Westward Gold (CSE: WG) gained by 5.41%<\/span><\/strong> today to $0.195 per share<\/strong>, its highest<\/span> closing price<\/strong> of the last 5 years.<\/p>\n\n

\"Westward<\/p>\n\n

WG<\/strong> last drilled at the SSD Zone<\/strong> in early 2023 and discovered high-grade<\/strong><\/span> gold<\/strong><\/span> at the same<\/span> depth<\/strong> as the directly adjacent<\/span> Fourmile deposit<\/strong>. WG hit a high<\/span><\/strong> in April 2023 of $0.20 per share<\/strong> during a severe bear market<\/strong><\/span> for gold stocks<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n

When WG<\/strong> hit $0.20 per share<\/strong> on April 18, 2023, VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX)<\/strong> was $34.55 per share<\/strong>, and VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ)<\/strong> was $41.45 per share<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Today, GDX<\/strong> is $90.96 per share<\/strong>, or 163.27% above<\/strong><\/span> its April 18, 2023, share price.<\/p>\n\n

Today, GDXJ<\/strong> is $119.49 per share<\/strong>, or 188.28% above<\/strong><\/span> its April 18, 2023, share price.<\/p>\n\n

GDX<\/strong> and GDXJ<\/strong> are up an average of 175.78%<\/strong><\/span>, and many junior gold explorers<\/span><\/strong> have increased 5-10x<\/strong><\/span> in value during the same time period.<\/p>\n\n

A gain of 175.78%<\/strong><\/span> from $0.20 per share<\/strong> would equal $0.55 per share<\/strong>. The thing is: nobody<\/strong><\/span> had a clue in April 2023 how huge<\/span> Fourmile<\/strong> (located directly adjacent<\/strong><\/span> to WG’s district-scale<\/span> land package<\/strong>) was about to become, with the same geophysical signatures<\/strong><\/span> as WG’s SSD Zone<\/strong>. Later this year, Fourmile<\/strong> will serve as North American Barrick’s cornerstone<\/span> asset<\/span><\/strong> when it goes public<\/strong><\/span> in the largest<\/span> gold<\/span> IPO<\/strong> in history.<\/p>\n\n

The only other gold stock<\/strong><\/span> we could find that appears to have similar<\/span> upside potential<\/span><\/strong> from its current share price is Xali Gold (CSE: XGC)<\/strong>, which recently acquired<\/span> Pico Machay<\/strong> from Pan American Silver (PAAS)<\/strong> and remains undiscovered<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n
