, /PRNewswire/ -- A2Gold Corp. ("A2Gold" or the "Company") (TSXV: AUAU) (OTCQX: AUXXF) (FRA: RR7) is pleased to announce the completion of its 2026 drill program at the Taylor Gold-Silver Project ("Taylor" or the "Project") in White Pine County, Nevada. The Company completed 15 reverse-circulation ("RC") drill holes totaling approximately 4,400 metres.
Figure 1: Taylor District Claim Map and Mineralization Zones With drilling now completed at Taylor, the drill rig is being mobilized to the Company's flagship Eastside Project near Tonopah, Nevada, where the Company expects to commence an approximately 3,700-metre RC drill program at Target Pente.
Taylor Drill Program Completed
The recently completed program represents A2Gold's first drill campaign at Taylor since acquiring the Project earlier this year. The program was designed to test priority targets identified through the integration of historical drilling, geological information and geophysical data (Figure 1).
A total of 15 RC holes were completed for approximately 4,400 metres. Samples from the drill program have been submitted for laboratory analysis, with assay results pending. The Company expects to report results as they are received, reviewed and interpreted.
In addition to testing the primary drill targets, the program will provide A2Gold with important new geological information to further refine its understanding of the broader mineralized system at Taylor and assist in planning future exploration programs.
Drilling to Commence at Target Pente (Eastside Project)
Following completion of the Taylor program, the drill rig is now being mobilized to A2Gold's flagship Eastside Project, where drilling at Target Pente is expected to commence shortly.
The planned program will consist of approximately 3,700 metres of RC drilling and represents the next phase of A2Gold's 2026 exploration program at Eastside.
Target Pente is one of several high-priority exploration targets identified across the Company's extensive Eastside land package. The program is designed to test the potential for higher-grade epithermal feeder faults and veins, consistent with A2Gold's strategy of targeting higher-grade mineralization within the broader Eastside district rather than simply expanding the known bulk-tonnage mineralized system.
The Company believes that Eastside's large alteration footprint, multiple known centers of mineralization and extensive areas that remain underexplored provide significant opportunities for additional discoveries.
Peter Gianulis, CEO of A2Gold, commented: "The completion of approximately 4,400 metres across 15 holes at Taylor represents an important milestone for A2Gold and our first drill program at the Project since completing the acquisition earlier this year. We look forward to receiving the assay results and incorporating this new information into our understanding of the broader Taylor mineralized system. Importantly, our exploration program continues without interruption. The rig is now being mobilized directly to Eastside to begin drilling Target Pente. Our strategy at Eastside is increasingly focused on testing higher-grade feeder fault and vein targets within this very large epithermal system. Pente represents the next of these targets to be drill tested as we systematically evaluate the broader potential of the Eastside district."

Kolem vývoje cen zlata existuje řada teorií, někdy s poněkud protichůdnou logikou a závěry. Před několika měsíci spatřila světlo světa studie, která se věnuje docela důležitému rozporu – vztahu zlata k inflaci na straně jedné a sazbám na straně druhé. Podívejme se na ní. V současném nastavení může mít hodně co říci.
Jak se o zlatu dá uvažovat nyní? Tedy pokud dáme stranou veškeré přemítání o prodejích a nákupech zeměmi Blízkého východu se zablokovanými ropnými příjmy, nákupy ze strany centrálních bank, dedolarizaci a podobně. Tedy pokud zůstaneme u starých dobrých tezí o zlatu, inflaci a sazbách? Tato úvaha ukazuje na určitý paradox, kdy proti sobě mohou jít efekty inflace a sazeb. Vyšší inflaci si totiž spojujeme s vyššími sazbami, jejich vliv na zlato je ale v tradičním vnímání opačný.
Dejme konkrétně tomu, že by inflační tlaky vytvářené pokračující sérií přechodných faktorů nepřecházely, nebo dokonce sílily. V tradiční logice by to mělo znamenat vyšší, či pokračující vysokou atraktivitu žlutého kovu. Ale dejme také tomu, že tato situace bude vytvářet i tlak na vyšší nominální i reálné sazby. Kvůli nepřecházející vyšší inflaci i vyšší inflační nejistotě (vyšší časové prémie). Ale třeba i kvůli tomu, jak se vyvíjí vládní finance a jak se posunulo vnímání dluhové trajektorie u veřejnosti a politiků (vyšší rizikové prémie). Pak tu máme dva klíčové faktory, které historicky významně ovlivňovaly cenu zlata, a které by nyní šly proti sobě. Vyšší sazby by měly táhnout zlato dolů, ale inflace nahoru. Co k tomu říká zmíněná studie?
V „Is gold a hedge or safe-haven for inflation? Time-varying correlation in a multi-frequency framework“ její autoři Xingying Xu, Chenyue Zhou a Yinglun Zhu mimo jiné píšou: „Ve velmi dlouhých horizontech přesahujících 128 měsíců jsou korelace mezi zlatem a inflací obecně pozitivní. Pozitivní jsou od roku 1968 do roku 2020, ale po roce 2020 se stávají zápornými… Ve střednědobém a dlouhém horizontu 32–128 měsíců jsou korelace vysoce volatilní a silně ovlivněné režimy úrokových sazeb.“
K tomu pak autoři studie dodávají: „Vysoké reálné úrokové sazby tlumí nebo dokonce obracejí vztah mezi zlatem a inflací prostřednictvím zvýšených nákladů na držbu zlata.“ Mimochodem studie také tvrdí, že „směnný kurz EUR/USD vykazuje silnější potenciál pro zajištění proti inflaci než zlato v horizontech kratších než 128 měsíců. A futures na sóju v posledním desetiletí do značné míry ztratily svůj význam z hlediska takového zajištění.
Minimálně bychom tedy mohli říct, že sledoval jen inflaci ani zdaleka nestačí, reálné sazby hrají významnou, nebo dokonce rozhodující roli. Takže zbývá jen podívat se na aktuální vývoj reálných sazeb – v následujícím grafu od FREDu jsou odhady těch desetiletých od Fedu provedené na základě inflace a inflačních očekávání:
A vlastně zbývá ještě jedno – připomenout právě to, kolik teorií a skutečně působících faktorů se nyní kolem zlata zřejmě točí (viz výše). Efekt inflace a/nebo sazeb sám o sobě nemusí v takovém prostředí dominovat.

Integrating our mapping, sampling and structural interpretation will help us refine these targets and focus the next phase of exploration. In parallel, we are developing an integrated geological and geochemical model at Fenn-Gib to better understand the deposit and guide exploration across the broader property. We are encouraged by the South Block's potential and look forward to testing the targets developed through this work.
2026 Exploration Program
The 2026 exploration program focused on advancing the geological understanding of the North and South blocks (see figures 1 and 2 below) through systematic geological mapping, prospecting, sampling, and compilation of historical data. Over 95% of known outcrops across both blocks were reviewed, mapped and selectively sampled, providing extensive coverage of the property and adding significantly to the geological dataset available for ongoing interpretation and targeting.
A total of 127 grab samples were collected across the North and South blocks, including selected samples for gold assay and multi-element geochemical analysis. Geological and structural observations recorded during fieldwork focused on documenting structural features, lithology, alteration, and mineralization. The results of this work are being integrated with existing historical datasets to build a more complete understanding of the property.
A structural targeting program is also underway and has identified a number of areas for further evaluation. These targets are being integrated with the results of the summer mapping and sampling program to help refine areas for potential follow-up geological, geochemical, and geophysical work.
The Company is currently finalizing plans for its fall and winter exploration programs.

* True Thickness for condemnation drilling is unknown.
Efforts are underway to build a comprehensive 3D model integrating geology and a multi-element database. To date, over 900 inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry assays (ICP-MS) have been taken in and around the main Fenn-Gib deposit. Mayfair is continuing to expand the database and model key elements to strengthen the geo-metallurgy model. The final product will also serve in vectoring pathfinder elements to support exploration efforts on the property scale.
Acid-based accounting assays (ABA) are also being included to further support and strengthen the various environmental baseline studies.
Finally, the previously reported grade control program yielded favorable results (see news release dated June 18, 2026). Mayfair is currently considering options to capitalise on those results and potentially do targeted infill drilling to pursue that program.
Quality Assurance and Quality Control
Mayfair Gold maintains a Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) program aligned with NI 43-101 requirements and industry best practices. NQ size surface drilling was carried out by Black Diamond Drilling of Matheson, Ontario, and by Wiijiiwaagan Drilling Limited Partnerships of Haileybury, Ontario, under the supervision of Mayfair Gold's exploration team. The drill program includes detailed geological logging and systematic sampling of drill core at Mayfair's secure facility in Matheson, Ontario.
Drill core selected for analysis was cut longitudinally using a diamond‑blade saw. One half of the core was retained in the core box for reference, and the other half was bagged, sealed, and prepared for shipment. Analytical work was completed by Swastika Laboratories Ltd. in Swastika, Ontario. Swastika Laboratories is independent of Mayfair Gold and accredited by the Canadian Association for Laboratory Accreditation Inc. (CALA) and meets the ISO/IEC 17025 standards for gold analysis by fire assay with gravimetric finish and fire assay with flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS) finish.
Samples were delivered directly to Swastika Laboratories by Mayfair personnel. Samples are crushed to minimum 80% passing 1,700 μm. Samples are then split to obtain a 300–500 g sample using a rotary divider. 300–500 g samples are pulverized to minimum 85% passing 74 μm. Gold assays were completed using a 30‑gram fire assay with FAAS finish. Samples returning gold grades greater than 10 g/t were re‑assayed using a 30‑gram fire assay with gravimetric finish. As part of Mayfair's QA/QC protocol, one certified reference material (CRM), one coarse blank, and one coarse duplicate sample were inserted into the sequence of every 25 samples. Routine third‑party check assays are also performed.
True thickness for condemnation drilling is unknown.
Mayfair Gold is a Canadian development-stage gold company focused on advancing the 100% controlled Fenn-Gib Project in the Timmins region of Northern Ontario. Fenn-Gib hosts a 4.3 million ounce indicated mineral resource of gold (181.3Mt at an average grade of 0.74 g/t) and the expected strategy outlined in the 2026 Pre-Feasibility Study (the "PFS")1 is to develop the project under the provincial permitting process, targeting the higher-grade 1 million ounce probable mineral reserve (25.1Mt at an average grade of 1.29g/t) sitting near-surface, highlighting the optionality and scalability provided by the deposit. The PFS also outlines the potential to develop Fenn-Gib into a new Canadian gold producer, with initial development capital of C$450 million, a base-case payback period of 2.7 years, and cumulative free cash flow2 of US$896 million over the first six years of production based on a US$3,100/oz gold price. The Company is advancing permitting activities, detailed engineering, and stakeholder engagement with the goal of starting construction in 2028 with initial production in 2030. The company also remains focused on exploration around the broader land package with the goal of enhancing mineral resource scale and growth opportunities.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 8, 2026) - Rua Gold Inc. (TSX: RUA) (NZX: RGI) (OTCQX: NZAUF) (WKN: A40QYC) ("RUA GOLD" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its Auld Creek gold-antimony project (the "Auld Creek Project") in Reefton, New Zealand.
RUA GOLD's exploration team has completed 19,600m of drilling, primarily focused on improving the confidence of Mineral Resource and provide detailed data for the geotechnical, hydrological and metallurgical studies supporting the pre-feasibility study ("PFS") required for the Company's Fast-Track Approvals Mining Application. Following the July 2026 announcement1 that the Auld Creek Project had been accepted as a listed project under New Zealand's Fast-Track Approvals regime, the Company remains on track to execute on its strategy and submit its substantive application in October 2026 and publish the PFS in December 2026.
Highlights:
Four drill rigs continue testing the growing resource, which remains open in all directions.
RUA GOLD’s exploration team has completed 19,600m of resource drilling, exceeding its 19,000m target.
Highlighted assay results from drilling at Auld Creek include:
ACDDH086: 2.7m @ 23.2 g/t AuEq2 (15.4 g/t Au & 3.6% Sb) from 249m
ACDDH103: 7.0m @ 9.9 g/t AuEq2 (5.7 g/t Au & 2.0% Sb) from 133m
ACDDH104: 32.0m @ 2.4 g/t AuEq2 (2.1 g/t Au & 0.1% Sb) from 332m
ACDDH106: 11.3m @ 5.7 g/t Au (incl 0.8m @ 17.65g/t Au) from 159m
ACDDH107: 1.9m @ 22.7 g/t AuEq2 (10.1 g/t Au & 5.8% Sb) from 249.55m
ACDDH108: 11.3m @ 6.11 g/t Au from 256m
ACDDH111: 4.5m @ 12.6 g/t AuEq2 (5.8 g/t Au & 3.1% Sb) from 138m
ACDDH112: 2.9m @ 38.8 g/t AuEq2 (9.3 g/t Au & 13.7% Sb) from 226m
ACDDH119: 0.6m @ 136.2 g/t AuEq2 (82.9 g/t Au & 24.8% Sb) from 237.6m
Ultra-detailed geological and structural studies have significantly improved the Company’s understanding of the orientation of high-grade mineralized shoots, contributing to a high drill-targeting success rate and improved intercept grades.
Localised mineralized zones exceeding 20m in width support the potential scale and continuity of the resource. Drilling has also returned exceptionally high individual grades and the first observations of visible gold at the Auld Creek Project.
Assay results from a further 18 drill holes are pending and will contribute to the updated Mineral Resource estimate anticipated in Q4 2026.
The Company remains on track to submit its substantive application under New Zealand’s Fast-Track Approvals regime in October 2026.
Robert Eckford, Chief Executive Officer of RUA GOLD, commented: "These exceptional exploration results are informing the mine plan and reinforcing the significant development potential of the Auld Creek Project. The deposit continues to exceed our expectations and remains open in all directions. Our improved understanding of the orientation of the high-grade mineralized shoots will be crucial as we advance the next phase of drilling. The occurrence of visible gold is particularly encouraging and suggests that grades may improve with depth."

Table 1: Significant intercepts from recent Auld Creek drilling.
Recent drilling continues to demonstrate the potential to expand the Auld Creek gold-antimony resource, which extends over 1,000m in length and to a depth of more than over 500m. Following completion of the planned 19,600m drill program, and encouraged by the exceptional results received to date, the Company will continue drilling with four rigs during the fourth quarter of 2026 to test the deposit along strike and at depth.
Drill targeting was guided by detailed structural mapping used to interpret the orientation and plunge of the prospective high-grade mineralized shoots. Stereonet plotting of the dips and strikes within the main Fraternal Fault zone indicates an overall orientation of 186°/84°W. The analysis also indicates that the shears and breccias intersecting the Fraternal Fault are orientated at 354° with a moderate plunge.
Drilling based on these structural guides have demonstrated strong continuity of mineralization along the interpreted orientations and a high success rate in testing planned targets.

Two features of the recent drilling program are particularly notable:
Certain mineralized shoots demonstrate increasing gold and antimony grades, including intervals where visible gold has been observed (Zone 1 - Figure 2).
Mineralized widths increase in certain areas, with discrete hanging wall and footwall zones of higher antimony mineralization enveloping a broad zone grading of approximately 2-3 g/t Au (Zone 2 - Figure 2).

The resource drilling program also incorporates the geotechnical, hydrological and metallurgical studies required for the PFS, including rock strength testing, specific gravity and ore zone characterization. This work is substantially complete and will support the Company's forthcoming Fast-Track Approvals application and the filing of the required NI 43-101 technical reports.

Key Takeaways Gold.com says softer precious-metals demand persisted through the first two months of fiscal 2027.Tether is adding storage, trading and lease volume for Gold.com, though at lower margins.Gold.com aims to deploy Tether leases over six to nine months while integrating Sunshine Minting. Gold.com, Inc. (GOLD - Free Report) used its fiscal Q4 2026 earnings call to emphasize softer precious-metals demand after a strong third quarter, with the slowdown continuing into the first two months of fiscal 2027. CEO Gregory Roberts said the business remains healthy.
Management also focused on Tether, metal-lease deployment, M&A and Sunshine Minting integration.
GOLD Faces a Softer Start to Fiscal 2027Roberts said demand began slowing from mid-March into early April, persisted through fiscal Q4 and continued through the first two months of fiscal Q1 2027. Higher interest rates were also weighing on gold and silver prices, while retail dip-buying remained muted.
CFO Cary Dickson said fiscal Q4 revenues rose 99% year over year to $5 billion and gross profit increased 35% to $110.3 million, while EBITDA declined 3% to $28.2 million.
Reported earnings of $0.83 per share missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.96 by 13.50%. Revenues of $5 billion missed the consensus mark of $7.76 billion by 35.5%.
Gold.com Sees Tether Scaling at Lower MarginsA ROTH Capital Partners analyst asked how Tether contributed during the quarter. Roberts said Gold.com is providing storage, trading and precious-metal lease services, adding volume but at lower margins.
Roberts said current lease and storage positions are at multiples of the levels disclosed when the relationship was announced. He described fiscal Q4 as an early period for developing the partnership.
A Canaccord Genuity analyst pressed for more detail on scale. Roberts would not quantify further, but said the companies are exploring additional opportunities, including digital products.
GOLD Targets Better Lease DeploymentA Northland Capital Markets analyst asked when financing savings tied to Tether would emerge. Roberts said Gold.com had not yet recognized some savings as metal leases increase and reliance on its dollar credit facility declines.
Roberts said the market returned to contango after backwardation eased as prices fell in March and April. Excess leases can create added costs when they are not matched against inventory that requires hedging.
Over the next six to nine months, management’s priority is to deploy the Tether leases and earn returns above related costs. Roberts said the benefits should take a couple of quarters to become more visible.
Gold.com Keeps M&A and Dividends at PlayA Maxim Group analyst asked about capital allocation after the company declared a $1 special dividend while maintaining its $0.20 quarterly dividend. Roberts said Gold.com remains committed to the regular dividend and may return more capital after exceptional periods.
On repurchases, Roberts said management would consider buying shares when the market price offers a discount to book value. He referenced book value approaching $1 billion.
Roberts also said the company’s active M&A posture is not slowing. Short-term market slowdowns, he added, can create acquisition opportunities as potential sellers become less satisfied with their performance.
GOLD Looks to Retail and Collectibles for GrowthA D.A. Davidson analyst asked about major retailers and new channels. Roberts said the Costco business remains strong and highlighted Gold.com’s ability to support it through minting, logistics and trading.
He also pointed to newer digital retail platforms using social media and gamification to sell bullion and collectibles. Management sees those channels as a way to reach younger customers as new customer acquisition has slowed.
A Canaccord analyst asked about collectibles. Roberts said Stack’s Bowers was in one of its largest auction weeks, with more than $50 million of products expected to sell over five to six days. Sports cards remain another area for expansion.
Gold.com Stays Focused on IntegrationRoberts framed fiscal 2027 around integrating acquisitions, optimizing the platform and capturing synergies from Sunshine Minting. He said Sunshine expands production capacity and supports Gold.com’s ability to serve sovereign mints and its own brands.
Management remained confident on long-term growth but cautious about near-term demand. The call emphasized flexibility across retail, wholesale, lending, minting and M&A rather than evenly distributed quarterly performance.
GOLD’s Zacks Signals Remain BalancedGOLD currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), a more neutral near-term earnings-revision signal than the stronger Zacks Rank #1 or #2 categories.You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It has a Value Score of A, Growth Score of A, Momentum Score of B and VGM Score of A.
The A and B Style Scores are favorable readings, while the VGM Score combines value, growth and momentum characteristics. Style Scores are designed to complement the Zacks Rank, not replace it. The Zacks Rank can change as analysts revise estimates after the just-reported results.

COSTA MESA, Calif., Sept. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gold.com, Inc. (NYSE: GOLD), (“Gold.com” or the “Company”), a fully integrated alternative assets platform that offers an extensive range of precious metals, numismatic coins, and collectibles to consumers, collectors, and institutional clients worldwide, reported results for the fiscal fourth quarter and full year ended June 30, 2026.
Management Commentary
“Fiscal 2026 was a transformational year highlighted by continued growth through both organic expansion and strategic acquisitions, our rebranding to Gold.com, and outstanding financial results that underscored the strength of our vertically integrated model,” said Gold.com CEO Greg Roberts. “Fourth quarter performance was solid as we delivered net income of $12.2 million and earnings per diluted share of $0.41, even as market conditions softened.
“We saw continued growth in our storage and secured lending businesses during the year. Both businesses carry attractive economics and deepen relationships with customers who may transact across the rest of our platform. We also continued to grow our business with major retailers and institutional customers, as a result of strategic investments in our trading and logistics platforms.
“Completing the acquisition of Sunshine Minting (“SMI”) in April was a major milestone that significantly expands our total production capacity and creates a clear pathway to capturing additional value and market share globally. With its state-of-the art facilities and strong capabilities and capacity, SMI is well positioned to serve the growing demand from the United States Mint and other sovereign mints around the world, along with capitalizing on the opportunities across our portfolio of brands.
“Underlying trends across our business remain strong and we are well positioned for broad-based growth and delivering long-term value to our shareholders.”

Excluding an increase of $0.9 billion of forward sales, our revenues increased $1.596 billion, or 94%, which was due to higher average selling prices of gold and silver as well as an increase in gold ounces sold, partially offset by a decrease in silver ounces sold. Revenues also increased due to the acquisitions of Monex in January 2026 and SMI in April 2026.
Gross profit increased 35% to $110.3 million (2.20% of revenue) from $81.7 million (3.25% of revenue) in the same year-ago quarter. The overall gross profit increase was due to an increase in gross profits earned by both the Wholesale Sales & Ancillary Services segment and the Direct-to-Consumer segment, including the acquisitions of Monex and SMI, which were not included in the same year-ago period. The Direct-to-Consumer segment contributed 66% and 63% of the consolidated gross profit in the fiscal fourth quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 46% to $77.9 million from $53.4 million in the same year-ago quarter. The change was primarily due to an increase in compensation expense (including performance-based accruals) of $17.1 million, higher advertising costs of $2.2 million, an increase in insurance costs of $2.7 million, consulting and professional fees of $1.4 million, an increase in facilities expense of $0.5 million, and an increase in bank service and credit card fees of $0.2 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 included $8.2 million of expenses incurred by Monex and SMI, which were not included in the same year-ago period. Excluding the increase from newly acquired subsidiaries, our selling, general and administrative expenses increased $16.3 million from the prior year period.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased 18% to $10.1 million from $8.6 million in the same year-ago quarter. The change was primarily due to an increase in depreciation expense of $1.2 million due to an increase in capital expenditures, an increase in amortization expense of $1.9 million relating to an increase in intangible asset amortization from intangible assets acquired through our acquisitions of Monex and SMI, partially offset by a decrease of $1.6 million in SGI, AMS and SGB intangible asset amortization.
Interest income increased 40% to $7.5 million from $5.3 million in the same year-ago quarter. The aggregate increase in interest income was due to an increase in interest income earned by our Secured Lending segment of $0.8 million, a $0.7 million increase in interest income earned by our DTC segment, and a $0.6 million increase in interest earned by our Wholesale Sales & Ancillary Services segment.
Interest expense increased 3% to $13.2 million from $12.9 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase of $5.3 million related to precious metals leases driven by higher overall borrowings, partially offset by a decrease in interest rates, higher interest and fees of $0.8 million related to product financing arrangements due to higher interest rates and fees, and an increase of $0.7 million of other related interest charges, partially offset by a decrease of $6.4 million associated with our Trading Credit Facility due to reduced borrowings.
Earnings (losses) from equity method investments increased 364% to earnings of $2.0 million from a loss of $0.8 million in the same year-ago quarter.
Net income attributable to the Company totaled $12.2 million or $0.41 per diluted share, compared to net income of $10.3 million or $0.41 per diluted share in the same year-ago quarter.
Adjusted net income before provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2026 totaled $24.7 million, an increase of $5.6 million or 29% compared to $19.2 million in the same year-ago quarter.
EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2026 totaled $28.2 million, a decrease of $1.0 million or 3% compared to $29.2 million in the same year-ago quarter.
Fiscal Full Year 2026 Financial Summary
Revenues increased 132% to $25.513 billion from $10.979 billion in the prior fiscal year. Excluding an increase of $8.323 billion of forward sales, our revenues increased $6.205 billion, or 95%, which was due to higher average selling prices of gold and silver as well as an increase in gold ounces sold, partially offset by a decrease in silver ounces sold.

Gross profit increased 115% to $453.1 million (1.78% of revenue) in fiscal year 2026 from $210.9 million (1.92% of revenue) in the prior year.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased 52% to $34.8 million from $22.9 million in fiscal year 2025.

Interest income decreased 1% to $25.6 million from $25.9 million in the prior fiscal year. The aggregate decrease in interest income was due to a $2.4 million decrease in interest earned by our Wholesale Sales & Ancillary Services segment, partially offset by an increase in interest earned by our Secured Lending segment of $1.0 million and an increase in interest earned by our DTC segment of $1.1 million.
Interest expense increased 32% to $61.1 million from $46.2 million in fiscal year 2025.

Important Cautions Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this press release that relate to future plans, objectives, expectations, performance, events and the like are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These include statements regarding expectations with respect to growth, increasing market share and the delivery of long-term value. Future events, risks and uncertainties, individually or in the aggregate, could cause actual results or circumstances to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include the following: The failure to execute the Company’s growth strategy, including the inability to identify suitable or available acquisition or investment opportunities; greater than anticipated costs incurred to execute this strategy; our inability to execute on our cost containment and expense reduction programs; government regulations that might impede growth, particularly in Asia, including with respect to tariff policy; the inability to successfully integrate our recently acquired businesses; changes in the current international political climate, which historically has favorably contributed to demand and volatility in the precious metals markets but also has posed certain risks and uncertainties for the Company; increased competition for the Company’s higher margin services, which could depress pricing; the failure of the Company’s business model to respond to changes in the market environment as anticipated; changes in consumer demand and preferences for precious metal products generally; potential negative effects that inflationary pressure may have on our business; the failure of our investee companies to maintain, or address the preferences of, their customer bases; general risks of doing business in the commodity markets; and the strategic, business, economic, financial, political and governmental risks and other Risk Factors described in in the Company’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to presenting the Company’s financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management believes the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s operating performance: “adjusted net income before provision for income taxes” and “earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization” (“EBITDA”). Management believes the “adjusted net income before provision for income taxes” non-GAAP financial performance measure assists investors and analysts by facilitating comparison of period-to-period operational performance on a consistent basis by excluding items that management does not believe are indicative of the Company’s core operating performance. The items excluded from this financial measure may have a material impact on the Company’s financial results. Certain of those items are non-recurring, while others are non-cash in nature. Management believes the EBITDA non-GAAP liquidity measure assists investors and analysts by facilitating comparison of our business operations before investing activities, interest, and income taxes with other publicly traded companies. Non-GAAP measures do not have standardized definitions and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the comparable measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K to be filed with the SEC. Management encourages investors and others to review the Company’s financial information in its entirety and not to rely on any single financial or liquidity measure.
In the Company’s reconciliation from its reported U.S. GAAP “net income before provision for income taxes” to its non-GAAP “adjusted net income before provision for income taxes”, the Company eliminates the impact of the following five amounts: acquisition costs; amortization expenses related to intangible assets acquired; depreciation expense; remeasurement gains or losses related to pre-existing equity interests; and contingent consideration fair value adjustments. The Company’s reconciliations from its reported U.S. GAAP “net income before provision for income taxes” to its non-GAAP “adjusted net income before provision for income taxes”, and “net income” and “net cash provided by (used in) operating activities” to its non-GAAP “EBITDA” are provided below and are also included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K to be filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Denarius Metals Corp. (Cboe CA: DMET) (OTCQX: DNRSF) ("Denarius Metals" or the "Company") provided an update today on the drill results from its ongoing surface in-fill diamond drilling program on the Las Brisas Target at its Zancudo Project in Colombia. The most notable intercept was achieved in drill hole ZM-210 which returned continuous Au mineralization over approximately 33 m from 203.0 m to 235.95 m grading 5.68 g/t Au, including 20.18 g/t Au over 3.10 m from 229.0 m to 232.10 m (Santa Catalina Splay) and 26.35 g/t Au over 2.50 m from 233.45 m to 235.95 m (Santa Catalina) with additional continuous intervals of 1 g/t to 6 g/t Au in the hanging wall and between the two main structures.

Long-section showing the ore-shoots on the Santa Catalina structure Serafino Iacono, Executive Chairman of Denarius Metals, commented, "The thick, high-grade interval in ZM-210, the hanging-wall mineralization and the emerging Manto Antiguo Lower structure, all identified in the latest round of drilling, continue to demonstrate the high-grade continuity and upside of the Santa Catalina and Manto Antiguo systems and the potential for resource growth at our Zancudo Project".
The results announced today have been received from the final assays for additional 8 drill holes from the Las Brisas Target totaling approximately 1,610 meters, bringing the total drilling completed to date at the Zancudo Project to 2,270 meters in 12 drill holes. This press release presents complete results from drill holes ZM-200 through ZM-206, and preliminary Au results for drill hole ZM-210, which were drilled as in-fill holes from platforms IF-08, IF-12 and IF-05 to primarily test the Manto Antiguo and Santa Catalina structures. Approximately 40% of the total surface in-fill drilling program at the Las Brisas Target for this year has been completed by mid-August, the cut-off date for results reported in this press release. The 2026 drilling program aims to tighten drill spacing within the Las Brisas Target to 50 meters between drill centers, allowing for the potential reclassification of resources to higher confidence classification categories in the next mineral resource update.

A local dextral reverse fault has been interpreted in the southern portion of the Las Brisas Target (drilled from platform IF12). This explains repetition of the mineralized structures and host rocks and has implications for domain modeling and future resource estimation. Significant intercepts of the subparallel Manto Antiguo Lower structure support its potential to contribute additional Indicated Resources. Las Brisas Target – Details of the Latest Drilling Results
The Las Brisas Target represents an unexploited block within the Manto Antiguo structure preserved by past mining. The in-fill drilling program for the Las Brisas Target has been designed at 50x50 meters drill centers from eight platforms (IF-5 to IF-12) aimed at better delineating and confirming the consistency of mineralization on the orebodies outlined by previous drilling on the Manto Antiguo and Santa Catalina structures, of which the Manto Antiguo orebody is controlled by the intersection of the Manto Antiguo and Santa Catalina structures and which usually shows wider and higher-grade intercepts. Drill hole ZM-210, based on the initial Au results, has outlined the potential for a wide mineralized zone in the hanging wall of the Santa Catalina structure, hosted in a sedimentary interval bounded by schists on both sides. An adjacent drill hole (ZM-213) is in process to follow up on this potential mineralized zone. Drilling carried out from platform IF-12 has allowed the identification of a dextral reverse fault based on the repetition of the lithological sequence that usually hosts the Santa Catalina mineralized structure, which comprises an andesitic dike and the tectonic contact between the sedimentary sequence and the chloritic schist. The interpreted reverse fault plane strikes NE-SW, with a shallow dip to the W, which results in offsetting the Santa Catalina, Manto Antiguo and Manto Antiguo Lower structures by approximately 40 meters. The mineralization characteristics, such as the presence of pyrite, arsenopyrite, galena, and sphalerite, as well as the same type of alteration, are preserved on both sides of the fault zone in all the known mineralized structures, providing a basis for supporting their continuity across both blocks. The continuity of the structures to the west of this area will be corroborated by the designed brownfield drilling to be carried out later this year. Drilling carried out from platform IF-12 was successful in confirming and extending to the SE the high-grade nature of the orebody outlined by previous drilling on the Manto Antiguo structure. Multiple high gold grades were intersected with maximum intersection grades of 10.72 g/t Au and 247.0 g/t Ag over 0.85 meters (ZM-201) and 16.65 g/t Au and 48.0 g/t Ag over 0.30 meters on Manto Antiguo (ZM-206). High-grade mineralization associated with Manto Antiguo remains open down-plunge and will be targeted by additional drill holes planned on the same platform. Drilling carried out from platform IF-12 also intersected multiple mineralized structures such as Santa Catalina and Manto Antiguo Lower, confirming the presence of high-grade mineralization on Santa Catalina and extending the mineralization on Manto Antiguo Lower to the interpreted reverse fault. Multiple high gold grades were intersected with maximum intersection grades of 20.70 g/t Au and 1,388.8 g/t Ag over 0.32 meters on Santa Catalina Faulted Block (ZM-200) and 7.90 g/t Au and 66.9 g/t Ag over 0.30 meters on Santa Catalina (ZM-201). Both mineralized intersections fall into an area of the block model that currently shows very low grade, opening up a new scenario for further evaluation. The following table lists the key intervals and sub-intervals from the ongoing Las Brisas in-fill program, since the previous press release issued on July 6, 2026, with grades >4 g/t AuEq cut-off associated with main intervals that, in some cases, might not meet the >4 g/t AuEq cut-off:

Notes to Las Brisas table:
(1)
The intervals are core lengths. The true widths are estimated to be 80% to 90% of the lengths.
(2)
Equivalent gold grades (AuEq g/t) were calculated using prices of US$3,200/oz gold and US$40.00/oz silver. Gold equivalent formula: AuEq = Au + (Ag / (Au Price/Ag Price)).
(3)
"Unknown": new structure that doesn't correlate with any of the known structures/veins.
(4)
There are no results above cut-off grade for drillhole ZM-203 and it is not listed in the table.
(5)
Ag results for drill hole ZM-210 are still pending.
Please refer also to the attached illustrative images 1 to 5 showing the location of the drill holes reported herein from the 2026 drilling campaign along with a sketch of the main structures for the Las Brisas Target, a cross-section showing drill holes ZM-210 and ZM-213, and two long sections showing intercept locations for the Manto Antiguo and Santa Catalina structures.
Manto Antiguo and Santa Catalina Structures
The Manto Antiguo structure, which was the main structure historically mined, is interpreted as a WNW-ESE trending brecciated manto-type structure that merges into the footwall of the Santa Catalina structure. The northerly-trending Santa Catalina structure, which dips steeply to the east near surface and gently at depth, is interpreted as a mineralized master fault structure and feeder of mineralization for the entire vein system. In the footwall of the Santa Catalina structure, below Manto Antiguo, lies another manto-type structure called Manto Antiguo Lower, which exhibits the same characteristics as Manto Antiguo, being usually narrow and having a typical breccia texture with incipient quartz-sulphide banding and milled wall rock clasts. The mineralization consists of pyrite, arsenopyrite, sphalerite and galena. Fragments of argillic-altered schist are observed, which host pyrite veinlets.
2026 Drilling Program
The 2026 drill program comprises a planned total of 15,100 meters on several target areas within the Zancudo Project, including Las Brisas, El Castano, Independencia Mine and brownfield. The 2026 drill program has been designed to deliver important data for further resource modelling, mine planning and optimization of production stope design to guide our mine development programs as Denarius Metals ramps up mining activities at Zancudo in 2026 and 2027 to feed the Project's new 1,000 tonnes per day flotation processing plant that is currently under construction and expected to be operating later this year.

VANCOUVER, Canada, Aug. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sonoro Gold Corp. (TSXV: SGO | OTCQB: SMOFF | FRA: 23SP) (“Sonoro” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, Minera Mar de Plata (“MMP”), has completed the acquisition of additional mineral concessions located adjacent to the Company’s Cerro Caliche gold project in Sonora, Mexico.
As previously announced on May 12, 2026, the Company executed Letters of Intent to acquire a 100% interest in 23 mineral concessions and up to a 51% interest in five additional mineral concessions.
The completed acquisition is a strategic opportunity to potentially demonstrate the Cerro Caliche project as being part of a larger gold epithermal system, with wide-scale potential to host multiple mineralized zones. Historical data from multiple exploration programs conducted on and surrounding the newly acquired mineral concessions suggest geological, structural and mineralization characteristics similar to those identified at Cerro Caliche.
The map below illustrates the recently acquired concessions at Cerro Caliche.

Kenneth MacLeod, President and CEO of Sonoro Gold, commented, “The recent expansions at Cerro Caliche provide us with the potential to materially enhance the scope and scale of the project. Our current 50,000 metre drilling program is focused on potentially increasing the size, grade and classification of the project’s mineral resource, as well as investigating the expected continuation of the mineralized corridors into these new concessions.”
TRANSACTION SUMMARY
Vendors are at arm’s length to the Company, its associates and affiliates and the purchase consideration does not include the issuance of any securities, nor any grant of a royalty interest. 100% interest in 23 mineral concessions over 4,239.10 hectares (ha) for total consideration of USD $5.17 million to be paid in installments over 18 months. MMP assumes certain liabilities of outstanding mineral concession fees totaling approximately USD $990,000. 51% interest in five mineral concessions over 453.91 ha for a total commitment of up to USD $9M in exploration and development expenditures. Since January 2026, Cerro Caliche has been strategically expanded from 1,350-hectares to 8,215-hectares, plus a 51% interest in another 454 hectares.
The Cerro Caliche gold project is in the final permitting stage for a proposed initial open-pit, heap leach mining operation.
An updated 2026 PEA on the original 1,350 ha Cerro Caliche property demonstrates the potential viability for a ten-year open pit, heap leach mining operation at 16,000 tpd. Based on approximately 30% of the known mineralized zones identified on the original property and utilizing a gold price of USD $3,500 per ounce, the report highlights an after tax NPV8 of USD $224M and an IRR of 50%.

The recommendations of Wall Street analysts are often relied on by investors when deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock. Media reports about these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts changing their ratings often affect a stock's price. Do they really matter, though?
Let's take a look at what these Wall Street heavyweights have to say about Gold.com (GOLD - Free Report) before we discuss the reliability of brokerage recommendations and how to use them to your advantage.
Gold.com currently has an average brokerage recommendation (ABR) of 1.33, on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) made by six brokerage firms. An ABR of 1.33 approximates between Strong Buy and Buy.
Of the six recommendations that derive the current ABR, five are Strong Buy, representing 83.3% of all recommendations.
Brokerage Recommendation Trends for GOLD

While the ABR calls for buying Gold.com, it may not be wise to make an investment decision solely based on this information. Several studies have shown limited to no success of brokerage recommendations in guiding investors to pick stocks with the best price increase potential.
Do you wonder why? As a result of the vested interest of brokerage firms in a stock they cover, their analysts tend to rate it with a strong positive bias. According to our research, brokerage firms assign five "Strong Buy" recommendations for every "Strong Sell" recommendation.
This means that the interests of these institutions are not always aligned with those of retail investors, giving little insight into the direction of a stock's future price movement. It would therefore be best to use this information to validate your own analysis or a tool that has proven to be highly effective at predicting stock price movements.
With an impressive externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool, the Zacks Rank, which classifies stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), is a reliable indicator of a stock's near-term price performance. So, validating the Zacks Rank with ABR could go a long way in making a profitable investment decision.
ABR Should Not Be Confused With Zacks RankIn spite of the fact that Zacks Rank and ABR both appear on a scale from 1 to 5, they are two completely different measures.
The ABR is calculated solely based on brokerage recommendations and is typically displayed with decimals (example: 1.28). In contrast, the Zacks Rank is a quantitative model allowing investors to harness the power of earnings estimate revisions. It is displayed in whole numbers -- 1 to 5.
Analysts employed by brokerage firms have been and continue to be overly optimistic with their recommendations. Since the ratings issued by these analysts are more favorable than their research would support because of the vested interest of their employers, they mislead investors far more often than they guide.
On the other hand, earnings estimate revisions are at the core of the Zacks Rank. And empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
Furthermore, the different grades of the Zacks Rank are applied proportionately across all stocks for which brokerage analysts provide earnings estimates for the current year. In other words, at all times, this tool maintains a balance among the five ranks it assigns.
There is also a key difference between the ABR and Zacks Rank when it comes to freshness. When you look at the ABR, it may not be up-to-date. Nonetheless, since brokerage analysts constantly revise their earnings estimates to reflect changing business trends, and their actions get reflected in the Zacks Rank quickly enough, it is always timely in predicting future stock prices.
Is GOLD Worth Investing In?Looking at the earnings estimate revisions for Gold.com, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has remained unchanged over the past month at $5.31.
Analysts' steady views regarding the company's earnings prospects, as indicated by an unchanged consensus estimate, could be a legitimate reason for the stock to perform in line with the broader market in the near term.
The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for Gold.com. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>
It may therefore be prudent to be a little cautious with the Buy-equivalent ABR for Goldcom.

Výnos 30letých amerických státních dluhopisů ve středu mírně klesl poté, co v úterý vystoupal na nejvyšší úroveň od června 2007. Desetiletý výnos skončil na přibližně 4,71 %. Dnes bude také investory zajímat zápis z červencového zasedání Federálního rezervního systému, které má být zveřejněno dnes. Zápis bude určitě pod drobnohledem trhu a investorů, tj. aby všichni získali vodítka k výhledu měnové politiky poté, co tři regionální členové ( prezidenti ) Fedu nesouhlasili s rozhodnutím ponechat úrokové sazby beze změny. Dolar na páru s eurem dnes silněji ztrácí -0,67% tj. 1,1654 USD/EUR.
V centru zájmu investorů je také ropa a podle dnešního reportu od EIA zásoby surové ropy ke dni 14.8. vzrostly o 4,405 mil. barelů, když analytici předpokládali menší nárůst o 0,2 mil. barelů. Lehká ropa s oslabujícím dolarem tak přidává 0,5% a dostává se k úrovni 84,5 USD/barel. Podle analytiků vyšší ceny ropy zvyšují obavy z inflace. Situace je také nejistá ve vývoji konfliktu mezi USA a Íránem a též kolem Hormuzského průlivu. Tato situace zatím vyhovuje akciím v těžebním sektoru černého zlata a tak akcie těžebního velikána Exxon Mobil ( XOM ) přidávají o více než 1,1% a také akcie konkurenta britské skupiny BP ( BP ) posilují na tržní ceně o 1,5%. Velmi dobře si dnes vedou také akcie těžaře APA ( APA ), které přidávají více než 5,1% a také velmi dobře si vedou akcie brazilského Petrobrasu ( PBR ), jež posilují o solidních 3%. Za zmínku stojí také akcie francouzského výrobce a dodavatele těžního zařízení Schlumbergeru ( SLB ), které obchodují se ziskem cca 1% a také akcie jeho amerického konkurenta Halliburtonu ( HAL ) přidávají na tržní ceně necelých 1,5%.
Za pozornost investoru dnes určitě stojí akcie světového výrobce kosmetiky Estee Lauder Cos. ( EL ), kde společnost reportovala výsledky za 4Q. Firma překonala odhady trhu v tržbách i v očištěném zisku na akcii a ukončila sérii tří po sobě jdoucích poklesů ročních tržeb. Zároveň potvrdila výhled organických tržeb na fiskální rok 2027 a navýšila projekci očištěné provozní marže. Na základě výsledků jsou akcie ve zvýšeném zájmu investorů a posilují o solidních 17%.
Na růstové vlně se dnes také vezou akcie společnosti Target ( TGT ), která zvýšila svůj roční cíl tržeb již druhé čtvrtletí po sobě, což je potenciálním signálem pokroku v širokém plánu restrukturalizace pod vedením nového generálního ředitele Michaela Fiddelkeho. Porovnatelné tržby i očištěný zisk na akcii předčily očekávání a společnost navíc těžila z vratek cel. Firma rovněž zvýšila celoroční výhled. Akcie Target ( TGT ) dnes přidávají na tržní ceně více než 5,6%.
V centru zájmu investorů dnes nelze opominout také žlutý kov, který za přispění silně oslabujícího dolaru roste o více než 2,8% a zlato se tak dostává k úrovni 4 548 USD/Troy. unci. Tato situace nahrává do karet akciím v těžebním sektoru zlata a tak akcie amerického těžaře Newmontu ( NEM ) posilují na tržní ceně 8,5% a hned v závěsu se pohybují akcie největšího kanadského těžaře zlata Barrick Mining ( B ) se ziskem 7,1%. Za zmínku stojí také akcie známého těžaře Eldorado Gold ( EGO ), které jsou na tom podobně se ziskem cca 8,5%.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Integra Resources Corp. ("Integra" or the "Company") (TSXV: ITR) (NYSE American: ITRG) is pleased to announce financial and operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2026 (the "second quarter" or "Q2 2026"). The Company will host a conference call to discuss second quarter 2026 results on Wednesday, August 12, 2026 at 10:00 AM Eastern Time / 7:00 AM Pacific Time.
(All amounts expressed in United States ("U.S.") dollars unless otherwise stated)
Second Quarter 2026 Highlights:
Mined 4.4 million tonnes of ore and 3.6 million tonnes of waste at a strip ratio of 0.81 at the Florida Canyon Mine (the "Florida Canyon Mine" or "Florida Canyon" or the "Mine") for Q2 2026. As a result, ore mining rates were 48,538 tonnes per day ("tpd") and total tonnes mined were 87,867 tpd, a record for the Mine. Gold production increased 30% quarter-over-quarter to 16,379 ounces, driven by record total material movement, supporting a stronger production profile that is expected to continue through the remainder of the year. In Q2 2026, Florida Canyon sold 15,794 gold ounces at an average realized price of $4,426 per gold ounce. Quarterly revenue of $70.8 million in Q2 2026, compared to revenue of $61.1 million in Q2 2025. Mine operating earnings of $23.4 million in Q2 2026 were comparable to $25.2 million in Q2 2025. Q2 2026 adjusted earnings(1) of $13.1 million, or $0.06 per share, was comparable to the $11.8 million, or $0.07 per share recorded in Q2 2025. Q2 2026 net earnings of $12.0 million, or $0.06 earnings per share was comparable to $10.6 million, or $0.06 in earnings per share recorded in Q2 2025. Cash costs(1) averaged $2,495 per gold ounce and mine-site all in sustaining costs(1) ("Mine-site AISC") averaged $3,371 per gold ounce in Q2 2026, both impacted by an increase in tonnes mined, stacked and processed to support production, lower gold ounces sold during the first quarter, increased royalties and excise taxes resulting from stronger-than-anticipated gold prices, and higher diesel fuel and explosive costs. Operating cash flow of $22.8 million increased from $16.3 million in Q2 2025, primarily driven by a $9.0 million decrease in cash used for working capital, largely driven by a build-up of payables, and partially offset by higher tax payments. Free cash flow(1) was $9.3 million, or $0.05 per share, for Q2 2026, a significant improvement from $2.1 million, or $0.01 per share in Q2 2025. Cash and cash equivalents of $111.1 million at June 30, 2026, an increase from $63.1 million at December 31, 2025 and benefitting from the $57.5 million bought deal public offering completed in the first quarter of 2026. The Company filed its updated Feasibility Study Technical Report (the "Technical Report") and Life of Mine Plan for Florida Canyon dated July 28, 2026, with an effective date of May 31, 2026. The Technical Report outlined a larger scale, longer-life mine with an 8-year mine life, a 74% increase in Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves, a 17% increase in average annual gold production, approximately $0.8 billion in after-tax free cash flow over the life-of-mine, and $601 million after-tax net present value (5%)("NPV")(1),(2),(3) The largest drill program in Company history is underway at Florida Canyon focused on expanding resources and reserves, extending mine life and testing high-priority near-mine and regional targets to support the operation's long-term resource growth. DeLamar entered the federal permitting process under the National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA") in May 2026 and commenced state-of-good-repair programs on site, including test mining, crush optimization analysis, truck shop refurbishment and general site readiness to shorten the development timeline and reduce execution risk at DeLamar. The Company advanced the implementation of its partnership with the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Reservation, including the grant of 517,103 common shares with an aggregate value of $1.5 million in recognition of the parties' collaborative efforts to advance the DeLamar Project. Continued engagement underway with additional stakeholders across Nevada, Idaho and Oregon, including local communities, civic and non-profit organizations and government officials. (1)

NPV discounted to January 1, 2026, and includes cash flows from January 1, 2026 to May 31, 2026. Base case gold prices: 2026 ($4,344/oz), 2027 ($4,414/oz), 2028 ($4,169/oz), 2029 ($3,824), 2030 to 2035 ($3,600/oz).
George Salamis, President, CEO and Director of Integra commented:
"Q2 2026 marked a significant improvement in gold production at Florida Canyon, with a 30% increase over the first quarter. The Company achieved record mining rates for a second consecutive quarter as new mining equipment was integrated into the existing fleet, allowing for increased material movement across the Mine. Approximately 4.2 million tonnes of ore were placed on the heap leach pads during the quarter, a 45% increase over the first quarter, creating a large inventory of recoverable gold ounces that is expected to support stronger gold production through the balance of the year. With ore stacking on the heap leach pad exceeding expectations, the Company is maintaining its full year production guidance of 70,000 to 75,000 ounces of gold."
"In July, the Company filed the updated Technical Report for Florida Canyon which demonstrates the significant transformation expected at the Mine moving forward. Through strategic investments to expand the mineral reserve base, modernize the mining fleet and integrate future heap leach expansions into the mine plan, we have developed a more stable, longer-life operation with higher annual production and lower long-term operating costs. This executable mine plan will provide a solid foundation for the Company, generating strong cash flow that can be used to advance DeLamar through permitting and development while progressing Nevada North through increasingly advanced economic studies. The operation continues to advance in accordance with the plan we established and the potential we envisaged when we acquired Florida Canyon in late 2024."

Florida Canyon Mine
Mining
In Q2 2026, the Company mined 4.4 million tonnes of ore, up 44% from 3.1 million in Q2 2025, and 3.6 million tonnes of waste, up 21% from 3.0 millon in Q2 2025 at a strip ratio of 0.81, 16% lower than 0.96 in Q2 2025. As a result, mining rates averaged 87,867 tpd compared to 66,382 tpd in Q2 2025, representing a record rate of total material movement at the Mine. This mining rate was achieved this quarter due to the new mining equipment integrated into the fleet over the previous two quarters and shorter haul distances.
Production
In Q2 2026, the Company produced 16,379 ounces of gold, compared to 18,087 ounces in Q2 2025. The blending strategy developed in the first quarter of 2026 for N2 ore continues to leach as expected. The Company ramped up mining and heap leach stacking rates through the second quarter of this year and expects to meet its annual gold production guidance of 70,000 to 75,000 ounces.
Average gold process recoveries were 57.8% in Q2 2026 slightly less than the 60.5% recovery achieved in Q2 2025.
Sustaining and Non-sustaining Capital
The second quarter of 2026 continued to mark a capital-intensive period across the Company's portfolio of assets with several key activities during the quarter. These investments reflect a deliberate focus on de-risking the portfolio and positioning the Company for sustainable production growth.
During Q2 2026, the Company invested $13.5 million in sustaining capital, compared to $14.2 million in Q2 2025. Spending in the second quarter of 2026 reflects the Company's continued reinvestment strategy including new equipment leases, capital stripping, and mobile equipment refurbishments. The Company expects investments in sustaining capital expenditures to continue into the third quarter.
The Company also invested $0.8 million in Q2 2026, in non-sustaining growth capital, comparable to $0.8 million invested in the second quarter of 2025. This spending was primarily directed toward equipment leases for the expanded fleet, engineering and permitting work on Phase IIIC heap leach pad facility and growth-focused drilling programs at the Florida Canyon Mine discussed further in the Exploration section below.
These expenditures are in line with the Company's 2026 Revised Guidance.
Cash Costs and Mine-site AISC
Cash costs averaged $2,495 per ounce in Q2 2026 and Mine-site AISC averaged $3,371 per ounce in Q2 2026. These metrics were impacted by increased mined, stacked and processed tonnes to support production, lower gold ounces sold during the first quarter, increased royalties and excise taxes resulting from stronger-than-anticipated gold prices, and higher diesel fuel and explosive costs. See Guidance Section below for further details on the 2026 revised guidance.
Royalties and excise taxes, which constitute a material component of cash costs and Mine-site AISC, are directly impacted by fluctuations in the gold price. The Company's revised guidance assumed an average gold price of $4,200 per ounce, and a $100 per ounce change in the gold price results in an estimated $7 change to both cash costs and Mine-site AISC.
Florida Canyon Exploration
In Q2 2026, the Company completed 8,501 meters of drilling, totaling 17,055 meters year to date, of its 42,500 meter 2026 growth focused drilling program at Florida Canyon. The 2026 program continues on the success of the 2025 program focusing on four key areas: (1) Resource development at the Florida Canyon Mine Property; (2) underexplored extensions of Florida Canyon Gold mineralization exploration (3) Standard Mine area targets; and (4) green-field exploration targets. The program is specifically designed to support resource and reserve growth and extend mine life at Florida Canyon.

The results of the Florida Canyon 43-101 technical report were released in a press release "Florida Canyon Feasibility Study Delivers Substantial Increase in Mineral Reserve, Gold Production Over an 8-Year Mine Life and US$0.8 Billion in After-Tax Free Cash Flow" released June 25, 2026. The Technical Report was filed on July 30, 2026.
Development Projects
DeLamar capital and project expenses
In Q2 2026, the Company incurred $5.7 million in exploration and project expenses, largely for engineering and permitting work, and 712 meters of development drilling at the DeLamar Project. In addition, the Company invested $4.6 million in mineral property, plant, and equipment at DeLamar, including $2.2 million for permitting and engineering activities, and $2.0 million in de-risking activities, of which $1.7 million was for securing equipment.
DeLamar permitting
Integra's 2025 DeLamar Project Mine Plan of Operations ("MPO") Version 4.3 was submitted to the BLM on May 1, 2026. The MPO Version 4.3 is the project proposed action and will serve as the basis for BLM's environmental review of the DeLamar Project under NEPA. The BLM's NEPA process initiated with the publishing of the Notice of Intent on May 29, 2026, initiating a 30-day public scoping process to identify environmental concerns (issues) associated with project implementation. Environmental effects analysis of the DeLamar Project and a no action alternative will be issued in an Environmental Impact Statement ("EIS") and accompanying record of decision, anticipated in H2 2027. In the EIS, the BLM will identify a preferred alternative and any required mitigation measures required for the DeLamar Project implementation. Following the NEPA process, a final revised MPO will be prepared that incorporates the preferred alternative and any identified mitigation measures. Once all applicable federal, state and local permits are obtained, the DeLamar Project will commence construction.
The DeLamar Project was selected for inclusion in the U.S. Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council FAST-41 transparency projects program January 13, 2026. The FAST-41 transparency project program is a federal permitting framework designed to streamline environmental reviews, improve interagency coordination, and increase transparency. Agencies must develop and maintain a coordinated, project-specific timetable for all required environmental review and permitting actions. Integra will be designated a dedicated project advisor from the Permitting Council, who will monitor the advancement of the project and support active engagement and coordination across multiple regulatory agencies. The Permitting Council provides high-level oversight to ensure that federal agencies adhere to established timetables. The DeLamar Project's permitting timeline posted to the FAST-41 project dashboard highlights an accelerated 15 month NEPA schedule from start to finish.
The Company completed its feasibility study for the DeLamar Project with an effective date December 8, 2025. The feasibility study for DeLamar confirmed robust economics for a low-cost, large-scale, conventional open pit oxide heap leach operation, with competitive operating costs and a high rate of return. The feasibility study outlines total production of 1.1 million ounces of gold equivalent ("AuEq") over a 10-year operating mine life (plus two years of residual leaching), resulting in an average annual production profile of 106,000 ounces AuEq per annum at a co-product Mine-site AISC of $1,480 per ounce ("/oz") AuEq. Initial capital cost are $389 million, including $38 million of owners' cost, and sustaining capital of $305 million over the mine life. The DeLamar Project generates an after-tax NPV of approximately $774 million with an after-tax internal rate of return ("IRR") of 46% at base case gold and silver prices of $3,000/oz and $35/oz, respectively. After-tax NPV improves to approximately $1.9 billion and after-tax IRR to 97% using recent gold and silver prices of $4,500/oz and $65/oz, respectively.
2026 Revised Guidance and Outlook
The Company revised its 2026 Mine-site AISC guidance at Florida Canyon on June 25, 2026. The adjustment to Mine-site AISC is primarily attributed to an increase in the tonnes, mined, stacked and processed to support production, lower gold ounces sold during H1 2026, increased royalties and excise taxes resulting from stronger-than-anticipated gold prices, and higher diesel fuel and explosive costs.
The Company is also revising its 2026 total cash costs per ounce guidance to reflect the cost drivers impacting Mine-site AISC, and its 2026 non-sustaining capital expenditures guidance to reflect improvements included in the Technical Report including advancing heap leach pad construction which was originally planned for future years.
Unit abbreviations: oz = troy ounce, $/oz sold = U.S. dollars per gold ounce sold, $m = million of U.S. dollars

This is a non-GAAP financial measure, please refer to the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" disclosure at the end of this news release and associated MD&A for a description and calculation of this measure. Calculation revised using an assumed average gold price of $4,200 per ounce; a $100 per ounce change in the gold price is estimated to result in an approximately $7 change in each metric.
Selected Q2 Financial Results
Revenue
In Q2 2026 the Company sold 15,794 ounces of gold at average realized prices of $4,426 per ounce of gold generating revenue of $70.8 million, compared to 18,194 ounces at average realized prices of $3,332 per ounce in Q2 2025, resulting in revenues of $61.1 million.
Net Earnings
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, net earnings were $12.0 million comparable to net earnings of $10.6 million for the same period in 2025. The net earnings in Q2 2026 largely resulted from strong mine operating earnings supported by strong average realized gold prices.
Q2 2026 adjusted earnings of $13.1 million, or $0.06 per share, was comparable to adjusted earnings of $11.8 million or $0.07 per share in Q2 2025.
Cash Flow
Cash flows provided by operations in Q2 2026 totaled $22.8 million, an increase of $6.5 million compared to the $16.3 million generated in Q2 2025. The primary driver of this increase is related to a $9.0 million increase in cash generated from working capital, largely driven by a build-up of payables, partially offset by $4.7 million in increased income taxes paid during the quarter.
During the second quarter, the Company made payments of $18.9 million for mineral properties, plant and equipment, and leases. This increased from payments of $15.2 million for mineral property, plant and equipment, and leases made in Q2 2025, which were related to sustaining capital expenditures at Florida Canyon.
Q2 2026 free cash flow generated of $9.3 million, or $0.05 per share, a significant improvement from the $2.1 million, or $0.01 per share, generated in Q2 2025.
Financial Position
As at June 30, 2026, the Company had a cash and cash equivalent balance of $111.1 million, an increase of $48.0 million from $63.1 million at December 31, 2025.
The Company's working capital was $146.5 million on June 30, 2026, reflecting a $53.6 million increase from December 31, 2025. This improvement was largely attributable to a $48.0 million increase in cash, benefiting from the $57.5 million bought deal public offering.
Health, Safety and Environment
Integra experienced zero fatalities and one lost time injury in Q2 2026. Three MSHA-reportable injuries occurred at Florida Canyon in Q2 2026. The 2026, year-to-date total reportable incident frequency rate ("TRIFR") at Florida Canyon was 1.6 compared to 2.3 for H1 2025.
Integra experienced one quarterly reportable spill (one year-to-date), zero immediately reportable spills (zero year-to-date) and one minor reportable permit noncompliances for the quarter (three year-to-date), all at Florida Canyon.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management believes that the following non-GAAP financial measures will enable certain investors to better evaluate the Company's performance, liquidity, and ability to generate cash flow. These measures do not have any standardized definition under IFRS, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other companies may calculate these measures differently.
Average realized gold price
Average realized gold price per ounce is calculated by dividing the Company's gross revenue from gold sales for the relevant period by the gold ounces sold, respectively. The Company believes the measure is useful in understanding the gold prices realized by the Company throughout the period. The following table reconciles revenue and gold sold during the period with average realized prices:

Capital expenditures
Capital expenditures are classified into sustaining capital expenditures or non-sustaining capital expenditures depending on the nature of the expenditure. Sustaining capital expenditures are those required to support current production levels. Non-sustaining capital expenditures represent the capital spending at new projects and major, discrete projects at existing operations intended to increase production or extend mine life. Management believes this to be a useful indicator of the purpose of capital expenditures and this distinction is an input into the calculation of AISC.
The following table reconciles payments for mineral properties, plant and equipment, and equipment leases to sustaining and non-sustaining capital expenditures:

Barrick Gold Corp. (TSX:ABX, NYSE:GOLD) shares fell 8% on Monday after the company reported second quarter results that showed strong year-over-year growth but came in below Wall Street estimates.
The company reported adjusted earnings of $0.82 per share for the quarter, below the $0.84 consensus estimate.
Revenue rose 44% year over year to $5.29 billion, although that was below forecasts of about $5.67 billion.
Barrick’s second-quarter gold production increased 11% from the first quarter to 796,000 ounces, exceeding its guidance range of 730,000 to 770,000 ounces. The company attributed the increase to an ahead-of-schedule ramp-up at Loulo-Gounkoto, a faster-than-expected recovery at Pueblo Viejo following planned maintenance and record underground tonnes at Cortez as Goldrush continued to ramp up.
Gold cost of sales was $1,993 per ounce, compared with $1,654 a year earlier, while all-in sustaining costs rose 11% year over year to $1,866 per ounce. Barrick attributed the higher costs in part to lower grades processed at several operations, higher fuel prices and increased royalties associated with higher realized gold prices.
Copper production fell 5% year over year to 56,000 tonnes. Copper cost of sales, C1 cash costs and all-in sustaining costs all increased from the prior-year period, with Barrick citing higher royalties and fuel prices.
For 2026, Barrick said it remains on track to meet its existing production and cost guidance. The company continues to expect gold production of 2.90 million to 3.25 million ounces for the year.
Gold cost of sales is forecast at $1,870 to $2,070 per ounce, while total cash costs are expected to range from $1,330 to $1,470 per ounce. All-in sustaining costs are projected at $1,760 to $1,950 per ounce. The guidance is based on an assumed gold price of $4,500 per ounce.
Barrick maintained its copper production guidance of 190,000 to 220,000 tonnes for the year. Copper cost of sales is expected at $3.05 to $3.35 per pound, with C1 cash costs of $2.20 to $2.45 per pound and all-in sustaining costs of $3.45 to $3.75 per pound. The copper guidance assumes a price of $5.50 per pound.
Barrick also reduced its 2026 total attributable capital expenditure guidance to $3.8 billion to $4.2 billion, from its previous range of $4 billion to $4.45 billion. The company said the reduction primarily reflects lower expected spending at the Reko Diq project.
“We delivered our third quarter in a row with excellent operational and financial performance,” Barrick CEO Mark Hill said in a statement. “We beat the top end of our gold production guidance and generated much higher earnings and cash flow than a year ago. We also advanced our growth pipeline, with good progress at Lumwana and Fourmile.”
Newmont deal The company also announced an agreement with Newmont that expands the Nevada Gold Mines joint venture and resolves outstanding disputes between the two companies. Under the agreement, Barrick will contribute Fourmile while Newmont will contribute the Mike and Fiberline properties, creating a Nevada complex with nearly 100 million ounces of gold, according to Barrick. Newmont will also make a $1.95 billion cash payment to Barrick.

About Falcon Gold Corp.
Falcon Gold Corp. is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration, and advancement of precious and battery metals opportunities across the Americas, with a portfolio spanning established mining camps and emerging exploration districts. Its flagship asset, the Central Canada Gold Project, is located approximately 20 kilometres southeast of Agnico Eagle's Hammond Reef Gold Deposit in northwestern Ontario. The project lies within the highly prospective Quetico Fault Zone, a major regional structural corridor interpreted as a key control on gold mineralization in the district. The Hammond Reef deposit is associated with a northeast-trending structural system linked to this broader regional framework, highlighting the significance of the geological setting. The Central Canada property has a documented exploration and development history spanning more than a century. Early work between 1901 and 1907 included shallow shaft development and small-scale production from high-grade material processed through stamp milling. Between 1930 and 1935, Central Canada Mines Ltd. further advanced the project with deeper underground development, crosscutting, and the installation of a small-scale gold mill. Subsequent exploration programs have included diamond drilling campaigns that returned multiple high-grade gold intercepts, supporting the presence of significant mineralization within the system. Beyond its flagship project, Falcon Gold maintains a diversified portfolio of Canadian exploration assets. This includes a 49% interest in the Burton Gold Property in partnership with IAMGOLD near Sudbury, Ontario, exploration-stage gold targets in British Columbia through the Spitfire and Sunny Boy claims, and the Great Burnt Copper-Gold Project in central Newfoundland.

Gold Rally Continues: These 3 Mining Stocks Are Likely to BenefitGold.com NYSE: GOLD reported second-quarter 2026 gold production above guidance, improved quarterly output and continued progress on major growth projects, while outlining an agreement with Newmont intended to reshape their Nevada joint venture and support a planned North American IPO.
President and CEO Mark Hill said the company produced 796,000 ounces of gold during the quarter, 3% above guidance and 11% higher than the first quarter. Copper production totaled 56,000 tonnes. Hill said the company met its gold-cost guidance and maintained its full-year 2026 production and cost outlook.

Best Gold Stocks in 2025… So Far“We have had our third quarter in a row with excellent operating and financial results,” Hill said. He added that the company expects gold output to rise in the third quarter from second-quarter levels and increase further in the fourth quarter. Copper production is also expected to be higher in the second half than in the first half.
Financial results and shareholder returns Senior Executive Vice President and CFO Helen Cai said net earnings totaled $1.2 billion, up 50% from the prior-year period. Adjusted net earnings were $1.36 billion, or $0.82 per share, which she said was in line with Bloomberg consensus estimates. Attributable adjusted EBITDA rose 51% year over year to $2.5 billion, representing a 59% margin.
Gold Rally vs. Oil Surge: Where Investors Are Betting NextAttributable free cash flow declined 33% year over year in the second quarter, reflecting the typical timing of annual tax and interest payments as well as a one-time $200 million payment related to Loulo-Gounkoto. Cai said free cash flow would have been more than 60% higher year over year excluding that payment. Year-to-date attributable free cash flow was $1.4 billion, more than double the comparable period a year earlier.
The company ended the quarter with $1.2 billion in net cash, an undrawn $3 billion revolving credit facility and no meaningful debt maturities until 2033, Cai said.
During the quarter, the company repurchased $1.2 billion of shares under its previously announced $3 billion authorization. Cai said the company has returned $3 billion through dividends and buybacks since its new leadership began in October 2025, more than double the prior corresponding period. Its dividend framework includes a quarterly base dividend of $0.175 per share and a year-end performance top-up designed to target total payouts of 50% of attributable free cash flow.
Newmont agreement and North American IPO Hill opened the call by discussing an agreement with Newmont that he said has an approximate total value of $4 billion. The package includes the parties’ interests in Fourmile as well as Newmont properties known as Mike and Fiberline, which Hill said add about 6.4 million ounces. It also resolves historical disputes and litigation between the joint-venture partners.
Hill said the agreement followed four months of negotiations and aligns the partners’ interests as they seek to optimize Nevada Gold Mines. He said the companies can now evaluate greater processing capacity, including the potential for a roaster or autoclave, while reducing ore trucking and coordinating infrastructure planning around Fourmile and Goldrush.
Management did not provide a detailed valuation of the individual elements of the transaction. Hill said there would be no contingent payments tied to future exploration success.
The company continues to target completion of an IPO of its North American gold assets by the end of 2026. Hill said he has been selected by the board to lead the new company as CEO when it launches. The company plans to sell a 10% minority interest and does not currently intend to increase that percentage, according to Hill. Management said the vast majority of net proceeds from the offering are expected to be returned to shareholders.
Chief Development Officer George Joannou said the company is reviewing the IPO structure following the Newmont agreement, including potential friction-cost savings and domicile considerations. He said a marketing process will occur, though management did not provide timing.
Growth projects remain on schedule Hill said the company’s principal growth projects—Fourmile, Lumwana and the Pueblo Viejo expansion—remained on time and on budget during the quarter.
Fourmile: The company increased drilling to 20 active rigs and expects to complete a prefeasibility study by the end of 2028. Hill said the Newmont agreement may allow the project’s development and processing planning to advance more quickly, although permitting remains a constraint. Lumwana: The mill expansion is intended to double copper production. The company expects 2026 capital spending to be at the low end of guidance and anticipates first copper from the expansion by the end of the first quarter of 2028. Pueblo Viejo: Work progressed on permitting and construction for the tailings facility, haul roads and water-treatment plant. Hill said 90% of resettlement packages have been accepted. Reko Diq: The company will continue its review of the project but decided not to begin plant construction this year. Expected 2026 attributable capital expenditures were reduced to $450 million to $500 million from $600 million to $700 million. Lower projected spending at Lumwana and Reko Diq reduced the company’s 2026 group attributable capital expenditure guidance to $3.8 billion to $4.2 billion.
Safety performance improves, but concerns remain Hill said safety remained the company’s top priority. The frequency rate improved quarter over quarter to 0.77 from 0.92, though the company recorded six lost-time injuries during the period.
Hill called that result “completely unacceptable” and said leadership is increasing field time, conducting more critical-control verifications and addressing risks at mine sites. The company has invested more than $90 million this year in safety technology, including mining-equipment automation, vehicle dash cameras, safety-reporting software and artificial-intelligence analytics.
At Loulo-Gounkoto, Cai said the company made a $200 million payment in April associated with additional royalties, penalties and interest arising from the retrospective application of Mali’s 2023 mining code to 2024 and 2025. She said a further $48 million payment demand was received in July.

Inside this report, you’ll find 10 companies positioned to benefit as artificial intelligence moves from hype to real-world deployment and becomes a core growth driver for corporate America.
Barrick Gold Corp. (TSX:ABX, NYSE:GOLD) shares fell 8% on Monday after the company reported second quarter results that showed strong year-over-year growth but came in below Wall Street estimates.
The company reported adjusted earnings of $0.82 per share for the quarter, below the $0.84 consensus estimate.
Revenue rose 44% year over year to $5.29 billion, although that was below forecasts of about $5.67 billion.
Barrick’s second-quarter gold production increased 11% from the first quarter to 796,000 ounces, exceeding its guidance range of 730,000 to 770,000 ounces. The company attributed the increase to an ahead-of-schedule ramp-up at Loulo-Gounkoto, a faster-than-expected recovery at Pueblo Viejo following planned maintenance and record underground tonnes at Cortez as Goldrush continued to ramp up.
Gold cost of sales was $1,993 per ounce, compared with $1,654 a year earlier, while all-in sustaining costs rose 11% year over year to $1,866 per ounce. Barrick attributed the higher costs in part to lower grades processed at several operations, higher fuel prices and increased royalties associated with higher realized gold prices.
Copper production fell 5% year over year to 56,000 tonnes. Copper cost of sales, C1 cash costs and all-in sustaining costs all increased from the prior-year period, with Barrick citing higher royalties and fuel prices.
For 2026, Barrick said it remains on track to meet its existing production and cost guidance. The company continues to expect gold production of 2.90 million to 3.25 million ounces for the year.
Gold cost of sales is forecast at $1,870 to $2,070 per ounce, while total cash costs are expected to range from $1,330 to $1,470 per ounce. All-in sustaining costs are projected at $1,760 to $1,950 per ounce. The guidance is based on an assumed gold price of $4,500 per ounce.
Barrick maintained its copper production guidance of 190,000 to 220,000 tonnes for the year. Copper cost of sales is expected at $3.05 to $3.35 per pound, with C1 cash costs of $2.20 to $2.45 per pound and all-in sustaining costs of $3.45 to $3.75 per pound. The copper guidance assumes a price of $5.50 per pound.
Barrick also reduced its 2026 total attributable capital expenditure guidance to $3.8 billion to $4.2 billion, from its previous range of $4 billion to $4.45 billion. The company said the reduction primarily reflects lower expected spending at the Reko Diq project.
“We delivered our third quarter in a row with excellent operational and financial performance,” Barrick CEO Mark Hill said in a statement. “We beat the top end of our gold production guidance and generated much higher earnings and cash flow than a year ago. We also advanced our growth pipeline, with good progress at Lumwana and Fourmile.”
Newmont deal The company also announced an agreement with Newmont that expands the Nevada Gold Mines joint venture and resolves outstanding disputes between the two companies. Under the agreement, Barrick will contribute Fourmile while Newmont will contribute the Mike and Fiberline properties, creating a Nevada complex with nearly 100 million ounces of gold, according to Barrick. Newmont will also make a $1.95 billion cash payment to Barrick.
The agreement includes Newmont's consent to Barrick's planned initial public offering of its North American gold assets. Barrick said the IPO remains on track for completion by the end of the year, with Hill set to lead the new company as CEO following the separation.
“We achieved an historic agreement with Newmont. Newmont has consented to the IPO and the parties have agreed to expand NGM with the early vend-in of our excluded properties, as well as settling all disputes,” Hill said.
“Through this agreement with our joint venture partner, we have substantially extended the asset base, and provided greater flexibility and value.”

« PREVIOUS HEADLINELink Real Estate Investment Trust (LKREF) and Its Competitors Critical Analysis
When deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock, investors often rely on analyst recommendations. Media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts often influence a stock's price, but are they really important?
Let's take a look at what these Wall Street heavyweights have to say about Gold.com (GOLD - Free Report) before we discuss the reliability of brokerage recommendations and how to use them to your advantage.
Gold.com currently has an average brokerage recommendation (ABR) of 1.33, on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) made by six brokerage firms. An ABR of 1.33 approximates between Strong Buy and Buy.
Of the six recommendations that derive the current ABR, five are Strong Buy, representing 83.3% of all recommendations.
Brokerage Recommendation Trends for GOLD
Check price target & stock forecast for Gold.com here>>>
The ABR suggests buying Gold.com, but making an investment decision solely on the basis of this information might not be a good idea. According to several studies, brokerage recommendations have little to no success guiding investors to choose stocks with the most potential for price appreciation.
Do you wonder why? As a result of the vested interest of brokerage firms in a stock they cover, their analysts tend to rate it with a strong positive bias. According to our research, brokerage firms assign five "Strong Buy" recommendations for every "Strong Sell" recommendation.
This means that the interests of these institutions are not always aligned with those of retail investors, giving little insight into the direction of a stock's future price movement. It would therefore be best to use this information to validate your own analysis or a tool that has proven to be highly effective at predicting stock price movements.
Zacks Rank, our proprietary stock rating tool with an impressive externally audited track record, categorizes stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), and is an effective indicator of a stock's price performance in the near future. Therefore, using the ABR to validate the Zacks Rank could be an efficient way of making a profitable investment decision.
Zacks Rank Should Not Be Confused With ABRAlthough both Zacks Rank and ABR are displayed in a range of 1--5, they are different measures altogether.
Broker recommendations are the sole basis for calculating the ABR, which is typically displayed in decimals (such as 1.28). The Zacks Rank, on the other hand, is a quantitative model designed to harness the power of earnings estimate revisions. It is displayed in whole numbers -- 1 to 5.
Analysts employed by brokerage firms have been and continue to be overly optimistic with their recommendations. Since the ratings issued by these analysts are more favorable than their research would support because of the vested interest of their employers, they mislead investors far more often than they guide.
On the other hand, earnings estimate revisions are at the core of the Zacks Rank. And empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
Furthermore, the different grades of the Zacks Rank are applied proportionately across all stocks for which brokerage analysts provide earnings estimates for the current year. In other words, at all times, this tool maintains a balance among the five ranks it assigns.
Another key difference between the ABR and Zacks Rank is freshness. The ABR is not necessarily up-to-date when you look at it. But, since brokerage analysts keep revising their earnings estimates to account for a company's changing business trends, and their actions get reflected in the Zacks Rank quickly enough, it is always timely in indicating future price movements.
Should You Invest in GOLD?In terms of earnings estimate revisions for Gold.com, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has remained unchanged over the past month at $5.31.
Analysts' steady views regarding the company's earnings prospects, as indicated by an unchanged consensus estimate, could be a legitimate reason for the stock to perform in line with the broader market in the near term.
The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for Gold.com. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>
It may therefore be prudent to be a little cautious with the Buy-equivalent ABR for Goldcom.
Gold.com (GOLD - Free Report) closed at $42.90 in the latest trading session, marking a +1.83% move from the prior day. The stock's performance was ahead of the S&P 500's daily gain of 1.79%. Meanwhile, the Dow gained 1.71%, and the Nasdaq, a tech-heavy index, added 2.59%.
Coming into today, shares of the precious metals trading company had lost 4.36% in the past month. In that same time, the Finance sector gained 2.19%, while the S&P 500 gained 1.72%.
Market participants will be closely following the financial results of Gold.com in its upcoming release. In that report, analysts expect Gold.com to post earnings of $0.96 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 26.32%. Alongside, our most recent consensus estimate is anticipating revenue of $7.76 billion, indicating a 209.04% upward movement from the same quarter last year.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 4, 2026) - Rua Gold Inc. (TSX: RUA) (NZX: RGI) (OTCQX: NZAUF) (FSE: X9R) ("RUA GOLD" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received required regulatory approval to commence exploration drilling at the Glamorgan Project, an epithermal gold project in the Hauraki Goldfield on New Zealand's North Island.
The Hauraki Goldfield is a major epithermal gold province, where more than 50 historic mines have collectively produced over 15 million ounces of gold. The Glamorgan Project is adjacent to OceanaGold's Wharekirauponga deposit, which hosts Indicated Mineral Resources of 1.5Moz at 17.3 g/t Au1. The Wharekirauponga project received final permitting approval in December 2025 following a 112-day review process and is now under construction.
Highlights:
Extensive surface exploration and data analysis completed at the Glamorgan Project over the past 2 years have identified several compelling drill targets.
The Company has received approval for nine drill pads, allowing it to test the three most compelling drill targets.
Construction of protective fencing, the exploration camps and drill pads will commence immediately following ecological checks.
A fully funded initial exploration program of approximately 9,000m has been planned across the targets with drilling expected to commence in Q4 2026.
Simon Henderson, Chief Operating Officer, has more than 30 years of experience in this region of New Zealand and played an integral role in the discovery of Wharekirauponga.
Surface exploration completed to date has identified classic features of a major epithermal gold-silver system, comparable to those observed at the Wharekirauponga project, located just 2.8 km to the south.
Significant gold-arsenic soil anomalies trend north, northeast and north-northwest strike out individually over 4 kms in length. Drill targets were selected where these surface features coincide with strong resistivity anomalies identified through CSAMT surveying, interpreted to represent major quartz systems.
Simon Henderson, Chief Operation Officer of RUA GOLD, commented: "Receiving approval to commence drilling at Glamorgan is a significant milestone for RUA GOLD. Our exploration team has systematically developed a compelling geological model and identified three priority drill targets supported by coincident geophysical, geochemical and geological indicators.
With drilling now set to test this highly prospective epithermal system for the first time, we have an exceptional opportunity to unlock a potentially significant new gold discovery in one of New Zealand's premier gold districts."
Exploration Work Completed to Date
Exploration activities completed to date include extensive geological mapping, geochemical sampling, TerraSpec clay-mineral analysis, and ultra-detailed magnetic and resistivity surveys. This work has focused on three target areas overlapping with major alteration cells. The alteration cells are directly associated with surface quartz veins, platy quartz after calcite, quartz-adularia mineralization and sinter-like textures, which are characteristic of the upper levels of an epithermal gold-silver system.
The principal components of the surface exploration program completed include:
Geological mappingVein morphologies and orientations mapped across the target areas, paralleling regional trendsSoil and rock-chip samplingSoil geochemistry highlights high-grade gold and arsenic enveloping outcropping quartz veins paralleling north-northeast. Rock-chip sampling revealed anomalous Au (>40 g/t) and Ag (>200 g/t) across wide areas of the permit.TerraSpec spectrometrySi-clay mineralization identified through TerraSpec analysis confirms silica-flooding and chalcedony classic features of the upper levels of epithermal systems, overlying gold-in-soil anomalies.UAV magnetic surveyingApproximately 590 line kilometres ("line-km") were flown, identifying two areas of strong alteration, expressed as demagnetization of the host rocks, that are interpreted to represent the footprint of a major epithermal system.Ground resistivity surveyTwo separate CSAMT campaigns totalling >11 km in length identified several deep-rooted resistive features associated with high-grade gold at surface and surrounded by strongly anomalous gold-in-soil geochemistry.

Glamorgan Exploration Overview
Following the grant of a drone concession in May 2024 and approval for minimum-impact exploration in July 2024, RUA GOLD commenced exploration with an ultra-detailed UAV magnetic survey. The survey comprised approximately 590 line-km flown using a Geometrics MagArrow magnetometer suspended beneath a DJI M300 drone.
Interpretation of the magnetic data has helped define key lithological and alteration features within the Whitianga Group rhyolites and Coromandel Group andesites. The data also indicate major structural features aligned with regional mineralization trends.
Soil sampling commenced in July 2024 along cross-lines spaced 250 metres apart, with samples collected at 20-metre intervals. Infill sampling in target areas and further extensions of the grid have brought the total number of soil samples to 4,137 (Figure 2). All samples dried and sieved at RUA GOLD's Waihi facility, then transported to Reefton for portable X-ray fluorescence ("pXRF") analysis. Each sample was also scanned using a TerraSpec 4 Hi-Res mineral analyzer to characterize the clay-alteration system and identify the upper levels of the epithermal system. A 50-gram subsample was then sent to ALS in Brisbane for low-level gold analysis.
Collection of Controlled-Source Audio-Magnetotellurics (CSAMT) data across two campaigns in Q1 2025 and Q1 2026 covered large parts of the Glamorgan permit area not covered by previously collected Induced Polarisation (IP) data. This has led to the identification of several deep resistors across the target areas with narrow spacing between CSAMT lines enabling correlation of resistors across multiple profiles.
Combination of anomalous soil and rock chip results, geological mapping, and anomalies identified in the UAV magnetics and CSAMT results evidencing large alteration cells was used to identify three main targets for the initial drill program: Sutcliff, Wires Ridge, and Tairua (Figure 2).

The Sutcliff anomaly trends northeast for at least 1.3 km and shows high gold, arsenic, and silver in rock chips and soils. Strong alteration is observed at the surface from geological mapping and UAV magnetics and is underlain by a strong resistor visible in CSAMT data, interpreted to represent the footprint of a major epithermal system. It remains open to the southwest. Its orientation is consistent with that of the WKP deposit, located approximately 3 km southeast of the Glamorgan permit.
The Wires Ridge anomaly trends north-northeast for at least 2.1 km, evidenced by anomalous gold and arsenic geochemistry and strong resistors at depth. This target remains open to the north and south. Its southern extent coincides with the historic Wentworth and Auckland mine workings.
The Tairua anomaly trends northeast over at least 1.6 km and is evident in numerous quartz veins with anomalous gold and silver outcropping across a width of >600m. Quartz veins commonly show extensive banding and width exceeding 50 cm. The broad alteration zone is interpreted as stockwork-like veining. The Tairua anomaly remains open to the south.

FAST TRACK APPLICATION PROCESS
The Company is actively preparing a substantive Fast-Track application for the Auld Creek Project under the Fast-Track Approvals Act 2024. The application includes a comprehensive suite of technical reports and assessment of environmental effects, supported by social impact assessments, and economic studies.
These studies incorporate extensive consultation with local stakeholders and input from leading environmental, social, and technical experts across multiple disciplines, including water quality, ecology, landscape and visual effects, air quality, traffic, socio-economic impacts, geochemistry, erosion and sediment control infrastructure, and mine closure planning.
In parallel, RUA GOLD has completed a PEA in early 2026, with a PFS now underway and targeted for completion in Q4 2026. The Auld Creek PFS is being undertaken by global mining consultancies Mining One and Pitch Black.
The Auld Creek Project is proposed as an underground mining operation with an initial mine life of eight years. The Project is expected to employ approximately 200 people and contribute an estimated NZ$240 million to the regional economy. The longer term plan is to establish a regional processing hub capable of supporting future mining developments in the Reefton Goldfield.
THE FAST TRACK APPROVALS BILL
New Zealand's Fast-Track legisation allows for streamlined permitting for the Auld Creek Project and the acceleration of development timelines. The legislation establishes a "one-stop shop" process through which approvals otherwise required under multiple statutes—including the Resource Management Act, Conservation Act, Wildlife Act and Crown Minerals Act—can be considered together.

Cena zlata ve druhém čtvrtletí výrazně korigovala a zaznamenala nejhorší čtvrtletní výkon od roku 2013. Za poklesem stály především rostoucí očekávání vyšších úrokových sazeb v USA, silnější dolar a ústup části geopolitické rizikové prémie. Přesto analytici Invesca upozorňují, že dlouhodobé podpůrné faktory zůstávají nadále v platnosti. Mezi nejvýznamnější patří pokračující nákupy centrálních bank, zájem o diverzifikaci devizových rezerv a role zlata jako tradičního uchovatele hodnoty v období ekonomické a geopolitické nejistoty.
Cena zlata ve druhém čtvrtletí klesla o 14,1 %, čímž vymazala růst z prvního čtvrtletí. Od historického intradenního maxima dosaženého na konci ledna letošního roku se propadla o více než 1 500 USD za unci.
Volatilita se zvýšila už v dubnu, největší pokles však přišel v průběhu května a června. 24. června se zlato poprvé od listopadu 2025 krátce obchodovalo pod hranicí 4 000 USD za unci. V následujících dnech kolem této psychologicky významné úrovně kolísalo a čtvrtletí zakončilo na 4 008 USD za unci. Šlo o nejhorší výsledek od druhého čtvrtletí 2013, kdy cena zlata čtvrtletně propadla o 22,7 %. Takové korekce však nejsou po dlouhém období výrazného růstu nijak výjimečné a mohou být z dlouhodobého pohledu zdravou součástí vývoje trhu. Navzdory současnému poklesu je zlato za posledních dvanáct měsíců stále výš, a to o 21,3 %.
Přesto přetrvávají rizika dalšího oslabení. Nadcházející měsíce budou pro trh se zlatem klíčové. Investoři budou sledovat především reakci Fedu na vývoj inflace – zda se ukáže jako setrvalá, nebo začne díky nižším cenám ropy ustupovat – a také další vývoj amerického dolaru vůči ostatním hlavním měnám. Vyšší úrokové sazby i silnější dolar bývají pro zlato nepříznivé. Vyšší sazby totiž zvyšují alternativní náklady držby aktiva, které nenese žádný výnos, zatímco silnější dolar zdražuje zlato pro investory mimo Spojené státy.

Co stálo za poklesem ceny zlata? Inflace, dolar a očekávání ohledně Fedu
Za poklesem ceny zlata stálo několik vzájemně propojených faktorů. Především se zvýšily obavy, že inflace bude přetrvávat déle, než se dříve očekávalo, což znamená, že úrokové sazby mohou zůstat vyšší po delší dobu.
Americký dolar zároveň mírně posílil, částečně právě v reakci na změnu očekávání ohledně měnové politiky. Současně se snížila část geopolitické rizikové přirážky, protože trhy začaly věřit, že jednání mezi Spojenými státy a Íránem směřuje k uspokojivému výsledku.
Právě konflikt mezi oběma zeměmi vyvolal výrazné výkyvy cen energií a obrátil pozornost investorů k inflaci. Čím déle konflikt trvá, tím větší je riziko dlouhodobějších inflačních dopadů – nejen prostřednictvím cen ropy, ale i jejich sekundárních efektů v celé ekonomice.
Zdá se také, že investoři věří v postupný návrat inflace pod kontrolu, jak ukazují inflační očekávání (viz obrázek 2). Otázkou však zůstává, zda není tento optimismus předčasný vzhledem k aktuálním datům k inflaci a přetrvávající nejistotě kolem vztahů mezi USA a Íránem.

S příchodem nového předsedy Kevina Warshe se zdá, že Fed je odhodlán důrazněji řešit přetrvávající inflaci, takže možnost zvýšení sazeb se dostala zpět do hry. Ke konci druhého čtvrtletí tržní ocenění naznačovalo 33,7% pravděpodobnost zvýšení sazeb o 25 bazických bodů na konci července, přibližně 67% pravděpodobnost, že Fed zvýší sazby alespoň jednou do zářijového zasedání FOMC. Podle nástroje CME FedWatch činí pravděpodobnost, že budou sazby na konci roku vyšší než dnes, přibližně 83 %.

Výhled pro zlato ve druhé polovině roku 2026
Navzdory současné korekci se domníváme, že většina dlouhodobých podpůrných faktorů pro zlato zůstává zachována. Jedním z nejvýznamnějších je pokračující poptávka centrálních bank, které diverzifikují své devizové rezervy. Podle nejnovějšího průzkumu World Gold Council (WGC) očekává rekordních 45 % oslovených centrálních bankéřů, že během příštích dvanácti měsíců zvýší objem svých zlatých rezerv. Celkem 89 % respondentů předpokládá, že celkové zásoby zlata držené centrálními bankami budou v příštím roce dále růst.
Stejný trend potvrzuje také studie Invesco Global Sovereign Asset Management Study 2026, podle níž většina centrálních bank během posledních tří let navýšila podíl zlata ve svých rezervách. Hlavními důvody jsou rostoucí globální volatilita, ochrana před inflací a geopolitická nejistota.
Poptávka centrálních bank je přitom na vývoj ceny zlata poměrně necitlivá. Naopak investiční poptávka bývá na cenovou dynamiku mnohem citlivější. Růst cen často přitahuje nové investory, zatímco jejich pokles může vést k realizaci zisků, zejména pokud investoři potřebují uvolnit kapitál pro jiné investice.
Významným zdrojem poptávky během dlouhodobého růstu zlata byly také nákupy investičních mincí a menších slitků drobnými investory. Bude proto důležité sledovat, jak na současnou cenovou korekci zareagují právě oni.
Pro drobné i institucionální investory však význam zlata nespočívá pouze v jeho schopnosti chránit před geopolitickými riziky, přestože historicky tuto roli často plnilo velmi dobře.
Zlato představuje účinný diverzifikační nástroj, protože vykazuje nízkou korelaci s většinou ostatních tříd aktiv, zejména s akciemi. Zároveň jde o jedinečné aktivum bez emitenta a bez úvěrového rizika, které si po staletí udržuje pověst spolehlivého uchovatele hodnoty v obdobích, kdy investoři ztrácejí důvěru v měny, instituce nebo fungování finančního systému.
V České republice je možné do zlata investovat prostřednictvím fondu Invesco Physical Gold ETC.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Integra Resources Corp. ("Integra" or the "Company") (TSXV: ITR) (NYSE American: ITRG) is pleased to provide an interim operational update for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. Florida Canyon produced 16,379 ounces of gold during the quarter, a 30% increase from the first quarter of 2026. The increase in gold production was supported by record total material movement, including a 47% increase in ore mined and a 45% increase in ore placed on the heap leach pads quarter-over-quarter. With significantly more ore being placed on the heap leach pad in the second half of this year, the Company expects gold production to increase in the third and fourth quarters and is maintaining full-year gold production guidance of 70,000 to 75,000 ounces.
The Company plans to release its second quarter 2026 financial results after market close on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, followed by a conference call hosted by senior management on Wednesday, August 12, 2026 at 10:00 AM Eastern Time / 7:00 AM Pacific Time.
(All amounts in United States ("U.S.") dollars as at June 30, 2026, unless otherwise stated.)
Q2 2026 Operational Highlights:
Key Operating Metric Improvements Quarter-over-Quarter1: 30% increase in gold produced 16% increase in total tonnes mined 47% increase in ore mined 45% increase in ore placed on heap leach pads 21% increase in processed grade 38% decrease in strip ratio 8% decrease in waste mined The Company mined 4.4 million ("M") tonnes of ore and 3.6 M tonnes of waste at a strip ratio of 0.81 at the Florida Canyon Mine ("Florida Canyon" or the "Mine"). As a result, mining rates averaged 87,867 total tonnes per day ("tpd"), representing a record rate of total material movement at the Mine. The Florida Canyon Mine produced 16,379 ounces of gold and sold 15,794 ounces of gold during the second quarter, a 30% increase in gold production quarter-over-quarter. Gold production is expected to continue increasing through the second half of 2026, supported by the implementation of the N2 ore blending strategy, higher mining rates and increased ore stacking rates on the heap leach pads. Florida Canyon achieved record mining rates during the second quarter, with total tonnes mined increasing 16% from the first quarter. The higher mining rates reflect the successful integration of new mining equipment into the fleet, positioning the operation for stronger gold production in the second half of 2026. The Company released an updated Feasibility Study and Life of Mine Plan (the "Technical Report") for Florida Canyon which highlighted a materially enhanced operation with an 8-year mine life, a 74% increase in Proven and Probable Mineral Reserve, a 17% increase in annual gold production and $0.8 billion ("B") in after-tax free cash flow2.

George Salamis, President, CEO and Director of Integra commented:
"Florida Canyon continued to build operational momentum during the second quarter, with gold production increasing 30% from the first quarter and both total material moved and ore placed on the heap leach pads reaching record levels. Approximately 4.2 million tonnes of ore were placed on the heap leach pads during the quarter, a 45% increase over the first quarter, creating a large inventory of recoverable gold ounces that is expected to support stronger gold production through the balance of this year.
Beyond 2026, work is underway for the long-term transformation of Florida Canyon. As outlined in the June 2026 Technical Report news release, beginning in 2027 the Company expects higher annual gold production, lower operating costs, and stronger cash flow from an 8-year mine life, creating a stable operation to support the continued advancement of the DeLamar and Nevada North Projects."

Florida Canyon produced 16,379 ounces of gold in the second quarter 2026, with 29,014 ounces of gold produced year-to-date. The blending strategy developed in the first quarter of 2026 for N2 ore continues to leach as expected.
Mining activity at Florida Canyon continued to accelerate during the second quarter, with approximately 8 M tonnes mined in total at an average mining rate of approximately 87,867 tpd. Record mining rates were achieved this quarter due to the integration of new mining equipment into the fleet over the last two quarters and shorter haul distances. Subsequent to quarter-end, ore stacking on the heap leach pads has exceeded expectations in July, positioning the operation for stronger gold production over the next two quarters. As a result of these mining rates, the Company maintains annual gold production guidance in 2026 of 70,000 to 75,000 ounces, with increased gold production expected over the balance of the year.

Ve středeční seanci se americké indexy ze začátku mírně korigují, protože investoři jsou opatrní před zveřejněním klíčových zpráv o hospodaření společností jako Alphabet a Texas Instruments, které by mohly poskytnout další signály o obchodu s umělou inteligencí. Trhy se také soustřeďují na americko-íránský konflikt, jelikož obě strany pokračovaly ve vzájemných úderech již jedenáctý den po sobě. Začínají tak vznikat opět obavy z narušení dodávek ropy způsobených potenciálně se rozšiřujícím konfliktem na Blízkém východě. Bohužel, diplomatické jednání nepřineslo okamžitý pokrok. Americký prezident Donald Trump v úterý nabídl na nová jednání s představiteli Iránu pesimistický pohled a uvedl, že Washington „nemá zájem se s Íránem zatím setkat“. Dolar na páru s eurem zatím opslabuje o -0,2% tj. 1,1414 USD/EUR.
V hledáčku investorů je stále ropa, která stále roste a dnes WTI přidává 2,4% a dostává se k úrovni 86,4 USD/barel. Jak ropa roste , tak se opět vynořují obavy investorů že energetický šok způsobený válkou by mohl vyvolat globální inflační výbuch a vlnu zvyšování úrokových sazeb centrálních bank. Tyto komentáře přicházejí v době, kdy média naznačují, že se mediátoři nadále snaží oživit diplomatické řešení íránského konfliktu, který nyní hrozí rozšířením do dalších částí Perského zálivu. Dnes byly také zveřejněny zásoby surové ropy a podle EIA zásoby vzrostly o 2,010 mil. barelů, když trh předpokládal pokles o 1,950 mil. barelů. Tato situace vyhovuje akciím v těžebním sektoru černého zlata a tak akcie těžebního obra Exxon Mobil ( XOM ) přidávají 1,5% a hned v závěsu jsou akcie konkurenta Baker Hughes ( BKR ), jež se posunují výš na tržní ceně více než 1%. Podobně si vedou také akcie Marathonu Petroleum ( MPC ) se ziskem více než 1% a také akcie britské skupiny BP ( BP ) se posouvají výš o více než 1,5%. Solidně si vedou také akcie APA ( APA ), které se přehouply přes 1% a také konkurenční akcie Occidentalu Petroleum ( OXY ) na tržní ceně přidávají cca 1,5%. Velmi slušně si vedou také akcie brazilského těžaře Petrobrasu ( PBR ), jež se pohybují v kladném se ziskem 2,5%. Dnes přidávají na tržní ceně také akcie francouzského výrobce a dodavatele těžní techniky Schlumbergeru ( SLB ) o více než 2% a také akcie amerického konkurenta Halliburtonu ( HAL ) 0,6% a do této skupiny patří také akcie Chevronu ( CVX ), které přidávají cca 1%.
S oslabením dolaru si dnes dobře vede žlutý kov, který přidává 1,4% a zlato se tak dostává l úrovni 4 138 USD/Troy. unci. Tato situace je tak příznivě nakloněna akciím v těžebním sektoru zlata a tak akcie největšího kanadského těžaře Barrick Mining ( B ) dnes zpevňují o 3,9% a hned v závěsu jsou akcie jeho amerického konkurenta Newmontu ( NEM ) s ještě větším ziskem cca 4,5%. Za zmínku stojí také akcie známého těžaře Eldorado Gold ( EGO ), jež se posunují výš o 6,7%.
Za pozornost investorů stojí dnes tabáková skupina Philip Morris ( PM ) vykázala zisk za druhé čtvrtletí, který překonal odhady díky robustním tržbám poháněným poptávkou po jejím nekuřáckém produktu. Náladu však utlumilo určité zklamání z jejího ročního výhledu. Tržby společnosti meziročně vzrostly o 10,4 % na 11,19 mld. USD. Organické tržby byly meziročně vyšší o 7,6 %, zatímco trh očekával růst pouze o 4,91 %. Philip Morris celkově dodal 205,2 mld. jednotek produktů, což představuje meziroční růst o 2,5 %. Zisk na akcii meziročně klesl o 7,7 % na 1,80 USD, a to vlivem nepeněžního odpisu podílu v kanadské RBH ve výši 511 mil. USD (dopad 0,33 USD na akcii). Očištěný zisk na akcii naopak vzrostl o 15,2 % na 2,20 USD (bez měnového vlivu +13,6 %) a překonal očekávání trhu ve výši 2,04 USD. I když výhled byl opatrný, tak investoři pozitivně vnímají reportovaná čísla a akcie Philip Morris ( PM ) posilují na tržní ceně o více než 1,9%.
Své výsledky za 2Q. 2026 dnes představila také telekomunikační společnost AT&T ( T ) Čistý přírůstek postpaid mobilních zákazníků překonal průměrný odhad analytiků.

, /PRNewswire/ -- GoldMining Inc. (TSX: GOLD) (NYSE American: GLDG) (the "Company" or "GoldMining") is pleased to announce that it has filed a technical report (the "Technical Report") which includes the previously announced preliminary economic assessment (the "PEA"), in respect of its São Jorge Project (the "Project"), located in Pará State, Brazil.
The Technical Report, titled "NI 43-101 Technical Report and Preliminary Economic Assessment for the São Jorge Gold Project, Pará State, Brazil" with an effective date of June 9, 2026, is available under the Company's respective profiles at www.sedarplus.ca and www.sec.gov. All currency amounts herein are in US dollars unless otherwise indicated.
The PEA is preliminary in nature, and there is no certainty that the reported results will be realized. The PEA includes inferred mineral resources, which are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that this PEA, including the conceptual economics set out therein, will be realized.
São Jorge PEA Highlights
Strong Economics & Upside Leverage: Modelled an after-tax net present value at a 5% discount rate ("NPV5%") of $532 million and an after-tax internal rate of return ("IRR") of 42.4% utilizing base case gold price of $3,500 per ounce ("oz"). At a gold price of $4,400/oz, the modelled after-tax NPV5% increases to $836.8 million, yielding an IRR of 58.6% and an initial payback of just 2.4 years. High Capital Efficiency & Infrastructure Advantage: Initial capital is estimated at a highly manageable $202 million (including a 25% contingency), representing an attractive 2.6x base case NPV5% to initial capital ratio. This relatively low capital hurdle is directly supported by the Project's ideal location, situated adjacent to existing power lines, paved highways, and an available skilled workforce. Steady Production & Cash Flow: The PEA envisages a robust internal free cash flow, supported by a stable gold production profile averaging an estimated 51,250 oz annually over a 10.6-year life of mine ("LOM"), with peak gold production of 57,200 oz per year in years 2 through 4. Conventional, Resilient Operation: The PEA contemplates a conventional open-pit truck-and-shovel operation and a processing rate of 5,500 tonnes per day. A proven processing flowsheet utilizing standard gravity and leach circuits achieves high metallurgical recoveries of 90% Au, supporting resilient margins and an estimated LOM All-In Sustaining Cost ("AISC") of $1,464/oz. Advancing Pre-Feasibility Studies: The Company is working to commence pre-feasibility studies as the Project is further de-risked and moves forward with permitting towards a construction decision. Alastair Still, CEO of GoldMining commented, "Filing the São Jorge Technical Report marks the next step in the advancement of our portfolio. We are excited by the Project's compelling proposition, which pairs a manageable initial capital requirement with steady gold production and a robust base case NPV set out in the PEA. In addition to offering significant exploration potential, the study highlights the asset's potential resilient margins and rapid payback profile. In parallel to advancing and de-risking the property as we commence prefeasibility studies, we remain focused on drilling nearby exploration targets within our prospective regional-scale property as we continue to unlock value across our broader multi-million ounce Americas portfolio"

Investors often turn to recommendations made by Wall Street analysts before making a Buy, Sell, or Hold decision about a stock. While media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm employed (or sell-side) analysts often affect a stock's price, do they really matter?
Let's take a look at what these Wall Street heavyweights have to say about Gold.com (GOLD - Free Report) before we discuss the reliability of brokerage recommendations and how to use them to your advantage.
Gold.com currently has an average brokerage recommendation (ABR) of 1.33, on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) made by six brokerage firms. An ABR of 1.33 approximates between Strong Buy and Buy.
Of the six recommendations that derive the current ABR, five are Strong Buy, representing 83.3% of all recommendations.
Brokerage Recommendation Trends for GOLD
Check price target & stock forecast for Gold.com here>>>
While the ABR calls for buying Gold.com, it may not be wise to make an investment decision solely based on this information. Several studies have shown limited to no success of brokerage recommendations in guiding investors to pick stocks with the best price increase potential.
Are you wondering why? The vested interest of brokerage firms in a stock they cover often results in a strong positive bias of their analysts in rating it. Our research shows that for every "Strong Sell" recommendation, brokerage firms assign five "Strong Buy" recommendations.
In other words, their interests aren't always aligned with retail investors, rarely indicating where the price of a stock could actually be heading. Therefore, the best use of this information could be validating your own research or an indicator that has proven to be highly successful in predicting a stock's price movement.
With an impressive externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool, the Zacks Rank, which classifies stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), is a reliable indicator of a stock's near-term price performance. So, validating the Zacks Rank with ABR could go a long way in making a profitable investment decision.
ABR Should Not Be Confused With Zacks RankAlthough both Zacks Rank and ABR are displayed in a range of 1--5, they are different measures altogether.
The ABR is calculated solely based on brokerage recommendations and is typically displayed with decimals (example: 1.28). In contrast, the Zacks Rank is a quantitative model allowing investors to harness the power of earnings estimate revisions. It is displayed in whole numbers -- 1 to 5.
Analysts employed by brokerage firms have been and continue to be overly optimistic with their recommendations. Since the ratings issued by these analysts are more favorable than their research would support because of the vested interest of their employers, they mislead investors far more often than they guide.
On the other hand, earnings estimate revisions are at the core of the Zacks Rank. And empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
Furthermore, the different grades of the Zacks Rank are applied proportionately across all stocks for which brokerage analysts provide earnings estimates for the current year. In other words, at all times, this tool maintains a balance among the five ranks it assigns.
Another key difference between the ABR and Zacks Rank is freshness. The ABR is not necessarily up-to-date when you look at it. But, since brokerage analysts keep revising their earnings estimates to account for a company's changing business trends, and their actions get reflected in the Zacks Rank quickly enough, it is always timely in indicating future price movements.
Is GOLD a Good Investment?Looking at the earnings estimate revisions for Gold.com, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has remained unchanged over the past month at $5.31.
Analysts' steady views regarding the company's earnings prospects, as indicated by an unchanged consensus estimate, could be a legitimate reason for the stock to perform in line with the broader market in the near term.
The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for Gold.com. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>
It may therefore be prudent to be a little cautious with the Buy-equivalent ABR for Goldcom.
In the latest close session, Gold.com (GOLD - Free Report) was up +1.25% at $39.56. This change outpaced the S&P 500's 0.38% gain on the day. Elsewhere, the Dow saw an upswing of 0.29%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq appreciated by 0.62%.
Coming into today, shares of the precious metals trading company had lost 10.66% in the past month. In that same time, the Finance sector gained 3.3%, while the S&P 500 gained 1.61%.
Market participants will be closely following the financial results of Gold.com in its upcoming release. The company's upcoming EPS is projected at $0.96, signifying a 26.32% increase compared to the same quarter of the previous year. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $7.76 billion, up 209.04% from the prior-year quarter.
Regarding the entire year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates forecast earnings of $5.31 per share and revenue of $28.27 billion, indicating changes of +144.7% and +157.52%, respectively, compared to the previous year.
It's also important for investors to be aware of any recent modifications to analyst estimates for Goldcom. These revisions help to show the ever-changing nature of near-term business trends. Consequently, upward revisions in estimates express analysts' positivity towards the business operations and its ability to generate profits.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. To utilize this, we have created the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model that integrates these estimate changes and provides a functional rating system.
The Zacks Rank system ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell). It has a remarkable, outside-audited track record of success, with #1 stocks delivering an average annual return of +25% since 1988. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate has witnessed an unchanged state. Gold.com is holding a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold) right now.
Digging into valuation, Gold.com currently has a Forward P/E ratio of 10.76. This valuation marks a discount compared to its industry average Forward P/E of 11.03.
The Financial - Miscellaneous Services industry is part of the Finance sector. With its current Zacks Industry Rank of 162, this industry ranks in the bottom 35% of all industries, numbering over 250.
The Zacks Industry Rank assesses the strength of our separate industry groups by calculating the average Zacks Rank of the individual stocks contained within the groups. Our research shows that the top 50% rated industries outperform the bottom half by a factor of 2 to 1.
Don't forget to use Zacks.com to keep track of all these stock-moving metrics, and others, in the upcoming trading sessions.
, /PRNewswire/ - Falcon Gold Corp. (TSXV: FG) (FSE: 3FA) (OTC Pink: FGLDF) ("Falcon" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has commenced the drill tender process for its fully permitted Central Canada Gold Project located near Atikokan, Ontario.
"Central Canada continues to emerge as one of the most exciting exploration opportunities in Falcon's portfolio," said Karim Rayani, Chief Executive Officer of Falcon Gold Corp. "With a fully permitted drill program, encouraging results from our previous drilling campaigns and more than a century of historic exploration to build upon, we believe we are well positioned to advance this project toward its next significant discovery."
The Company recently received approval for a diamond drilling program consisting of up to 20 drill holes totaling approximately 2,500 metres. Falcon has invited a number of experienced Canadian diamond drilling contractors to submit tenders for the upcoming exploration program, with contractor selection expected to be completed in the coming weeks.
The planned drill program is designed to follow up on Falcon's previously identified high-grade gold mineralization while testing additional priority targets generated through the integration of historical exploration, diamond drilling, geological mapping, geophysics and structural interpretation.
Exploration and development at the Central Canada Gold Project dates back to the early 1900s, when the property was the site of shaft sinking, underground development and limited historic gold production. During the 1930s, Central Canada Mines Ltd. further advanced the property through underground development and exploration, establishing the project as one of the historic gold occurrences within the Atikokan Gold Camp.
To date, Falcon has successfully completed two phases of diamond drilling at the Central Canada Gold Project. These programs confirmed the presence of high-grade, structurally controlled gold mineralization, including highlights of 10.17 g/t Au over 3.0 metres, including 18.6 g/t Au over 1.0 metre with visible gold, and 2.8 g/t Au over 7.5 metres. These results have significantly enhanced the Company's geological understanding of the project and refined several priority drill targets.
The upcoming drill program will focus on expanding and testing the historic Central Canada Mine Trend (J.J. Walshe Mine Trend) together with several additional prospective gold-bearing structures identified across the property, including the Sugar Shear, Monte Zone, No. 2 Vein, Honey Zone and Hoist Zone. Collectively, these targets represent a broad, district-scale mineralized system that remains only partially evaluated by modern exploration despite more than a century of intermittent exploration.
In addition to advancing the Central Canada Gold Project, Falcon continues to strengthen its strategic position within the Atikokan-Hammond Reef Gold District through the recent acquisition of the West Hammond Contact Property, providing shareholders with exposure to a growing portfolio of highly prospective gold projects in one of Ontario's premier exploration districts.
Following completion of the tender process, the Company expects to award a drilling contract and announce the commencement of the program. Mobilization will be subject to financing, contractor availability and customary operational scheduling.
The Company will continue to provide updates as exploration activities progress.

About Falcon Gold Corp.
Falcon Gold Corp. is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration, and advancement of precious and battery metals opportunities across the Americas, with a portfolio spanning established mining camps and emerging exploration districts. Its flagship asset, the Central Canada Gold Project, is located approximately 20 kilometres southeast of Agnico Eagle's Hammond Reef Gold Deposit in northwestern Ontario. The project lies within the highly prospective Quetico Fault Zone, a major regional structural corridor interpreted as a key control on gold mineralization in the district. The Hammond Reef deposit is associated with a northeast-trending structural system linked to this broader regional framework, highlighting the significance of the geological setting. The Central Canada property has a documented exploration and development history spanning more than a century. Early work between 1901 and 1907 included shallow shaft development and small-scale production from high-grade material processed through stamp milling. Between 1930 and 1935, Central Canada Mines Ltd. further advanced the project with deeper underground development, crosscutting, and the installation of a small-scale gold mill. Subsequent exploration programs have included diamond drilling campaigns that returned multiple high-grade gold intercepts, supporting the presence of significant mineralization within the system. Beyond its flagship project, Falcon Gold maintains a diversified portfolio of Canadian exploration assets. This includes a 49% interest in the Burton Gold Property in partnership with IAMGOLD near Sudbury, Ontario, exploration-stage gold targets in British Columbia through the Spitfire and Sunny Boy claims, and the Great Burnt Copper-Gold Project in central Newfoundland.

INITIAL DRILL PROGRAM DESIGNED TO EXPAND HISTORICAL SILVER RESOURCE, EVALUATE GOLD POTENTIAL AND TEST PRIORITY GOLD-ANTIMONY TARGETS
, /PRNewswire/ - A2Gold Corp. ("A2Gold" or the "Company") (TSXV: AUAU) (OTCQX: AUXXF) (FRA: RR7) is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced at its Taylor Silver-Gold Project ("Taylor" or the "Project") located in White Pine County, Nevada.
MAP 1 (above): Taylor District Claim Map and Mineralization Zones (CNW Group/A2 Gold Corp)
MAP 2 (above): Planned Drill Hole Targets at Taylor (CNW Group/A2 Gold Corp) The commencement of drilling at Taylor represents an important milestone for A2Gold following the Company's recently completed acquisition of the Project and the consolidation of key internal claims within the district. Taylor is now held as a unified district-scale land package under a single operator (see Map 1), providing A2Gold with enhanced flexibility to systematically explore and advance the Project.
The initial Taylor drill program consisting of 16-18 Reverse Circulation ("RC") holes for a total of 5,000 metres (see Map 2) is designed to advance three principal objectives:
Expand the Existing Historical Silver Resource
Drilling will focus on areas within and adjacent to the existing historical silver resource footprint, with the objective of confirming and expanding known silver mineralization along strike and at depth. The Company intends to use results from this program to support the preparation of an updated NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate. Evaluate Near-Surface Gold Mineralization
Taylor hosts significant oxide gold exploration potential across a large district-scale corridor. Prior exploration has identified a 3 km by 10 km anomalous gold corridor, with surface sampling and historical drilling indicating potential for near-surface oxide gold mineralization. Gold was not included in the historical 2018 silver resource estimate, and A2Gold believes there is an important opportunity to evaluate the potential contribution of gold mineralization to the broader Taylor system. Test Priority Gold-Antimony and CRD Targets
The program will also begin testing priority gold-antimony targets identified through historical work, surface sampling, geological mapping and modern geophysical surveys. These targets are considered important to evaluating Taylor's potential as a precious metals project with meaningful critical mineral upside. The broader district also includes carbonate replacement deposit ("CRD"), skarn and porphyry exploration concepts that remain largely untested by modern drilling. Peter Gianulis, CEO of A2Gold, commented: "The start of drilling at Taylor is an important moment for A2Gold. In a short period of time, we have acquired the Taylor Project, consolidated the district under one operator, and now moved directly into drilling. Taylor gives us a second district-scale Nevada project with an existing historical silver resource, meaningful gold potential, and an emerging antimony opportunity at a time when critical minerals are becoming increasingly important in the United States. We believe Taylor has the potential to become an important Nevada silver-gold project with multiple avenues for discovery and resource growth."

John Marma, CPG, a Certified Professional Geologist with the American Institute of Professional Geologists and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information contained in this news release.
About A2Gold Corp
A2Gold Corp. has built a multi-asset gold-silver exploration platform in Nevada, one of the world's premier mining jurisdictions. The Company controls approximately 230 km² of prospective mineral tenure across its Eastside and Taylor projects, both district-scale assets with large precious metals resources with significant exploration and resource growth potential.
Eastside hosts an inferred mineral resource of 1.4 million ounces of gold and 8.8 million ounces of silver*, while Taylor adds a highly prospective exploration district with gold, silver, antimony and porphyry-skarn upside. Backed by a fully funded exploration program and a strong pipeline of catalysts, A2Gold is focused on unlocking value through resource expansion, new discoveries and systematic district-scale exploration.
A2Gold is also supported by a strong shareholder base, including Kinross Gold Corporation, which owns approximately 9.9% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares.
* Updated Resource Estimate and NI 43-101 Technical Report, Eastside and Castle Gold-Silver Project Technical Report, Esmeralda County, Nevada," prepared by Mine Development Associates of Reno, Nevada, with an effective date of July 30, 2021. Pit-constrained Inferred Resources, using a cut-off grade of 0.15 g/t Au, total 61,730,000 tonnes grading 0.55 g/t Au and 4.4 g/t Ag at the Original Pit Zone, representing 1,090,000 ounces of gold and 8,700,000 ounces of silver, and 19,986,000 tonnes grading 0.49 g/t Au at the Castle Area, representing 314,000 ounces of gold, using a gold price of US$1,725/ounce. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred mineral resources are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves.

Serafino Iacono, Executive Chairman of Denarius Metals, commented, "This early progress at the Las Brisas Target reinforces our confidence in the continuity and quality of the known ore deposits at Zancudo. The 2026 in-fill drilling program has been designed taking into account the successful results achieved in our 2024 in-fill drilling campaign and underscores the potential and prospectivity of delineating new zones and expanding existing ones near planned mining infrastructures. We look forward to providing further updates through the course of this year's drilling campaign".
Las Brisas Target – Details of the Drilling Results
The Las Brisas Target represents an unexploited block within the Manto Antiguo structure preserved by past mining. The in-fill drilling program for the Las Brisas Target has been designed at 50x50 meters drill centers from eight platforms (IF-5 to IF-12) aimed at better delineating and confirming the consistency of mineralization on the two ore-shoots outlined by previous drilling on the Manto Antiguo and Santa Catalina structures, of which the Manto Antiguo ore shoot is controlled by the intersection of the Manto Antiguo and Santa Catalina structures and which usually shows wider and higher-grade intercepts. The drilling program on the Las Brisas Target commenced in late April 2026 with one drill rig operating from purpose-built surface drill platforms and comprises a total of approximately 6,000 meters of drilling to be carried out in 29 diamond drill holes. The results announced herein have been received from the final assays for the first four drill holes totaling approximately 660 meters carried out from the first purpose-built surface drill platform (IF-7). The initial drilling was successful in confirming the high-grade gold and silver mineralization in the ore-shoots outlined by previous drilling on the Manto Antiguo structure. All the drill holes completed to date on Manto Antiguo, totaling approximately 560 meters, have intercepted the structure at the estimated depth with maximum intersection grades of 27.83 g/t Au and 5,564 g/t Ag over 0.30 m from 160.60-160.90 m (ZM-197). Initial drilling was also successful in confirming the high-grade gold and silver mineralization in the ore-shoot outlined by previous drilling on the Santa Catalina structure. All the drill holes completed to date on Santa Catalina, totaling approximately 660 meters, have intercepted the structure at the estimated depth with maximum intersection grades of 28.70 g/t Au and 38 g/t Ag over 0.30 m from 94.30-94.60 m (ZM-195). The following table lists the key sub-intervals from the ongoing Las Brisas in-fill drilling program with grades greater than 4 g/t AuEq cut-off ("Cut-off") associated with main intervals that, in some cases, might not meet the Cut-off:

Please refer also to the attached illustrative images 1 to 4 showing the location of the drill holes reported herein from the 2026 drilling campaign along with a sketch of the main structures for the Las Brisas Target and long sections showing intercept locations for the Manto Antiguo and Santa Catalina veins.
Manto Antiguo and Santa Catalina Structures
The Manto Antiguo structure, which was the main structure mined historically, is interpreted as a WNW-ESE trending brecciated manto structure that merges into the footwall of the Santa Catalina structure. The northerly-trending Santa Catalina structure, which dips steeply to the east near surface and gently at depth, is interpreted as a mineralized master fault structure and feeder of the mineralization for the entire vein system. The Manto Antiguo structure, which is usually narrow, shows a typical breccia texture with incipient quartz-sulphide banding and milled wall rock clasts. The mineralization consists of pyrite, arsenopyrite, sphalerite and galena. Fragments of argillic-altered schist are observed, which host pyrite veinlets.
2026 Drilling Program
The 2026 drill program comprises a planned total of 15,000 meters on several target areas within the Zancudo Project, including Las Brisas, El Castano, Independencia Mine and brownfield. The 2026 drill program has been designed to deliver important data for further resource modelling, mine planning and optimization of production stope design to guide our mine development programs as Denarius Metals ramps up mining activities at Zancudo in 2026 and 2027 to feed the Project's new 1,000 tonnes per day flotation processing plant that is currently under construction and expected to be operating later this year.

Investors often turn to recommendations made by Wall Street analysts before making a Buy, Sell, or Hold decision about a stock. While media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm employed (or sell-side) analysts often affect a stock's price, do they really matter?
Before we discuss the reliability of brokerage recommendations and how to use them to your advantage, let's see what these Wall Street heavyweights think about Gold.com (GOLD - Free Report) .
Gold.com currently has an average brokerage recommendation (ABR) of 1.00, on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) made by six brokerage firms. An ABR of 1.00 indicates Strong Buy.
Of the six recommendations that derive the current ABR, six are Strong Buy, representing 100% of all recommendations.
Brokerage Recommendation Trends for GOLD

The ABR suggests buying Gold.com, but making an investment decision solely on the basis of this information might not be a good idea. According to several studies, brokerage recommendations have little to no success guiding investors to choose stocks with the most potential for price appreciation.
Are you wondering why? The vested interest of brokerage firms in a stock they cover often results in a strong positive bias of their analysts in rating it. Our research shows that for every "Strong Sell" recommendation, brokerage firms assign five "Strong Buy" recommendations.
This means that the interests of these institutions are not always aligned with those of retail investors, giving little insight into the direction of a stock's future price movement. It would therefore be best to use this information to validate your own analysis or a tool that has proven to be highly effective at predicting stock price movements.
Zacks Rank, our proprietary stock rating tool with an impressive externally audited track record, categorizes stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), and is an effective indicator of a stock's price performance in the near future. Therefore, using the ABR to validate the Zacks Rank could be an efficient way of making a profitable investment decision.
ABR Should Not Be Confused With Zacks RankIn spite of the fact that Zacks Rank and ABR both appear on a scale from 1 to 5, they are two completely different measures.
The ABR is calculated solely based on brokerage recommendations and is typically displayed with decimals (example: 1.28). In contrast, the Zacks Rank is a quantitative model allowing investors to harness the power of earnings estimate revisions. It is displayed in whole numbers -- 1 to 5.
Analysts employed by brokerage firms have been and continue to be overly optimistic with their recommendations. Since the ratings issued by these analysts are more favorable than their research would support because of the vested interest of their employers, they mislead investors far more often than they guide.
In contrast, the Zacks Rank is driven by earnings estimate revisions. And near-term stock price movements are strongly correlated with trends in earnings estimate revisions, according to empirical research.
Furthermore, the different grades of the Zacks Rank are applied proportionately across all stocks for which brokerage analysts provide earnings estimates for the current year. In other words, at all times, this tool maintains a balance among the five ranks it assigns.
Another key difference between the ABR and Zacks Rank is freshness. The ABR is not necessarily up-to-date when you look at it. But, since brokerage analysts keep revising their earnings estimates to account for a company's changing business trends, and their actions get reflected in the Zacks Rank quickly enough, it is always timely in indicating future price movements.
Should You Invest in GOLD?Looking at the earnings estimate revisions for Gold.com, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has remained unchanged over the past month at $5.31.
Analysts' steady views regarding the company's earnings prospects, as indicated by an unchanged consensus estimate, could be a legitimate reason for the stock to perform in line with the broader market in the near term.
The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for Gold.com. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>
It may therefore be prudent to be a little cautious with the Buy-equivalent ABR for Goldcom.
