Gold Demand Shatters Records as Producers Post Historic Results

Gold Demand Shatters Records as Producers Post Historic Results

Issued on behalf of GoldHaven Resources Corp.

USANewsGroup.com News Commentary Gold is trading above US$5,000 per ounce in February 2026, holding at levels that would have seemed implausible a year ago. Fibonacci analysis now projects a base case of US$6,100, with Wells Fargo raising its forecast to US$6,100 to US$6,300 and JPMorgan targeting US$6,300[1]. The supply side of the equation is equally significant: S&P Global confirmed a 10 million metric tonne copper supply deficit by 2040, with demand projected to reach 42 million metric tonnes as AI infrastructure and defense spending accelerate faster than new mines can be permitted[2]. Against that backdrop, GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH), Orla Mining (TSX: OLA), Lundin Gold (TSX: LUG), TRX Gold (TSX: TRX), and Aya Gold & Silver (TSX: AYA) are advancing gold assets across the Americas, Africa, and Morocco.

Gold's bull market has been building for over a year. Prices rose approximately 70% in 2025, the strongest annual performance since the 1970s, underpinned by central bank purchases of roughly 850 tonnes and Q4 2025 retail ETF inflows exceeding 280 tonnes[3]. Global gold demand exceeded 5,000 tonnes for the first time in history last year, lifting the total value of consumption to US$555 billion, a 45% increase year over year[4]. For producers, record gold prices are translating directly into expanded margins, increased dividends, and accelerated exploration budgets. For explorers, the math is straightforward: every confirmed ounce in the ground is worth significantly more today than it was twelve months ago.

GoldHaven Resources  (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) has confirmed gold mineralization in bedrock at its Copeçal West Target in Brazil, with the first-ever drilling at the high-priority zone returning 39 meters at 0.11 g/t gold from 58 meters depth in unweathered rock. That interval, from hole COPE-PDH-008, included 3 meters grading 0.30 g/t gold and represents the first confirmation that the broad surface gold anomaly at Copeçal is sourced from a mineralized system in fresh bedrock beneath a thick saprolite layer that had previously masked the geology below. All four holes drilled at the Western Target intersected anomalous gold. Hole COPE-PDH-006 returned 7 meters at 0.46 g/t gold, including 1 meter at 1.21 g/t. Hole COPE-PDH-007 cut 28 meters at 0.14 g/t gold with a 1-meter intercept grading 1.04 g/t. Hole COPE-PDH-005 hit 30 meters at 0.16 g/t gold from surface, including 22 meters at 0.20 g/t. The consistency of anomalous gold across all four holes validates the company's exploration model and provides a strong foundation for follow-up drilling designed to vector toward higher-grade zones at depth and along strike.

"These latest drill results represent a major milestone for the Copeçal Project," stated Robert Birmingham, CEO of GoldHaven. "For the first time, we have confirmed gold anomalism in fresh bedrock beneath the thick saprolite profile that previously masked the system. Importantly, these are the first holes ever drilled at the Western Target, and the results provide strong confidence that the robust surface geochemical anomaly is sourced from an underlying mineralized system."

The Copeçal Gold Project sits within the Alta Floresta Mineral Province, a Paleoproterozoic belt in Brazil's Juruena Gold Province where GoldHaven Resources holds 3,681 hectares. The region is recognized for hosting multiple gold and copper occurrences, and the company previously completed its inaugural diamond drilling program at Copeçal's East Target, where nine holes totaling 1,085.7 meters discovered bornite, suggesting potential for a substantial gold-copper system.

Beyond Brazil, GoldHaven Resources has confirmed anomalous tungsten mineralization at its Magno Property in British Columbia, where the 2025 surface program returned bonanza silver grades up to 2,370 grams per tonne and tungsten values reaching 6,550 ppm across multiple skarn zones. The company also confirmed high-grade copper at its Three Guardsmen Project, with surface sampling returning up to 15.85% copper. GoldHaven now controls 133,186 hectares across proven mining jurisdictions, with all projects supported by a comprehensive 43-101 Technical Report.
