Current Insider Selling Trends (Feb 2026)
ASX (Australian) Gold Miners: Executives and directors at Australia’s top gold mining firms have sold more than $67 million worth of shares in February 2026 alone. This selling occurred as gold prices hit a record $5,200 AUD ($3,400+ USD) per ounce.
Americas Gold and Silver (TSX: USA): Insiders at this company have sold more shares than they have bought over the last three months, which analysts currently view as a “weak sign” for short-term valuation.
Endeavour Silver (TSE: EDR): On February 21, 2026, an insider sold 100,000 shares (a 27% reduction of their stake) at an average price of C$18.99.
Barrick Gold (NYSE: GOLD): Several directors, including Jeffrey Benjamin, have executed multiple sales in mid-February 2026, with transaction values ranging from $300,000 to over $1.4 million per sale.
Freeport-McMoRan (FCX): While primarily a copper miner, its gold/silver-heavy operations saw insiders sell nearly $34 million in shares in February 2026, including significant position reductions by the CFO and Chief Accounting Officer.

Are There Any Insider Buyers?
While selling is the dominant trend, there is at least one high-profile exception:
Hycroft Mining (NASDAQ: HYMC): Major investor Eric Sprott reported a massive $6.3 million purchase of shares on February 20, 2026, even as the stock traded well above typical “Fair Value” estimates.

Analyst Interpretation
Financial experts generally do not view this selling as a sign that a crash is imminent. Instead, it is being characterized as:
Portfolio Diversification: Executives are cashing in on “windfall gains” after gold’s 77% surge over the last 12 months.
Profit Taking: With miners generating record free cash flow, many insiders are simply realizing gains at what they perceive to be historic high valuations.

Showed the world he can be as misogynist as the next man because it is one of their Achilles heels, either chasing or from demeaning their achievement to patronizing women. Gets them in trouble every time but once that alter ego gets going as big hockey game it happens every time. Not only did the US men’s team win but so did the US women’s team. The women’s team worked just as hard but was met with condensing remarks from Trump pissing in their parade not even acknowledging their victory.
Telling the men’s team he’s going to have to invite the womens team too or he might get impeached. The woman told him that’s okay and passed on the invite.

My guess the miners moved on speculation mainly of supply shortages. From then on they will need to show consistent and or increasing revenues. Like work done then get paid.

On strong influence over the supreme Court. Although not that thrilled over Kavanaugh consolation statement over decent of Roberts, there are other ways.
Yeah, I hope when that line finally busts it’s going to explode.
It seems to me that the producers are far outshining the no-producers at this early stage. I’m surprised there hasn’t been much in the way of buyouts or mergers in the sector so far. Maybe if we see some of that start to happen the non-producing entities will catch some speculative cash?
yeah, we’re still not getting any leverage with the shares. OTOH, I remember a time not too long ago when 22 pts. on the HUI was a 5-6% up day and I’d be thrilled, now it’s 2% and I yawn. 🙂
The other thing is these shares are really a mixed bag. Some stellar performers and some just barely being dragged along for the ride. We are not close to the “throw a dart” at a miner and for sure you’ll make money just yet.
Although a buddy of mine told me that two Republicans were leading the polls for governor in CA. In CA. the top two vote getters run against each other for the position, regardless of party affiliation. The bigger problem is the demons have a super majority in the state houses, so the only thing an “R” governor would be able to do is Veto.
That’s a government that needs to be burned to the ground.
California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) needs to work on his pandering skills – after telling a crowd of black people that he’s just like them because he can’t read and got a low SAT score.
