VANCOUVER — Baystreet.ca — Gold isn't just having a moment; it is undergoing a massive structural shift. Global gold ETFs kicked off 2026 with a record-breaking US$18.7 billion surge in January alone, signaling a demand shift that analysts now view as a permanent floor rather than a passing cycle[1]. This wave of capital is rapidly compressing the timeline for consolidation. Major dealmakers at BMO Capital Markets now see record prices and fortified balance sheets sparking intense acquisition interest as producers scramble to secure quality assets before they are absorbed by the competition[2]. Into this landscape, GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF), Summit Royalties (TSXV: SUM) (OTCQB: SUMMF), Star Royalties (TSXV: STRR) (OTCQX: STRFF), Thesis Gold & Silver (TSXV: TAU) (OTCQX: THSGF), and Metalla Royalty & Streaming (NYSE-A: MTA) (TSXV: MTA) represent the two most compelling expressions of this reallocation: scaled royalty architecture built for institutional durability, and data-driven exploration anchored in jurisdictions with proven geological continuity.
This market realignment creates a specific window for explorers with a proven technical foundation. The February 2026 mining outlook from Torys LLP identifies strategic partnerships and jurisdictional credibility as the defining value drivers of the current cycle. Smart capital is no longer just chasing anomalies; it is concentrating on platforms that can demonstrate geological continuity and a clear, professional path from discovery to institutional recognition[3].
GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) released an exploration update on its Copeçal Gold Project in Mato Grosso, Brazil, following the completion of its inaugural diamond drilling program. The company has now confirmed gold and copper anomalism in the ground and is gearing up for a second round of drilling at its most promising target zone.
The nine-hole first program tested two areas: the West Target and the East Target. West came out ahead. Drill holes there hit a saprolite profile running to roughly 60 metres downhole, with multiple phases of shearing, quartz veining, and alteration patterns that geologists associate with active hydrothermal systems. In plain terms, those are the kinds of rock signatures you find near gold deposits, not just scattered anomalies. The East Target showed coincident gold and copper anomalism as well, though the company believes those early holes caught the fringes of the system rather than its core.
"Completing the first diamond drilling program at Copeçal marks an important milestone as we transition the project from surface exploration into systematic drill testing," said Rob Birmingham, President and CEO of GoldHaven. "The West Target in particular has emerged as a priority area where Phase 2 drilling will focus on expanding the system and vectoring toward higher-grade zones."
Phase 2 is planned for mid-Q2 2026. Before drilling resumes, the team is running a full technical review, pulling in historical datasets from AngloGold Ashanti, which explored the property from 2010 to 2016. That prior work identified multiple zones of anomalous gold mineralization, giving GoldHaven a foundation to build targeting from rather than starting cold.
The Copeçal project sits within the Alta Floresta Gold Province, a belt in Brazil that has produced meaningful gold discoveries since the late 1970s and hosts deposit styles ranging from mesothermal shear-related to porphyry and epithermal systems. The region has real precedent for size.
This update comes alongside GoldHaven's broader activity. At its district-scale Magno Project in British Columbia's Cassiar region, the company recently filed an NI 43-101 technical report covering a polymetallic system with silver, lead, zinc, tungsten, and indium mineralization across 37,204 hectares. A $2.0 million flow-through financing is underway to fund 2026 exploration there.
GoldHaven is a Canadian junior explorer running two active project pipelines across North and South America, with drill programs advancing on separate continents and a critical minerals portfolio in Brazil totalling 123,900 hectares.

Summit Royalties (TSXV: SUM) (OTCQB: SUMMF) and Star Royalties (TSXV: STRR) (OTCQX: STRFF) announced a transformative merger today that would create a scaled junior royalty platform holding 50 royalties and streams across Canada, the U.S., and Australia, with approximately 47% gold equivalent ounce CAGR expected over the next three years — the highest projected growth rate among junior royalty and streaming peers. The combined entity carries a pro forma fully-diluted market capitalization of approximately C$184 million, with four assets currently in production and two more, Copperstone and Pitangui, expected to reach production by 2027, lifting estimated 2027 revenue above US$15 million at consensus metal prices.
"We are very excited about the transformative combination of Summit and Star, which results in an expanded portfolio of cash flowing assets underpinned by a peer leading growth profile," said CEO Drew Clark of Summit Royalties. "The addition of the Copperstone gold stream to our existing portfolio is expected to drive material cash flow growth in the coming years, further enhancing our ability to sustain our high growth trajectory."
Star Royalties shareholders will receive 0.360 of a Summit Royalties common share per Star share held, implying a 25% premium to Star Royalties' closing price and a 32% premium on a 20-day VWAP basis.
"We are proud to announce this transformative business combination as we believe this merger will represent one of the most compelling investment opportunities available in the royalty sector," said CEO Alex Pernin of Star Royalties. "Our combined business will be underpinned by improved scale, industry-leading revenue growth, meaningful portfolio diversification, enhanced trading liquidity and institutional investor appeal, and an improved free cash flow profile."
The transaction is expected to close in Q2 2026, subject to shareholder and court approvals, with Star Royalties shares to subsequently be delisted from the TSXV and OTCQX.
Thesis Gold & Silver (TSXV: TAU) (OTCQX: THSGF) has closed a C$44 million strategic investment anchored by a C$38.7 million private placement to AngloGold Ashanti plc at C$2.79 per share, representing a 5.0% stake in the company, with Centerra Gold exercising its pro rata participation rights to maintain its 9.9% ownership for an additional C$5.7 million. Proceeds will fund working capital and ongoing technical studies at the 100%-owned Lawyers-Ranch Gold-Silver Project in British Columbia's Toodoggone Mining District.
The company is advancing Lawyers-Ranch through feasibility, permitting, and continued exploration, targeting long-term value from what it describes as a large, high-quality gold-equivalent mineral resource with meaningful silver exposure. The endorsement of two major gold producers (AngloGold Ashanti and Centerra Gold) as strategic investors reflects growing institutional interest in the project's potential and the broader appeal of the Toodoggone district.
