Gold Boom Thanks to the Peace Dividend: A Look at Barrick Mining, DRC Gold, and Agnico Eagle
The recent geopolitical easing in the Middle East is sending shockwaves through the energy markets, with welcome spillover effects for the gold mining industry. Falling oil prices are lowering mining companies' production costs and boosting profit margins even before the price of gold itself reacts. While the markets are still digesting the relief brought by the peace, the fundamental conditions for the industry are noticeably improving. We take a closer look at industry leader Barrick Mining, DRC Gold as a growth story in the African Gold Belt, and Agnico Eagle with its robust asset portfolio.

SUPERINVESTOR ERIC SPROTT TAKES A STAKE IN POWER METALLIC MINES! BAE SYSTEMS AND BMW CAN BREATHE EASIER
Mining legend Eric Sprott is investing CAD 2.0 million in the Canadian exploration company Power Metallic Mines, sending a signal that resonates far beyond the mining sector. Copper, nickel, cobalt, and platinum group metals, which lie dormant in the ground in Québec, are in high demand by both the defence industry and automotive manufacturers. For companies such as BAE Systems and BMW, these critical raw materials are indispensable. Three companies, one supply chain—and a race the West cannot afford to lose.

Gold Sector in M&A Frenzy: Dwindling Reserves Drive B2Gold and Orezone – Hidden Gem: Desert Gold
Dwindling mineral reserves in low-risk regions, stagnating discovery rates, and increasingly complex permitting processes—the situation in the gold mining sector is forcing leading producers to act. Since developing new large-scale greenfield projects is associated with sharply rising costs, industry giants are increasingly shifting their focus to acquiring projects already at an advanced stage. According to surveys by the industry portal MiningBeacon, the gold sector accounted for over 40% of the total mining transaction volume in the first five months of 2026 alone, amounting to deals worth USD 41 billion. West African shear trends and established mining regions are therefore becoming target areas for resource-hungry corporations that need to utilize their processing capacities to full capacity.

Gold, Silver, Defence, AI, or the Nasdaq? SpaceX Heads for the US Indices – Defying Weakness with Lahontan Gold
A remarkable phenomenon is currently unfolding in the markets: virtually everything is weakening. From gold to silver, from high-tech to low-tech, whether AI or hydrogen—every sector is undergoing a correction. So far, however, the pullback remains modest when measured against the extraordinary gains achieved over the past 14 months following the tariff-driven sell-off triggered by Donald Trump. During that period, the Nasdaq effectively doubled. Traders know that a volatile interim low will now be reached, particularly over the summer, before the markets look forward to 2027 with renewed hope. This period needs to be bridged, and there may also be a need for hedging. Historically, gold has served this role well, often gaining value when other asset classes came under pressure. Yet gold itself has been one of the best-performing asset classes over the past two years, leading to some profit-taking here as well. Whether the S&P 500 can absorb additional heavyweights such as SpaceX, OpenAI, and Databricks following its historic rally remains to be seen. A fast-track inclusion of SpaceX into the S&P indices was reportedly rejected by S&P Dow Jones, while NASDAQ, Russell, and MSCI are set to list it within a few trading days. This should be exciting! Where are the tangible opportunities for investors?

War, Armament Build-Up, Commodity Shortages—Take Advantage of Pullbacks in Almonty, Rheinmetall, and RENK!
The sharp correction in defence stocks over the past few months has unsettled investors. Analysts have significantly lowered their price targets, and sentiment has turned negative. However, the underlying fundamentals remain unchanged. Geopolitical tensions around the globe are rising, defence spending is reaching record levels, and there is no end in sight to global rearmament. For this reason, the current pullback presents an attractive entry opportunity. This applies in particular to Almonty Industries shares. Recently, the tungsten producer raised USD 800 million in fresh capital through a convertible bond. Investors can therefore expect value-enhancing acquisitions of assets and companies.

Dividend Strategies Put to the Test: Margin Pressure at McDonald's and Johnson & Johnson – RE Royalties Shows Resilience in a Crisis
Global capital markets are undergoing a significant transformation. What generated returns yesterday may already be risky today. For decades, established consumer goods brands and research-intensive pharmaceutical companies were considered the robust cornerstones of dividend strategies. But this paradigm is coming under increasing pressure. Rising operating costs, regulatory interventions, and the relentless cycle of patent expirations are challenging even the most resilient market leaders. In this market environment, alternative financing models with an asset-light approach are gaining importance. Natural energy sources such as wind and solar power offer the opportunity for stable, recurring, and above all inflation-protected revenue streams through innovative royalty structures. That is exactly what investors are looking for right now. We provide an overview.

Three Ways to Benefit from the Expertise of Investment Specialists: Globex Mining, Mutares, Berkshire Hathaway
Why search for the next winners yourself when experienced investment specialists are already doing the work? Investors can benefit directly from different models of success. While Mutares focuses on so-called carve-outs and corporate turnarounds, Berkshire Hathaway—the company that made star investor Warren Buffett a household name—invests for the long term in promising companies. Globex Mining takes a completely different approach. The company has a broadly diversified portfolio of commodity projects, enabling investors to benefit from royalties, options, and capital appreciation during commodity supercycles. Three companies, three investment styles in completely different industries. What they all have in common is a focus on increasing shareholder value. How should investors position themselves?

Gold Market: Rising Inflation Fears Force Mining Giants Like Barrick Into Acquisitions – S&P Global Provides Tailwind for DRC Gold
An escalating US debt crisis exceeding USD 39 trillion, geopolitical shocks in the Middle East, and a resurgent inflation trend have shaped capital markets in the first half of the year. While more speculative digital assets such as Bitcoin have experienced significant corrections after reaching historic highs, physical gold is increasingly establishing itself as a stable store of value against fiat currency debasement. The precious metal has reached an all-time high of USD 5,589 per ounce and is seeing strong inflows into gold ETFs. This ongoing trend is forcing established mining companies to expand declining resources at existing mines and in surrounding areas. For investors, this environment presents opportunities.

M&A Fever Sweeps the Gold Sector! Lahontan Gold Deserves a Closer Look
While gold prices are consolidating, a new wave of mergers and acquisitions is emerging across the sector. Historically, consolidation cycles tend to start with the larger producers, and the current market appears to be following that pattern. Orla Mining, Equinox Gold, Coeur Mining, New Gold, Endeavour Mining, and industry heavyweight Barrick Mining have already been active. Against this backdrop, investors may want to take a closer look at second-tier companies that already have advanced projects. One particularly interesting candidate is Lahontan Gold. The company's CEO recently stated: "We will have a mine next year." Lahontan holds a resource of nearly 2 million ounces of gold equivalent, operates in one of North America's premier mining jurisdictions, and has a clearly defined path toward production. On top of that, its market capitalization is anything but expensive.
