In this week’s Stockhouse’s Gold Report, we’re profiling a quartet of exploration programs poised to generate positive near-term news flow and foster shareholder value.
We begin with Eagle Plains Resources (TSXV:EPL), a prolific project generator who, after only one day of field work in 2025, discovered a promising gold, silver and copper-mineralized anomaly on its 49-per-cent-owned Orbit Project in British Columbia, yielding up to 3.8 grams per ton (g/t) gold, 130 g/t silver and 0.964 per cent copper. The 300 m of mineralization uncovered represent less than 5 per cent of the anomaly, setting an optimistic tone for follow-up exploration later this year.

By the ounce
At the time of writing on Wednesday, the price of gold was US$4,503.76, according to data from ADVFN, down from US$4,701 per ounce in our May 13th report, falling after the 30-year US treasury hit its highest yield since 2007, combined with US dollar resiliency and the prospects for interest rate hikes remaining elevated to offset inflation linked to oil market disruptions stemming from the US-Israel and Iran war.
This week in gold
Although investors remain concerned about the how the bleak geopolitical situation will affect gold prices, the yellow metal remains up by 36 per cent year-over-year and by 140 per cent since 2021, which is more than enough of an incentive for explorers to turn up ground.
A junior miner worth keeping tabs on is Gold X2 Mining (TSXV:AUXX), whose recent assays from ongoing infill and resource expansion drilling at its Moss gold project in Northwest Ontario yielded up to 27 m of 3.87 g/t gold from 555 m depth, with three of the four reported drillholes hitting wider and higher grades than predicted in the resource model, pointing to significant reource upside. The project is estimated to host 2.458 million ounces of gold indicated and 4.209 million ounces inferred, plus a significant silver endowment.
Also of note is ONGold Resources (TSXV:ONAU), which recently kicked off a phase 1 field exploration program at its Ti-pi-ha-kaa-ning project in Northern Ontario, keen to follow up on high-grade gold, copper and silver mineralization discovered during the 2025 drilling campaign, including a highlight of 3.06 per cent copper, 60.3 g/t silver and 1.50 g/t gold over 1.5 m (318.5 – 320 m) at the West Discovery Zone, as well as 19.39 g/t gold and 1 g/t silver over 8.2 m (11.8-20 m) at the Discovery Zone. The project resides near Orla Mining’s Musselwhite gold mine, which produced more than 200,000 ounces in 2025 and hosts more than 2 million ounces in resources and reserves.
Rounding off this week’s Gold Report is Doubleview Gold (TSXV:DPG), which is in the midst of its most advanced exploration and development program to date on its Hat polymetallic project in British Columbia, including environmental, metallurgical and technical work, setting the stage for a potential pre-feasibility study. The project’s 2026 preliminary economic assessment details an after-tax net present value (5 per cent) of C$13.53 billion at current spot prices, a figure more than 22 times higher than the company’s current market capitalization.
