Gold Closes In On $4,000 Milestone as Mining Stocks Surge 125% Year-to-Date

Issued on behalf of GoldHaven Resources Corp.

VANCOUVER – Baystreet.ca News Commentary – Gold soared to a record $3,949.71 per ounce on Monday, building momentum toward the $4,000 milestone as the precious metal caps a near-50% rally in 2025[1]. This historic run has created explosive profit margins for gold producers (and even explorers), with the VanEck Gold Miners ETF rocketing 125% year-to-date, and the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index returned 52.65% in the first seven months of 2025, substantially outperforming gold's own remarkable gains[2]. The convergence of record pricing, earnings estimates for major miners surging 80%[3], and mining equities remaining historically undervalued positions GoldHaven Resources Corp. (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF), P2 Gold Inc. (TSXV: PGLD) (OTCQB: PGLDF), Red Pine Exploration Inc. (TSXV: RPX) (OTCQB: RDEXF), PPX Mining Corp. (TSXV: PPX) (OTCPK: SNNGF), and B2Gold Corp. (NYSE-American: BTG) (TSX: BTO).

Gold miners are historically undervalued relative to gold, a trend likely to reverse during this secular bull market as institutional investors seeking alternative return sources discover the sector's low correlation with broader equity markets[4]. The combination of gold approaching $4,000, explosive margin expansion, and top analysts projecting gold could reach $5,000 over the next year[5] creates a compelling window for investors to position in gold mining equities before the next wave of appreciation accelerates.

GoldHaven Resources Corp. (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) has commenced its maiden 1,200-meter diamond drilling program at the Copeçal Gold Project in Mato Grosso, Brazil—and the timing couldn't be more strategic. Picture this: after decades of systematic reconnaissance work, the drills are finally turning on high-conviction gold targets that have been waiting in one of Brazil's most established gold provinces. This isn't exploratory wandering; this is precision testing of 3-kilometer strike extensions aligned with regionally significant shear corridor systems that experienced geologists have been eyeing for years.

The drilling program zeroes in on Copeçal East and West zones, where persistent gold-in-soil signatures penetrate up to 30 meters through the weathered saprolite horizon—the kind of geological fingerprints that make exploration geologists sit up and pay attention.

Here's what makes this different: the foundation includes 107 auger drill penetrations, VLF-EM geophysical mapping, and substantial historical work programs executed by tier-one operator AngloGold Ashanti, and also by Boa Gold. That exploration pedigree matters because AngloGold didn't randomly choose this area—their regional generative work identified the Juruena belt as one of Brazil's most prospective greenfields terranes, methodically defining these prominent target zones through stream sediment sampling, soil geochemistry, and geophysical surveys. The heavy lifting has been done; now it's time to validate what the data has been suggesting.

"Copeçal has all the hallmarks of a compelling greenfields opportunity," said Jon Hill, former Exploration Manager for AngloGold Ashanti during the project's initial discovery phase, and current Country Manager in Brazil for GoldHaven. "As part of the original team that identified the area, I've always believed this project warranted drill testing. It sits in an underexplored but highly fertile mineral belt, and thanks to AngloGold's foundational work, we have robust geochemical and geophysical datasets to guide us. Exploration is rarely instant, it requires time, persistence, belief, and, of course, a bit of luck. But with the caliber of the targets we're testing, I'm confident that Copeçal has the potential to host an important mineralized system. I'm looking forward to writing the exam on this project with GoldHaven."

Beyond the immediate drill targets, consider the strategic positioning: 3,681 hectares with year-round road access, just 60 kilometers from Alta Floresta—a regional hub with daily commercial flights. This isn't remote speculation; it's positioned within a growing cluster of significant developments including G Mining's multi-million-ounce Tocantinzinho deposit. Infrastructure matters when you're thinking about what comes after discovery.

"This is a key value-creation moment for GoldHaven," said Rob Birmingham, CEO of GoldHaven. "We've built a strong technical foundation and are now able to drill-test our priority targets associated with consistent gold-in-soil anomalies linked to robust geological structures defined by our geophysical programs."

While drills turn at Copeçal, GoldHaven has simultaneously advanced comprehensive summer field programs across its wholly-owned Magno and Three Guardsmen assets in northern British Columbia, securing 354 and 126 samples respectively. The Magno Project footprint expanded by 5,159 hectares through strategic claim staking, consolidating coverage across the Cassiar Stock—a 72 Ma Cretaceous granite body directly linked to the property's mineralized occurrences. This is textbook portfolio construction: multiple shots on goal across proven mineral belts.

"The team's work has not only expanded the Magno Project by over 5,000 hectares to consolidate the Cassiar Stock but also confirmed the presence of high-potential skarn and CRD-style mineralization with strong analogues to Coeur Mining's Silvertip Project," said Birmingham. "At Three Guardsmen, our field program highlighted high-grade copper mineralization extending over a kilometer of strike, with evidence pointing to a nearby porphyry system. These results validate our exploration strategy and provide an exciting foundation for advancing both projects toward their full potential."

GoldHaven's portfolio strategy delivers what smart exploration investors look for: multiple exploration catalysts across established mineral belts. The company controls strategic ground positions through claim packages totaling 123,900 hectares distributed across three Brazilian projects, backed by a comprehensive 43-101 Technical Report for Copeçal and over $1 million in predecessor exploration expenditures. That's geological validation that mitigates exploration risk while preserving the meaningful discovery potential that makes junior exploration compelling in the first place.

P2 Gold Inc. (TSXV: PGLD) (OTCQB: PGLDF) has received permits from the Bureau of Land Management to commence drilling at its Gabbs Project in Nevada, with a 4,500-meter program targeting expansion of the Sullivan Zone, which hosts approximately 60% of the project's mineral resources. The Sullivan Zone drilling aims to upgrade Inferred resources to the Indicated category and explore updip and downdip extensions with potential for increased gold grades.

The Gabbs Project hosts Indicated resources of 0.72 million ounces gold and Inferred resources of 1.28 million ounces gold, with drilling expected to commence mid-October. A positive preliminary economic assessment has outlined annual average production of 104,000 ounces gold over a 14.2-year mine life.

Red Pine Exploration Inc. (TSXV: RPX) (OTCQB: RDEXF) has intersected high-grade gold mineralization at its Wawa Gold Project, with recent results including 7.76 g/t gold over 15.49 meters (including 84.20 g/t gold over 1.00 meter) in the potential open pit area. The company has completed its 69-hole, 24,531-meter drilling program and commenced an updated independent mineral resource estimate with WSP Canada Inc.

"We are excited by these near surface drill results that continue to identify higher grades within the Jubilee Shear Zone," said Michael Michaud, CEO of Red Pine Exploration Inc. "With the drilling for the updated mineral resource estimate now completed, we are moving forward to completing a preliminary economic assessment in the first half of 2026."

The company has funding in place to complete the PEA and is advancing metallurgical, geotechnical, and baseline work to support permitting. Additional near-surface drilling to further expand gold mineralization is set to begin shortly as Red Pine transitions from explorer to producer.
