I pointed out the double bottom in gold in one of my earlier articles, and since then, the price has risen over USD 200. Interestingly, the buy-side consists mainly of young investors up to 25 years old. According to research from several online brokers, they own 39% of gold - 3 years ago, it was only 26%. This percentage is three times higher than in the overall population. Inflows into physically deposited gold ETFs amounted to nearly 34 tons. Driven by inflation fears and political tensions, gold is enjoying a renewed revival. We take a look at three gold stocks today.

    Desert Gold - Exciting new exploration targets found

    Since the last update in mid-April, a lot has happened at Desert Gold's SMSZ project. New exploration targets and possible gold anomalies have been identified along the western concession area. Meanwhile, more than 75% of the planned exploration program has been completed. Exploration drilling is 59% complete, and auger drilling has already been over-completed at 107%, as has soil sampling at 110%.

    Drilling to the north of the Goubassi West deposit means that the gold zone is now 3km long. The newly discovered gold zone returned 8.95 grams per tonne gold in a grab sample. A total of seven new gold anomalies up to 2.4km in length have been discovered. Currently, no results are available for 9,764 samples. A second drill rig is scheduled to arrive in June to accelerate exploration.

    Approximately 170 additional air core holes are planned to be drilled over 8,500m to test the newly discovered gold anomalies further. The planned drill meters may be increased as more drill sample results are received. In parallel, the Company is working on the 43-101 report, which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter. So things are moving forward, but the share has still not managed to break out of the sideways range of EUR 0.09 to 0.12. One should have this value on the watchlist and follow the news.

    Endeavour Mining - Cheaper than the big miners

    Endeavor Mining is the largest gold producer in West Africa with producing mines in Senegal, Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso and a strong portfolio of advanced development projects and exploration facilities in the Birimian Greenstone Belt. The Canadian Company has cleaned up its portfolio and is focusing on larger mines with lower costs. Currently, production can be had for USD 868 per ounce.

    The Agbaou mine was sold, and the Terenga Gold Corporation was acquired in November 2020 already. As a result, the production costs for one ounce could be pushed down by USD 31 to USD 868. Due to the purchase of the Terenga assets, the Company currently still has debts, but these should be repaid quite quickly. In the future, the Company will invest more in exploration, with a lot expected from the greenfield area in particular.

    The figures for the first quarter were impressive. Gold production doubled and profits climbed 111% to USD 0.50. If the gold price continues to rise, earnings will improve accordingly. A share buyback program is active and there is a dividend yield of 1.5%. While other large mining companies are valued at a P/E ratio of over 20, Endeavour has a P/E ratio of only 11.

    Newmont - Basic investment in gold

    Newmont is the undisputed number 1 gold producer. On May 19, the stock reached a multi-year high, which is not only related to the rising gold price. The first-quarter numbers were good. Net income for the first quarter of 2021 was USD 538 million, or 67 cents per share, and revenue was about USD 2.9 billion.

    Operationally, improvement can be seen primarily at former Goldcorp mines, reflected in production volumes and production costs. In addition, the CEO announced that Newmont is looking at large copper projects, where production will be significantly expanded. Copper is an absolute trend metal due to electrification.

    The stock has broken out to the upside, the Company has declared a share buyback program, and there is a dividend yield of about 3% on top. Newmont, as the number 1 gold producer, will benefit the most from a rising gold price. However, investors should not buy at the high but wait for a setback.

    China Is Buying Gold—Even More Than Expected? Barrick Mining, Newmont, and Lahontan Gold Stand to Benefit

    While the price of gold holds steady above the USD 4,000 mark, China is buying heavily. According to the Chinese central bank, China purchased 15 metric tons of gold in June alone. This is the highest volume since October 2023. Furthermore, the market has long suspected that China's actual gold purchases are significantly higher than the officially reported amounts. This could mean gold is on the verge of a new rally. For investors looking to profit from a long-term rise in the price of gold, Barrick Mining and Newmont are considered core investments in the gold sector. They offer relatively direct exposure to the price of gold. Rising selling prices can have a disproportionately large impact on cash flow and profits when production costs remain stable. At the same time, operational risks, cost increases, and political uncertainties persist in individual mining countries. Exploration companies are a good option for adding to a portfolio to gain additional exposure to the price of gold.

    Selected small caps can offer compelling opportunities beyond the market's biggest names. Analysts see significant upside potential in several companies, citing attractive catalysts and long-term growth prospects. Desert Gold is approaching the start of gold production, a milestone that GBC analysts believe could drive a substantial re-rating of the stock. At Steyr, the first potential acquirer has emerged. Although the talks were not successful, this is nonetheless an encouraging strategic signal. Here, too, analysts recommend buying. Meanwhile, could Stabilus' latest strategic robotics partnership mark the beginning of a turnaround? Which of these stocks could be the next to break out?

    A Chip Crash Was Inevitable, a Gold Revival Is on the Horizon! AMD, Infineon, and SanDisk Are in a Sell-Off; Lahontan Gold Is on the Rise

    What a bombshell in the tech sector! The abrupt plunge in semiconductor stocks has unexpectedly shaken up the industry and forced the NASDAQ into a correction. After a rally lasting several months, valuations were starting to look ambitious, while signs of an economic slowdown were emerging. A reassessment of fundamentals appears to be underway, as in an environment of persistent inflation and high volatility, investors' desire for stability and preservation of value is once again coming to the forefront. Gold has historically served this role many times as a classic "safe haven", safeguarding real purchasing power through crises. The tactical strategy is to realize some or all of the gains from overheated, cyclical technology and semiconductor stocks and reallocate them to precious metals and related instruments. While chip and memory stocks react strongly to market sentiment, an exposure to the gold sector provides a stable anchor with long-term opportunities. Now is a good time to act!
