Platinum Jumps to Highest Since 2014 on Mounting Supply Concerns

(Bloomberg) — Platinum surged to its highest level since 2014 as supply concerns and a wave of speculative buying jolted the market.

The precious metal surged as much as 4.6%, while palladium was up more than 5% at one point. Gold edged higher as investors waited for clearer signs that Israel-Iran tensions won’t spill over again, and for more certainty on the Federal Reserve’s interest rate path.

“The recent surge in Chinese investment and jewelry replacement is shining a spotlight on platinum’s supply deficit,” said Justin Lin, an analyst at Global X ETFs. “Palladium and platinum are intrinsically linked as they can be substituted for one another for use in autocatalysts depending on relative prices, so we can expect some positive momentum in palladium off of platinum’s rally.”

The dominant platinum spot market in London and Zurich has shown signs of tightness for months, after approximately half a million ounces surged into US warehouses, spurred by a lucrative arbitrage and fear of tariffs.

Forward prices for platinum are now trading well below spot, a situation known as backwardation, which indicates tight market conditions. The implied cost of borrowing the metal is also still high, at an annualized rate of roughly 13% for a one-month lease, well above the usual rate of close to zero.

Platinum surged 3.4% to $1,400.75 an ounce as of 11:25 a.m. in London and palladium jumped 2.4% to $1,093.46. Gold rose 0.2% to $3,339.20 and silver added 1%. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index declined 0.5%.

Riverside Resources’ Blue Jay Gold Corp. Completes Non-Brokered Private Placement Financing

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – May 7, 2025) –  Riverside Resources Inc. (TSXV: RRI) (OTCQB: RVSDF) (FSE: 5YY) (“Riverside” or the “Company“)is pleased to announce that, it’s subsidiary, Blue Jay Gold Corp. (“Blue Jay“) issued 2,305,000 common shares (the “Blue Jay Shares“) at an issue price of $0.40 per share for total gross proceeds of $922,000 as part of a previously announced non-brokered private placement of the Blue Jay Shares. Riverside now holds 74.80% of the issued and outstanding Blue Jay Shares.

“We’re very pleased with the strong investor interest that led to the upsizing and successful close of the Blue Jay Gold seed round,” stated John-Mark Staude, CEO of Riverside Resources. “This outcome reinforces the value we’ve built in the Ontario portfolio and reflects confidence in Blue Jay’s leadership and exploration potential. As Riverside shareholders, we continue to benefit through our retained equity and royalty exposure, while Blue Jay moves forward as a focused, well-capitalized company.”

“The successful closing of our seed round provides Blue Jay Gold with a solid foundation to advance exploration across our Ontario portfolio,” said Geordie Mark, CEO of Blue Jay Gold. “We’re grateful for the strong support from our shareholders and look forward to executing a disciplined, data-driven exploration program to unlock the potential of our assets.”

Certain directors and officers of Riverside and Blue Jay participated in the private placement, subscribing for 268,750 Blue Jay Shares in the aggregate; each such director or officer is a “related party” and each such subscription is a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“). The Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements under section 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, respectively, in respect of such insider participation, in each case, as the fair market value of the private placement, insofar as it involves related parties does not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

The balance of the Blue Jay Shares held by Riverside will be distributed to Riverside’s shareholders in connection with Riverside’s previously announced plan of arrangement under section 288 of the Business Corporation Act (British Columbia) (the “Arrangement“), which will be effected pursuant to the arrangement agreement dated January 27, 2025 between Blue Jay and Riverside (the “Arrangement Agreement“). The Arrangement received Riverside shareholder approval on March 31, 2025 and the final approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia on April 3, 2025.

The Arrangement Agreement and additional details about the Arrangement are included in the Company’s management information circular dated February 18, 2025 which are each available on Riverside’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company’s website at www.rivres.com.
