The financial crisis in 2008 and the current corona crisis differ fundamentally in the assessment of the economic aspects. Central banks and politicians have maintained growth and productivity by increasing the money supply in order to avert a global economic standstill in connection with the Lehman bankruptcy and its aftermath. At that time, the freshly printed money was used to invest, create something and create value. The current measures are about four times as high and the global economy is at a standstill - it is even in recession. From a social point of view, the measures to maintain social peace are appropriate, but when it comes to wealth creation, they resemble a catastrophe. There is a need for action.

    Gold doesn't grow back

    The precious metal gold is generally mined in an expensive process. In the first phase, deposits must be discovered through exploration. The discovery in itself is not enough to start production. The next step is to find out how large the deposits are. Exploration is risky and costly, but it is also the phase of value creation, where in relative terms, a high return on investment is possible. Once an economically viable amount of gold has been discovered, the development phase can begin, followed by production.

    Next acquisition target in the Yukon?

    Triumph Gold is a Canadian company focused on the exploration of its own projects in the Yukon. The Freegold Mountain project is located along a main road that is open to traffic year-round and therefore access is guaranteed. Drilling programs and discoveries continue to expand the amount of gold deposits. At a critical mass of proven gold and a certain price per ounce, a takeover by a producer is likely. Newmont already holds 18% of Triumph Gold and thus has a foot in the door.

    Canada's newest gold mine

    Victoria Gold is also located in the Yukon and has been producing at the Eagle Gold Mine since September 2019, after more than ten years of planning. At full capacity, an annual production volume of 210,000 ounces per year is to be achieved. The cost per ounce is estimated at USD 774.00, the margin is currently almost USD 1,000.00 per ounce. Total reserves of 3.3 million ounces have been determined, which is sufficient for a mining period of eleven years.

    Gold offers security for assets

    Considering that money is put into circulation without a deposited value, gold offers one of few ways to secure existing assets. Cash under the pillow or in the bank account can soon become a disadvantage in terms of purchasing power. The easiest way for investors to park their assets in shares of gold companies. The market value of Triumph Gold is CAD 23 million, Victoria Gold is valued at CAD 813 million and Newmont's market capitalization was recently over CAD 63 billion.

    Gold for your portfolio: Why Barrick Mining, First Majestic Silver, and Kobo Resources are now in the spotlight for investors

    Precious metals are back in the spotlight, and three stocks in particular show how differently investors can profit from this trend. Kobo Resources is an up-and-coming gold explorer from Canada that is gradually building up an impressive gold deposit in West Africa. Barrick Mining is one of the industry's giants, but is currently struggling with strategic decisions and a decline in production. First Majestic Silver made a remarkable turnaround in 2025 and is ringing investors' cash registers. Three companies, three stories, but all united by one trend: rising metal prices are fueling the imagination. Those who do not take a look now could miss out on a real opportunity.

    Reserves at their limit: Why Newmont and Barrick Mining depend on developers such as Lahontan Gold

    The price of gold is hitting new highs, driven by global debt of over USD 340 trillion and the devaluation of fiat currencies. Analysts at JPMorgan forecast an average gold price of USD 5,055 per ounce by the end of 2026. In this market environment, gold mine operators are seeing revenue and EBITDA growth. Nevertheless, producers face a massive problem: they are extracting the precious metal faster than they can discover new deposits. The procurement of new resources in reliable jurisdictions has become a matter of operational survival for players in industry. We present a promising stock that aims to make great strides in 2026.

    Gold stock set to MULTIPLY? Could Desert Gold outshine Barrick Mining, B2Gold, and others?

    • Africa

    While the price of gold remains above USD 5,000 per troy ounce, one country is staging a spectacular comeback. After two years of negative headlines, the government appears to be reassessing its approach and is seeking renewed cooperation with gold companies. The West African country will remain strategically important in the future, not just for Barrick Mining and B2Gold. As a result, gold companies operating there are likely to see a stock market resurgence. Desert Gold clearly stands out as a potential outperformer, with its Mali activities currently barely reflected in the stock price. Analysts see potential for substantial gains.
