Gold is currently testing support at $1,800 (lower blue line) after crashing through support at $1,850. Current prices represent multi-month lows. If $1,800 doesn’t hold (that’s where the 200 SMA is at), $1,750 might be in the cards. Of course, this sudden price weakness might be a big-ass Bear Trap. If so, the metal should […]

Cos on the Highballer shortlist pushing their flagship assets further along the curve – Harfang (HAR.V), Skeena (SKE.T), White Gold (WGO.V), and Minnova (MCI.V)
Several companies on the Highballer shortlist have been generating significant assay-related newsflow over the past week or so. Let’s get right to it. First, I should mention that I continue scouring the junior ExploreCo landscape for companies with the right combination of assets, jurisdiction, and of course…management. But it’s not an easy task—I’m not a […]

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, […]

Precious Metals on a Tear – a Roundup of Companies Worth a Close Look Plus a Forum Energy Metals Update
Gold is on a tear, carving out fresh all-time highs as a matter of routine. Short-term (shallow) corrections aside, the metal’s momentum has been impressive, up roughly 27% since the start of the year. Where the equities are concerned, the Bigs appear to be under steady accumulation as per the GDX (chart below). Many of […]

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 […]

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 […]

A Highballer Roundup for December 6 featuring a host of names – familiar and new
I’ll dispense with my usual preamble blather, cept to say… Gold stocks, as per the GDX, are up roughly 30% from their 2022 lows. Gold stocks are stronger than all other major indexes. The GDXJ is up closer to 40% from its 2022 low. My point: this recent breakout could mark the initial stages of […]

A Nov. 8 Highballer report updating the companies on our list PLUS a few new names that may represent good value at this juncture
Just as Gold appeared to be in the process of breaking major support last week, it staged a dramatic reversal after tagging a fresh 52-week low. On the weekly chart, it staged an outside reversal (taking out the previous week’s low and closing above the previous week’s high). Interesting price action. As has been the […]

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 […]

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 […]
