Gold prices have skyrocketed in recent trading sessions, hitting US$2,065 per-ounce for the first time in history. Gold Prices have retreated since the latest run up, and last traded at US$1,950 per-ounces.

As we have entered a new bull market for precious metals, investors will look at key companies to gain exposure to the yellow brick.

“The combination of roaring energy prices, grain prices, base metal prices are culminated in dramatic inflationary pressures that continue to be the major underlying support behind gold moves higher,” David Meger, director of metals trading at High Ridge Futures.

“In addition, we’re seeing significant amount of safe haven bids in the gold market as equity markets have come under pressure due to major concerns on the geopolitical front,” Meger added.

Some of the largest financial institutions have revised their targets for gold, U.S. investment firm Goldman Sachs has pushed up its gold price projections in light of recent political events.

Looking closer at the forecasts the bank changed its 3-month horizon to $2,300/oz, from $1950 previously. The 6-month protection has moved to $2,500/oz, from $2050/oz previously
And lastly the 12-month horizon to $2,500/oz, from $2150/oz previously. Goldman is citing an increase in demand from consumers, investors, central banks. Due to the rising geopolitical uncertainty.

ONE GOLDSTOCK FOR YOUR WATCHLIST?

Amani Gold (ASX: ANL) (OTC: BRYYF)is currently sitting on an impressive 4.4Moz gold resource at their Giro Gold Project and has multiple targets outlined to define additional ounces. The Giro Gold project consists of two permits covering 497 sq. km and hosts the same geological setting as the $5 BILLION Kibali Gold Mine which is currently operated by Barrick Gold (TSX: ABX) and Anglo Ashanti. Giro is strategically located 35km from Kibali which currently hosts a massive 20Mozgold resource.

Kibali was originally founded by serial mining executive Klaus Ekchof who has built a career by unlocking significant shareholder value through exploration success. Moto Goldmines was trading at $0.04 in 2003, within a short period, Klaus was able to delineate 12Moz of gold at Kibali and was later acquired by Randgold Resources for US$500M in 2009. Since the US$18Bmega-merger of Randgold X Barrick (TSX: ABX) went down in 2019, Mark Bristow was tapped to take the helm of the newly formed company. The Kibali gold mine produced a total of 812,152 ounces in 2021, and expects to increase its mineral reserves net of depletion for the third successive year, maintaining its plus 10-year life as one of Barrick Gold’s (TSX: ABX) Tier One assets.

Some of these results include:

• GRRC058: 97m at 2.56g/t  Au from surface to bottom of hole
• GRRC075: 47m at 4.13g/t Au from 25m, including 29m at 5.93g/t Au from 25m

The Douze Match deposit currently hosts a 320K ounce gold resource and has delivered exceptional results indicating a potential of a significant gold resource expansion. Previous intercepts returned:

• 2m at 196g/t Au from 12m & 15m at  255.6g/t Au from 15m, including 3m at 1,260g/t Au from     15m
