The Transaction Era: Why Desert Gold Ventures Emerges as the Clear Winner in West Africa – B2Gold Watches, Robex Resources as a Blueprint
The spotlight at Mining Indaba 2026 in Cape Town in early February illuminated a new reality that goes far beyond production quotas and drilling results. A term emerged from the panel discussions that defines future commodity policy: "transactional." The era of purely ideological alliances is giving way to a pragmatic age in which security of supply and access to resources are the currency of geopolitics. In this new global structure, in which the West, China, and the Global South are vying for influence, Africa is no longer positioning itself as a supplicant but as a strategic partner on an equal footing. Capital follows this logic. However, it does not flow indiscriminately, but rather targets the most geologically productive regions. In the gold sector, this means that all eyes are on the Senegal-Mali Shear Zone (SMSZ). In this world-class district, a small explorer controls the key to the longevity of the giants there: Desert Gold Ventures. While B2Gold and Robex Resources manage their billion-dollar assets, Desert Gold sits on strategic reserves that are likely to become very expensive in a transactional world.

Is the dispute between Barrick Mining and Newmont escalating? Gold gem DRC Gold finally gains momentum!
In recent weeks, the safe haven gold has not been for the faint-hearted. But after the correction, the price of the precious metal has worked its way back above the USD 5,000 mark surprisingly quickly. More than just a war of nerves appears to be unfolding between Barrick Mining and Newmont. Barrick plans to list its North American assets on the stock market. This does not sit well with industry leader Newmont. Could it even lead to a hostile takeover? DRC Gold is also fundamentally a takeover candidate. However, the company is currently focused on expanding its own activities. The stock has finally gained momentum, and many factors point to further upside potential for the gold explorer.

The gold correction is irrelevant here: Why Desert Gold is the missing piece of the puzzle for B2Gold and Allied Gold
The gold market is in a phase that analysts now refer to as a supercycle. With prices breaking historical records, smart capital is turning its attention to the world's most productive regions – even after the recent correction in precious metals. West Africa, and specifically the Senegal-Mali Shear Zone (SMSZ), is considered the geological heartland. This is where some of the largest and richest mines on the planet are located. But the business follows an inexorable logic: even the largest mines are emptying, and the processing plants need to be kept busy. This is true in the south of the zone for Canadian giant B2Gold with its world-class Fekola mine and in the north for Allied Gold, which is revitalizing the historic Sadiola asset. Desert Gold is considered a potential supporter of both companies. The company controls the largest non-producing land parcel in the entire region, located precisely between the two giants. This makes Desert Gold extremely interesting for investors.

Puma takeover is becoming more concrete! Should investors buy Evotec and Silver Viper shares next?
Takeover speculation has been swirling around Puma for some time. Now it has become more tangible: Anta has secured a 29% stake in the German sporting goods group, paying EUR 35 per share. However, the euphoria on the stock market is limited. Are there better opportunities for investors to profit from takeover speculation? One candidate in the hot silver market is Silver Viper. The Company is pushing ahead with exciting projects in Mexico. Its recent capital increase met with strong demand, and a financially powerful potential buyer already has a foot in the door. And what about Evotec? The perennial takeover candidate is still not gaining momentum. That said, the biotech company is benefiting from the sale of one of its own holdings, which is expected to bring in around USD 160 million.

Silver Viper Minerals – The perfect combination of a silver boom, exploration potential, and takeover speculation
All eyes are on silver. Recently, the price per troy ounce almost reached the USD 120 mark. Even though short-term speculation is on the rise, one thing is certain: the silver market is experiencing a sustained and structural supply deficit. All in all, these are favorable conditions for existing and prospective producers. Mexico is the global leader in silver production and is dynamically developing new deposits. Investors can benefit from this situation with Silver Viper Minerals shares. Under the leadership of an experienced management team with a strong track record, the Company is developing large, high-quality silver properties in the Central American country. Further progress is also fueling takeover speculation.

Takeover fever among juniors: Formation Metals, Barrick Mining, and Gold Fields
The price of gold has reached new record highs this year, climbing above USD 4,000 per ounce. This rally is increasingly attracting new groups of investors - not only institutional players but also private investors who until recently focused mainly on tech stocks. In this environment, junior mining companies with promising projects are moving sharply into the spotlight. These juniors, smaller exploration companies without their own production, are widely regarded as the key discoverers of new deposits. In fact, according to asset manager VanEck, between 60 and 70% of all significant gold discoveries originate from junior explorers. Sufficiently capitalized juniors with promising deposits are therefore in strong demand. They offer established producers an efficient way to replenish reserves without carrying out years of costly exploration themselves. One example of such a company is Formation Metals.

AI fantasy, takeover rumors, and a 14% dividend: TKMS, TeamViewer, RE Royalties
Investors can currently expect a 14% dividend yield when buying RE Royalties shares. In addition, the price seems far too low. After all, the Company is increasingly financing renewable energy projects in the US, and the market is booming due to the energy hunger of AI data centers. TeamViewer's stock has not boomed for quite some time. Even after the price halved, the stock has not found a bottom. Can AI fantasy cause investors to rethink their position? TKMS has recently held up well in the sell-off of defense stocks. Now there are takeover rumors. Accordingly, the stock market newcomer is about to take over its neighboring shipyard.

Caution with Plug Power and Gerresheimer! Gold heading toward USD 10,000? What is happening with Formation Metals shares?
Experts see Formation Metals as a potential multi-million-ounce gold story with takeover potential. In addition, the Canadian exploration company's cash position is almost equal to its market capitalization. In contrast, Plug Power's cash burn remains high. Will the stock market be satisfied with the reduction in losses and speculation around AI and energy? And what is Gerresheimer doing? The stock's decline appears to be relentless, with personnel changes having little effect so far. Meanwhile, a drop below the EUR 20 mark is also possible.

Millions for BioNTech and Evotec! But drug development is costly! Is NetraMark the next takeover target?
NetraMark scores again. The Company's AI has convinced yet another biopharma company and is increasingly shaping up as a potential takeover target. The new client will use NetraAI to optimize its clinical trial, cutting both time and costs. The high expense of drug development is clear: BioNTech invested EUR 565 million into its pipeline last quarter. However, the German biotech leader can afford this thanks to billions in its coffers. Analysts still recommend buying the stock. By contrast, even a million-dollar payment from a partner could not give Evotec shares any real momentum. Could today’s figures finally spark a turnaround?
