Gold and Silver’s Record Run: What It Means for Investors in 2025 - Share Talk18 Oct 2025 10:13
Gold has surged past $4,378.00 per ounce for the first time in history. Silver has followed suit, recently rising above $54 per ounce to levels not seen in decades. For long-time believers in precious metals, this is a vindication. For newer investors, it raises questions. Why are prices rising? Will they continue? And how can investors get exposure without taking unnecessary risks?
In this article, we look at gold and silver not just as shiny commodities, but as serious investment vehicles.

Greatland Resources (AIM/ASX: GGP)
Greatland Resources has evolved from a junior AIM explorer into a dual-listed, institutional-grade gold and copper producer. Its 2024 acquisition of the Havieron deposit and Telfer mine from Newmont gave it full control of two cornerstone assets in Western Australia. With its ASX listing now complete, Greatland has repositioned itself as a vertically integrated miner with growing institutional support.
In its September 2025 quarter update, Greatland reported production of 80,890 ounces of gold and 3,366 tonnes of copper from the Telfer operation. Sales for the quarter totalled 82,199 ounces of gold and 3,277 tonnes of copper, with the All‑In Sustaining Cost expected at the lower end of its FY26 guidance range of US $2,400 to US $2,800 per ounce. The company ended the quarter with US $750 million in cash and no debt, up from US $575 million in June, a US $175 million cash build even after capital expenditure. A US $46 million stamp‑duty payment related to the Telfer‑Havieron acquisition is due in October 2025.

Its low-cost structure, debt-free balance sheet, and dual exposure to gold and copper give it resilience across cycles. For investors seeking leveraged but lower-risk exposure to the gold market, Greatland offers a compelling mix of operational scale, growth potential, and financial strength, attributes that have already begun to separate it from its junior peers....
