Gold has been a star asset this year.

Since the beginning of 2025, it has soared by over 40%. It outperformed the S&P 500 by almost 32 percentage points.

While the broad markets were struggling with macro uncertainty, gold has been setting one price record after another. It almost touched $3,500 per ounce in April.

Wall Street banks have started upgrading their gold price targets in response to the chaos in the markets.

JPMorgan analysts have said in a recent note that gold could reach $6,000 per ounce by 2029 if foreign investors reallocate just 0.5% of their assets to gold.

You usually read projections like this one on gold forums or in niche newsletters… but right now, the largest bank in the world is saying that the gold bull market is unstoppable.

Here at the Canadian Mining Report, we have been talking about this massive bull market for a while.

And we have brought some of the most potentially promising companies to our readers’ attention.

Some of these companies have seen their share price rise by as much as 170% since the beginning of the year. We’re talking about a specific stock here…

This company has outperformed gold by more than four times this year. (We will give you more details about this company in a moment…)

But first, let’s revisit the catalysts driving the price of gold and gold-related stocks.

Gold Stocks Have Delivered Outsized Gains

While gold has soared by about 40% year-to-date, gold-linked companies have delivered a 53% return on average.

These companies are “leveraged” to the price of gold. They tend to rise more than the metal itself during a bull market.

And right now, both independent analysts and the massive Wall Street banks agree that the bull market in gold will likely continue for years.

The first reason for that is the ongoing economic uncertainty. While the global economy is trying to grapple with the impact of the ongoing trade war, stocks and bonds are volatile. The U.S. dollar—the ultimate “safe haven” in many investors’ eyes—has been losing value as well. Its value against a basket of major currencies is down 8% so far this year.

The U.S. dollar is not as safe as it was, in other words…

What should investors do?

To protect their portfolios, they should add some gold exposure. It could potentially add stability to their holdings.

In the meantime, they should pay attention to some of the best companies in the gold sector. They could deliver outsized returns not correlated with the rest of the market… Such as the 170% gain that we mentioned earlier.

It’s time to reveal the name of the company that has performed so well this year.

(We need to make the necessary disclaimer here that past performance doesn’t guarantee future results.)

Rackla Metals (TSXV:RAK) Has Been a Star Performer This Year

Rackla is a Canada-based gold explorer. Its properties are in Canada’s Yukon and Northwest Territories.

The company’s projects are within the 1,000-kilometre Tombstone Gold Belt. The belt hosts several multi-million-ounce deposits. Notably, some of them have similar geology to that of Rackla’s properties.

One of Rackla’s most promising projects, in our opinion, is Grad.

This year, Rackla plans an extensive drill campaign at Grad. The company announced its detailed exploration plans in February.

It plans to follow up on its last year’s exploration campaign. The campaign identified the potentially promising BiTe target. Sampling at this target returned results of up to 92 grams per tonne of gold.

The company has also found a 550-meter anomaly with a core 180-meter zone that averaged 3.68 grams per tonne gold.

Rackla has also found early-stage evidence that the BiTe target could be larger than it initially thought. The company’s geologists think that the same mineralized system extends at least 1.3 kilometers north of BiTe.

And Rackla has managed to outline these promising targets in just ten days.

Now, the company is ready to start a drill campaign at BiTe.

It has raised almost C$3 million in April, so it’s well-financed to do a significant amount of exploration work this year.

Importantly, it has just received a land use permit to start drilling at Grad.

In other words, this year’s exploration plan is fully financed and permitted.

Investors should take notice…

If you haven’t put Rackla Minerals (TSXV:RAK) on your watchlist, now is the time.

Here’s why…

Stellar Performance So Far—and More Catalysts Coming

Rackla has returned about 170% so far this year. Take a look at the chart below…

Rackla has leveraged gold’s price performance and delivered a return that’s almost four times higher than that of the metal itself.

However, it still trades below C$1 per share. And we URGE you to take advantage of this opportunity…

Rackla has some of the most experienced mining professionals on its team, including Simon Ridgway, its CEO.

Mr. Ridgway’s experience spans about five decades—and he started his career in the industry prospecting in the Yukon. He intimately knows the area where Rackla’s properties are located.

His team created a lot of value for Rackla’s shareholders by doing early-stage exploration work at BiTe. Investors should understand how much potential the upcoming drill campaign has, given that the company’s shares soared just based on preliminary work…

Rackla’s share price is linked to the price of gold, which has continued delivering one record after another. And now analysts and asset managers agree that the current gold bull market could run for years...

Investors should position themselves to benefit from it.

The macro picture remains uncertain and risky, and the usual ways of protecting your portfolio may not work in the future. In our opinion, gold and gold-linked companies such as Rackla Minerals (TSXV:RAK) will provide better diversification options and upside potential than mainstream stocks and bonds.

Takeaway

Gold and resource juniors have plenty of support at the macro level.

However, not all of them will deliver outsized returns. Investors should focus on the companies with the strongest management teams that are able to make value-adding discoveries.

Rackla’s performance both on the ground and in the markets tells us that it’s one of the most attractive names in the space.
