Record Profits and M&A Frenzy Set Gold Sector on Fire
As M&A activity heats up across the mining sector, one question looms large: can Newmont catch up to Agnico Eagle’s breakout performance? Joe Mazumdar, Editor of Exploration Insights, joins Kitco Mining’s Paul Harris to break down the deals, divestments, and regulatory shifts reshaping the gold industry.
Mazumdar analyzes Agnico Eagle’s outperformance versus Newmont, the strategic implications of Barrick’s latest gold asset sales, and what Trump’s proposed 28-day mining permit approvals could mean for U.S. producers. He also examines the takeovers of Lumina Gold and Orogen Royalties—and what this wave of consolidation signals for mining investors in 2025 and beyond.
Key points:
- Why Agnico Eagle is outperforming Newmont
- Will Trump’s 28-day permitting plan work?
- Why Barrick sold its stake in the massive Donlin gold project
- Orogen Royalties’ big payday and Silicon project insights
- The Lumina Gold buyout and challenges for developers
