Contango Ore, Inc. (NYSE:CTGO) is one of the 10 Metal Stocks with Insider Buying in 2025.

Following the successful completion of its second production campaign for 2025, the company witnessed a significant sale from its director.

Alaska-based company, Contango Ore, Inc. (NYSE:CTGO) focuses on exploration and development of precious metals and copper projects in the Tintina Gold Belt. While holding a 30% interest in the Manh Choh gold mine via a joint venture with Kinross Gold, the company also manages large, leased claim positions, including Lucky Shot and Johnson Tract.

On June 16, 2025, Contango Ore, Inc. (NYSE:CTGO) reported the successful completion of its second production campaign for 2025, with its share constituting 15,700 ounces of gold, approximately. Following the completion, the company anticipates a cash distribution of more than $20M in late June from Peak Gold JV.

Despite the expected income in cash from the second production campaign, Contango Ore, Inc. (NYSE:CTGO) witnessed a decline in insider ownership on July 11, 2025. The company’s Director, Darwin Green, sold 1,818 shares in a transaction valued at $36,778.
