Government Debt Threatens Us All: Barrick Mining, Montage Gold and Hidden Gem Kobo Resources in Focus
As the debt spiral spins faster and faster and interest rates put entire nations under pressure, the time has come for tangible assets. Globally, a mountain of debt totaling over USD 350 billion is piling up—more than three times the total global economic output. As confidence in unbacked fiat currency wanes and even central banks turn to gold, retail investors are also seeking refuge in precious metals. We show that companies in the precious metals sector also offer opportunities and present three examples.

Sell Rheinmetall? Evotec with AI Potential and Lahontan Gold's 22% Resource Boost!
Should investors sell Rheinmetall shares? That is the recommendation from mwb research. The analysts continue to view Rheinmetall as a clear operational winner in the European defense boom. However, they believe market expectations starting in 2028 are too ambitious. The company's order backlog is not as robust as many assume. By contrast, there are strong arguments for a rising share price at Lahontan Gold. The gold price climbed back above USD 4,600, suggesting that a new rally in the precious metal could be getting underway—the perfect timing to give the Lahontan story a boost. The company plans to build a mine and begin gold production next year. Most recently, the resource estimate was raised by 22%. And what about Evotec? Its stock is at rock bottom. Can AI-driven optimism provide new momentum?

Gold at USD 5,200 – Are Mining Stocks Heading for New All-Time Highs? Barrick, Pan American Silver, Endeavour Silver, Newmont & Desert Gold
Gold at USD 5,200 per ounce and mining stocks heading for a new all-time high? Morgan Stanley is supporting this bullish outlook. Despite recent volatility, the US investment bank remains bullish on gold and forecasts a price of USD 5,200 per ounce by the end of 2026. Compared to current levels, this would represent significant upside potential. A German precious metals expert also sees mining stocks reaching new all-time highs. This is likely to apply to Barrick Mining as well. The company has reached an agreement with Newmont, will receive a payment in the billions, and has taken another step toward a potential IPO of its North American gold assets. For Desert Gold, the timing could hardly be better. The company appears to be moving toward gold production just as a new gold rally is getting underway.

Keeping a Close Eye on Copper: A Look at BHP, Power Metallic Mines and Freeport-McMoRan
Copper, copper, copper! Whether it is data centers, smartphones, laptops, or electric vehicles—none of them can function without this red metal. Copper has been the top performer among all metals this year and even defied the dollar's strength in the spring. Now, however, it appears that the Greenback itself is entering a period of weakness. Rising yields on US Treasury bonds have forced the Federal Reserve to take action in the market. With a record debt level of USD 40 trillion, the US simply cannot afford such high interest rates. This should put an end, once and for all, to speculation about a Fed rate hike before the midterm elections in November. This environment is bolstering commodity markets, and copper is one of the biggest winners. That is why today we are taking a look at BHP, Power Metallic Mines and Freeport-McMoRan.

250% Opportunity with a Newcomer vs. Gold Giants: Barrick, Agnico Eagle and Kobo Resources in Focus
When inflation erodes purchasing power and global debt mountains rise, it is traditionally time for humanity's oldest safeguard against crisis: GOLD. In the current turbulent environment, the precious metal is once again proving its historic role as an indestructible rock in the storm. While paper currencies are being gradually devalued by ongoing inflation, the intrinsic value of the precious metal remains intact. This fundamental confidence is currently being bolstered by unprecedented momentum, as central banks worldwide are buying up physical gold at a record-breaking pace to make their own foreign exchange reserves crisis-proof. Those who wish not only to protect their wealth amid this shift in the monetary climate but also to actively profit from the rising demand for gold will find the most exciting opportunities among producers and explorers. The stocks of giants Agnico Eagle and Barrick Mining offer the perfect combination of operational excellence, first-class mine locations, and defensive dividend strength. For more speculative investors, the agile explorer Kobo Resources offers a highly attractive "multibagger" opportunity in West Africa. It is worth taking a closer look.

According to the report, the US Treasury is increasingly attempting to address the problem by issuing debt securities with ever-shorter maturities, with all the associated risks. Alarm bells have long been ringing in the financial markets. Those looking to protect their wealth should consider tangible assets. Gold could once again become an attractive option—we present an exciting opportunity and shed light on the current state of the financial system.

The price of gold has staged a formidable rally in recent weeks. The price rose by nearly 10% after hovering around the USD 4,000 mark for weeks. With its yen intervention, the US has shown that it prefers a weak greenback. In addition, the Federal Reserve has remained neutral recently. Meanwhile, the market now appears to be fully betting on rising precious metal prices. On some days, gold has gained ground even as US Treasury yields rose—a very unusual occurrence! For investors, this means preparing for the coming years. Those who believe in a rising gold price are investing in gold stocks.

China is going for gold! Is the next rally about to begin for Lahontan Gold, Barrick and Pan American Silver?
Geopolitical tensions, doubts about traditional reserve currencies, and central bank purchases are keeping the price of gold above USD 4,000 per ounce. China, in particular, is sending signals. The People's Republic's central bank increased its gold reserves to 2,346 metric tons by mid-year. At the same time, several of the country's major banks are closing off certain channels for private trading in "paper gold" and leveraged precious metals contracts. High precious metals prices translate into high profits and cash flows for producers such as Barrick Mining and Pan American Silver, and are also leading to rising dividends for shareholders. At Barrick, the path is also clear for an IPO of its North American gold assets by the end of the year, which should unlock hidden value. Developers like Lahontan Gold offer significantly more leverage. Lahontan is in the process of reactivating the formerly producing Santa Fe Mine in Nevada, which, according to the latest news, holds approximately 2.4 million ounces of gold equivalent. The preliminary economic assessment, expected by the end of September, could be the breakthrough the stock needs.

Gold Revolution: Newmont and Equinox Reshape Their Strategies, DRC Gold with the Next Mega-Mine?
When the gold price goes on a roller-coaster ride, the mining industry picks up steam as well. While industry giants such as Newmont are sharpening their focus and mid-sized producers like Equinox are exploring their options, plenty is happening behind the scenes at smaller exploration companies such as DRC Gold. Those with promising projects located near major mines may be looking to capitalize on an exit, particularly at a time when gold prices are rising again. We introduce the three companies mentioned above and take a closer look at DRC Gold, which is pursuing opportunities in the Congo and is regarded by some market insiders as a hidden gem.
