VANCOUVER – Baystreet.ca News Commentary – Global resource investment has reached a systemic inflection point, with total spending on energy and natural resources supply projected to reach $1.58 trillion in 2026[1] as inventories hit multi-decade lows. This discovery momentum is reinforced as investment banks fundamentally reassess valuation frameworks[2] to prioritize geological certainty and drill-bit catalysts in fast-tracked jurisdictions. This structural realignment creates asymmetric upside for a select group of high-signal platforms: RUA GOLD Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF), MAX Power Mining (CSE: MAXX) (OTCID: MAXXF), CanAlaska Uranium (TSXV: CVV) (OTCQX: CVVUF), Amaroq (TSXV: AMRQ) (OTCQX: AMRQF), and Minera Alamos (TSXV: MAI) (OTCQX: MAIFF).
Institutional analysts now predict that high-grade resource re-ratings will become the primary value driver for junior mining sentiment[3] as capital rotates into tier-1 assets. This alpha cycle is supported by forecasts of gold averaging $5,055 per ounce by the final quarter of 2026[4] as the global minerals scramble enters its most aggressive phase.
RUA GOLD Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) is accelerating the development of a strategic gold-antimony sanctuary in the South Pacific as Western nations scramble to secure non-Chinese sources of critical minerals.
According to a fresh update released to start the week, the company is aggressively expanding its footprint within New Zealand’s historic Reefton Goldfield, where recent drilling has confirmed a major high-grade system at the Auld Creek project.
This development arrives at a pivotal moment as China tightens export controls on approximately 60% of the world's antimony production, and New Zealand formally designated the metal as critical. This shift places RUA GOLD at the epicenter of a global geopolitical rotation toward sovereign supply chains.
The latest assay results from Auld Creek demonstrate exceptional scale and grade, highlighted by drill hole ACDDH050 which intersected 3.0m @ 21.27 g/t AuEq (4.5 g/t Au & 3.9% Sb) from a depth of 137m. These results have effectively extended the deposit strike length by 250 meters to a total of 870 meters, with the mineralized system remaining open in all directions and at depth via plunging ore shoots.
With three drill rigs now operating on a double-shift basis from January 2026, the company is fast-tracking resource development to grow the gold-antimony resource above 300,000 ounces on the next reserve refresh expected in Q1 2026.
The company is now moving toward production by leveraging New Zealand’s new legislative framework called the FAST TRACK process, designed to accelerate projects of national significance to receive permits within 6 months, the fastest permitting regime in the world.
“We intend to use the FAST TRACK legislation for the Auld Creek gold-antimony project, with the objective of bringing New Zealand’s largest known antimony deposit into production," said Robert Eckford, CEO of RUA GOLD. "Our confidence in this permitting regime was reinforced by the approval of OceanaGold’s Wharekirauponga gold-silver project in December 2025”.
Within the Reefton, RUA GOLD controls 120,000 hectares in a district that historically produced over 2Moz of gold grading between 9 and 50g/t. The company is also advancing the Glamorgan Project on New Zealand’s North Island, adjacent to OceanaGold’s Wharekirauponga development.
With $14 million in cash on hand (according to last reported figures) and a leadership team behind US$11 billion in prior exits, RUA GOLD is well-positioned to deliver meaningful discovery growth.

In other industry developments and happenings in the market include:
MAX Power Mining (CSE: MAXX) (OTCQB: MAXXF) has confirmed Canada's first natural hydrogen drilling discovery at its Lawson target in Saskatchewan, with hydrogen concentrations reaching 286,000 ppm confirmed through independent laboratory analysis. The discovery establishes a working subsurface system featuring free gas flow to surface and robust reservoir drive on the company's 475-kilometre Genesis Trend, positioning MAX Power at the forefront of an emerging clean energy sector.
"This is a defining moment for MAX Power, Saskatchewan and Canada," said Ran Narayanasamy, President and CEO of MAX Power Mining. "We have confirmed the existence of a Natural Hydrogen system in the subsurface from the first well ever drilled in this country specifically targeting this new primary energy source."
MAX Power plans to advance Lawson toward commercial evaluation through a 47-square-kilometre 3D seismic survey in February followed by a confirmatory well during H1 2026. The company holds approximately 1.3 million acres under permit with an additional 5.7 million acres under application across Saskatchewan's highly prospective natural hydrogen geology.
CanAlaska Uranium (TSXV: CVV) (OTCQX: CVVUF) has announced significant exploration programs across its 500,000-hectare portfolio in Saskatchewan's eastern Athabasca Basin, with winter drill programs starting in the coming weeks at the Key Extension and Nebula projects located south of the Key Lake Mine and Mill. The company has identified over 23 kilometres of largely untested conductive corridor across both properties following recent high-resolution airborne geophysical surveys.
"The Nebula project targets outlined for 2026 represent some of the best early-stage Eagle Point uranium deposit style exploration discovery opportunities I have seen in my career," said Cory Belyk, CEO of CanAlaska Uranium. "I look forward to the first drillholes into this exciting 16-kilometre-long target corridor."
CanAlaska is fully funded to complete its 2026 exploration programs and has also commenced a $15 million drill program at the West McArthur Project. Additional geophysical surveys are planned for the Waterbury South and Cree East projects to generate future drill targets.
Amaroq (TSXV: AMRQ) (OTCQX: AMRQF) has reported year-end gold production of approximately 6,600 ounces from its flagship Nalunaq mine in Southern Greenland, exceeding the midpoint of its 6,000 to 7,000 ounce annual guidance range during what the company characterized as a commissioning year. The Greenland government has also awarded final Impact Benefit Agreement approval for the operation.
"In what has been a commissioning year for our Nalunaq mine in Southern Greenland, I am very pleased to announce gold production came above the mid point of the guidance range," said Eldur Olafsson, CEO of Amaroq. “We are very proud to have had the final impact benefit agreement for our Nalunaq mine approved; it is significant milestone, not only for Amaroq but also demonstrates how a successful mining industry in Greenland is being developed. I very much look forward to bringing the market more news, as we progress into the new year and phase 2 commissioning.”
Production guidance and budget for 2026 will be announced in late February, with mining and processing rates expected to remain consistent into the new year. Amaroq continues advancing its pipeline of satellite gold targets across South and West Greenland while developing its Black Angel zinc-lead-silver project.
Minera Alamos (TSXV: MAI) (OTCQX: MAIFF) exceeded fourth quarter production guidance with 9,165 ounces of gold from its Pan Operating Complex in Nevada. The company sold 8,492 ounces during the quarter at preliminary cash costs of $1,549 per ounce and all-in sustaining costs of $1,604 per ounce, with the remaining 673 produced ounces sold at the beginning of 2026.
"Having closed the acquisition of the Pan Operating Complex on October 1, 2025, Q4 was our inaugural quarter as a gold producer in Nevada, USA," said Darren Koningen, CEO of Minera Alamos. "Our strong operating team at Pan showed a seamless transition under Minera Alamos ownership, resulting in gold production of 9,165 ounces at AISC of US$1,604 per ounce."
Full-year 2025 gold production of 35,303 ounces achieved annual guidance of 30,000–40,000 ounces from the Pan mine. Minera Alamos increased its unrestricted cash balance to $34 million as of December 31, 2025, positioning the company to execute its strategy to become a leading Americas-focused intermediate gold producer.
