Mining Review 8th June 2025
A terrible end to the week saw three of our best tier 1 watchlist stocks crash in price, with only one, Ora Banda Mining actually announcing any bad news.
Orla Mining and G Mining Ventures reversed badly on no news, although the gold price fell around 1%, so that would account for some of the fall, but not all.

City Investors Circle Mining Review 8th June 2025
A terrible end to the week saw three of our best tier 1 watchlist stocks crash in price on Friday, with only one, Ora Banda Mining actually announcing any bad news.
Orla Mining and G Mining Ventures reversed badly on no news, although the gold price fell around 1%, so that would account for some of the fall, but not all.
——-
These three companies represent my largest personal holdings, so this was probably the biggest financial hit my personal portfolio has ever taken in a single day, and very painful.
I am a long term investor though, and I have learned to ride out some temporary market noise as long as the company fundamentals look similar to when I made my original investment decision.
I see no reason to sell any of the companies listed above, because I believe in their management’s ability, and the projects quality to create shareholder value over the longer term.
If Orla Mining falls much more I may take the opportunity to top up as I am underweight Orla, a mistake I would like to rectify if the opportunity presents itself.

Silver is the metal to watch at the moment, it’s really on a march, up 9.8% in the week, whilst gold trod water.
The gold silver ratio is down at 92, against the recent high of 103.2.
The PGM group are also rising, with Platinum and palladium 7% and 6% respectively.
