Gold's Breakout Year in 2025: How Strategic Miners Are Capitalizing on the Surge

Gold's Breakout Year in 2025: How Strategic Miners Are Capitalizing on the Surge

Equity Insider   News Commentary

Issued on behalf of Lake Victoria Gold Ltd.

With gold recently breaking above $3,200 per ounce, major banks are revising their forecasts even higher— UBS now sees gold hitting $3,500 while Deutsche Bank is targeting $3,700 . As economic uncertainty continues to escalate, gold's parabolic price action is drawing renewed attention from investors looking for safe havens and inflation protection. Many are turning to physical bullion and gold ETFs, but a growing number are also eyeing gold mining stocks which can offer amplified exposure to rising gold prices . Amid this momentum, several gold-focused companies are generating fresh interest, including Lake Victoria Gold (TSXV: LVG) (OTCQB: LVGLF), Integra Resource Corp. (NYSE-American: ITRG) (TSXV: ITR), GoldMining Inc. (NYSE-American: GLDG), Freegold Ventures Limited (TSX: FVL) (OTCQX: FGOVF), and Vox Royalty Corp. (NASDAQ: VOXR) (TSX: VOXR).

Gold mining stocks have been steadily gaining ground alongside the precious metal's historic run. While large-cap miners have seen their stock prices pop off , several junior exploration companies are also making headlines with encouraging drill results that could signal major upside potential.

Lake Victoria Gold (TSXV: LVG) (OTCQB: LVGLF), an emerging East African gold developer, recently secured four new Mining Licenses at its Tembo Project in northern Tanzania , marking a major step forward in its development strategy.

"The approval of our Mining Licenses is a pivotal step forward for the Tembo Project," said Marc Cernovitch, President & CEO of Lake Victoria Gold . "We have always believed in the district-scale potential of this asset. With tenure now secured for the next 10 years, we can focus on evaluating the most efficient development options to unlock maximum shareholder value."

Situated in Tanzania's well-known Lake Victoria Goldfield, Lake Victoria Gold's (LVG) flagship project has already attracted more than US$28 million in exploration investment, including the completion of 50,000 meters of diamond and reverse circulation (RC) drilling. This depth of historical work provides a robust technical foundation and positions the project with a meaningful head start compared to earlier-stage peers.

The recent conversion of LVG's Prospecting License into four Mining Licenses represents a major step forward, significantly reducing regulatory uncertainty and paving the way for focused development planning. Each Mining License is valid for an initial 10-year term and includes an option for an additional 10-year renewal, offering long-term operational visibility.

With extensive exploration data already in hand, the company has identified three high-priority targets within the Tembo Project area. These zones are showing encouraging gold grades and carry the hallmarks of potential resource growth as the project enters its next phase of advancement.

At the Ngula 1 target, drilling has outlined a broad, mineralized corridor roughly 250 meters wide and extending at least 600 meters in length—open in both directions and at depth. This structural zone hosts multiple gold-bearing veins, with notable intercepts like 3.13 grams per tonne (g/t) of gold over 25.89 meters and an especially compelling interval of 22.18 g/t over 15 meters. The combination of grade and scale here supports the potential for a meaningful gold system with room to grow.

Just to the west, at the Nyakagwe Village target, drilling has confirmed additional high-grade gold zones hosted within multiple mineralized structures. Highlight results include 78.1 g/t of gold over one meter and 27.88 g/t over 3.96 meters—intercepts that reinforce the potential for high-margin material, whether for near-term production or longer-term development.

At Nyakagwe East, drilling has revealed a wide, 300-meter mineralized zone marked by strong quartz veining and sulphide content—geological indicators commonly associated with gold deposition. Standout results such as 19.1 g/t over three meters and 10.25 g/t over 3.5 meters continue to demonstrate the project's consistency when it comes to delivering high-grade intercepts.

With key Mining Licenses now in place, Lake Victoria Gold is actively assessing its development pathway. Shallow, high-grade zones may support early-stage open-pit mining, while nearby toll milling options could allow for gold production to begin without major upfront capital on processing infrastructure. As work advances, LVG is also evaluating the potential for a standalone plant if future volumes support the case for in-house processing.

On the exploration front, Lake Victoria Gold still has significant blue-sky potential ahead. A follow-up drill program is now being planned to build on historical high-grade intercepts and begin converting them into formal resource estimates. Meanwhile, a recent geological review pinpointed 38 new exploration targets across the property—suggesting that the known high-grade zones might only be the beginning of what Tembo could ultimately yield. Fieldwork is already underway to begin testing these targets for additional gold discoveries.

In parallel, LVG is keeping its options open when it comes to partnerships or strategic opportunities. The Tembo Project shares a border with Barrick's world-class Bulyanhulu Mine, and the two companies have a working relationship. In 2021, LVG sold six non-core licenses to Barrick in a deal worth $6 million upfront, plus up to $45 million in potential milestone payments tied to future discoveries. That transaction helped fund Tembo's advancement while still giving LVG a potential upside in any gold found next door.

"We believe Tembo represents a rare opportunity to define a new gold camp in one of Tanzania's most historically productive districts," said Simon Benstead , Executive Chairman of Lake Victoria Gold . "With multiple exploration and development levers available to us, and a supportive regulatory environment, we're committed to responsibly unlocking the full value of this high-potential asset."

Looking ahead, Lake Victoria Gold intends to advance development at Tembo while steadily moving its flagship Imwelo Project toward production. With Mining Licenses secured and a highly prospective land package in one of Africa's most established gold belts, Tembo is positioned to become a key pillar in LVG's broader growth strategy. The groundwork is in place for this project to play a meaningful role in the company's next chapter.

FREEGOLD ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF $42 MILLION BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT FINANCING

Freegold Ventures Limited (TSX: FVL) (" Freegold " or the " Company "), is pleased to announce that further to its news release of March 18, 2025 the Company has closed its upsized brokered private placement offering for aggregate gross proceeds of $41,975,805 which includes the exercise in full of the agent's option for additional gross proceeds of $5,475,105 . Paradigm Capital acted as sole agent (the " Agent ") on the Offering.

Freegold Ventures Limited logo (CNW Group/Freegold Ventures Limited)

In connection with the Offering, the Company entered into an agency agreement (the " Agency Agreement ") dated April 3, 2025 , between the Company and the Agent. In accordance with the Agency Agreement, 49,383,300 units of the Company (the " Units ") were issued at a price of $0.85 per Unit. Each Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company (a " Unit Share ") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a " Warrant "). Each Warrant is exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company (a " Warrant Share ") for 24 months from today's date at an exercise price of $1.30 per Warrant Share. The Warrants are callable by the Company should the daily volume-weighted average trading price of the common shares of the Company on the Toronto Stock Exchange exceed $1.30 for a period of twenty (20) consecutive trading days, at any time during the period (i) beginning on the date that is 6 months from the closing date of the Offering, and (ii) ending on the date the Warrants expire (the " Call Trigger "). Following a Call Trigger, the Company may give notice (the " Call Notice ") to the holders of the Warrants (by disseminating a news release announcing the acceleration) that any Warrant that remains unexercised by the holder thereof shall expire thirty days following the date on which the Call Notice is given.

The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the offering for general working capital and corporate purposes, with a primary focus on advancing the Golden Summit project. Drilling at Golden Summit is expected to resume next month, and an updated Mineral Resource Estimate is anticipated later in the second quarter, once the assays from the 2024 drill program have been finalized.

Mr. Eric Sprott , through an entity owned and controlled by him, purchased an aggregate of 14,814,900 Units in the Offering, representing 30% of the Units issued under the Offering.

Pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (" MI 61-101 "), the purchase of Units by Mr. Sprott was a "related party transaction". The Company was exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation in connection with the Offering in reliance on section 5.5(c) of MI 61-101, as the issuance of Units to Mr. Sprott was a distribution of securities of the Company to a related party for cash consideration. The issuance of the Units to Mr. Sprott was exempt from the requirement to obtain minority shareholder approval in reliance on section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the Units received by Mr. Sprott nor the proceeds for such securities received by the Company exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization as calculated in accordance with MI 61-101.

A material change report will be filed less than 21 days from the date of the closing of the Offering. Closing the Offering in this shorter period was reasonable in the circumstances as the Company determined the shorter period was necessary because the terms of the transaction were favorable to the Company, given uncertain market conditions time was of the essence in closing the Offering, and closing the Offering expeditiously was in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.

The Offering is subject to the final approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange. All securities issued pursuant to the Offering will have a hold period of four months and one day.

The securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the " U.S. Securities Act "), or any U.S. state security laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration under the U.S. Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws or compliance with requirements of an applicable exemption therefrom.  This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States , nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Freegold Achieves Over 93% Recovery Using Albion Process oxidation-CIL Additional Metallurgical Work Remains Ongoing

Freegold Achieves Over 93% Recovery Using Albion Process oxidation-CIL Additional Metallurgical Work Remains Ongoing

  • Total gold recovery of over 93% from a composite comprised of core from 8 drill holes representing the Dolphin/Cleary resource area.
  • The flowsheet consists of gravity – flotation - concentrate cleaning - Albion Process™ oxidation - CIL (carbon-in-leach).
  • A sulfide concentrate representing approximately 3% of the process plant feed has been treated using standard Albion™ Process testing procedures appropriate for the current stage of the Golden Summit Project development, resulting in a downstream CIL stage extraction of over 97%.
  • The exceptional CIL stage extraction of gold has been achieved with less than 75% sulfur oxidation.
  • Further optimization of this flowsheet and testing of other oxidation processes are ongoing.

Freegold Ventures Limited (TSX: FVL) (OCTQX: FGOVF) ("Freegold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce additional results based on the ongoing metallurgical test work on drill hole composites from the 2020 2022 drill programs. The objectives of the recently completed testwork were:

Freegold Ventures Limited logo (CNW Group/Freegold Ventures Limited)

  • Advancement of understanding of gold deportment and recovery methods from previously released metallurgical test work results
  • Optimization of gold recovery and flowsheet make-up considering the minimization of both future capital and operating cost intensity with the benefit of significant additional and overall gold recovery

Eight drill core composites, representing different locations and grades within the Dolphin and Cleary areas, were created using continuous drill intervals chosen to reflect potential mill feed. (Refer to the map below for hole locations.) The selections of drill holes and intervals included the three primary gold-hosting lithologies. The results indicate that a gold recovery rate of 93% can be achieved using standard and commercially employed mineral processing operations. The composites were prepared from laboratory assay rejects of fresh rock intervals located well below the existing oxide cap at Golden Summit. Eight drill hole composites were utilized, comprising 1,192 meters of drill intercepts that represent 587 continuous mineralized intervals with a total material weight of over 5,100 kilograms.

Summary of Gold Recovery

Since 2020, drilling activities at the Golden Summit project have significantly bolstered its potential, reinforcing the project's viability through positive metallurgical outcomes and a marked increase in overall resources. The current pit-constrained resource includes both oxide and primary resources, with the oxide component located within the upper 70 meters. Previous column tests on the oxide material indicate that heap leach gold recoveries can reach 85% within two weeks. Ongoing optimization efforts are focused on delineating the most effective flow sheet for the sulphide component before initiating a pre-feasibility study.

The strategic plan for 2025 outlines extensive drilling initiatives aimed at upgrading resources from the inferred category to the indicated category, which is crucial for completing the planned pre-feasibility study. The September 2024 Primary Resource, using a 0.5 g/t cut-off, is 346,304,000 tonnes at 1.08 g/t Au (12,050,000 contained ounces) in the indicated mineral resource category and 308,311,000 tonnes at 1.04 g/t Au (10,306,000 contained ounces) in the inferred mineral resource category.

In 2024, 41 holes, totaling 25,708m , were drilled. Assay results from twelve drill holes related to the 2024 program are pending. Results from the 2024 program will be incorporated into an updated mineral resource estimate expected to be released later in 2025.

Ongoing Metallurgical Work: The primary areas of focus in the next phase of metallurgical test work are in progress and include:

  • Comminution studies using half PQ core
  • Flotation concentrate oxidation pre-treatment utilizing BIOX® and POX prior to CIL
