Everything in the junior exploration arena, with few exceptions, has taken it on the chin in recent weeks. High-quality gold and silver stocks have been tossed with little regard for their underlying fundamental value. To paraphrase my thinking in a recent Equity Guru article… If your convictions regarding the precious metals are weak, you’ve likely […]

Cos on the Highballer shortlist making headlines – Forum (FMC.V), Banyan (BYN.V), Harfang (HAR.V), Skeena (SKE.V), and HighGold (HIGH.V)
This is a brief mid-week report updating several of the Cos on our shortlist making news today (Sep. 9th). Forum Energy Metals (FMC.V)… … dropped the following headline today: Forum Identifies Nickel-Copper-Palladium Targets at Love Lake Project, Saskatchewan; Commences Field Program When I asked Forum CEO, Rick Mazur, if he’d consider optioning out his Love […]
A new addition to the Highballer shortlist—Harfang Exploration (HAR.V) – Also BYN.V, DEFN.V, ECR.V, MCI.V, PGM.V, SKE.T
I apologize for the lag between articles. I’ve been scouring the junior landscape in search of a new entry, a new addition for the Highballer shortlist portfolio—a list that currently reads eleven. I’m reviewing several potential candidates. All strike me as intriguing speculations. All boast the fundamentals I require in a Junior ExploreCo: solid management, […]
A banner week for the Highballer shortlist – Banyan (BYN.V), Coral (CLH.V), Defense (DEFN.V), HighGold (HIGH.V), Pure Gold (PGM.V), and Skeena (SKE.V)
The Highballer shortlist generated a fair number of headlines last week. There’ll be no preamble today. Let’s get right to it. Banyan Gold (BYN.V) 134.24 million shares outstanding $34.23M market cap based on its recent close at $0.255 Between its two Yukon based projects—AurMac and Hyland—the company holds over 1.4 million ounces in the Indicated […]
Banyan (BYN.V) to drill AurMac, Cartier (ECR.V) tags more high-grade Au, Pure Gold (PGM.V) launches 30k meter drilling campaign, Strategic (SMD.V) goes hard at Mt. Hinton
Gold continues to consolidate gains registered after a sharp push higher from its March 16 ‘crash day’ lows. We’re going into our third month of sideways chop. No one knows for sure how this sideways channel will resolve itself, but without a doubt, if (when) gold successfully challenges $1,800 again, it’ll be watched by a […]
Banyan (BYN.V) drops a 43-101, White Gold (WGO.V) tables 2020 exp plans, Pure Gold (PGM.V) bags a billionaire, Cartier (ECR.V) tags high-grade Au
Is it too early to declare Game-On for the junior exploration arena? The recent across-the-board price action looks and feels right. In many cases, good news is greeted with positive market depth. And the market appears to have more than lint lining its pockets. Earlier last week I came across a chart supporting the notion […]
Banyan Gold (BYN.V) – resource expansion and discovery potential in the Yukon
In an earlier offering, we talked about peak gold, lean project pipelines and how that is forcing producing companies to hunt: Fact: every day a Gold Producer digs ore out of the ground—every day they’re in business—their precious metal inventory shrinks. Whether it’s a Senior, a Mid-tier, or a Small Producer, the key to long-term […]
Rounding up the 2020 shortlist and Highballer’s Top Three for 2021
If this is your first visit to Highballerstocks—if you’re wondering who or what Highballer is—the About link at the top of the page will help shed some light on the subject. An excerpt… What’s with the name “Highballer”? It was in the treeplanting sector of British Columbia (and Alberta) that Nolan developed an obsessive stop-at-nothing […]
Forum tees up Cu targets at Janice Lake, Skeena raises $40M, Cartier sets sights on high-grade Benoist project, Coral approves TO arrangement with Nomad, Pure Gold on the cusp of 1st gold pour, Banyan drops Powerline zone assays
The pace of exploration can test one’s patience. “Why can’t they just mobilize a damn rig to the property already?” is a question I get a lot. Companies helmed by disciplined geo-types will often pull out all the stops to increase the odds of discovery success. Prospective ground is scoured by map, by air… on […]
A rundown of the companies comprising the Highballer shortlist
I decided today was as good a day as any to take stock (scuse the pun) and see how the Highballer portfolio has performed since I began covering our shortlist of ExploreCos earlier this year. I launched Highballerstocks on January 15, 2020, to take advantage of what I believed was the beginning of an epic […]
