City Investors Circle Mining Review 26th April 2026
.
There was plenty of positive news releases made by companies on out watchlists this week, dominated by Australia, with Barton Gold, Kaiser Reef, and Ora Banda all reporting good drilling results.
Heliostar Metals also reported high-grade drill results at their Ana Paula Mexican gold project.
Meeka Metals announced a gold acquisition at Mt Holland, and Lahontan Gold reported positive cyanide recoveries for gold and silver.
All in all a good week for news, although market and gold price volatility meant this positivity wasn’t relected in the share prices of the companies concerned.
Patience isn’t just a virtue, it’s a necessity in this mining investment game.
