Canadian Gold Investor Goes MAGA

Tensions are rising between Canada and the United States as President Trump pressures companies to move their operations to the U.S. amid his continuing tariff threats. But a Canadian gold investment company is waving the American flag. Vancouver-based Palisades Goldcorp Ltd. has renamed its Nevada subsidiary to Made in America Gold Corp. from NV King Goldlands Inc.

“With gold’s recent ascent to all-time highs and a renewed focus on domestic production, our name change to Made in America Gold Corp. highlights our continued focus on the United States as a top jurisdiction for mining,” Palisades Chief Executive Officer Collin Kettell proclaimed.

In fact, Made in America Gold does not actually “make” or produce gold. It’s an investment firm, rather than a miner, that owns claims to potential gold mining sites. The company says it is one of the largest landholders in Nevada, with more than 10,000 mineral claim holdings, the third largest in the state. Its holdings are east of Reno, in north-central Nevada, a belt of land with mineral reserves known as the Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend.

The company holds positions in operations focused on finding and developing gold deposits, and touts itself as being, “highly focused on maximizing returns to the benefit of all shareholders.” But the company’s shares, traded on Canada’s small-capitalization TSX Venture Exchange, lost more than half their value over the 12-month period through the end of March 2025.
