Anteros Metals Plans Trenching at Havens Steady Copper-Gold-Silver Target
Anteros Metals announces a trenching program at its Havens Steady VMS property in Newfoundland to test a high-priority copper-gold-silver target identified in 2025.
Anteros Metals Inc. has announced plans to begin a trenching and channel sampling program at its 100%-owned Havens Steady polymetallic VMS project in central Newfoundland.
The program will focus on a high-priority copper-gold-silver target identified during the company's 2025 field program. Prospecting in that area uncovered angular float with grab sample grades up to 2.17% copper, 21.3 g/t silver, and 0.22 g/t gold from a previously untested zone. The trenching aims to expose bedrock and collect channel samples to better define the mineralization.
For precious metals traders, this exploration news highlights ongoing grassroots supply development in the gold and silver space. While early-stage, successful discoveries can eventually add to mineable reserves, influencing long-term supply dynamics. In the broader macro context, gold prices have been supported since 2022 by sustained central bank buying, as institutions diversify reserves away from the US dollar. Real US 10-year yields, which move inversely to gold, have remained elevated but failed to cap gold's rally, partly due to strong physical demand from China and India. The COMEX-LBMA spread has occasionally widened, signaling delivery stress in London, while ETF flows into GLD and IAU have been mixed, with retail investors cautious but institutional accumulation steady. Jewelry demand has softened at high prices, but investment demand from sovereign wealth funds and high-net-worth individuals has filled the gap. The DXY inverse correlation has weakened at times, as gold decouples from the dollar amid geopolitical uncertainty.

Investors will watch for assay results from the trenching program in the coming months. Positive results could boost Anteros Metals' stock and signal additional exploration potential in the region. The company plans to release updates as sampling data becomes available.
