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 and Silver Price Breakouts
It has finally happened, silver has broken out past the Feb 2021 high after a long pullback and consolidation. Gold has broken out weekly gold chart to new all time highs of course as everyone who follows the sector knows by now. This happened back in April 2024 and price per ounce has been appreciating ever since, much to the delight of gold bugs everywhere!
In fact Goldman Sachs just announced their new gold price estimate: Goldman Sachs raises gold price target to S$2,900/oz by early 2025 on sovereign buying, fund flows.
“We reiterate our long gold recommendation due to the gradual boost from lower global interest rates, structurally higher central bank demand and gold’s hedging benefits against geopolitical, financial, and recessionary risks,” the bank said in a note.
Silver on the other hand has just broken out albeit not to all time highs, but nevertheless it has broken out of a significant resistance area. Weekly silver chart.
Now the gold/silver price ratio is still at historically highs of about 82:1 whereas a healthy ratio some investors believe to be as low as 16:1! Therefore many people (experts??) are calling for much higher silver prices and have been doing so for a long time. So these are exciting times for silver buffs and we could see various events coming together for a long awaited bull market in silver and silver mining companies.
Hold on to your hats and lets see what bargains are out there. CJR has been following Mexican based silver producer Avino Silver and Gold Mines for many years. We are currently seeing a breakout above the price going way back to July 2021, with shares trading at $1.56 (cad). CJR does not currently own shares and Avino is not a client. However we may soon own shares since we see this well managed silver producer as a solid way to participate in what looks like a coming silver bull market.
Stay tuned for more info on these exciting breakouts…
