A high-grade gold and base metal play with Tier-1 potential – HighGold Mining (HIGH.V)
Last week, I elevated three companies from the junior exploration arenas to top-shelf status in my first report under the ‘Highballer’ banner—Highballer’s Top Three Picks for 2020. I didn’t arrive at this top three list lightly. I went with Defense Metals (DEFN.V), Cartier Resources (ECR.V), and Coral Gold (CLH.V) because of the quality of the […]

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 […]

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 […]

Carnage in the junior exploration arena – risk vs reward
For all the years I’ve been following the junior sector, since my mid-teens, I’m hard-pressed to trot out a meaningful list of companies that succeeded in transitioning from ‘junior explorer‘ to ‘junior producer.’ Probing our planet’s subsurface layers to generate an economic mineral resource requires a very particular set of skills.

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 […]
