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.

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, […]

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

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 […]
