    Gold on the road to recovery

    Gold maintained its essential support zone at USD 1,800.00 last week and is currently trading at USD 1,869.00. The correction, which has been underway since August, did not stop at gold mine stocks either. Especially in this sector, there are good opportunities at the moment to invest favourably in promising companies which, with a full pipeline, should be among the winners in the next upswing. One of these exciting Companies is Desert Gold, which focuses on gold mining in the West African country of Mali. Mali is rich in mineral resources and the third-largest gold producer in Africa. Particular focus is currently on the 410 sq km SMSZ project, which extends over approximately 38 km of the productive Senegal-Mali shear zone.

    A project with great potential

    Last week marked the long-awaited start of the most extensive exploration program in the Company's history. According to management, the SMSZ project in western Mali is planned to drill over 20,000 metres and additional drilling for a further 20,000 metres if required. The SMSZ Project is one of the largest gold exploration projects in West Africa. Along strike, the main Desert Gold project is connected to five significant mines to the north and south. These include mines of the big players such as B2 Gold, Barrick Gold and Allied Gold.

    Optimistic outlook

    Desert Gold's Chairman, Jared Scharf, is optimistic about the future: "I'm very pleased to begin this work season fully funded with a highly experienced operating team on the ground. The SMSZ project is one of the largest gold exploration projects in West Africa and is ideally situated along the prolific Senegal Mali shear zone. This project will be our main focus this year as it hosts a myriad of highly prospective, advanced and early-stage targets in the right regional setting. Looking forward into 2021, we expect consistent news flow throughout the year as results are published while we continue developing new and existing targets."

    This positive news could also be the starting signal for the share price. After a high at CAD 0.35, Desert Gold's share price corrected to CAD 0.12. After the announcement last week, the share price was able to move back towards CAD 0.20. With further positive news flow, enormous fantasy is in the paper of Desert Gold.

    On the right track

    The latest news from Bayer AG was consistently positive and gives hope for a comeback of the former DAX leader. Only the ongoing legal dispute regarding a settlement in the glyphosate affair puts everything else in the shade. The Leverkusen-based Company is strengthening its pharmaceuticals business with the US biotech Company Atara Biotherapeutics. Through this collaboration, the Group is entering the field of so-called CAR-T cell therapies and, among other things, securing access to a promising cancer immunotherapy from Atara.

    Depending on how particular development, approval and marketing objectives are met, Atara may receive payments totalling USD 610 million. The analysts of Deutsche Bank acknowledge the efforts of Bayer's management in recent weeks and confirm their recommendation to 'buy' the share with a price target of EUR 62.00.

    Where is the journey heading?

    The Chinese electric carmaker Nio has recently had to make some significant corrections. The stock market star that was celebrated only a short time ago lost more than 20% of its value. The reasons once again lie in the still smouldering conflict between the USA and China. Last week, the House of Representatives passed a bill that should make the delisting of the Chinese stock market giants like Alibaba and Nio possible.

    Should this be a sabre-rattling of the still active government around the outgoing President Donald Trump, the Americans would once again shoot themselves in the knee. The delistings would lead to massive capital outflows from the United States. Currently, Nio is fighting with the critical support at the equivalent of EUR 35.00. The fundamental outlook remains positive. We consider the occurrence of a delisting very unlikely.

    History repeats itself: Why Antimony Resources now offers the Lynas Rare Earths opportunity of 2010 and could benefit like Cameco

    There are moments when geopolitical ruptures disrupt entire industries. Anyone who remembers 2010 knows what we are talking about: at that time, China effectively shut down exports of rare earths amid a dispute over the Senkaku Islands. Western industry was in shock, prices exploded, and a small, hitherto little-noticed Australian explorer named Lynas Rare Earths became the Western world's only hope overnight. Today, 15 years later, we are experiencing déjà vu: this time, however, the focus is not on neodymium, but on antimony – the forgotten metal without which the defense industry would grind to a halt. Once again, China dominates the market, once again export restrictions are being used as a political weapon, and once again the West is desperately searching for a safe alternative. This is where Antimony Resources comes into play. The company is now at exactly the same point where Lynas was before its legendary rise: it controls an antimony project in a secure jurisdiction that can break dependence on the East.

    Solution to a billion-dollar problem: MustGrow Biologics validates business model – Revolutionary news also for Bayer and Corteva Agriscience

    Canola is to Canada what oil is to Saudi Arabia: an economic driver of enormous proportions. With an estimated production value of around CAD 14 billion in 2025, the yellow-flowering crop is the "green gold" of the prairie. Yet this billion-dollar market is in danger: clubroot, an aggressive soil-borne disease, threatens crops and is already causing annual losses exceeding CAD 500 million. Previous solutions have reached their biological limits, but now the Canadian AgriTech company MustGrow Biologics is reporting a decisive success. As the company announced on Tuesday, its proprietary TerraMG™ technology has not only suppressed the disease in large-scale field trials, but also significantly increased yields. For agricultural giants like Bayer and Corteva, this could be the decisive lever to protect their high-performance seed varieties over the long term.

    SILVER CRASH - From USD 122 to USD 72! Time to sharpen your knives with TKMS, CSG, Silver Viper, and thyssenkrupp

    The explosive rise in the price of silver, which rose almost in a straight line from around USD 35 to USD 122 by the end of last week, is now taking its speculative toll. The precious metal has soared by more than 300% within 14 months, accompanied by widespread rumors of huge short positions and extreme problems for the futures exchanges in terms of material supply. The fact remains that silver has been used for several years across various high-tech industries, from wind power and e-mobility to state-of-the-art defense technology. Manufacturers are also said to have been spotted on the market making large cover purchases due to impending physical shortages. Industry sources report a possible deficit of over 1 billion ounces in the March settlement – equivalent to around 125% of total annual production. In addition to the exciting silver explorer Silver Viper, we also analyze thyssenkrupp, its subsidiary TKMS, and the newcomer to the stock market, CSG. It is worth reading on.
