Formation Metals (FOMO): Is it the Next Big Gold Stock to Watch in 2025?

Disseminated on behalf of Formation Metals Inc.

Formation Metals Inc. (CSE:FOMO, OTCPK:FOMTF, FSE:VF1) is turning heads in the mining world as it pushes forward with one of Quebec’s most promising exploration projects. With gold prices soaring and demand for critical metals on the rise, this junior explorer could be sitting on a major discovery.

Here’s why savvy investors should be watching Formation Metals closely in 2025.

Gold Bull Market and Clean Energy Trends Align Perfectly

Gold has soared to record highs in 2025, trading above $3,400 per ounce. Central banks and investors are rushing to buy gold as a safe-haven asset. President Trump’s renewed push for tariffs has created more market uncertainty, which is also driving prices up.

Looking ahead, the outlook stays strong. JP Morgan expects gold to average around $3,675 per ounce by late 2025 and climb toward $4,000 by mid-2026. Demand is likely to stay high, with central banks and investors expected to buy about 710 tonnes each quarter this year.

Also, the demand for metals tied to electrification and clean energy is surging. And Formation’s flagship N2 gold project aligns perfectly with both trends. Additionally, Quebec has simple permitting rules, so projects move faster with less paperwork and delays.

Formation Metals’ Flagship N2 Gold Project: A Prime Asset in Quebec’s Abitibi Gold Belt

The miner’s flagship asset, the N2 Gold Project is located in Quebec’s Abitibi sub province. This region is well-known for producing millions of ounces of gold because of its rich geology and mining-friendly policies. N2 covers 87 claims across nearly 4,400 hectares and lies right along the Casa Berardi trend which is a home to several major gold discoveries.

More importantly, the property is accessible year-round via highway and logging roads, which makes it easier and cheaper to explore.

Gold Resource Nears 1 Million Ounces!

The N2 Project already holds a historical gold resource of around 870,000 ounces, spread across multiple zones. This includes 18 million tonnes grading roughly 1.4 to 1.5 grams per tonne of gold, plus a higher-grade zone (RJ) with 243,000 tonnes at 7.82 g/t.

What’s even more exciting is that much of the property remains underexplored. Only about a third of the “A” zone has been drilled, leaving over 3 kilometers open for future expansion. The Management believes that with proper exploration, the resource could grow well beyond three million ounces.

2025 Drill Program Fully Funded and Underway

It has launched a 20,000-metre drill program, with the first 5,000 metres fully funded and set in motion. The focus is on expanding the known gold zones, especially “A,” “RJ,” and “Central” while also chasing new mineralized trends.

This kind of aggressive drilling is often what sets early-stage juniors apart. Formation is betting big on the ground it owns, and investors may soon see the results.

Base Metals Upside: Copper and Zinc Intercepts Add Value

Gold might be the headliner, but there’s more to N2. A fresh review of historic drill core revealed notable copper and zinc intercepts across the property. That means Formation could be holding onto a multi-metal discovery, not just a gold project.

In a market where base metals like copper are seeing renewed demand with the EV boom, infrastructure, and clean tech, that’s a major bonus.

Undervalued Formation Metals Stock Offers Re-Rating Potential

With C$2.8 million in working capital and $14.3M market cap, the mining company is fully funded for its 2025 drill plans. That financial stability removes a key risk often seen in the junior space i.e. running out of cash mid-program.

Based on these figures, experts say that if FOMO can confirm even a 3 million-ounce gold resource, the in-ground value at current gold prices could exceed $9.9 billion. Assuming just a 50% success rate in its drill campaign, that’s potentially $4.95 billion in value creation, yet the company’s market cap remains a fraction of that.

This gap presents a clear re-rating opportunity. Once drill results hit the market and permit approvals come through (expected within weeks), investors could start pricing in N2’s full potential.

Strong Re-rating Potential

Formation Metals Stock Could Be 2025’s Breakout Mining Play

The company is shaping up to be one of 2025’s most interesting junior mining stories. With a large, underexplored gold project in a tier-one jurisdiction, base metals potential, a fully funded drill campaign, and a clear path to resource expansion, this company is positioned for a major upside move.

For investors looking to ride the gold wave and get exposure to copper and zinc also Formation Metals could be the opportunity to watch before the market catches on.
