Smart capital is rotating into high-grade gold assets in emerging markets, driven by record central bank gold purchases (863 tonnes in 2025) and plateaued global mine production (~3,672 tonnes). Lake Victoria Gold completed drilling at its Imwelo project in Tanzania confirming mineralization extends beyond current pit design. Other developers like Galiano Gold, Omai Gold Mines, Aris Mining, and K92 Mining are advancing projects with strong production guidance and exploration programs.

Aris Mining has completed the acquisition of the remaining 49% interest in the Soto Norte joint venture in Colombia from MDC Industry Holding Company LLC, now owning 100% of the project and terminating the previous precious metals stream.

Terra Rossa Gold Ltd. plans to re-commence exploration of its Vetas Gold Project in Colombia, leveraging historical drilling data from 2010-2013 that revealed high-grade gold and silver vein mineralization in the Santander region.

Collective Mining reported successful drilling results at its Guayabales Project in Colombia, extending the Ramp Zone with two new drill holes showing significant gold and silver mineralization, with potential similarities to the nearby Marmato Deeps deposit.

Aris Mining released a prefeasibility study for its Soto Norte Gold Project in Colombia, highlighting a 3,500 tonnes per day underground mine with robust economics, low operating costs, and strong environmental and community development features.

Aris Mining signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Colombia's Ministry of Energy and Mines to formalize artisanal and small-scale miners (ASMs) near Marmato, aiming to enhance safety, environmental practices, and community opportunities in gold mining operations.

Aris Mining reported a 8% year-over-year increase in gold production for Q1 2025, with strong operational momentum across its Segovia and Marmato operations. The company is on track to meet its full-year production guidance of 230,000 to 275,000 ounces.
