By the ounce

At the time of writing on Wednesday, the price of gold was US$4,193, according to data from ADVFN, down slightly from US$4,255 per ounce in our December 3rd report, holding steady near an all-time-high in anticipation of dovish interest rate decisions from the Bank of Canada and US Federal Reserve.

This week in gold

Other notable gold stories in this week’s report include Walker Lane Resources (TSXV:WLR), a mineral explorer about to drill what the data suggests to be untapped high-grade gold and silver deposits in two of North America’s most prolific mining districts. The contrast between the properties’ multi-kilometre mineralized trends and the stock’s 50 per cent loss since inception bodes well for 2026, contingent on positive news flow.

We also conducted deep dives into TomaGold (TSXV:LOT) and Sranan Gold (CSE:SRAN), a pair of junior gold stocks whose underlying companies are advancing properties prospective for large-scale mineralization apt to usher them beyond micro-cap status. Ongoing exploration, actively tracking what could be significant gold systems, makes the explorers a pair to watch in 2026.

The same can be said for B2Gold (TSX:BTO), Desert Gold Ventures (TSXV:DAU) and Barrick Mining (TSX:ABX), each of which is developing high-value gold projects in Mali under a more stable regulatory environment, following Barrick’s resolution of a multi-year tax dispute with the national government.
