(NYSE: $USAS ). Based in Toronto, the company is a Canadian firm with interests in several North American gold and silver mines. Americas Gold and Silver owns 100% of the Galena Mine in the U.S. State of Idaho and holds additional assets in both Mexico and Canada. The price of gold is up 40% in the last 12 months and currently at an all-time high of just over $3,600 U.S. an ounce. At the same time, the price of silver has gained 25% in the past year to currently trade at $41.15 U.S. an ounce, its highest level in more than a decade. Prices for precious metals are marching higher as investors seek safety amid market turmoil and geopolitical uncertainty. With gold and silver prices surging, the stock of Americas Gold and Silver has also been on a bull run, rising 370% in the last year, including a 188% increase so far in 2025. A market cap of only $1 billion ($720 million U.S.) makes Americas Gold and Silver more of a micro-cap stock. Although there's nothing small about its share price performance. However, trading at $2.82 per share, USAS stock is classified as a penny stock, defined as any security that trades for less than $5. The company isn't yet profitable and doesn't pay a dividend. Still, it looks like a great way for investors to play the current boom in gold and silver prices. Notably, many Wall Street firms expect gold and silver prices to continue climbing higher amid ongoing market turmoil and political volatility. Some analysts are forecasting that the price of gold will top $4,000 U.S. an ounce and silver will breach $50 U.S. per ounce in 2026.
