VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 9, 2025 — Gold smashed through $4,000 per ounce for the first time in history this week, surging more than 50% year‑to‑date as a US government shutdown, anticipated Fed rate cuts and global economic uncertainty have driven unprecedented safe‑haven demand. While bullion prices break records, gold mining companies are seeing outsized margin expansion because production costs have remained relatively stable while metal prices soar, turning most incremental gains in the metal price into near‑pure profit. That dynamic benefits companies across the spectrum from explorers to major producers, including GoldHaven Resources Corp. (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF), Equinox Gold Corp. (NYSE‑American: EQX) (TSX: EQX), IAMGOLD Corporation (NYSE: IAG) (TSX: IMG), Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM) (TSX: NGT), and Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSXV: LG) (OTCQB: LGCXF).
Wall Street analysts have begun revising targets upward. Goldman Sachs projects $4,900 by late 2026, and other market strategists have forecast $4,300 within months as central banks diversify into gold. With rate cuts expected into year‑end, conditions appear favorable for further upward pressure on gold prices. Mining companies with operational leverage to higher metal prices are positioned to capture significant value before the wider market fully prices in the structural shift in precious metals economics.
GoldHaven Resources — maiden drill program underway
GoldHaven Resources Corp. (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) is a Canadian junior exploration company that recently started its first diamond drilling program at the Copeçal Gold Project in Brazil’s Juruena Gold Province — a historically productive belt that has yielded substantial discoveries since the late 1970s. GoldHaven is testing high‑priority targets on a 3,681‑hectare property in Mato Grosso, roughly 60 km from Alta Floresta. The area was previously explored by AngloGold Ashanti, which completed about $1 million of systematic work between 2010 and 2016 and identified a 6‑kilometer gold‑in‑soil anomaly.
The initial hole intersected roughly 30 meters of saprolite before entering strongly sheared, hydrothermally altered basement gneiss with pervasive chlorite, sericite and quartz alteration — classic indicators of hydrothermal systems associated with gold mineralization. Core is being collected and sent to ALS Global for sample preparation in Cuiabá and assaying in Belo Horizonte, with results expected in four to six weeks.
“The start of our maiden drill program marks a transformational milestone for GoldHaven Resources,” said Rob Birmingham, President and CEO. “This follows systematic exploration, including a 107‑hole auger program and VLF surveys that refined our targets and mapped structural controls. Early observations from COP‑25‑001 show the deformation and alteration we hoped to encounter. While we await assays, these geological features validate our targeting model and align with mineralized systems across the Juruena Gold Province.”
The 1,200‑metre program uses NQ‑size diamond core with 5–6 angled holes up to 150 m to test two strike zones (East and West) where gold‑in‑soil anomalies persist across roughly 3 km. GoldHaven also holds additional exploration ground, with a portfolio totalling 123,900 hectares across three Brazilian projects and a 43‑101 technical report for Copeçal.
Other industry updates
Equinox Gold Corp. reported record consolidated production of 236,470 ounces in Q3 2025, citing operational improvements at Greenstone and early production at the Valentine mine. The company reduced debt by US$139 million during the quarter and held US$359 million of cash and equivalents at Sept. 30, 2025.
IAMGOLD Corporation announced assay results from its 2025 drill programs at Nelligan and Monster Lake in central Quebec, with step‑out and infill drilling expanding the mineralized envelope and confirming extensions that keep the deposits open at depth and along strike.
Newmont Corporation achieved first gold pour at its Ahafo North Project in Ghana on Sept. 19, 2025, a key milestone ahead of commercial production expected in Q4 2025. Ahafo North is forecast to deliver roughly 275,000–325,000 ounces annually over a 13‑year mine life.
Lahontan Gold Corp. announced that an Exploration Plan of Operations for its Santa Fe Mine project in Nevada has entered National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review by the Bureau of Land Management. The project hosts a NI‑43‑101 Indicated Mineral Resource of 1,539,000 ounces gold equivalent and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 411,000 ounces gold equivalent.
GoldHaven exploration elsewhere
Alongside the Copeçal program, GoldHaven advanced summer field programs at its Magno and Three Guardsmen projects in northern British Columbia, extending the Magno footprint by 5,159 hectares through targeted staking and continuing regional work designed to generate follow‑up drill targets.
