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.

    Is Gold Headed for USD 10,000 as a Survival Strategy? Caution Advised for TUI, Lufthansa, DRC Gold, and Porsche

    What do Ed Yardeni, Chris Wood, and Thomas Kaplan have in common? In recent months, all three have mentioned a USD 10,000 price target for gold. Mr. Yardeni, founder of Yardeni Research, sees a global debasement of currencies and believes this target could be reached between 2028 and 2029. Chris Wood, Global Head of Equity Strategy at the research firm Jefferies, considers a five-digit valuation for the yellow metal possible within about five years. His reasoning includes a structural bull market, geopolitical uncertainty, and increasing central bank purchases. Finally, Thomas Kaplan of the Electrum Group also regards this target as realistic if gold is rediscovered as a monetary reserve. All of these arguments are understandable, though whether such a scenario will actually materialize remains uncertain. However, many of the factors cited are already evident today. We therefore look beyond the immediate horizon, broadening our view to include tourism and luxury goods - sectors that currently stand somewhat in the shadow of surging gold prices, yet remain no less interesting.

    RENK, Silver Viper, Harmony Gold – Silver and Copper in the Global Commodities Race

    Silver and copper are increasingly becoming key strategic metals in the new industrial era. The global expansion of renewable energy, power grids, and electric mobility is driving demand skyward. At the same time, demand from the defense industry is also growing. This is offset by a supply that is growing ever more slowly. New mines take years to reach production, while existing deposits, in some cases, are showing declining ore grades. Experts are therefore already warning of structural bottlenecks. For producers, this tension between rising demand and limited supply could become a real profit driver.

    The Commodities Bet for 2026: Why Desert Gold Ventures Could Outperform Barrick Mining and How K+S is Benefiting from the Iran War

    In the spring of 2026, the gold market is in a phase of extreme volatility that sends shivers down the spines of traders. Following a spectacular all-time high of over USD 5,400 per troy ounce in January, gold is now trading sideways in a volatile range of roughly USD 5,000–5,200. Investors are watching intently the players who extract this precious metal from the earth. At the centre of this is the exciting question of whether "smaller companies" like Desert Gold Ventures will outpace the sluggish giant producers. While Barrick Mining struggles with an unprecedented cost spiral, Desert Gold Ventures is already poised in Mali for its first production. This picture is complemented by a strategic look at K+S, which is currently benefiting from the war in Iran, as 30% of fertilizers pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Who is betting on the right commodity stocks now and will profit from them in 2026?
