Gold Explorers Gain Ground as Brazil's Mining Boom Picks Up SpeedIssued on behalf of GoldHaven Resources Corp. VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- USANewsGroup.com News Commentary — Brazil's gold sector just posted a breakout quarter. The country's gold export revenue hit US$2.33 billion in Q1 2026, up 89.3% year over year[1], while IBRAM's latest investment outlook now projects US$76.9 billion flowing into Brazilian mining through 2030. That momentum lines up with a broader shift: the World Gold Council's Q1 report showed global gold demand climbing to a record US$193 billion, with central banks adding 244 tonnes to reserves[2] and retail bar and coin buying surging 42%.

The World Gold Council also forecasts central bank purchases of 700 to 900 tonnes for 2026, but notes that finding, permitting, and building new large-scale mines remains a persistent constraint on production growth[3]. That tightening supply picture gives outsized relevance to producing jurisdictions with active discovery pipelines. Brazil fits that profile precisely, with the federal government now building a regulatory framework for critical minerals and channelling sovereign capital into domestic mineral processing[4], putting a policy floor beneath exploration-stage valuations at exactly the moment geological validation is accelerating across the country's most productive gold belts. GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) has received the results of an independent geological review of its 100%-owned Copeçal Gold Project in Mato Grosso, Brazil, and the findings point to something bigger than the company's initial drilling suggested. An outside specialist consultant examined drill core and data from GoldHaven's inaugural diamond drilling program and confirmed the presence of a large-scale, structurally controlled hydrothermal gold system with clear vectors toward higher-grade mineralization at both of the project's two main target areas. At the West Target, the review identified higher-grade gold enrichment tied to fold hing...
