Gold in the ground, cash on the way: Why Desert Gold is well positioned for the gold boom fueled by the Iran war
When major industry players start writing billion-dollar checks to buy their way into a region, investors should take a closer look. The acquisition of Canadian producer Allied Gold by Chinese giant Zijin Mining for CAD 5.5 billion caused a stir in West Africa at the beginning of the year. But above all, it is a wake-up call for anyone still searching for the gems that the market has overlooked. In the immediate vicinity of the acquired Allied Gold concessions, in the same highly productive Senegal-Mali Shear Zone (SMSZ), lies Desert Gold with a market capitalization of around CAD 35 million. The company owns an impressive 440 sq km of exploration ground within the same highly productive structural corridor that hosts operations owned by Barrick, B2Gold, and Endeavour. Geologically, this is the Champions League. From a valuation standpoint, however, Desert Gold plays in a completely different league. This discrepancy between geological setting and market capitalization forms the core of the investment thesis.

Gold price in war mode! This gold stock is exploding! Is Desert Gold's 70% rally just the beginning?
With the attack by the US and Israel on Iran, the gold price has definitively ended its breather. On Monday, the precious metal easily surpassed the USD 5,300 per troy ounce mark, bringing it within reach of its record high of USD 5,595. This has added further momentum to the rally in Desert Gold's shares. Even without a rising gold price, however, there are strong arguments for further upside in the stock. After several years of negative headlines, gold companies operating in Mali appear to have finally broken the deadlock. Desert Gold's shares show significant catch-up potential, and the recent 70% rally over the past weeks may only mark the beginning of a broader revaluation. A takeover by B2Gold, for example, also seems conceivable again.

Desert Gold Ventures – Hidden Gem in the Gold Supercycle
Gold has made an impressive comeback in recent quarters. Escalating geopolitical conflicts, fragile supply chains, continued high global government debt, and expansive fiscal programs in the US and Europe are fueling doubts about the long-term stability of paper currencies. Central banks are expanding their gold reserves, and institutional investors are increasing their strategic allocations. The price is trading close to historic highs, and this is precisely where a decisive lever comes into play. The higher the price level, the greater the profitability of new projects. Margins are expanding disproportionately, payback periods are shortening, and internal rates of return are skyrocketing. Developers with advanced projects, such as Desert Gold Ventures, are thus increasingly becoming the focus of the capital market.

Costs are key: How Barrick Mining, Kobo Resources, and B2Gold are delivering record margins
The gold price's record-breaking run shows no signs of stopping. While the precious metals markets are being fueled by geopolitical tensions and expectations of interest rate cuts, a decisive change is taking shape beneath the surface. The era of easy profits in established mining regions is coming to an end. Rising production costs and shrinking grades are putting pressure on the margins of many producers. The real winners are those with projects in Africa. A closer look at the operational base of Barrick Mining, Kobo Resources, and B2Gold reveals why these companies in particular have the potential to turn the current gold rush into cash.

Great opportunities in Central Africa: DRC Gold, AngloGold Ashanti, and Gold Fields in Focus
We are witnessing a historic rally in the price of gold, which is fundamentally changing both the balance sheets of established corporations and the strategies of emerging explorers. As recent analyses by PwC and McKinsey show, the precious metal has evolved from a pure hedge against inflation to a strategic guarantee of security. Forecasts by leading investment banks Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan suggest that, in the wake of ongoing central bank purchases and currency devaluations, a rapid rise to as much as USD 6,300 per ounce by the end of the year is possible. Experts at State Street Global Advisors also point to the escalating global debt crisis as the primary driver of precious metal prices. In this phase, DRC Gold's realignment marks a decisive turning point in the development of African gold reserves. The company has acquired the option to acquire majority interests in the high-grade Giro and Nizi projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo through a binding agreement. This positions the explorer in the renowned Kilo-Moto greenstone belt in the immediate vicinity of the world-class Kibali mine, which is operated as a joint venture by AngloGold Ashanti, Barrick Mining, and the state-owned company SOKIMO, and allows it to leverage the pull of the industry giants for its own growth.

Will the Iran conflict fuel gold prices? Iamgold and Lahontan Gold stand to benefit! Novo Nordisk shares poised for a rebound?
Will tensions in Iran push gold to new highs? At the very least, the crisis currency is likely to see renewed demand, and with it, gold stocks. Iamgold demonstrates that industry does not necessarily rely on rising gold prices to generate strong profits. Expectations for the gold producer's quarterly figures were high. Can the 50% rally continue? Lahontan Gold is currently in a pivotal phase. Its historical resource of just under 2 million ounces is expected to increase following updated estimates. In addition, the construction of the first mine in the heart of the US gold region appears increasingly likely. This may be one of the last opportunities to accumulate the stock at an attractive price. By contrast, Novo Nordisk has lost considerable investor confidence. The shares appear inexpensive, but is another guidance cut looming? Some analysts believe the stock may have already found a bottom.

+50% Uranium Surge? Standard Uranium Could Have Even More Upside!
The impact of AI is currently causing sharp price swings. Who stands to gain, and who is under threat? While software companies are being punished, the share prices of energy companies are skyrocketing. Among the big winners in the US are energy suppliers that rely on nuclear power. These include, for example, Constellation Energy, Vistra, and Talen Energy. But these companies also need to be supplied with uranium. It is therefore not surprising that Bank of America is bullish on the price of uranium. It expects an increase of over 50% to USD 135 per pound in the current year alone. With Standard Uranium, investors could benefit from this megatrend.

Entering the commodity supercycle with Rio Tinto, Power Metallic Mines, and Glencore: Three stocks for the portfolio
The world's hunger for commodities has changed fundamentally. What was long considered purely a narrative of energy transition is turning out to be a technological tsunami that is devouring metals on an unprecedented scale. As markets move away from their old dependence on individual commodities, a new ecosystem is emerging in which companies with diversified production portfolios are becoming the decisive players. There are growing signs that 2026 will be the year of differentiation – favoring those companies that are positioned along the entire value chain. We take a closer look at industry giants such as Rio Tinto, the promising explorer Power Metallic Mines, and the commodity trader Glencore in this new environment.

Western antimony axis ensures returns: How Antimony Resources, US Antimony, and Hensoldt are securing defense capabilities
In the current tense geopolitical environment, securing global supply chains for critical minerals has become a matter of national security. Antimony is now at the heart of modern defense technology. With China's dominance in this area remaining unchallenged for decades and the country imposing far-reaching export restrictions, urgent action is needed. The West, led by the US and Canada, is currently building a self-sufficient supply chain, as analysts at the Boston Consulting Group emphasize in their publication on ecosystems in the supply chain for critical minerals. This chain extends from exploration in Canada to industrial scaling in the US to the final production of sensor systems in Europe and other industrialized countries. Antimony Resources, the United States Antimony Corporation, and Hensoldt play a critical role in Western defense. Consulting firms such as PwC have pointed out in their outlook for the current year that massive sums are flowing into the defense sector in North America to secure raw material sovereignty. We explain where the greatest opportunities for investors lie.
