Where is gold price headed?
Its April 2025 and gold is hitting all time highs day after day! Who knew? Obviously someone
knew, collectively or solo, and now everyone knows. Gold is now one of the best performing assets over the past 25 years after trading under an astonishing $300.00 per ounce back at the turn of the century.
Many times there doesn’t seem to be much rhyme or reason to asset and commodity prices until after the fact and the meteoric rise of the gold price is causing a lot of people to scratch their heads, however here we are.
The next question is which companies are still a bargain in order to make some profit from golds explosive rise? Some people are buying the senior gold mining companies and some are waiting for silver to follow and positioning themselves in silver companies. Some people are taking a very close look at gold juniors since they can be very profitable if you happen to have a substantial position at the right time in the cycle.
As we can see from the XAU/GOLD chart below the correlation between gold miners and gold has been much much higher than the current level. So will the general public discover gold miners and pile in and take their share prices back to the lofty historic levels? There are always value seekers so we shall see.
There are many opportunities and couple juniors we have owned for a number of years, Amex Exploration Inc. (AMX.V) and GTWO Resources (GTWO.TSX) .
Both companies have discovered substantial deposits of gold, AMX in Quebec and GTWO in Guyana. AMX has a glitch when they released their MRE since the estimate was lower than they had been hoping for and the market had been suggesting. However they have charged on and the interest seems to have picked up very recently with volumes and price both increasing.
–
GTWO has been on a steady uptrend for the past year as their discoveries keep getting larger and investors can see that Anglogold has been steadily buying in the open markets.
Both of these juniors are looking healthy and seem to have more upside and possibly substantially more upside as the price of gold continues to rock and roll!
Stay tuned…
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.

Mines and Money 2023
The annual Mines and Money conference could be considered the next significant mining event upcoming up in 2023. It is happening in London England as per usual, this year it takes place from Nov 28th to Nov 30th. Mines and Money/London website link
-Observing this conference can be a good way to “take the temperature” of the junior mining exploration. industry, especially as a precursor to the annual PDAC condference which happens early every March in Toronto.
-Keeping an eye on awards given out at Mines and Money, plus who is getting financed and which sectors are popular can give investors some valuable clues as to where the overall industry is heading.
We will be watching Mines and Money 2023 with a keen eye this year!
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.
More to come from PDAC 2022…
