Gold and silver prices will continue to rise in 2023, as a weaker US dollar and loose monetary policy should drive precious metals higher. There is great joy at Tocvan Ventures in light of the latest drilling results. The team expects the Pilar area to produce similar results to other miners in the region. Precious metals are finding great sales in the solar industry. Investors will learn today the business results of solar panel manufacturer JinkoSolar. The Chinese company has recently been allowed to export to the US again. Commerzbank has to cope with a touch of greenwashing; a district court made a momentous judgement for a subsidiary.

    Tocvan Ventures - Test drilling of Pilar project promising

    Of all metals, silver has the highest electrical conductivity, making it a valuable ingredient for solar cells and electric vehicle (EV) components. The demand for silver in the photovoltaic and electric vehicle industries has grown steadily over the past decade, and experts expect demand to continue to increase in the coming years as these industries gain momentum around the world, especially in developing countries.

    Tocvan Ventures Corp. is an early-stage resource company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. Pilar, a gold-silver property, has recently produced some of the most attractive drill results in the region. Gold values averaging 1.4 g/t were reported from Pilar, up to 8.3 g/t Au. Reported silver values averaged 11 g/t, reported up to 65 g/t Ag. Results will serve as the basis for bulk sampling to obtain a representative mix of material from surface at Pilar.

    From previous surface work and drilling, three primary zones of mineralization have been identified in the northwestern portion of the property, known as the Main, North Hill and 4-T zones. Structural features and zones of mineralization within the structures follow a general NW-SE trend of mineralization. To date, over 22,000 m of drilling has been completed.

    CEO Brodie Sutherland adds: "We are getting a representative picture of what the mineralization looks like at surface at Pilar. And how to extract the gold and silver mineralization. We expect the Pilar area to be comparable to other regional mining operations. At the La Colorada silver mine, which is only 80 km away, the average gold recovery is about 6 g per ton and ranges from about 55% to just over 80%."

    Gold plays a significant role in forward-looking technologies such as solar, aerospace, and electromobility, which will continue to grow in the coming years. Gold is used as a coating on aircraft windshields to reflect infrared radiation. In addition, gold nanoparticles increase the efficiency of solar cells. Combined with promising gold and silver recovery data from metallurgical test work, Pilar is a potential near-term producer.

    CEO Brodie Sutherland walks through the bulk sampling process underway at the Pilar project and explains what this means for the Company's future

    Bombshell at Plug Power! Things are getting "critical" at Standard Lithium and Graphano Energy! Donald Trump is shaking up commodity stocks!

    • Mining
    • graphite
    • CriticalMetals

    • Commodities
    • Energy

    Investors are currently rushing to buy stocks in the rare earths, tungsten, and lithium sectors. The driving force behind this is the US government, which is investing in companies involved in critical raw materials to secure independence from China. Could Graphano Energy be next in line for government participation? In any case, no battery can function without the critical mineral, graphite. Graphano Energy is attractively valued and holds projects in Canada. Standard Lithium is benefiting from the hype surrounding critical metals. After rising more than 60% in four weeks, has a correction now arrived? Plug Power is in the midst of one. This week, the stock fell by over 20%. A capital measure and the surprising departure of the CEO are causing uncertainty.

    Hard to believe, but unfortunately true! Without a single setback, share prices in the AI, high-tech, and strategic metals sectors have been rising unabated for months now. This has led to dream returns, some of which are in the triple digits. The curtain call for this party seems a long way off, while underinvested investors are sitting on billions in idle cash. There is no conclusive advice for such a situation. Fundamental analysts have been sounding the alarm for months, noting that the well-known Shiller P/E ratio, at over 42, has long since broken through the band of irrational exaggeration. But who cares? Here is a selection of stocks that face daily demand, forcing constant appreciation. Of course, as with any party, it only ends when the last guest turns off the lights.

On the stock market, AI and defense remain key drivers. With surprising ease, the price of gold has broken through the USD 4,000 mark - could USD 5,000 be next? Barrick Mining is also continuing its rally, while those looking for undiscovered gems amid this hype should take a closer look at Kobo Resources. The junior explorer could soon become a potential takeover target. In the defense sector, the capital market is waiting for major orders. One such order could now come from the German government. Hensoldt stands among the likely beneficiaries.
