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, […]

Cartier (ECR.V) looks to monetize flagship gold asset, sets stage for aggressive drilling campaign at Benoist project
Here’s the thing… every day that a gold miner digs ore out of the ground—every day the company is in business—they reduce their metal inventory. For companies that produce millions of ounces of gold annually, adding to reserves—replacing these ounces—requires a steady stream of new discoveries. What investors new to this arena may not realize […]

Catching up with Philippe Cloutier, CEO Cartier Resources (ECR.V)
Cartier Resources (ECR.V) is no stranger to these pages. I shortlisted the company at the beginning of 2020 in my maiden Highballer report—Highballer’s Top Three Picks for 2020. The stock was a no-brainer for a shortlist candidate. Its price trajectory over the past few months has demonstrated good, steady, stair-stepping accumulation. For those of you […]

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 […]

A Highballer update for August 2, 2022 – Is It Go Time?
The last few weeks have been hectic. In the wake of last week’s .75% rate hike, gold formed a higher low on the charts. But will it stick? If the Fed’s bullying tactics towards the inflationary spiral have run their course—if they’ve exacted enough shock value via these high-handed three-quarter-point rate hikes—it could be game […]

Prime Mining (PRYM.V) tags bonanza grade silver at Los Reyes project in Sinaloa Mexico – shifts into Phase-2 drilling
The last time we checked in with Prime, they were reporting “more bonanza grades” at their 13,800-hectare flagship Los Reyes project in the mining-friendly state of Sinaloa Mexico. They were also adding a 7th rig to their 15,000-metre Phase-1 drill campaign. Los Reyes is a district scale low sulphidation epithermal gold-silver project located in a […]

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 […]
