Project was acquired in 2006 and since then 20 zones of mineralization have been discovered. A particular advantage of this 200 square kilometre area is that it has a year-round passable road, which ensures access. This logistical advantage does not increase the cost of drilling and the teams have a road access to the project. Further news from the company on the planned drilling program is expected in the coming months.

    Gold boom as an enormous price lever for explorers like Desert Gold Ventures! In or out of Barrick and First Majestic Silver?

    In recent weeks, gold and silver prices have reached new all-time highs. Silver in particular has seen a sharp increase in volatility at these elevated price levels. US investment banks remain bullish and forecast a gold price of at least USD 4,900 by year-end. Gold continues to serve as a safe haven amid geopolitical tensions, high government debt, and declining purchasing power. In addition, strategic purchases by central banks are on the rise. Taken together, these factors create a favorable environment for precious metals and producers. Last year, the shares of mining operators such as Barrick and First Majestic outperformed precious metal prices. It is characteristic of a later phase of a bull market that investor preferences shift toward explorers such as Desert Gold. We take a closer look at three industry representatives and their potential.

    Gold rush without toxins: Why Newmont and Equinox are under pressure, and RZOLV Technologies could become the key stock of the new super cycle

    Gold is back on the big stage. Driven by geopolitical hot spots, structural weakness in the US dollar, and the insatiable appetite of central banks, the precious metal is racing from one all-time high to the next. But while prices are rising, the situation for mine operators is deteriorating: dependence on highly toxic cyanide is becoming more and more of a problem. Environmental regulations are becoming stricter, approval procedures are dragging on for decades, and social resistance is blocking billion-dollar projects. The technology company RZOLV Technologies is positioning itself in this area of tension between record prices and ecological dead ends. While industry giants such as Newmont and Equinox Gold are looking for ways to secure their production in a sustainable manner, RZOLV is providing the long-awaited technological answer: gold extraction that does not require any toxic chemicals and thus has the potential to reshuffle the cards in global mining.

    Nordex shares unstoppable! Sell Hensoldt? Gold gem Kobo Resources with takeover speculation!

    Nordex shares continue their strong momentum in 2026, rising nearly 10% in just a few trading days. Investors are responding to the wind turbine manufacturer's strong year-end performance with heavy buying, prompting analysts to raise their price targets. In contrast, sentiment on Hensoldt is more cautious. Analysts recommend selling, citing a lack of fundamental support for the recent price gains and warning of rising competitive pressures. Meanwhile, gold has shrugged off recent selling pressure and is marching back toward USD 4,500. Gold explorer Kobo Resources stands to benefit from this trend. In a recent interview, the CEO expressed optimism and even mentioned the possibility of a takeover. The question for investors: Is now the right time to buy?
