A New Gold Story in the West: How Endeavour Mining and Perseus Mining Are Expanding in West Africa – Could Kobo Resources Be the Next Gold Discovery?
Anyone traveling through West Africa sees a region in the midst of transformation. For years, traditional mining jurisdictions such as Guinea, Ghana, and Burkina Faso dominated gold production, while Côte d'Ivoire remained largely overlooked despite its substantial mineral endowment. That picture is now changing. Reliable infrastructure, an increasingly attractive regulatory framework, and growing investor confidence are drawing fresh capital into the country. As established mining operations seek to replenish their reserves, agile exploration companies are positioning themselves to discover and develop the next generation of gold mines in Côte d'Ivoire. For investors, this evolving landscape is creating compelling new opportunities.

Use the Pullback in Gold as a Buying Opportunity? 100% Upside with Barrick Mining, Desert Gold, TUI, and Lufthansa
Every day, we are bombarded with headlines about wars, conflicts, and human tragedies—who has the heart to think about vacation right now? Yet it is precisely in moments like these that taking a break can be more valuable than ever. Investors have been navigating a maze of geopolitical uncertainty for years. Yet, the stock markets have so far shown remarkable resilience—because there are always sectors that come into sharp focus during times of crisis. Precious metals like gold and silver have confidently weathered the inflationary spikes following the COVID-19 pandemic. Historical data shows that gold has generated positive real returns during all periods of inflation—averaging about 6.2% per year over the long term, and as high as 8.8% during periods of high inflation. The travel sector, on the other hand, is on an emotional roller coaster. Current conflicts, particularly in the Middle East, are leading to declines in bookings, rising energy prices, and uncertainty among both travelers and providers. If an itinerary is too risky, plans must be changed at the last minute. But as soon as the situation eases, catch-up effects follow. What has worked in recent years is back on the agenda: buy when the world seems to be falling apart.

Gold Rush in the Congo: AngloGold Ashanti and Barrick Mining Must Step Up Their Game—Could DRC Gold Be the Biggest Winner?
Deep in the eastern rainforests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), in the Haut-Uélé province, few would expect to find the operations of global mining companies. Yet this remote region has emerged as one of the world's most promising areas for gold production. Although public infrastructure is often underdeveloped, major mining companies overcome these challenges by building roads, power lines, and other essential infrastructure themselves when necessary. The region's exceptional geological potential is simply too attractive to ignore. In this article, we introduce companies operating in the DRC and highlight opportunities for investors.

Top News: Sell Nordex? First Majestic Silver Under Pressure, Desert Gold Poised for Re-Rating!
Gold appears to be establishing a long-term floor at USD 4,000 per ounce.

Desert Gold is preparing to begin production in the near future. Desert Gold is preparing to begin production in the near future. According to analysts, the company would already be highly profitable at a gold price of USD 2,850, leaving considerable upside at current levels. As a result, they believe the stock offers significant re-rating potential. Nordex has already enjoyed a remarkable share price run over the past several years, making the market's muted reaction to its strong quarterly results less surprising. One analyst has even downgraded the stock to "Sell." The post-earnings sell-off in First Majestic Silver was more unexpected. Despite reporting strong quarterly results, the shares came under pressure—even as silver prices also appear to be establishing a solid base.

Do Not Miss Gold's Next Rally: Why Newmont, Desert Gold and Agnico Eagle Deserve a Closer Look
Investors are watching the yellow precious metal closely; its price has recently come under pressure but has stabilized above USD 4,000. The fundamental conditions for further price increases remain intact. Central banks continue to prefer buying gold over the US dollar; geopolitical turmoil is driving demand for safe-haven assets; and the prospect of falling key interest rates is traditionally good for gold prices. At the same time, robust physical demand coupled with stagnant production is leading to a supply shortage. This environment is fostering positive sentiment, particularly among producers. A look at the current situation at Newmont, Desert Gold, and Agnico Eagle reveals which companies could benefit most from this tailwind.

TUI, Xiaomi and Desert Gold: Goodbye Summer Slump, Chip Headwinds and a Golden Opportunity—Where Investors Could Find Value
Below, we look at three companies across different industries: the travel operator TUI, the Chinese technology provider Xiaomi, and the mining company Desert Gold Ventures.

Desert Gold Ventures, meanwhile, is on the verge of transitioning from exploration to active gold production. We examine the current key metrics, analyst price targets and fundamental developments for all three companies to assess their investment potential.

Keep Your Eyes Open! These Small Caps Are at a Critical Turning Point: North Arrow Minerals, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen, and Lang & Schwarz!
For stock pickers, it is the opportunity that counts—regardless of whether the potential alpha lies in commodities, industrials, or financial services. On top of that, small- and micro-cap stocks fly under the radar of the masses. This comes with both advantages and disadvantages. Patient investors who put the puzzle together correctly can benefit from this. In the case of Heidelberger Druck, the transition from a traditional machinery manufacturer to a technology group is being overlooked. As for Lang & Schwarz, the market is interpreting the loss of a major client almost as a failure of the business model—even though that model is actually based on multiple pillars. At North Arrow Minerals, exploration progress underscores the potential of the flagship Kraaipan Gold project. Well-known investors have already gotten on board. Who will come out on top?

Promising Explorer Kobo Resources Heading for a Busy Fall? Endeavour Mining and Perseus Mining Under Pressure
West Africa stands out for its vibrant mining scene. A lot is happening in the region right now. While the major mining giants are investing billions in their existing operations to extend mine lifetimes, an increasing number of smaller players are also coming into focus with high-grade discoveries. In Côte d'Ivoire in particular, there is already existing processing infrastructure that needs to be utilized to full capacity. This is driving activity along the Birimian greenstone belt. The race for promising gold properties near existing milling capacity has begun. In this way, corporations are avoiding extensive new investments and permitting processes while breathing new life into existing facilities. We explain the trend and highlight a potential beneficiary.
