Gold Hits Another Record High on Fed Pause, Igniting a Miner Breakout

Issued on behalf of GoldHaven Resources Corp.

VANCOUVER – Baystreet.ca News Commentary – Gold has soared past $4,150 per ounce for the first time in history^[1], driven by unprecedented central bank accumulation that propelled the precious metal past $4,000 in October 2025 and delivered 52% year-to-date returns, making this gold's strongest calendar year performance since 1979^[2]. The historic rally reflects a fundamental shift as global central banks surpassed their US Treasury holdings with gold for the first time in nearly three decades, accumulating over 1,000 tonnes annually while production costs remain stable, creating explosive margin expansion for producers positioned to capitalize on these unprecedented price levels^[3]. This macro transformation benefits companies like GoldHaven Resources Corp. (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF), Orla Mining Ltd. (NYSE-American: ORLA) (TSX: ORLA), Loncor Gold Inc. (TSX: LN) (OTCQX: LONCF), Red Pine Exploration Inc. (TSXV: RPX) (OTCQB: RDEXF), and Thor Explorations Ltd. (TSXV: THX) (OTCPK: THXPF).

Major financial institutions project gold reaching $4,900 to $5,000 by end of 2026, with some analysts forecasting peaks near $5,000 as persistent central bank demand averaging 900 tonnes annually creates structural support while geopolitical tensions and inflation concerns drive continued safe-haven flows^[4]. The combination of surging prices and controlled production costs translates directly into expanding cash flows for mining companies, positioning early investors to capture gains as the sector enters what analysts characterize as a historic secular bull market with multiple structural tailwinds converging simultaneously.

GoldHaven Resources Corp. (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF), a Canadian junior explorer, has achieved a pivotal moment by launching its inaugural diamond drilling campaign at Brazil's Copeçal Gold Project. The operation targets a historically significant area within the Juruena Gold Province, a belt that has delivered major gold finds since the late 1970s. Notably, GoldHaven is drilling targets first identified by AngloGold Ashanti, a gold mining giant whose earlier work laid crucial groundwork for this next phase of exploration.

Spanning 3,681 hectares in Mato Grosso, Brazil, the Copeçal property lies roughly 60 kilometers from Alta Floresta. Between 2010 and 2016, AngloGold Ashanti channeled approximately $1 million into methodical exploration here, uncovering a striking 6-kilometer gold-in-soil anomaly before redirecting resources to other priorities worldwide. GoldHaven's mission: determine whether this surface geochemical signature extends downward and could signal an economically viable gold system.

Initial drilling has already penetrated roughly 30 meters of saprolite (intensely weathered rock) before reaching basement gneiss displaying intense shearing and hydrothermal alteration. The core reveals widespread chlorite, sericite, and quartz alteration patterns, which are textbook signatures of hydrothermal systems linked to gold mineralization in comparable geological environments.

"The start of our maiden drill program marks a transformational milestone for GoldHaven Resources," said Rob Birmingham, President and CEO of GoldHaven. "This moment is the result of systematic exploration, including a 107-hole auger program and ongoing VLF surveys that refined our targets and mapped structural controls. Early geological observations from COP-25-001 show strong deformation and alteration where saprolite meets basement rock, exactly what we hoped to see. While we await assay results, these features validate our targeting model and align with mineralized systems across the Juruena Gold Province."

The drilling initiative encompasses 1,200 meters using Ecodrill equipment with NQ-size diamond core (47.6mm diameter), designed to complete 5-6 angled holes reaching up to 150 meters depth. The campaign focuses on two target areas designated East and West, each characterized by continuous gold-in-soil anomalies spanning 3-kilometer strike lengths. Core processing occurs at ALS Global facilities, with sample preparation conducted in Cuiabá and final assays performed in Belo Horizonte. Results are anticipated within 4-6 weeks.

"Copeçal has all the hallmarks of a compelling greenfields opportunity," said Jon Hill, former Exploration Manager for AngloGold Ashanti during the project's initial discovery phase, and current Country Manager in Brazil for GoldHaven, in a previous announcement. "As part of the original team that identified the area, I've always believed this project warranted drill testing. It sits in an underexplored but highly fertile mineral belt, and thanks to AngloGold's foundational work, we have robust geochemical and geophysical datasets to guide us."

Building toward this drilling milestone, GoldHaven executed 107 auger drill penetrations alongside VLF-EM geophysical surveys to optimize drill site selection. Infrastructure advantages include year-round accessibility via highway MT-325 and proximity to Alta Floresta, a regional center with daily commercial flights just 60 kilometers away. The project occupies ground within an emerging district that includes G Mining's Tocantinzinho deposit, which hosts multiple million ounces of gold.

Concurrently with Copeçal operations, GoldHaven has completed robust summer exploration campaigns at its fully-owned Magno and Three Guardsmen properties in northern British Columbia. Strategic claim acquisitions have expanded the Magno Project by 5,159 hectares.

GoldHaven's asset base encompasses 123,900 hectares across three Brazilian projects, underpinned by a detailed 43-101 Technical Report for Copeçal.
