Are These Gold Stocks On Your List This Week?
The past few weeks have been quite positive for gold, and the precious metal started the week on a positive note as well. Gold prices rose as high as $1594.60 during the early Tuesday session.
The rise in gold believed to be a direct consequence of the continued fears in the investment community with regards to the coronavirus scare. Since gold prices are rising, it could be a good time to consider watching gold stocks. Here is a look at 5 of those.
Top Gold Stocks To Watch #1 IMC International Mining
First on this list of gold stocks, IMC International Mining (IMCX – Free Report) (IMIMF) has surged this year. After starting 2020 off at $0.25CAD, shares have climbed as high as $0.50. Last week saw the gold stock trading around $0.44CAD.
Besides rising gold prices, IMC International has benefited from several key milestones. First, the company began trading in the US under the symbol IMIMF. This was at the end of January. Then, last week, IMC International reported that it has entered into a letter of intent to acquire Thane Minerals. The significance of this deal is that it could put IMC in a prominent area of British Colombia.
Thane holds 100% interest in the Cathedral Property in an area called the “Quesnel Terrane”. This is rich in mineralization and ideal for gold discovery. In fact, just North West of this region is an area called “The Golden Triangle,” which hosts some of the richest gold ore bodies in the world.
Furthermore, the Quesnel Terrane hosts past and planned production of 50 billion pounds of copper, 28 million ounces of gold, and has 16 producing and development projects. Thanks to this, in addition to the company’s current assets, the market has taken notice of IMC International. Will this trend continue as gold closes in on new February highs?

The next gold stock to consider in this situation is that of Yamana Gold (AUY – Free Report). The company announced its earnings for the fourth quarter this past Friday. Yamana managed to meet analysts’ expectations but year on year growth remained flat.

Top Gold Stocks To Watch #4 Agnico Eagle Mines
Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM – Free Report) could also be in focus this week. The company beat expectations in the fourth quarter. But the stock slipped after Agnico decided to dial down its production projections for 2020. The company revealed that the operations at its Nunavut location in Canada has been slow in ramping up.
Despite beating on its Q4 earnings, Agnico missed on revenue. The company recorded $753.1 million in revenue from mining operations.
