Gold Hits $4,043 Per Oz, Why Did Trump Invest into Trilogy Metals (TMQ)?
Gold just hit a new all-time high this morning of $4,043 per oz!
Heliostar Metals (TSXV: HSTR) is up by 7.25% this morning to a new all-time high of $2.07 per share for a gain of 67.61% since NIA's July 15th suggestion at $1.235 per share. NIA highlighted on July 22nd how HSTR's Ana Paula is one of the world's best gold development projects. Click here to see.

HSTR's outperformance started as soon as they began releasing Ana Paula drilling results on August 27th. Ever since HSTR's first release of Ana Paula assay results it has gained significantly more than GDX, GDXJ, etc. HSTR's announcement on Monday that they intercepted 8.82 g/t gold over 88m was incredible it was an even better intercept than Highlander Silver (TSX: HSLV)'s intercept of 15.56 g/t gold over 23.6m.
Contango ORE (CTGO) isn't currently drilling at Lucky Shot or Johnson Tract but after recently raising $50 million we are sure they will start drilling shortly. Both projects would have potential to show assay results of similar quality to Heliostar.
There are very few publicly traded producing gold miners based entirely in the U.S., but CTGO is one of them. If Trump invested into CTGO it wouldn't be a surprise especially since he invested yesterday in Trilogy Metals (TMQ) which was founded by CTGO CEO Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse.
TMQ's Arctic indicated resource grades are: 2.98 % Cu, 0.79 % Pb, 4.09 % Zn, 0.59 g/t Au, 45.2 g/t Ag or 5% CuEq.
CTGO's Johnson Tract indicated resource grades are: 5.33 g/t Au, 0.56% Cu, 5.21% Zn, 0.67 % Pb, 6 g/t Ag or 9.39 g/t AuEq.
Both projects are similar with CTGO's Johnson Tract more gold focused and overall, slightly better.
Even though we know CTGO CEO Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse, if Trump decided to invest there is no way he would give us or anybody else even the slightest hint ahead of time. With TMQ there were absolutely no signs of it happening in advance of the announcement.
We simply don't know if Trump will invest into CTGO or not. We are definitely not going to rule it out. The question is… if not CTGO what other choices are there?
Neither TMQ's Arctic or CTGO's Johnson Tract are permitted for production but we believe CTGO will receive priority fast track permitting for Johnson Tract and it will be the next new gold mine to be developed in Alaska.
Trump is the most mining friendly U.S. President in history! If CTGO receives permitting for Johnson Tract in 2026 there is no question CTGO will be the world's #1 largest gaining producing gold miner of 2026!
CTGO is already producing today at Manh Choh one of the world's highest grade open pit gold mines! TMQ's market cap is now 4x higher than CTGO when TMQ isn't yet in production!
