VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 21, 2025 /CNW/ -- USA News GroupNews Commentary – Already this week gold surged past $4,300 per ounce (for the first time in history)^[1], capping a remarkable 60% year-to-date rally driven by persistent inflation, geopolitical tensions, and aggressive central bank buying. This unprecedented price environment is expanding profit margins across the gold mining sector as production costs remain relatively stable, creating compelling economics not only for established producers but also for development and exploration companies advancing projects toward production^[2]. With analysts projecting sustained strength in gold prices, companies at various stages of the mining lifecycle are attracting investor attention as the sector capitalizes on historically favorable market conditions. That momentum is creating opportunities for GoldHaven Resources Corp. (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF), Monument Mining Limited (TSXV: MMY) (OTCPK: MMTMF), Loncor Gold Inc. (TSX: LN) (OTCQX: LONCF), NevGold Corp. (TSXV: NAU) (OTCQX: NAUFF), and Cabral Gold Inc. (TSXV: CBR) (OTCQB: CBGZF).

Institutional analysts are racing to raise their price forecasts, with Bank of America projecting gold will reach $5,000 per ounce by 2026 as central bank purchases continue at record levels^[3]. These bullish projections are fueling investor interest across the entire gold mining value chain, from explorers drilling high-potential targets to near-production developers securing construction financing, as higher gold prices improve project economics and create pathways to value creation that didn't exist at lower price levels.

GoldHaven Resources Corp. (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) is a Canadian junior exploration company that recently completed its second diamond drill hole at the Copeçal Gold Project in Brazil's Juruena Gold Province, a historically productive region that has yielded substantial gold discoveries since the late 1970s.

The second hole (COP-002) reached 121 meters depth and displayed enhanced alteration and veining intensity compared to the first hole, including broader zones of silicification, localized biotite alteration, and quartz veining with sericite-chlorite and weak carbonate alteration. These features are commonly associated with hydrothermal gold systems and represent exactly the type of geological indicators the company hoped to encounter.

The 3,681-hectare Copeçal project sits in Mato Grosso, Brazil, approximately 60 kilometers from Alta Floresta. AngloGold Ashanti, one of the world's largest gold mining companies, invested approximately $1 million in systematic exploration work here between 2010 and 2016, identifying a 6-kilometer-long gold-in-soil anomaly before shifting focus to other global projects. GoldHaven is now testing whether this surface gold signature extends to depth and could indicate an economic gold deposit. The company is testing high-priority gold targets on a property that benefits from substantial previous exploration by a major mining company.

"We're encouraged by the geological consistency and strengthening alteration we're seeing in our first two drill holes at Copeçal," stated Rob Birmingham, President and CEO. "These early results support our interpretation of a large, structurally controlled system with the potential to host gold mineralization. With the drill now turning on our third hole, we look forward to expanding our understanding of the East Target and delivering steady news flow as we advance this exciting project."

The 1,200-meter drilling program uses Ecodrill with NQ-size diamond core (47.6mm diameter) to drill 5-6 angled holes up to 150 meters deep. The program is testing two zones called East and West, both showing persistent gold-in-soil signatures extending across 3-kilometer strike lengths. The drill rig has been mobilized to the third drill pad, positioned approximately 100 meters west along strike from the first two holes, continuing to test the continuity of the East Target's mineralized corridor. Core samples are being processed at ALS Global laboratories, with sample preparation in Cuiabá and assays in Belo Horizonte. Assay results are expected in 4-6 weeks.

"Copeçal has all the hallmarks of a compelling greenfields opportunity," said Jon Hill, former Exploration Manager for AngloGold Ashanti during the project's initial discovery phase, and current Country Manager in Brazil for GoldHaven, in a previous announcement. "As part of the original team that identified the area, I've always believed this project warranted drill testing. It sits in an underexplored but highly fertile mineral belt, and thanks to AngloGold's foundational work, we have robust geochemical and geophysical datasets to guide us."

GoldHaven's exploration work leading up to this drilling program included 107 auger drill penetrations and VLF-EM geophysical surveys that helped pinpoint the best drilling locations. The Copeçal asset benefits from year-round road access via highway MT-325 and sits just 60 kilometers from Alta Floresta, a regional hub serviced by daily commercial air connections. The project is positioned among a growing cluster of significant developments including G Mining's multi-million-ounce Tocantinzinho deposit.

Parallel to Copeçal drilling, GoldHaven has advanced comprehensive summer field programs across its wholly-owned Magno and Three Guardsmen assets in northern British Columbia. The Magno Project footprint has been strategically extended by 5,159 hectares through targeted claim staking.

GoldHaven's project portfolio includes claim packages totaling 123,900 hectares distributed across three Brazilian projects, supported by a comprehensive 43-101 Technical Report for Copeçal.
