Tasman Metals Acquisition by Gold Is Money 2

Acquisition of Tasman Metals adds mining expertise to Gold is Money 2’s investor education platform, enhancing research capabilities and content for precious metals investors.

New York City, New York – June 26, 2025 – Gold is Money 2, a premier online gold investment community and financial publisher, today announced that it has acquired Tasman Metals Ltd., a Vancouver-based precious and strategic metals mining company. The acquisition was finalized this month, integrating Tasman Metals’ extensive mining knowledge and assets into Gold is Money 2’s platform. The terms of the deal were not disclosed, as the transaction is private. By uniting a renowned investor forum with a mining industry veteran, the move is set to significantly enhance precious metals investing knowledge, research capabilities, and market reporting for the Gold is Money 2 audience.

Strategic Rationale and Investor Benefits

Gold is Money 2 has long been recognized as a leading forum and information hub for gold and silver enthusiasts, where users engage in in-depth discussions on precious metals markets and learn strategies to protect their wealth. The acquisition of Tasman Metals builds on that foundation by bringing in first-hand industry expertise. Tasman Metals, founded in 2009, is known for its exploration and development of critical metals – including rare earth elements (REEs) and tungsten – in mining-friendly Scandinavian jurisdictions. Tasman’s flagship Norra Kärr project in Sweden was one of mainland Europe’s only compliant heavy rare earth element resources highlighting the company’s unique technical expertise and strategic importance. By incorporating Tasman’s mining team and geological data, Gold is Money 2 aims to broaden its content beyond traditional precious metals into strategic metals, providing investors with a more comprehensive view of the metals market.

For investors and industry stakeholders, this strategic combination means deeper research and enhanced reporting. Gold is Money 2 will leverage Tasman’s on-the-ground mining insights to enrich its market analysis and educational content. Subscribers and forum members can expect more data-driven reports, such as detailed coverage of mining projects, resource assessments, and first-hand commentary on metals supply trends. This will complement Gold is Money 2’s existing discussions on gold and silver with authoritative information on critical materials crucial to modern economies. The result is a one-stop knowledge platform that spans from exploration and production dynamics to investment strategies in bullion and mining equities. In an era of growing interest in tangible assets and resource security, Gold is Money 2’s expanded capabilities will help investors make better-informed decisions in the precious metals space.

Executive Commentary on the Acquisition

Chuck Farris, CFO of Gold is Money 2, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition’s impact on the company’s mission. “We are thrilled to welcome Tasman Metals into the Gold is Money 2 family,” said Farris. “For years, Gold is Money 2 has empowered precious metals investors with knowledge and community support. Now, by adding Tasman’s mining expertise, we’re elevating our platform to a whole new level. This marriage of a leading investor forum with a proven mining company will provide our readers unprecedented insights – from geology and production costs to market trends – all in one place. It’s a game-changer for how we research and report on precious metals.”

Chuck Farris, Chief Financial Officer of Gold is Money 2, highlighted the strategic fit and benefits to investors. “Tasman Metals brings a wealth of real-world industry data and technical acumen that will supercharge our research division,” Farris noted. “Investors using Gold is Money 2 will gain access to analyses rooted in actual mining project experience, not just market theory. We believe this will enhance the quality of our content and tools – whether it’s more accurate forecasts of metal supply-demand or deeper due diligence on mining stocks. Ultimately, our goal is to give precious metals investors an information edge, and this acquisition delivers exactly that.”

On the side of Tasman Metals, the sentiment is equally positive. Mark Saxon, former President & CEO of Tasman Metals, commented on the opportunity to reach a broader audience through Gold is Money 2. “Tasman’s team has always been passionate about the crucial role of strategic metals in the world’s economy,” Saxon said. “By joining forces with Gold is Money 2, our work – from the Norra Kärr rare earth project to our other exploration insights – will inform and educate a vast community of investors. We’ve effectively connected the mining pit to the investor’s portfolio. I am confident that this integration will not only enhance Gold is Money’s content, but also foster greater transparency and understanding in the precious metals investment arena.”

Industry Implications and Future Plans

The Gold is Money 2–Tasman Metals deal underscores a growing convergence between resource development and investor education. By linking a mining company’s expertise directly with an investment information platform, the acquisition breaks new ground. Industry analysts note that it is uncommon for a digital media/forum company to acquire a mining firm; however, this innovative approach could set a precedent for how investors get information. Bridging the gap between producers and investors may lead to more informed investment decisions and greater trust in reported data. Gold is Money 2’s management believes that having in-house mining capabilities will enable faster, richer reporting on breaking developments in the metals sector – from exploration results to changes in resource regulations – all filtered through an investor-oriented lens.

Following the acquisition, Gold is Money 2 plans to establish a Precious Metals Research Center on its website, where content from Tasman’s geological archives and ongoing analysis will be published. This may include exclusive white papers on topics like rare earth supply chains, tungsten market outlooks, and gold mining cost curves, alongside the forum’s active discussions. The company also indicated that it will maintain Tasman Metals’ existing projects and commitments. Any active exploration data or reports from Tasman will be shared with Gold is Money 2’s audience, and there are plans to possibly resume exploration at key Tasman project sites with support from Gold is Money 2’s investor community. “Our members are always looking for the next insight or opportunity,” CRO Chuck Farris added. “Don’t be surprised if one day we invite them to participate in projects on the ground – that’s the kind of synergy we envision as we unite investing knowledge with mining know-how.”

Importantly, Gold is Money 2 affirmed that it remains committed to its core mission of providing unbiased, insightful information to precious metals investors. The site will continue to operate as an open forum and news outlet, now augmented by Tasman’s technical team. Readers can expect the same straightforward guidance on topics like the best gold IRA companies, market trends, and economic commentary – now enriched with content such as mining project updates and interviews with geologists. For precious metals investors, this move could mean access to institutional-grade research that was previously difficult to obtain outside of major mining companies or paid services.

Market watchers say the acquisition also reflects confidence in the long-term outlook for metals. Gold prices recently trading around record highs have spurred increased investor interest in mining assets and information services alike. By acquiring Tasman Metals, Gold is Money 2 is positioning itself at the nexus of this trend, combining a community-driven approach with direct industry insight. This unique blend is expected to create value for both companies’ stakeholders: Gold is Money 2 strengthens its content and credibility, and Tasman’s projects gain exposure to a large base of enthusiastic investors.

About Tasman Metals Ltd.

Tasman Metals Ltd. is a Canadian mineral exploration company (formerly TSXV: TSM) that has focused on the discovery and development of strategic and precious metal deposits. Headquartered in Vancouver, BC, Tasman’s operations have been primarily in Scandinavia, where the company assembled a unique portfolio of projects in stable, mining-friendly jurisdictions. From 2009 to 2016, Tasman Metals owned the mining rights to the Norra Kärr rare earth element deposit in southern Sweden, which was one of the most significant heavy rare earth projects in Europe. The company also acquired and explored multiple tungsten and rare earth projects across Sweden and Finland, aiming to provide strategic metals crucial for high-tech industries. Tasman Metals earned a reputation for technical excellence – its Norra Kärr project’s preliminary economic assessment demonstrated robust economics and a long mine life. In 2016, Tasman Metals was merged into Leading Edge Materials Corp., and its name later became less prominent in public markets. However, the Tasman brand and legacy live on through its geological expertise and project data, which are now being revived under Gold is Money 2’s ownership. By joining Gold is Money 2, Tasman Metals is poised to contribute its industry experience to a broad community of investors, continuing its mission in a new capacity.
