Gold Hitting New All Times Highs in 2025!

Gold has been hitting new all-time highs in early 2025 due to several key factors. Central banks worldwide are aggressively buying gold, reducing reliance on the US dollar amid geopolitical tensions. The US Federal Reserve’s shift towards cutting interest rates makes gold more attractive compared to yield-bearing assets. Inflation concerns continue to drive investors to gold as a hedge.
-Additionally, global economic uncertainty and potential US policy changes under President Trump, including tariffs and spending, add to the bullish sentiment. These elements combined suggest a strong demand for gold, pushing prices to historic levels as forecasted by various analysts.

PDAC 2022 is live!

Lots of action happening this year with hundreds of exploration companies set up on the exhibition side and the PDAC trade show section full of the usual service providers.
Expecting attendance to pick up tomorrow on the floor. There are many juniors in a great position to gain market cap value it would appear since the whole sector in general has been sliding for months and months it seems.
What they call ‘the fluff’ has really been gone from the sector for a long time because of the extended bear market in junior mineral exploration in general, with juniors such as Scottie Resources Corp. (SCOT-TSXV trading at .18 cents) displaying some really impressive drill results at their Golden Triangle properties. Results are showing very good consistency and talking to their CEO gives one a sense that he is going to get the job done properly.
