Gold Inflows Haven’t Been this Hot Since the Pandemic of 2020
Distributed on behalf of Trident Resources Corp.
After briefly rallying above $3,400, gold now trades at $3,343.30. From here, analysts at Fidelity say the safe haven metal could soar to $4,000 by the end of next year. All of which is a strong catalyst for gold-related stocks, such as Trident Resources Corp. (TSXV: ROCK) (OTCQB: TRDTF), Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM) (TSX: NGT), Barrick Mining (NYSE: B) (TSX: ABX), Franco-Nevada Corp. (NYSE: FNV), and B2Gold Corp. (NYSE AMERICAN: BTG) (TSX: BTO). According to the firm, higher gold prices could be “driven by interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve, a weaker dollar, and an expansion of central bank holdings of bullion,” as noted by MSN.com.
In addition, gold ETF inflows soared to 170 tonnes in the second quarter of 2025. That combined with first quarter inflows resulted in the strongest first half for gold inflow since the inflows of 2020. Plus, “central banks worldwide are on track to buy 1,000 metric tons of gold in 2025, which would be their fourth year of massive purchases as they diversify reserves from dollar-denominated assets into bullion, consultancy Metals Focus said,” as reported by Reuters.
Goldman Sachs and Bank of America also say the metal could test $4,000 by 2026. All thanks to expectations for lower interest rates, geopolitical uncertainty, and central banks, as well.

Jonathan Wiesblatt, Trident’s CEO, commented: "Our latest land acquisition further adds to Trident’s overall portfolio of highly prospective claims in the La Ronge Gold Belt. The Company is in an excellent financial position to maximize the value of our existing gold projects in addition to adding strategic new claims surrounding our current project portfolio. Trident is well-funded with over $11.0M in cash and marketable securities on its balance sheet. Over the next few months, the Company will focus on its exploration work which includes drilling at Contact Lake to confirm the high-grade potential resources and testing the extension of the trend both along strike and at depth.”
Geological Summary:
The newly acquired claims are underlain by the northeast-trending La Ronge Domain Central Metavolcanic Belt supracrustal rocks that consist of mafic to intermediate pyroclastics and flows. Numerous gold showings are documented within the newly acquired claims and typically consist of pyrite and associated gold mineralization within rusty, vuggy quartz veining hosted within a sheared sequence of andesitic to dacitic rocks and granitic plugs.

Franco-Nevada Corp. CEO Paul Brink just noted, “I am very pleased with our record financial results this quarter,” stated Paul Brink, CEO. Our portfolio largely produced as expected for the quarter and higher gold prices contributed to record revenue, operating cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA margins and earnings. We also saw constructive developments in Panama, including the shipment of the remaining copper concentrate from Cobre Panama. During the quarter, we acquired a royalty on IAMGOLD’s Co^te´ Gold Mine, one of Canada’s newest large-scale gold mines and, post quarter-end, a royalty on AngloGold’s Arthur Project, one of the largest gold discoveries in Nevada. We anticipate new contributions from Co^te´ and growing contributions from Porcupine and Tocantinzinho to be the main drivers for higher GEOs in the second half of the year. Our acquisitions over the last 18 months have positioned us for strong long-term growth that may be further enhanced by a potential restart at Cobre Panama.”
