Gold boom in 2026: Be on the right side with Newmont, Kobo Resources, and B2Gold
Gold is experiencing an unprecedented surge, driven by geopolitical turmoil, a sustained run on gold by central banks, and eroding confidence in fiat currencies. This perfect constellation has pushed the price to record levels and is creating an exceptional environment for select mining companies. Mining giant Newmont, exploration specialist Kobo Resources, and growth producer B2Gold are in focus.

Gold records, Sibanye Stillwater, Equinox: Why the USD 5,000 scenario is becoming reality, and Africa is turning into a jackpot for AJN Resources
January 12, 2026, marks a psychological turning point in financial history. With the Handelsblatt article discussing a potential rise in the price of gold to USD 5,000 per ounce, a scenario that was long considered the domain of apocalyptic optimists has entered the mainstream. But unlike previous cycles, this price increase is not only driven by fear, but by a fundamental realignment of the global monetary architecture and an unprecedented supply shortage. We are in a phase that Goldman Sachs, according to its analyses, describes as the "perfect storm": a mixture of geopolitical fragmentation, an aggressive interest rate turnaround, and structural underinvestment in new mines. While the price of gold already climbed to all-time highs of over USD 3,600 in 2025, indicators for 2026 point to an acceleration. In this environment, a continent that has long been neglected is coming into focus: Africa. While established producers such as Sibanye Stillwater and Equinox Gold are consolidating their positions, explorer AJN Resources offers the leverage that risk-tolerant investors are looking for in the early stages, thanks to its unique structure in Congo and Ethiopia.

The license to mine: With RZOLV Technologies, Barrick Mining and Agnico Eagle could gain new scope - without cyanide
Gold mining has long relied on a single, highly toxic molecule: cyanide. Today, tightening regulations, rising ESG scrutiny, and increasingly complex ore bodies are challenging this long-standing industry standard. A paradigm shift is emerging in which access to clean extraction technology, rather than mere ownership of the metal, is becoming the decisive strategic lever. This change is casting innovative providers such as RZOLV Technologies and established mining giants such as Barrick Mining and Agnico Eagle in a new strategic light.

Gold boom as an enormous price lever for explorers like Desert Gold Ventures! In or out of Barrick and First Majestic Silver?
In recent weeks, gold and silver prices have reached new all-time highs. Silver in particular has seen a sharp increase in volatility at these elevated price levels. US investment banks remain bullish and forecast a gold price of at least USD 4,900 by year-end. Gold continues to serve as a safe haven amid geopolitical tensions, high government debt, and declining purchasing power. In addition, strategic purchases by central banks are on the rise. Taken together, these factors create a favorable environment for precious metals and producers. Last year, the shares of mining operators such as Barrick and First Majestic outperformed precious metal prices. It is characteristic of a later phase of a bull market that investor preferences shift toward explorers such as Desert Gold. We take a closer look at three industry representatives and their potential.

Gold rush without toxins: Why Newmont and Equinox are under pressure, and RZOLV Technologies could become the key stock of the new super cycle
Gold is back on the big stage. Driven by geopolitical hot spots, structural weakness in the US dollar, and the insatiable appetite of central banks, the precious metal is racing from one all-time high to the next. But while prices are rising, the situation for mine operators is deteriorating: dependence on highly toxic cyanide is becoming more and more of a problem. Environmental regulations are becoming stricter, approval procedures are dragging on for decades, and social resistance is blocking billion-dollar projects. The technology company RZOLV Technologies is positioning itself in this area of tension between record prices and ecological dead ends. While industry giants such as Newmont and Equinox Gold are looking for ways to secure their production in a sustainable manner, RZOLV is providing the long-awaited technological answer: gold extraction that does not require any toxic chemicals and thus has the potential to reshuffle the cards in global mining.

Nordex shares unstoppable! Sell Hensoldt? Gold gem Kobo Resources with takeover speculation!
Nordex shares continue their strong momentum in 2026, rising nearly 10% in just a few trading days. Investors are responding to the wind turbine manufacturer's strong year-end performance with heavy buying, prompting analysts to raise their price targets. In contrast, sentiment on Hensoldt is more cautious. Analysts recommend selling, citing a lack of fundamental support for the recent price gains and warning of rising competitive pressures. Meanwhile, gold has shrugged off recent selling pressure and is marching back toward USD 4,500. Gold explorer Kobo Resources stands to benefit from this trend. In a recent interview, the CEO expressed optimism and even mentioned the possibility of a takeover. The question for investors: Is now the right time to buy?

Alternative to Barrick Mining and Equinox Gold: Why Maduro's fall could drive gold prices higher and make LAURION Mineral a strategic target
The 2026 stock market year is beginning with a geopolitical earthquake whose tectonic shifts will be felt across global commodity markets for a long time to come. The direct intervention of the United States in Venezuela and the effective removal of President Nicolás Maduro have redefined the global security architecture virtually overnight. While Washington celebrates the move as a necessary restoration of democracy in the Western Hemisphere, geopolitical rivals Beijing and Moscow are responding with sharp rhetoric and brusque diplomatic protests. Uncertainty is spreading like wildfire – from the shores of Cuba, where the regime fears for its survival, all the way to Greenland, where major powers are increasingly competing aggressively for strategic spheres of influence. With gold already rising for months amid mounting uncertainty and monetary policy concerns, investors continue to flee to the safe haven. However, while established producers such as Barrick and Equinox absorb the first wave of panic-driven inflows, strategic investors are turning their attention to the few remaining safe jurisdictions such as Canada. Here, specialized explorers like LAURION Mineral Exploration hold precisely the kind of assets that are becoming the most valuable currency in an uncertain world.

The new world order after the Venezuela shock: Why Rheinmetall and Bank of America are betting on North America, and Globex Mining is the big winner
The spectacular arrest of the Venezuelan president by US authorities marks another historic turning point that has repercussions far beyond South America. It is the ultimate proof that the era of diplomatic kid gloves is over and that the law of the jungle is increasingly prevailing on the international stage. For global financial markets and strategic investments, this move means a radical reassessment of country risks. If heads of state are no longer safe, then investments in mines and infrastructure in politically unstable regions are certainly not. In this new climate of hard power politics, security of supply is becoming the only currency that counts. That is why the spotlight is now turning to a company that exemplifies North America's commodity security: Globex Mining. With a gigantic portfolio of over 200 projects in the world's safest jurisdictions, Globex offers precisely the geopolitical protective shield that the market is now desperately seeking.

Precious metals crash after margin shock – Operations continue at Barrick Mining, AJN Resources, and B2Gold
The sudden collapse of gold prices in the last week of December 2025 revealed the hidden levers of the financial markets. The trigger was not fundamental news, but a technical decision. The CME Group's increase in margin requirements forced highly leveraged speculators to sell, abruptly ending the spectacular rally. This forced liquidation reveals how stock market mechanisms can force abrupt corrections even in bullish markets. In this volatile phase, it is worth taking a look at established players and agile explorers. How are heavyweights Barrick Mining, explorer AJN Resources, and growth producer B2Gold positioning themselves for the coming year?

Correction in gold and silver? Margin calls? What this means for Kobo Resources, Barrick Mining, First Majestic, and the sector!
The bull market in precious metals came to an end in 2025 with prices close to all-time highs. Gold rose by around 65%, silver by around 150%. In the last days of last year, margin increases for metal futures on the CME, the world's largest futures exchange, led to a short-term correction in precious metal prices. US banks Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan remain bullish and expect gold prices to reach at least USD 4,900 this year. Experts identify interest rate cuts, strong physical demand, and purchases by central banks as the driving forces. These are good prospects for producers Barrick and First Majestic. Second-tier stocks such as Kobo Resources have recently outperformed blue chips and have a good chance of outperforming the market leaders this year.
