How To Participate in the New Gold Rush
Over the past decade, gold prices have steadily increased, recently reaching a high of $3,500 USD. This trend has resulted in notable returns for some investors. Historically, gold has shown strong long-term performance compared to other asset classes
Gold surpasses euro as second-largest reserve asset. According to ECB’s annual currency assessment published Wednesday, at about 20% of the official reserves at the end of 2024, surpassing the euro’s 16%. The US dollar maintained its lead at 46% but continued its steady decline.
Central banks bought 244t of gold in the first quarter of 2025.
Central banks will keep buying gold in a push to diversify away from paper currencies amid political and economic upheaval, according to billionaire hedge-fund manager John Paulson. Bloomberg News

“Underpinning our forecast for gold prices heading towards $4,000/oz. next year is continued strong investor and central bank gold demand averaging around 710 tonnes a quarter on net this year,” the bank wrote in a note Tuesday.
Analysts at Bank of America see gold prices reaching $4,000 an ounce — an 18% jump above current levels — within the next year.
Western investors are finally back in the gold market after being largely absent for the past three years. This time, they’re coming in force with big purchases of bullion-backed exchange-traded products.
World’s 50 most valuable miners are now worth $1.4 trillion, up $80 billion from end-2024 boosted by gold stocks.

For investors who did not participate in recent gains in the gold market, gold exploration stocks may present a lower-entry-cost opportunity with potential for growth.
Between 2010 and 2016, AngloGold Ashanti conducted extensive exploration work across the GOLDHAVEN (GOH) project and its surrounding tenements, investing in geochemical surveys, geophysics and drilling. This work led to the identification of multiple gold-bearing anomalies, setting the stage for further exploration.
AngloGold's exploration confirmed that the GOLDHAVEN project lies at the intersection of two major shear zones, characteristic of other significant gold deposits in the region.

GOLDHAVEN's tenements cover a total of 9,096 acres (3,681 hectares) in a geologically favourable setting within the Juruena gold province of Brazil.
The presence of multiple deposit styles, along with the confirmation of large-scale gold deposits in the Juruena province of Brazil, underscores the significant potential of the GOLDHAVEN project.
Figure 2 – GoldHaven auger drilling, June 2025
The Company has just completed 2,100 m of Auger drilling for the East and West Targets. This drilling uses truck mounted motorized Augers (see figure 2) on a regular grid with holes spaced 50m and 100m apart along lines spaced at 200m intervals along strike.
Holes are drilled to intersect the full – oxidized and weathered regolith profile from surface to hard bedrock (refusal) and range from 10-30m in thickness

Goldhaven has submitted a total of 350 samples from the east target of its Copecal project to ALS Global Laboratories for analysis. Assay results are expected by the end of July or early August.

Following the Auger drilling, the Company will be undertaking surface geological and structural mapping as well as a VLF* Drone survey across the property to add further important structural and geological data, which when combined with the 3D Litho-geochemical model will greatly support the all-important diamond drill targeting phases anticipated to begin in Q3 2025.
*VLF - Very Low Frequency is a method to measure conductivity and resistivity in rocks. Mineralized zones usually show silica enrichment (high resistivity) or sulfidation (conductivity). The method can detect anomalies of massive and disseminated zones of metallic minerals.
The Auger drilling for both the East and West targets will allow for the preparation of a full 3D geometrical representation of the gold distribution in the regolith profiles from surface to bedrock as represented in figure 2.

All historical data completed over the Copeçal Project by AngloGold Ashanti, including soil and hand-auger geochemical sampling, drone Magnetic and trial Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical data has been compiled into a 3D project model which is being used by the GoldHaven Geological Team to plan the upcoming exploration phases.
Brazilian Management
Jonathan Victor Hill
Mr. Hill is GoldHaven’s Brazilian Country Manager and Founder & Principal Advisor of Exploration Outcomes Ltda. with +40 years’ experience, leading exploration, project development and mining operations globally. Mr. Hill holds a BSc (Hons) Economic Geology from University of Cape Town, South Africa and a BAppSc. Applied Geology from the Queensland University of Technology, Australia and is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. He has been actively involved and/or directed several world-class gold and copper discoveries – greenfield and brownfield projects. Seasoned in governance, exploration strategy and management, he serves as a director on the boards of Royal Road Minerals (TSXV: RYR), Lavras Gold (TSXV: LGC), Avanti Gold (CSE: AGC), and was involved in Jaguar Mining (TSX: JAG), Sanatana Resources (TSXV: STA) and Australian Mines (ASX: AUZ).
Additionally, he held senior management roles at AngloGold Ashanti (“Anglo”) and spear-headed multi-million-dollar greenfield exploration projects in Brazil and Colombia including oversight of the exploration programs for Anglo on the Copeçal Gold Project now owned by GoldHaven.
During Mr. Hill’s tenure with Anglo between 2010 and 2016, Anglo conducted extensive exploration work across the Copeçal Gold Project and its surrounding tenements, investing in geochemical surveys, geophysics, and drilling. This work led to the identification of multiple gold-bearing anomalies, setting the stage for further exploration.
Gustavo Rosa de Almeida (M.Sc.)
Mr. Almeida is the local project geologist responsible for coordinating the mobilization efforts in Brazil for the upcoming exploration program at the Copeçal Gold Project in Mato Grosso. He is a high caliber Brazilian Exploration Geologist with 10 years of experience covering a wide range of commodities and geological terranes throughout Brazil. He has a broad set of skills and experience including all phases of exploration from target generation to drill evaluation and specializes in the integration and interpretation of structural, geophysical and geochemical datasets through the complete exploration cycle. Importantly in this new role at Copeçal he has considerable highly relevant regional and local experience having recently explored over several years of Au-Cu porphyry/Orogenic systems in the Juruena-Teles Pires Polymetallic Province with successful company´s such as Bemisa and Aura Gold.
