    A detour to the goal

    "Good things come to those who wait!" We already used this quote weeks ago in one of our reports about the exploration company Tembo Gold. The Canadians put a stop to their exploration work for a whole seven years. The reason was the negative attitude of the old government of Tanzania towards the mining sector, which led to delays in exploration programs and a virtual flight of international investors. Now that a new head of state is wielding the wand, there is a gold rush atmosphere. New investment is up 725%, and mining is experiencing an unparalleled renaissance.

    The eponymous Tembo Gold Project is located in Tanzania's Lake Victoria goldfield alongside some of the world's largest high-grade gold deposits, Barrick Gold's Bulyanhulu mine and AngloGold Ashanti's Geita gold mine. Tembo Gold's management used the downtime to expand the property from 110 sq km to 174 sq km. In addition, 54 new drill targets were identified using artificial intelligence technology. Since October, Tembo Gold has been revamping its mining camp to resume a** 7,000m drilling program to follow up on previous drilling totaling 50,000m.

    Spectacular Barrick Deal

    Now that Tembo Gold is back on track operationally, an accolade for the Company followed with the currently announced news. For USD 6 million, Barrick is acquiring from Tembo a total of six licenses directly adjacent to Barrick's world-class Bulyanhulu mine in Tanzania! A six-pointer in the lottery for the exploration company that has been shaken in the past.

    In addition, Barrick will become a shareholder of Tembo. Upon signing the purchase agreement, Barrick's subsidiary Bulyanhulu Gold Mine Limited agreed to subscribe for common shares of Tembo in a private placement at a price of CAD 0.27 per common share. Barrick is acquiring a total of 5,518,764 shares, bringing its stake in the company to 5.5%. The future of the partnership with the major also looks bright. The world's second-largest gold producer made a commitment to invest at least USD 9 million in the newly acquired license area over the course of four years following the closing of the transaction. In a best-case scenario, Tembo Gold could draw a total contingency of USD 45 million from this.

    Tembo's share market capitalization is currently a manageable EUR 17.39 million. So far, the market has not yet recognized the potential of this historic deal. In view of a rising gold price, Tembo is certainly an interesting stock to add to a portfolio.

    Historic deal in the vaccine sector

    Vaccine manufacturer Valneva is also going from strength to strength. In the young history of the Company, this would also be a historic step. The vaccine producer has signed a new preliminary agreement for its vaccine VLA2001. Bahrain wants to order the inactivated vaccine, which would mark the first deal outside Europe.

    Valneva has reportedly initiated a rolling approval process with the Bahrain National Health Authority (NHRA). Franck Grimaud, chief business officer at the European vaccine developer, is considering a delivery for the first quarter of 2022, according to the press release. In total, the Middle Eastern kingdom wants one million doses of the inactivated vaccine. A recommended report on vaccine manufacturer Valneva is currently available to read at researchanalyst.com.


    Although the gold price is still consolidating, a lot is happening in the background in the gold market. The big gold producers are sitting on mountains of cash and want to put this into acquisitions. Tembo Gold reached a milestone with the entry of Barrick Gold. Valneva is getting more and more encouragement for its dead vaccine.

    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?
