The gold market is thriving, and mining companies are reaping the benefits. With gold prices climbing past $2,200/oz, exploration and production are rapidly scaling up across key regions, from Nevada to Western Australia.
Experts point to a combination of factors — including inflation fears, geopolitical tensions, and central bank demand — as the main drivers behind the price spike. Major mining firms like Newmont and Barrick Gold have expanded operations and exploration budgets in response.
Meanwhile, junior miners are entering the game, targeting high-grade deposits in previously overlooked areas like Northern Canada and parts of West Africa. Technology is also playing a role, with AI-based geological surveys helping locate new reserves faster than ever.
