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

    In the eye of the commodities storm: How Aspermont, with its 190-year history, is becoming the data center of the mining industry

    Gold is breaking records, copper is driving the energy transition, and critical raw materials such as rare earths are becoming a geopolitical currency. While investors are considering direct commodity investments, a company that has transformed itself into an indispensable architect of this new era is operating in the background: Aspermont. Once a traditional specialist publisher, the Company has quietly evolved into a data-driven control center for global mining. In a market characterized by resource nationalism and supply chain stress, reliable information is the most valuable commodity. Aspermont delivers just that, not as a cyclical player, but as a provider of critical infrastructure for decision-making. This transformation is complete, financially sound, and meets with a perfect environment.

    Silver Viper Minerals – The perfect combination of a silver boom, exploration potential, and takeover speculation

    • Mining

    • Takeover

    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.

    The Amazon effect in the commodities sector: Why Almonty Industries is on the path to strategic invulnerability

    • Mining
    • Tungsten

    There is an exclusive league of companies whose business models have developed such appeal that they are beyond traditional competition. When consumers think of online retail today, Amazon is almost inevitably the first port of call. When it comes to athletic performance, Nike is the global leader. These corporations have created so-called economic moats that are based not only on marketing, but also on deep integration into our everyday lives. A similar development is now emerging in the strategic raw materials sector, albeit largely unnoticed by the general public. Almonty Industries, a Western producer of the critical metal tungsten, is in the process of establishing a position that is structurally reminiscent of the dominance of the big tech giants. While China has historically controlled the global tungsten market, Almonty is building its Western counterpart with its Sangdong mine in South Korea and other projects. The Company holds the largest tungsten deposit outside China. It combines this geological uniqueness with technological foresight that transforms it from a simple mining company into an indispensable partner for the defense and high-tech industries.
