Even though virus-related shutdowns have hindered the pace of mineral exploration in recent weeks—some regions more than others—progress is still being made on multiple fronts. Creating shareholder value is the primary objective of the companies we follow here at Highballerstocks… virus be damned. Three of the companies on our shortlist dropped headlines last week. Two […]

Deep value in the Highballer portfolio – Cartier (ECR), Defense (DEFN.V), and White Gold (WGO.V)
Last week I profiled what I considered one of the better values in the junior exploration arena… Strategic Metals (SMD.V) tees up Mount Hinton for high-grade gold and silver With a number of high quality gold and silver plays beginning to catch a bid in recent sessions, Strategic was an anomaly.

A February 21 Roundup featuring Forum (FMC.V), Goldseek (GSK.C), Patriot (PMET.V) and others
Gold continues consolidating its steep run launched in early November 2022. It recently tested support at $1825 after slipping through its 50-period SMA. Amidst this volatility, news events dictate trade as rattled (twitchy) investors attempt to glean the Fed’s next move. The current weakness in the metal weighs heavy on many of the stocks we […]

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?

Navigating the complex permitting […]

Inflation, Gold, Copper, Bitcoin – Part 2 – also Cartier (ECR.V), Highgold (HIGH.V), Kuya (KUYA.C), Pure Gold (PGM.V), Skeena (SKE.T), Minnova (MCI.V), and Forum (FMC.V)
After testing the $1800 level earlier this week, gold backed off, rounding out the week essentially flat. But the setup here looks compelling. Since a double bottom that bookended the month of March (chart below), the metal is grinding out a series of higher lows- higher highs. Having tested and broken out above the 50 […]

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 […]
