    Long-Covid share: Cardiol develops therapies for heart problems

    The shares of Cardiol Therapeutics continue the price increase of the past days since the opening on the home exchange in Toronto. At CAD 2.91, the stock is trading up 3.2%. The company focuses on the therapy of heart disease and relies on natural active ingredients from the cannabis plant. Clinical trials are expected to confirm the success.

    In recent months, reports of heart problems in athletes have increased. According to media reports, the cause of these problems is often related to a Covid-19 infection. Names such as Alphonso Davies (FC Bayern Munich), Arsenal star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Axel Méyé (IR Tangier) and Mario Lemina (OGC Nice) have had to take a break since last week due to heart problems following a Corona infection.

    The mentioned top athletes are certainly only the tip of the iceberg and the potential of Long-Covid shares is accordingly high. The experts at GBC Research recommend Cardiol's stock as a buy with a price target of CAD 17.49. Additional analysts recommend the shares. Canaccord with rating 'Buy' and Cantor Fitzgerald with 'Overweight' independently see a price target of USD 8.00 ≈ CAD 10.00.

    THE LAHONTAN GOLD FILE: HOW A GEOLOGICAL DETECTIVE TEAM IS AWAKENING NEVADA'S SLEEPING GIANTS

    There are historical criminal cases that were never truly solved. One such "cold case" is the Santa Fe Gold Mine in Nevada. For three decades, the case file lay forgotten on a shelf: too old, too small, too uninteresting—until the geological detective duo Kimberly Ann and Brian Maher of Lahontan Gold retrieved the dusty drill cores from the evidence room to reexamine the evidence. The result of their investigation: millions of ounces of gold equivalent await discovery. The Santa Fe file is currently being rewritten—and those who start reading it early enough could be among the winners.

    The Simple Path to Inflation-Protected Cash Flows: Why JPMorgan Chase and Altius Minerals Are Eyeing Globex Mining

    Persistent geopolitical uncertainty, rising inflation, and tighter lending standards by commercial banks mean that even the mining sector is no longer operating under ideal conditions. Since missing production targets can trigger significant share price declines, major commodity companies are constantly searching for new deposits. At the same time, rising development costs are making mine operations more expensive, while the US Federal Reserve is adopting a more restrictive stance in light of inflation data. In this market environment, the royalty and streaming model is gaining importance because gross revenue royalties can provide inflation-protected cash flows without direct operational risks. We present a potential beneficiary of this trend and explain how the model works.

    The recent geopolitical easing in the Middle East is sending shockwaves through the energy markets, with welcome spillover effects for the gold mining industry. Falling oil prices are lowering mining companies' production costs and boosting profit margins even before the price of gold itself reacts. While the markets are still digesting the relief brought by the peace, the fundamental conditions for the industry are noticeably improving. We take a closer look at industry leader Barrick Mining, DRC Gold as a growth story in the African Gold Belt, and Agnico Eagle with its robust asset portfolio.
