The optimism for life in normality is growing more and more with the successful test results concerning the vaccines against the coronavirus. The administration of a vaccine, which is to be available to the general public from spring 2021 onwards, should make it possible to relax increasingly in everyday life. If one reads the daily news, the pandemic seems to be contained and thus controllable within a few months. The "victims" of this development are the crisis currencies gold and silver. After their highs, both precious metals and mining stocks are initially taking a breather - but a comeback is very likely.

    "[...] We have built one of the largest land packages of any non-producer in the belt at over 440 sq.km and have made more than 25 gold discoveries on the property to date with 5 of these discoveries totaling about 1.1 million ounces of gold resources.

    Further correction likely

    How quickly a correction can be completed has been seen in the oil price in recent weeks. Since the March low at USD 18.00, the black gold has posted a performance of over 150%. We see something similar on the gold chart. The long term upward chart is still intact. Since its high in early August at USD 2,069.70, the precious yellow metal has begun a correction below the USD 1,900.00 mark which was initially regained.

    Afterwards, however, the price fell below the significant mark, also due to the positive vaccine announcement. Currently, a battle with the support at USD 1,795.00 is taking place. If this falls, we expect a rapid descent to the critical support level of USD 1,747.00. This significant level should represent the target range. From there, the next move north should start with new highs in 2021.

    Mining stocks become attractive again

    At the same time, mining stocks are correcting. Considering that the big picture in the gold market continues to be positive, exciting stocks should be added to the watchlist right now. One value that stands out is the Canadian junior exploration Company Silver Viper Minerals Corp. The Campany's value corrected from its August highs of CAD 0.85 over 50% to now CAD 0.41 in the course of the gold downturn. Fundamentally, the Company is in a strong position. In September, a financing round was successfully completed, which raised a total of CAD 2.8 million for Silver Viper.

    The descendants of Pan American Silver

    The Canadians search for precious metals in Sonora, Mexico. The Company currently operates its La Virginia gold-silver project, formerly owned by Pan American Silver Corp. Drilling at La Virginia has identified a gold-silver vein up to 20 metres in diameter. The experienced management, also due to the financial resources now available, intends to test other drill-ready anomalies that Silver Viper has identified at the surface during the sampling program in addition to the existing projects. In a press release, CEO Steve Cope also anticipates further momentum that could further enhance the value of the Company later this year.

    Other successful divisions

    BYD is hungry. The Chinese Company, which has made a name for itself primarily as an electric car manufacturer, is also pushing the expansion of other promising lines of business. Less well known is that BYD has been active in the North American energy storage market since 2011. The Tesla competitor is now reporting great successes in energy storage in the USA. A promising partnership has been agreed with Canadian Solar. BYD will provide its advanced battery technology for the 100 MWAC Mustang solar power plant in Kings County, California and will supply a 75 MW energy storage system as a retrofit to the plant.

    The system was developed by Canadian Solar, which has been connected to the power grid since 2016. With the newly developed storage system, the solar energy generated during the day can be stored for use in the evening. The "Build your dream" Company was euphoric about the project: "We are pleased to be able to supply this large-scale solar and energy storage project, which is being fully developed by Canadian Solar and integrated into our proprietary battery technology."

    Between market panic and profit: What Almonty has in common with Apple and IBM

    The war in Iran has long since become a conflagration in the Middle East, including energy price shocks. Trading on Tuesday was particularly typical of this market environment. The day perfectly reflects the psychological state of market participants. Driven by horror stories from the Middle East and concerns about a global energy crisis, many stocks experienced drastic fluctuations. But while many stocks are still under pressure, Almonty's share price revealed a pattern that experienced market participants interpret as a sign of relative strength. After initially falling sharply, the stock stabilized rapidly, pushing the price back up significantly before the close of trading. In periods of extreme uncertainty, investors are not looking for short-term speculation, but rather for companies with a unique market position, a crisis-proof margin structure, and operating potential based on irreplaceable resources. We draw historical comparisons and explain that even heavyweights such as IBM and Apple have had to weather headwinds in the past.

    Gold in the ground, cash on the way: Why Desert Gold is well positioned for the gold boom fueled by the Iran war

    When major industry players start writing billion-dollar checks to buy their way into a region, investors should take a closer look. The acquisition of Canadian producer Allied Gold by Chinese giant Zijin Mining for CAD 5.5 billion caused a stir in West Africa at the beginning of the year. But above all, it is a wake-up call for anyone still searching for the gems that the market has overlooked. In the immediate vicinity of the acquired Allied Gold concessions, in the same highly productive Senegal-Mali Shear Zone (SMSZ), lies Desert Gold with a market capitalization of around CAD 35 million. The company owns an impressive 440 sq km of exploration ground within the same highly productive structural corridor that hosts operations owned by Barrick, B2Gold, and Endeavour. Geologically, this is the Champions League. From a valuation standpoint, however, Desert Gold plays in a completely different league. This discrepancy between geological setting and market capitalization forms the core of the investment thesis.

    War in focus, silver in the portfolio: Why Newmont, Silver Viper Minerals, and First Majestic Silver are now must-own stocks

    The escalating war in Iran has suddenly catapulted precious metals into the center of investor attention. While gold, as a classic crisis hedge, has reached new heights, silver is undergoing an unprecedented revaluation. It combines the security of a precious metal with its irreplaceable role as a high-tech raw material for photovoltaics, e-mobility, and AI infrastructure. Geopolitical supply chain risks are exacerbating an already existing supply deficit, while industrial demand is reaching record levels. Investors are now wondering which companies are best positioned in this environment. We therefore take a look at the strategies of Newmont, Silver Viper Minerals, and First Majestic Silver.
