Anglo Asian Mining Stock And 2 Gold Picks Backed By Strong Earnings Growth

Services activity in the US is showing strength according to recent PMI data, which hints at resilient demand even as other areas of the economy move at different speeds. That kind of backdrop can be helpful for companies that are expected to grow earnings and already sit on solid balance sheets. This article highlights three stocks from the Healthy high growth potential screener that fit that profile.

The stocks highlighted below are just a small sample, and the full Healthy high growth potential screen surfaced 31 more companies with similarly compelling earnings and balance sheet profiles that are not covered here. If you want to identify and analyze the highest conviction ideas in that broader group, head straight into the Healthy high growth potential screener.

Overview: Anglo Asian Mining is a gold, silver and copper producer focused on operating mines in Azerbaijan, including the Gedabek and Gosha operations that underpin analysts’ expectations for strong earnings growth over the next three years within the Healthy high growth potential theme.

Operations: Anglo Asian Mining generated about US$123 million of revenue from mining operations in Azerbaijan, with gold, silver and copper production all sourced from this single country.

Market Cap: £457.37 million

Anglo Asian Mining may be of interest if you are looking for a miner where current production aligns with analysts’ forecasts for growth in both earnings and revenue. The company moved from a loss in 2024 to a profit of US$17.68 million on US$122.79 million of 2025 sales, which supports analysts’ outlook for high earnings growth and a forecast return on equity above 30%. Recent copper and silver production figures also indicate a business that is scaling output, while still paying a cash dividend. However, a high P/E multiple and reliance on higher risk funding sources mean expectations are already elevated. If earnings momentum or financing conditions change, the share price could be sensitive.

Anglo Asian Mining’s shift back to profit, together with forecasts for high earnings growth, raises a clear question: how much of that story is already priced in, and where does the real upside or risk sit in the analyst forecasts for Anglo Asian Mining

Overview: Sylvania Platinum is a PGM producer that recovers platinum, palladium and rhodium from chrome tailings in South Africa. This tailings retreatment business drives its connection to the Healthy high growth potential theme, while its near surface exploration projects provide longer term optionality rather than the main earnings engine today.

Operations: Sylvania Platinum generates virtually all of its US$156 million of revenue from the Sylvania Dump Operations tailings retreatment business, with a small segment adjustment recorded separately.

Market Cap: £225 million

Sylvania Platinum may warrant closer consideration for investors seeking exposure to PGM earnings that are closely tied to a specific operational edge. In this case the business focuses on extracting metals from existing chrome tailings rather than running deep, capital intensive mines. Forecasts in the source material indicate expectations of growth in both earnings and revenue over the next three years, underpinned by the Sylvania Dump Operations, while net profit margins of about 23% suggest the tailings model is currently efficient. At the same time, the company’s dividend is not well covered by free cash flow and funding is flagged as higher risk, so any pressure on PGM prices or operational issues at the tailings plants could quickly change the picture.

Sylvania Platinum’s tailings engine, healthy margins and higher risk funding profile create a story that many investors may only see half of. Get the full picture in the 5 key rewards and 1 important warning sign

Overview: Metals Exploration is a London based mining company that focuses on identifying, acquiring, exploring and developing gold and other precious and base metal projects. Its activities are anchored by its 100% owned Runruno gold project in the Philippines, which underpins its connection to the Healthy high growth potential theme. For investors, Runruno is the key asset that analysts expect to drive future production and earnings growth, while other exploration interests add optional upside rather than being the main focus today.

Operations: Metals Exploration generates about US$208 million of revenue from gold and other precious metals mining, all from operations in the Philippines.

Market Cap: £459 million

Metals Exploration catches the eye in this screener because earnings are forecast to grow strongly over the next three years, with the Runruno gold project expected to be the main engine of that expansion. Revenue growth forecasts of about 28.7% a year and current net profit margins near 13.9% suggest the business is not only growing but already profitable, while earnings are described as high quality. At the same time, a P/E of roughly 21.7x and an expected jump in return on equity towards 39% mean a lot rests on successful development and permitting at Runruno and on execution at the new Batong Buhay copper gold project. If that progress does not materialise as expected, the growth story could look very different.

Metals Exploration’s growth story hinges on Runruno, yet the real intrigue sits in what current earnings quality and that roughly 21.7x P/E might be signalling about the next phase in the analyst forecasts for Metals Exploration.
