As the European Central Bank raised its interest rate by 50 basis points on July 21 in line with the U.S. Fed and the Bank of England, the price of gold in the London Bullion Market Association fell to USD 1,700 per ounce. Recession danger is rising as more rate increases are anticipated. Changing consumer and equity market conditions are reflected in declining physical and exchange-traded fund demand for gold. Desert Gold Ventures CEO Jared Scharf explains us his view.

Table of contents:


    In the current rising inflation, what advantage can Desert Gold Ventures offer its investors and what is the distinguishing factors that separate the company from its peers?

    'Traditionally gold has performed as a hedge against inflation but also as a safe haven during times on extreme market volatility and uncertainty like we are in today. Generally speaking, gold equities like Desert Gold are a proxy to the gold price and react exponentially both to the upside and downside.

    If you think we are at or near a bottom in gold now is the time to seriously look at investments in gold equities. Desert Gold’s stands out from its peers due to our regional SMSZ Project 440km2 land package. From an investment perspective we are trading at a deep discount to our peers from a market/oz gold basis.

    Also, if you look at the way we spend our investors dollars, Desert Gold has by far one of the lowest, if not the lowest, discovery cost per oz gold.'
    Jared Scharf, CEO, Desert Gold Ventures Inc.

    Big news at the turn of the year! Nordex, Novo Nordisk, AJN Resources!

    Is now the time for gold explorers? The price of gold remains firmly above USD 4,300 per ounce, and shares of gold producers are performing well, perhaps even a little too well. Investors looking to continue participating in the gold bull market may therefore turn their attention to exploration companies. One such candidate is AJN Resources. The stock has already moved higher, yet still offers upside potential, supported by takeover speculation. Novo Nordisk has submitted an application for US approval following convincing Phase 3 results, a step that would be strategically significant for the Company. Meanwhile, Nordex remains one of the positive surprises of 2025, having reported another major order. The key question now is how far can the rally go?

    GOLD or SILVER? Both? Barrick Mining, First Majestic Silver, and Silver North Resources in focus!

    Gold and silver are not taking a break just before Christmas. The prices of precious metals are rising and rising. For silver, some experts' price target of USD 100 no longer seems unrealistic. First Majestic Silver's stock has performed even better. There is little choice among silver producers, and prices seem to be running hot. A shift to explorers in the coming year would come as no surprise. Silver North Resources is entering the new year with full coffers and positive results and aims to resume drilling as soon as possible. The Company is active in legally secure Canada, and its shares are attractive for investors. Those who missed the opportunity to invest in Barrick Mining in 2025 missed out on a threefold increase in value. The Company is also likely to have a few surprises in store in 2026. Perhaps even a hostile takeover?
