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

    Almonty Industries: Analyst price targets continue to rise - Now as high as USD 25.80. What is behind the new targets

    It does not happen often that a commodity market that has remained stable for decades suddenly becomes fundamentally disrupted. Yet that is exactly what we are currently witnessing in the tungsten right now. China is curbing exports, the US Department of Defense is banning Chinese tungsten starting in 2027, and prices are surging to historic highs. Amid this perfect storm stands a company that has quietly and persistently been building a Western alternative for years: Almonty Industries. While the world searches for solutions, the Canadian producer has just started operations at its Sangdong mine in South Korea - at precisely the right time and in exactly the right place.

    With volatility at current levels, investors are looking for stable stocks. That is not easy, because on days when oil prices start the morning with a USD 35 premium, stocks are sometimes sold off in a panic. This is a paradise for traders, an opportunity for long-term investors, and a costly mistake for the nervous. This is how modern stock markets operate: AI-driven trading algorithms anticipate possible scenarios based on volatility patterns and reshape order books within milliseconds. For private investors, the key is to keep their nerve and separate the wheat from the chaff. We take a closer look at Evotec, TeamViewer, and Lahontan Gold. Because where there is light, there is also shadow.

    Stock markets have been extremely volatile since the start of the war. They are going up or down on a daily basis. At gas stations, but also in the chemical industry, the consequences are already being felt in the form of higher costs for consumers and industry. But one thing is also clear: in times like these, investors seek safe havens. One beneficiary is the dollar. The greenback has gained ground after a long period of weakness. This appears to be more of a traditional reflex on the part of the markets. Given the high level of US debt, investors have tended to seek refuge in recent years and shift their investments to hard assets such as gold or cash flow-strong stocks. The war appears to have interrupted this debasement trend.
