Just read this article about West Point Gold Corp. expanding their strike zone at Gold Chain to 400m (https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2026/04/28/gold-explorer-expands-strike-zone-at-gold-chain-to-400m.html). This is pretty exciting, especially with the mention that the stock saw a dramatic appreciation last year. I've been eyeing some junior gold explorers for a while now, trying to diversify a bit from my more established dividend stocks, and WPG had been on my watchlist. My retirement portfolio, especially, could use some exposure to commodities, and gold has always been a solid long-term bet in my book. The Arizona location is also intriguing – seems like a good jurisdiction for mining, generally.

My main concern with these early-stage explorers is always the execution risk, but extending the strike zone is a clear positive indication of their progress. I’m thinking about whether to add a small position here. I've had good experiences with exploration companies that show consistent positive drilling results, even if they're highly speculative. Of course, any investment in gold, whether direct or through miners, always makes me think about the tax implications in my IRA. I actually used the Gold IRA Blueprint tool a while back to understand how different gold investments are taxed, which really helped me plan out how I allocate assets within my retirement accounts for my wife and me.
