The sustained institutional buying is coinciding with unprecedented M&A activity in the gold sector, where deals increased 32% to 62 transactions in 2024, accounting for 70% of all mining M&A activity as companies seek scale and operational leverage[3]. This convergence of central bank accumulation, institutional flows, and strategic consolidation is creating exceptional conditions for companies like RUA GOLD Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF), i-80 Gold Corp. (NYSE-American: IAUX) (TSX: IAU), OceanaGold Corporation (TSX: OGC) (OTCQX: OCANF), Osisko Development Corp. (NYSE: ODV) (TSXV: ODV), and New Found Gold Corp. (NYSE-American: NFGC) (TSXV: NFG). Source: USA News Group |
