Areus Asset Management: Generating Investor Value with a Unique Approach to Portfolio Management
Areus Asset Management provides an alternative asset investment opportunity through its Alpha Gold Fund, an investment vehicle to access a portfolio that otherwise cannot be accessed publicly. The company is offering the Areus Alpha Gold Fund, which creates a new way to profit from gold without relying on the asset continually appreciating. The Areus Alpha Gold Fund primarily invests in the XAUUSD spot, a gold-based currency pair widely considered to be the second most liquid pair in the currency market. The value of XAUUSD is determined by the price of gold relative to the US dollar.
A unique component of Alpha Gold is that the fund does not rely on increasing gold prices to generate value. Instead, the portfolio generates returns from natural price action volatility regardless of the general direction of the underlying asset price.
The Alpha Gold fund went live on March 1, 2022, and has reached a significant milestone for any portfolio manager by returning a net +48.91 percent to investors from March 1, 2022 to February 28, 2023. Alpha Gold ended 2022 positively by generating results uncorrelated to other market trends, such as inflation fears and the energy crisis.
Company Highlights
- Areus Asset Management offers an alternative investment vehicle through its Alpha Gold Fund, a unique approach to capitalizing on gold’s value without depending on continual price appreciation.
- The Alpha Gold Fund invests in the XAUUSD spot, a high-liquidity gold-based currency pair whose value is determined by the price of gold relative to the US dollar.
- The Fund does not rely on gold continually appreciating to increase investor value. Instead, value is generated from natural price action volatility, regardless of which direction that value is moving.
- Areus Asset Management’s fund recently reached a significant milestone by achieving +48.91 percent returns for a 12-month period since inception. These results outperform major index funds, which were all negative for the same period.
- The Alpha Gold Fund’s unique approach allows results independent from other macroeconomic trends, such as inflation and geopolitical tension, evident in its recent results.
- Two award-winning teams lead Areus Asset Management towards continually generating investor value through experienced portfolio management.

Newmont Reports Strong Q2 Financials Despite Production Challenges
Newmont (TSX:NGT,NYSE:NEM) has reported strong financial gains in its Q2 2024 results despite operational challenges affecting gold production.
The US-based mining company produced 1.6 million attributable gold ounces and 477,000 gold equivalent ounces from copper, silver, lead and zinc. Its gold production was down 4 percent from the previous quarter due to operational suspensions at Cerro Negro and Telfer.
Despite these setbacks, the company saw positive gains across the board.
Financially, Newmont generated US$1.4 billion in consolidated net cash from operating activities, an 80 percent increase from the previous quarter, and reported free cash flow of US$594 million in free cash flow. The company also reported an adjusted net income of US$834 million, translating to US$0.72 per share.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) for the quarter stood at US$2 billion, while the firm’s balance sheet remains robust with US$2.6 billion in consolidated cash and US$6.8 billion in total liquidity.
Additionally, Newmont reported that since the release of its Q1 earnings report it has repurchased 5.7 million shares at an average price of US$43.34, totaling US$250 million, and reduced nominal debt by US$250 million.
Newmont anticipates a production increase in the latter half of the year, particularly in Q4, driven by higher grades and improved throughput at key sites.
“As we head into the second half of the year, we remain confident in our ability to continue executing on shareholder returns, meet our full year guidance and deliver on our commitments," Newmont President and CEO Tom Palmer commented on the quarterly performance.
Looking ahead, Newmont is committed to advancing its key expansion projects at Tanami Expansion 2, Ahafo North, Cadia Block Caves and Cerro Negro, while also progressing with its exploration activities to discover and develop new resources to sustain long-term production.

Nova Minerals Completes NASDAQ IPO, Secures Growth Capital
Gold and critical minerals exploration company Nova Minerals (ASX:NVA,NASDAQ:NVA,NASDAQ:NVAWW) announced the closing of its underwritten NASDAQ initial public offering (IPO) of 475,000 units on July 26.
“A US listing has been our goal for a long time as the logical next step with our flagship Estelle Gold Project being a North American asset and an increasing US investor base,” Nova Minerals CEO Christopher Gerteisen said. “Now it’s a reality, and we believe this can be a catalyst to create further shareholder value through increased exposure and liquidity available in the US market.”
Each unit, priced at US$6.92, consists of one American Depositary Share (ADS) representing ordinary shares and one warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable at US$7.266 per ADS for five years, and the ratio of ADS-to-ordinary-share is one to sixty (1:60).
The pricing was first announced on July 24, the same day that the ASDs and warrants began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols NVA and NVAWW respectively.
Gross proceeds are approximated at US$3.3 million (AU$4.9 million), which Nova said it intends to use for resource and exploration field programs, feasibility studies and general working capital.
"The company is preparing a targeted drill program to commence shortly and continues with the critical technical studies required for the completion of a robust PFS as we progress along the path to production," Gerteisen said.
Situated in the Tintina Gold Belt in Alaska, US, the Estelle gold project contains multiple deposits across a 35 kilometer long mineralized corridor with more than 20 identified gold prospects. Estelle also hosts silver, copper and lead, as well as critical metals antimony, bismuth and tungsten.
Assuming that all steps proceed according to the projected schedule, the prefeasibility study is targeted for 2025, with a definitive feasibility the following year.

Gold, Silver and Markets Up on Shrinking PCE Data
Data from the US Bureau of Economic Statistics show that inflation continues to cool in the release of June’s personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index on Friday (July 26).
The report shows that the June PCE increased by 0.1 percent month-over-month over May, up slightly from May’s 0.0 growth. On an annualized basis the PCE increased 2.5 percent, down from the 2.6 percent year-over-year increase reported in May, both coming in line with expectations.
When it comes to prices, the Bureau indicated a 0.2 percent decrease in goods compared to May, but this was offset by a 0.2 percent increase in the price of services. As for the more volatile segments, food saw a 0.1 percent increase while energy prices fell by 2.1 percent.
The economic analysis also showed a weakening in the growth of personal and disposable income, with both coming in up 0.2 percent month-over-month, down from May’s 0.4 percent monthly growth and below the 0.4 percent predicted by analysts.
How this will play into next week’s meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee is unknown. However, the PCE is the favored index for the Federal Reserve as it sets its key policy rates.
The broad consensus is the Fed is unlikely to make a change when it meets on Tuesday and Wednesday, but as inflation ticks closer to the 2 percent target set by the central bank, analysts suggest the chance of a cut in September has become stronger.
Gold and silver both rose by just over 0.5 percent as of 4 pm EDT, with gold moving to US$2,387 and silver rising to US$27.92. However, silver found resistance at the US$28 level, which it plunged below on Wednesday, July 24.
More broadly, equity markets all saw gains above 1 percent by the close of trading today, with the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) increasing to 5,459.09 points, the Nasdaq 100 (INDEXNASDAQ:.ENDX) climbing to 19,023.66 points and the Dow Jones Industrial Index (INDEXDJX:.DJI) rising to 40,589.34 points.

Kirgella Gift and Providence: First Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 76,400 oz Au from only 3m depth
WA-focused gold explorer, Kalgoorlie Gold Mining (ASX: KAL) (‘KalGold’ or ‘the Company’), is pleased to announce its first Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE, reported in accordance with the JORC Code (2012)) for the Kirgella Gift and Providence gold deposits (Figure 1 and Figure 2) at the Company’s Pinjin project, 140 km to the northeast of Kalgoorlie-Boulder.
Highlights
- First Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate for Kirgella Gift and Providence of: 2.34 Mt @ 1.0 g/t Au for 76,400 oz at a 0.5 g/t gold cut-off from only 3m depth.
- Gold mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike between Kirgella Gift and Providence:
- Potential for significant resource growth and upgrade following additional drilling to expand on unclassified blocks outside current model limits.
- Highly economic discovery with KalGold’s direct exploration expenditure cost (drilling and assay) of only ~A$4.20 per gold ounce.
- KalGold’s Total Mineral Resource base, comprising this new resource from the Pinjin Project, and the La Mascotte deposit at Bulong Taurus (see ASX: KAL 7th March 2023), now stands at 214,300 oz.
- Elevated gold price of over A$3,600/oz continues to drive interest in mineable gold projects.
“KalGold is proud to report the first Mineral Resource Estimate at the Kirgella Gift and Providence gold deposits. It totals ~76,000 oz defined at over 1.0 g/t Au from only 3m depth, remains open in several directions, and is considered the first step in defining the full potential of the Kirgella Gift and Providence gold deposits. Pleasingly, we have defined a shallow gold resource at a very low cost to the Company of around A$4.20 per gold ounce.
The Kirgella and Providence mineral resource estimate is comparable to other deposits within the Laverton Tectonic Zone and is considered typical of the region. This is particularly true of some of the constituent deposits at Ramelius Resources’ (ASX:RMS) Rebecca Gold Project, around 20 km to the south along strike.
KalGold now has defined a total resource base of 214,300 oz of gold. The increased resource base enables KalGold to commence high level mining optimisation studies to assess pathways to production. KalGold looks forward to continuing to progress its work in the Pinjin area with the aim of significantly growing this initial JORC Code (2012) resource and defining a suite of additional shallow resources.”
First Gold MRE at KalGold’s Pinjin Project
The Inferred MRE of 2.34 Mt @ 1.0 g/t Au for 76,400 oz Au has been defined at a 0.5 g/t gold cut-off from the Company’s recent drill focus on the shallow portion of the Kirgella Gift and adjacent Providence gold deposits (see Table 1), combined with thoroughly validated historic datasets. Work continues on both deposits, with gold mineralisation open at depth and along strike between the two. This MRE is expected to form the basis of future updates as drilling and exploration continues.

Gold Explorer Ordell Minerals Debuts on ASX after Raising $6M
The founding team behind gold miner Genesis Minerals returns, bringing an advanced WA gold and lithium exploration portfolio to market.
Ordell Minerals Limited (ASX Code: “ORD”) (“Ordell” or “the Company”) is pleased to advise that Ordell has listed on the ASX today, bringing to market a high-quality portfolio of exploration assets in Western Australia.
Highlights:
- New gold explorer lists on ASX raising $6 million (30m shares at $0.20) (before costs).
- Ordell’s key asset is an 80% interest in the Barimaia Gold Project, located in the Murchison region of Western Australia, which is an advanced gold exploration asset with significant historical drilling results.
- Barimaia hosts an extensive and underexplored gold system, with historical RC drilling returning significant results including:1
- 15m @ 11.4g/t Au from 74m
- 17m @ 3.4g/t Au from 49m
- 19m @ 1.5g/t Au from 18m
- 5m @ 4.0g/t Au from 43m
- 70m @ 0.7g/t Au from 59m
- Ordell’s experienced board of directors includes former Genesis Minerals Limited (ASX:GMD) Chair Tommy McKeith and former Managing Director Michael Fowler.
- Highly leveraged to exploration success, with a market capitalisation of ~$10m at listing.
The Company’s flagship asset is the Barimaia JV Gold Project (“Barimaia”), located in the Murchison region of WA, which represents an advanced exploration project with significant historical drilling results.
Ordell acquired its 80.2% interest in Barimaia from Genesis Minerals Limited (ASX: GMD) (“Genesis”), which is now a major shareholder of Ordell with an 8% shareholding upon listing. Barimaia was never systematically explored due to Genesis’ strategic focus on its assets in the Leonora region.
Ordell has reunited key members of the team that oversaw the significant growth of Genesis between 2016 and 2021, including former Genesis Chair Tommy McKeith and former Managing Director Michael Fowler, who will be working to progress the exploration of Barimaia.
Barimaia is located in a Tier-1 mining jurisdiction in close proximity to several gold processing plants, lying adjacent to Ramelius Resources’ Mt Magnet mill, 70km from Spartan Resources’ Dalgaranga mill and 80km from Westgold Resources’ Tuckabianna mill (see Figure 1).
Previous exploration by Genesis identified an extensive gold system at Barimaia, with historical RC drilling highlighting shallow open pit potential.
In addition to the Barimaia Project, Ordell also holds the Goodia Lithium Project, located in WA’s Kalgoorlie-Norseman lithium district about 50km south of Develop’s (ASX: DVP) Dome North lithium deposit, and the Fisher South Gold Project in the Laverton gold district.
Ordell Managing Director, Michael Fowler, said: “Having previously been closely involved in the exploration of the Barimaia Project in my past role as Managing Director of Genesis Minerals, I am looking forward to getting back on the ground at Barimaia.”
“Located in the heart of one of Western Australia’s most exciting gold districts, Barimaia lies within trucking distance of several gold processing plants, with past exploration confirming strong potential for a shallow Resource.”
“Given its location right on the doorstep of Ramelius’ Mount Magnet gold project, and with strong geological similarities to Eridanus which is currently being mined by Ramelius, our plan is to systematically drill the known 2.5km strike extent at Barimaia to target Eridanus type discoveries.”
“In addition to Barimaia, we also hold the earlier-stage Goodia Lithium Project and Fisher South Gold Projects, both of which offer exciting greenfields discovery opportunities.”
“I would like to thank everyone involved in Ordell’s Initial Public Offer process. In what is still a tough IPO market but with strong support from our shareholders, Lead Manager Argonaut and Legal Advisor Steinepreis Paganin, we were able to successfully complete the offer.”
