With indications that we’re in the early stages of a bull run in junior mining equities, now that the precious metal is carving out new high ground, it’s a good time to bring Highballer up to date. When I first started scribbling these reports a couple years back, I tasked myself with generating a list […]

Forum Energy Metals (FMC.V) preps to drill flagship U3O8 project in Nunavut, announces key new hire
With Spot Uranium testing triple-digits—currently trading at $100/lb—those in the bull camp believe the momentum witnessed over the past eight months will continue. Unabated. The fundamentals underpinning the energy-dense metal are highly supportive as the world looks to rebuild supply chains that have all but vanished. While many of the higher-quality equities have tacked on […]

A late November update featuring Abitibi Metals (AMQ.C) and Forum Energy Metals (FMC.V)
The recent launch and ensuing price chart trajectory of Abitibi Metals (AMQ.C) is one of the reasons we remain true to this Wild West sector, despite the carnage witnessed in recent weeks/months. After trotting out a new acquisition on Nov. 16, the stock went on a high-volume tear. My interest in Abitibi Metals (formerly known […]

A Junior Sector Roundup plus an update on Forum Energy Metals (FMC.V)
The bear market in junior (exploration) equities has become so entrenched, so protracted that many are questioning whether we’ll ever see a return to normal valuations, let alone a raging bull market. But at the risk of coming off as a lone voice in the wilderness, I’m confident we’ll see a meaningful turn in the […]

Forum Energy Metals (FMC.V) tags high-grade U3O8 – shares rip higher
It’s no secret that uranium is on a tear. Spot U3O8 is trading at levels not seen since 2011, marking a renaissance in the energy-dense metal as utilities around the globe scramble to lock in supply. Taking a boo at bellwether Cameco Corp, it’s also staking new high ground pressing multi-decade highs and looks to […]

Forum Energy Metals (FMC.V) – testing its Nunavut asset with the biz end of the drill bit
The summer doldrums are in full force across much of the junior exploration sector. Though there are a few notable exceptions—Snowline (SGD.V) and Mayfair (MFG), highlighted here in recent months—the bargains crossing my screen are taking on a surreal quality. Forum Energy Metals (FMC.V) – (FDCFF.OTC) 224.02 million shares outstanding $12.32M market cap based on […]

A mid-May Highballer Roundup featuring Patriot (PMET.V), Prime (PRYM.V), i-80 (IAU.TO), Teuton (TUO.V), Goldseek (GSK.C), Forum (FMC.V), HighGold (HIGH.V), Arizona Metals (AMC.TO) and others
If you’re inclined to wager bets in this high-risk/high-reward arena, I don’t need to tell you how compelling the current set-up is for medium to long-term (high-quality) exploration and development plays. And the potential is not just in gold and silver—it runs the (metals) gamut. It’s fair to say that, as a society, we’ve been […]

An early April Highballer Report featuring Forum (FMC.V) and Patriot (PMET.V)
As Gold consolidates after taking out $2k, there’s anticipation of an imminent assault on all-time highs. The conditions are right for a powerful, sustainable push to higher ground. Of course, much of the short-term price action will be data-driven vis-à-vis a backdrop of falling yields, a sagging Greenback, and weak US economic data—not to mention […]

A March 13 Highballer Update featuring Forum (FMC.V), Apollo (APGO.V), i-80 Gold (IAU.TO), and Paycore (CORE.V)
‘Uncharted waters’ is perhaps the best characterization of the environment we’re currently in as the biggest bank failure in nearly 15 years rattles the global economic landscape. Markets are now sizing up the potential fallout from the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (and Signature Bank). To help settle rattled nerves, and to prevent an all-out […]

A February 21 Roundup featuring Forum (FMC.V), Goldseek (GSK.C), Patriot (PMET.V) and others
Gold continues consolidating its steep run launched in early November 2022. It recently tested support at $1825 after slipping through its 50-period SMA. Amidst this volatility, news events dictate trade as rattled (twitchy) investors attempt to glean the Fed’s next move. The current weakness in the metal weighs heavy on many of the stocks we […]
