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.

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.

An Oct 11 Highballer report featuring Defense (DEFN.V), Forum (FMC.V), Goldseek (GSK.C), HighGold (HIGH.V), Prime (PRYM), and Teuton (TUO.V)
