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

    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.

    Nearly 200% upside potential! RENK, Nordex, and Power Metallic Mines shares under analyst review!

    • Mining
    • PGEs
    • Nickel
    • Defense
    • renewableenergy
    • IPO

    Analysts at Noble Capital Markets believe that Power Metallic Mines shares could rise by almost 200%. This is based on the Nisk project, which has developed from a nickel project into a world-class multi-metal project. Recent nearby drilling results suggest even greater potential. The planned IPO in the US could be an additional driver. Nordex shares are recommended as a "Buy" by mwb research. Although analysts are optimistic and see the wind turbine manufacturer on track operationally, the price target is disappointing. At RENK, the recent analyst call by management appears to have been convincing. Expectations for Q4 and the full year 2025 are likely to be met, unlike recently at Rheinmetall.

    Unpredictable conflict dynamics turn tungsten into a strategic metal – Almonty moves into focus

    The capital markets currently appear paradoxical: record highs for indices, unusually high volatility, and above all, a world order that is shifting faster than any valuation metric. Wars are back and here to stay, trade routes are becoming political and fragile, and sanctions are replacing diplomacy. In this environment, raw materials are once again becoming strategic weapons. While algorithms are still extrapolating growth rates, governments are already thinking about supply scenarios after the crash. In this tense environment, the logic of investing is changing. It is no longer just about supply and demand, but about access, control, and reliability. Who will deliver when the going gets tough? Who will decide who gets what and how much, and who might even be excluded? This is precisely where the major capital movements of the coming years will arise, often away from the familiar mega-caps. A metal that hardly anyone has paid attention to for years is suddenly becoming the focus of technological and military interest. And a company that has long flown under the radar is quietly becoming a strategic factor. Almonty Industries is an example of how geopolitics and capital markets are currently intertwining in new ways and creating dream returns for visionary investors.
