VANCOUVER, BC, May 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Equity Insider News Commentary – Gold's relentless climb—briefly topping $3,350 last week—has rekindled investor appetite across the mining sector, particularly among small-cap names long starved of attention. Safe-haven demand, rate cut expectations, and fresh volatility tied to US President Donald Trump's tariff warnings have sent bullion prices soaring, prompting Citi to raise its short-term gold target to $3,500. Bank of America followed by increasing its gold exposure in Q4, citing a bullish shift in underlying market conditions. As gold prices remain favourable, analysts are watching for breakout moments across the junior mining space, with RUA GOLD Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF), Luca Mining Corp. (TSXV: LUCA) (OTCQX: LUCMF), Probe Gold Inc. (TSX: PRB) (OTCQB: PROBF), Dakota Gold Corp. (NYSE-American: DC), and Montage Gold Corp. (TSX: MAU) (OTCQX: MAUTF).
