On May 28, 2026, GoldQuest Mining Corp. (GQC:TSX.V) released new assay results from its exploration campaign at the Cachimbo target in the Dominic Republic. GoldQuest noted that Drill hole TIR-26-62, a follow up to discovery hole TIR-26-58, intersected 12.15 meters of high-grade polymetallic volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralization, which confirms continuity of the newly identified high-grade mineralized level that contains high-grade gold, silver, copper, zinc, and lead.
The results are as follows:
- 15 meters (m) at 8.60 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au), 128.2 g/t silver (Ag), 0.77 per cent copper (Cu), 11.21 per cent zinc (Zn) and 0.34 per cent lead (Pb) from 277.35 m depth
The company believes that the presence of these metals verifies a new mineralized parallel structure found at TIR-26-58 earlier in 2026 and confirms the high-tenor polymetallic character of the system.
GoldQuest CEO, Luis Santana, said in the release, "TIR-26-62 represents an important follow-up result for the Cachimbo exploration program. The drilling provides additional geological information regarding polymetallic VMS mineralization identified at Cachimbo and contributes to our ongoing understanding of the mineralized system. The results will support continued geological interpretation and future drill targeting activities as the exploration program advances."
Based in Canada, GoldQuest is an exploration and development company that pairs with Dominican investors and is focused on advancing gold and copper assets in the Dominican Republic.
Metals Markets Withstanding Wartime Tensions
Gold remains a safe haven asset but is still vulnerable to fears of inflation and geopolitical uncertainties, as has been evidenced by the ongoing war between the U.S. and Iran. A May 29 article by Investing.com discussed how these tensions are affecting the metals markets, saying, "In the current environment, investors are increasingly worried that higher oil and energy costs linked to the Middle East crisis could fuel broader inflation pressures, forcing the Federal Reserve to maintain restrictive monetary policy." Often immune to stock fluctuations due to its critical usage needs, renewed suspicion of U.S. tariffs on China's copper exports has also caused the rates to drop.
However, the market opened strong on June 4, 2026, up 1.63% at US$4,505.90, due to a new ceasefire announcement between Iran and Lebanon.
Gold surged to a record high earlier in the year, hitting a high of US$5,000 per ounce in January, and many expect the rally to resume once international conflict cools down. In April, S&P Global wrote, "Gold is expected to remain volatile but structurally supported, with central bank demand and geopolitical risk helping to establish a price floor above recent correction lows."
Despite the volatility of gold, the sector as a whole is only showing signs of improvement. On May 7, 2026, Brian Taylor of Recycling Today said that the World Bank Group has predicted that overall global metals prices will rise by 17% in 2026, which would mark the first overall market increase since 2022.

Expert Calls Results 'Spectacular'
On May 29, 2026, Chen Lin of What is Chen Buying? What is Chen Selling? commented on GoldQuest's recent news, saying: "GQC.v released spectacular drilling results. If it was somewhere else, the stock should have doubled, but it is in DR, and they have social license issues. I was buying at CA$0.40+ recently, and I actually flipped some here for quick profits and reduced the cost basis of my recent purchases by 50%. I plan to hold the rest for the long run."
More Results on the Way
According to the press release, assays from a stringer zone below the high-grade VMS level are pending and will be reported in the near future. "In addition to the drilling, the company continues to integrate recent geological interpretation and geophysical data to refine drill targeting at Cachimbo. The confirmation of a high-grade VMS level in a second drill hole is expected to help prioritize follow-up drilling along trend and across the broader anomalous corridor," said the company.
