At Jackson Hole late last week, Fed chair Jerome Powell stated that the U.S. economy would need tight monetary policy “for some time” before inflation is reined in. Translation: expect more Fed bullying tactics, which means slower growth, a weaker job market, and “some pain” for many Americans. The duration of the Fed’s aggressive rate […]

Catching up with Apollo Silver (APGO.V) and Forum Energy Metals (FMC.V)
To say that the market has been exacting a certain toll on the junior exploration arena would be a colossal understatement. Even the highest quality asset-rich entities are being stripped down to levels that defy logic. This current environment reminds me of the junior sector at the beginning of the previous bull run earlier this […]

Apollo Silver (APGO.V) and Forum Energy Metals (FMC.V) – A Highballer Update
There’s been some rather extreme volatility and negative sentiment at play where global markets are concerned. With sentiment in the gutter and stocks getting hammered across the board, some market analysts believe we’re near a bottom and are trotting out the C Word – Capitulation. I suppose it makes sense in certain respects. But in […]

Inflation, Gold, and an early spring roundup featuring Goldseek (GSK.C), Teuton (TUO.V), Forum (FMC.V), and Cartier (ECR.V)
Inflation is every investor’s concern right now. It’s on everyone’s radar. Spiraling price pressure doesn’t just represent a loss in purchasing power; it’s a precursor to a lower standard of living (if wages don’t rise commensurate with the spiral). All eyes will be on the CPI numbers set for release this Tuesday (April 12). Analyst estimates […]

Apollo Silver (APGO.V) – (APGOF.OTC) – (6ZF0.FRA) 164.96 million shares outstanding $97.33M market cap based on its […]

Commodities push higher in the wake of Putin’s war – updating Goldseek (GSK.C), Forum (FMC.V), Teuton (TUO.V), and Defense (DEFN.V)
Yesterday’s breakout in the precious metal could set the stage for a massive run in the medium to long term as a de-escalation in Putin’s military aggression against his sovereign (peaceful) neighbor appears highly unlikely. If you were to quiz the likes of Pierre Lassonde, this currency of last resort has the potential to run […]

A Highballer update featuring Banyan (BYN.V), Defense (DEFN.V), Forum (FMC.V), Goldseek (GSK.C), HighGold (HIGH.V), and Prime (PRYM.V)
The price strength in precious metals continues with gold closing out last week’s session at the highest level in some eight months. A flight to safety—mounting tensions along the Russia-Ukraine border and recession fears—underpin this recent price strength. I follow a good number of companies in the junior space, some of which have been presented […]

Forum Energy Metals (FMC.V) secures a strategic acquisition on trend with Orano’s 133M lb Kiggavik Uranium Deposit, Nunavut
Last week, Forum announced a new acquisition in the Thelon Basin, a vastly underexplored region in Nunavut, Canada. Management’s expectations are high for this one. Outside Saskatchewan’s prolific Athabasca Basin several hundred kilometers to the south, the Thelon Basin is the most prospective region in the world for the discovery of new high-grade unconformity-style uranium […]

Forum Energy Metals (FMC.V) options Highrock Uranium Project in the prolific Athabasca Basin
Uranium stocks have pulled out of their corrective tailspin and generated some impressive price trajectory in recent sessions. News out of Kazakhstan is part of the reason why. Kazakhstan unrest: Government calls for Russian help Kazakhstan produced 41% of the world’s uranium supply in 2020. Any supply interruptions will have negative implications for an already […]

Defense (DEFN.V) tables a PEA, Goldseek (GSK.C) drops final Beschefer assays, Harfang (HAR.V) delivers Serpent results, Forum (FMC.V) plots a course for 2022
The past two weeks have been particularly brutal for investors in the junior exploration arena. High-quality stocks are being tossed with little regard for their underlying intrinsic value. At this conjuncture, year-end tax-loss selling season looms large—it seems more outrageous this year than last. If you correctly predicted this rout, and have dry powder, some […]
