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 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?

Optimum (OPV.V) and Teuton (TUO.V) tag high-grade at Harry Project, Golden Triangle BC – Forum updates progress at Wollaston, Athabasca Basin – some thoughts on market volatility
Volatility dominates the investment landscape as this inflationary spiral appears to have legs. There’s potential for tremendous shock value in the coming weeks as the Fed has taken on a decidedly hawkish stance leading up to its next meeting in May.

A new addition to the Highballer list – Optimum Ventures (OPV.V)
The allure of the discovery cycle… There’s nothing like establishing and holding a position in an early-stage junior exploration company that goes on to tag a significant discovery. It’s akin to picking a winning set of lotto numbers. The allure is especially amplified today in this era of depleted ore reserves and a discovery cycle […]

A new addition to the Highballer list – Teuton Resources Corp. (TUO.V)
The year was 1988. The discovery was tucked away in the Unuk and Iskut River area along the rugged coastal mountains of northwestern British Columbia—a region known as the Golden Triangle. The discovery, marked by ‘Hole 109’, tagged a jaw-dropping 208 meters of 27.2 grams per tonne gold and 30.2 grams per tonne silver. The […]
