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. Navigating the complex permitting […]

Updating Apollo Silver (APGO.V) and Patriot Battery Metals (PMET.V)
The volatility rages on across all market sectors (Gold and Silver are off nearly 3% as I edit this piece). With the Fed set to deliver a half-point rate increase after their two-day meeting on the 3rd and 4th, expect that volatility to continue and perhaps ramp up even further. The next five days of […]

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 (APGO.V) declares a 166 million oz silver resource at its flagship Calico Project in San Bernardino County, California
The recent smackdown notwithstanding, precious metals continue demonstrating price strength as investors set their sights on safe-haven assets. Inflation is running way hot, hitting a 40-year high of 7.5%, and tensions along the border of Russia and Ukraine have the world on edge. The combination of high inflation, accelerating geopolitical uncertainty, volatility in general equities, […]

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 […]

A new addition to the Highballer list – Apollo Silver (APGO.V)
Precious metals have gone on a serious tear in recent sessions, led by silver. This sector is marked by a seemingly endless series of bull traps. A successful test of the $25.00 level would add validity to this move. The fundamentals underpinning firmer metals prices are obvious—debt levels that have taken on a surreal quality, […]

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 […]

Sokoman Minerals (SIC.V) – a well positioned player with >150k highly prospective hectares in Central Newfoundland
When I first launched Highballer stocks in January of 2020, I wanted to highlight the re-rating potential I felt existed in the junior exploration arena. The companies I first featured—those with meaningful ounces in the ground—were trading at what I considered to be absurd valuations. The timing was good. Many of the companies I introduced […]
