VANCOUVER – Baystreet.ca News Commentary – Gold trades around $3,965 per ounce as of November 5th, consolidating gains after October's record surge past $4,300 delivered the metal's strongest annual performance in over four decades with year-to-date returns exceeding 50%[1]. While major producers posted stellar Q3 earnings capitalizing on unprecedented pricing strength[2], developers executing construction milestones and commissioning schedules are positioning to capture the sector's transformation, including Lake Victoria Gold (TSXV: LVG) (OTCQB: LVGLF), TRX Gold Corporation (NYSE-American: TRX) (TSX: TRX), NexGold Mining Corp. (TSXV: NEXG) (OTCQX: NXGCF), G Mining Ventures Corp. (TSX: GMIN) (OTCQX: GMINF), and K92 Mining Inc. (TSX: KNT) (OTCQX: KNTNF).

Goldman Sachs analysts project gold reaching $4,900 by December 2026 with potential to exceed $5,000 under favorable monetary conditions[3]. With mining stocks remaining undervalued despite outperforming both physical gold and broader equity indices by triple digits year-to-date, developers transitioning into production are positioned to deliver outsized returns as institutional capital rotates into an overlooked sector trading at compelling valuations relative to sustained elevated commodity prices[4].

Lake Victoria Gold (TSXV: LVG) (OTCQB: LVGLF) is accelerating momentum at its fully permitted Imwelo Gold Project in Tanzania, announcing the mobilization of a second drill rig to fast-track completion of the pivotal Area C drilling campaign.

Following successful completion of the first three holes of the planned 4,000-metre program, the first two have been submitted for assay with results expected in the coming days. The addition of a second multipurpose rig will enable completion of the current program by mid December 2025.

"Momentum continues to build at Imwelo," said Marc Cernovitch, President and CEO of Lake Victoria Gold. "We've completed three holes with assays pending on the first two, and with a second rig now on site, we're moving quickly to deliver continuous results through November and December as we refine the final pit design and advance toward production readiness."

The campaign addresses critical pre-construction objectives including locking in definitive pit design with engineering inputs, upgrading classification of historical gold resources, testing for mineralization beyond mapped zones, developing operational mining schedules, and refining gold recovery optimization. Early visual observations are validating expectations.

"Drilling at Area C is progressing well, and we're very encouraged by what we're seeing in the core to date," said Hendrick Mering, Exploration Manager for Lake Victoria Gold. "The first three holes have intersected multiple zones of quartz veining and alteration consistent with our modeled mineralized horizons."

The opening hole penetrated deeper than prior drilling, testing Area C mineralization at roughly 120 metres depth on the western edge of the zone. Historical assays from this vicinity include 6.8 metres at 14.6 g/t gold at 32m and 2.0 metres at 7.5 g/t from 22m, confirming production-grade gold potential.

The drill acceleration follows LVG reaching a pivotal agreement in principle with the Government of Tanzania on the statutory minimum 16% free carried interest. With environmental approval of the Updated Environmental and Social Management Plan also secured, the regulatory pathway is cleared for construction advancement.

Situated just 12 kilometers from AngloGold Ashanti's flagship Geita mine, Imwelo operates under a 10-year renewable mining license with metallurgical recoveries surpassing 90%. Lake Victoria Gold targets first gold production within 12 months of breaking ground.

Financial momentum was secured with the closing of an oversubscribed $6 million financing in September, immediately followed by a concurrent $2 million private placement. The combined capital is fueling work programs designed to trigger the pre-paid forward purchase facility with Monetary Metals, targeting non-dilutive construction financing.

Beyond Imwelo, the Tembo Project delivers optionality via a planned 3,000m drilling program at Ngula 1, where historical intercepts of 28.57 g/t gold over 3 metres signal immediate toll milling opportunity. The company retains exposure to up to US$45 million in contingent milestone payments from the 2021 asset sale to Barrick's Bulyanhulu operation.

With gold recently surpassing $4,300 per ounce for the first time in history, Lake Victoria Gold is mobilizing equipment at a fully permitted project in one of Africa's premier gold districts precisely when high-grade ounces command maximum value.

TRX Gold Corporation (NYSE-American: TRX) (TSX: TRX) is advancing processing plant expansion at its Buckreef Gold Project in Tanzania, with throughput now envisioned to exceed 3,000 tonnes per day through dual processing circuits. The expanded facility will consist of a 3,000+ TPD circuit for sulphide material and a 1,000 TPD circuit for oxide and transition material, expected to produce average annual gold production in excess of the 62,000 ounces originally outlined in the PEA.

"The planning and execution of the expanded processing plant is well underway, and it is now envisioned to be larger than anticipated in the PEA, which should lead to higher gold production than was anticipated in the PEA," said Stephen Mullowney, TRX Gold CEO. "Since our first gold pour in 2021, the Buckreef Gold processing plant has completed three expansions, increasing its capacity from 360 TPD to 1,000 TPD and subsequently to 2,000 TPD."

The expansion will be rolled out over the next 18-24 months at a capital cost of approximately US$30 million, in line with PEA estimates and financed from internally generated cash flow. The Company continues to pay for these upgrades from operations and available liquidity lines while simultaneously improving overall working capital.

"We are extremely pleased to have received our FAAs for the Goldboro Gold Project," said Kevin Bullock, President and CEO of NexGold. "Having received our Industrial Approval from the government of Nova Scotia in August, the receipt of the FAAs announced today provides NexGold with the last key permits required to advance towards construction and operations."

The Company initially applied for the FAAs in August 2023 and received notice in December 2023 that its application was deemed complete. The authorizations outline stringent terms and conditions which allow the Company to construct and operate the Goldboro Gold Project while reaffirming commitment to ongoing engagement with the Mi'kmaq of Nova Scotia.

The Project currently employs a total workforce of 710, with over 80% being Guyanese nationals, and has achieved 596,551 hours worked with only one recordable incident to date. First gold is targeted for the second half of 2027, with early works construction activities advancing on schedule including camp facility expansion, site clearing, and tailings storage facility development.

"This achievement is the result of the tireless efforts and collaboration of our workforce, contractors, and partners."

The new Stage 3 Expansion Process Plant remains on track for completion of commissioning in the first half of Q4 and was delivered under budget, representing the largest growth capital item for the Stage 3 Expansion, of which 90% has been spent or committed as of September 30, 2025. The milestone marks an exciting chapter in K92's history as the Company advances towards Tier-1, mid-tier producer status.
