Japaul Gold Ventures Stock Surges 50% Year-to-Date

Japaul Gold Ventures Plc's stock experienced a significant increase, crossing a 50% year-to-date gain, opening at N3.66 per share on February 19, 2026. The stock has already extended its year-to-date gain to 58.44%, reflecting strong buying interest.

This surge follows the announcement of a new company plant in Niger State, which is expected to commence full operations in May 2026. The trading volume exceeded 400 million shares, surpassing January's total of 302 million, indicating heightened investor participation.

The company aims to significantly expand its output, targeting a monthly processing volume of 210,000 grams. This development comes amid rising interest in gold processing in Nigeria, particularly after the federal government announced operations for a high-purity refining plant in Lagos in January 2026.

Japaul Gold Ventures Plc reported revenues of N4.4 billion for the 2025 financial year, up from N4.1 billion the previous year, with total assets rising to N33.5 billion.
