Two companies on my list offered updates in recent sessions. This article includes some interesting details from notes taken during conversations with Apollo Silver’s CEO, Tom PereGoodoff, and Forum Energy Metal’s CEO, Rick Mazur. We’ll start with Apollo. Apollo Silver (APGO.V) – (APGOF.OTC) – (6ZF0.FRA) 164.96 million shares outstanding $97.33M market cap based on its […]
Defense (DEFN.V), Cartier (ECR.V), Goldseek (GSK.C), HighGold (HIGH.V), and Prime (PRYM.V) – A Highballer Roundup
I’ll dispense with the usual preamble. Right to it. Y’all. Defense Metals (DEFN.V) In this era of escalating geopolitical tension and tight commodity supply chains, Defense Metals is exploring/developing a rare-earth elements (REE) deposit that holds strategic importance in a commodity arena dominated by Chinese interests. The Company continues to deliver robust newsflow from its […]
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 […]
Commodities push higher in the wake of Putin’s war – updating Goldseek (GSK.C), Forum (FMC.V), Teuton (TUO.V), and Defense (DEFN.V)
Yesterday’s breakout in the precious metal could set the stage for a massive run in the medium to long term as a de-escalation in Putin’s military aggression against his sovereign (peaceful) neighbor appears highly unlikely. If you were to quiz the likes of Pierre Lassonde, this currency of last resort has the potential to run […]
A Highballer update featuring Banyan (BYN.V), Defense (DEFN.V), Forum (FMC.V), Goldseek (GSK.C), HighGold (HIGH.V), and Prime (PRYM.V)
The price strength in precious metals continues with gold closing out last week’s session at the highest level in some eight months. A flight to safety—mounting tensions along the Russia-Ukraine border and recession fears—underpin this recent price strength. I follow a good number of companies in the junior space, some of which have been presented […]
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, […]
Rounding up the companies on the Highballer list with recent headlines – Prime (PRYM.V), Teuton (TUO.V), Goldseek (GSK.C), and Defense (DEFN.V)
Several of the companies on the Highballer list dropped headlines over the past week. Below is a brief summary of these news events. Right to it… Prime Mining (PRYM.V) – (PRMNF.OTC) – (04V3.FRA) On January 12th, Prime Resources announced Phase-1 results from stepout drilling at Noche Buena, one of eight known deposits at their wholly-owned […]
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 […]
