I’m looking to shake things up a bit here at Highballer. I’ve been thinking long and hard and I’ve decided to cover certain highly speculative companies in the pre-discovery phase of their cycles, and those following up on new discoveries with aggressive drill campaigns. The goal is to deliver a more dynamic, broad-ranging read (I […]

Forum (FMC.V), Prime (PRYM.V), Skeena (SKE.T), Harfang (HAR.V), and the Disconnect…
In a recent Equity Guru piece, I presented the disconnect—the divergence—that exists between gold stocks and the underlying metal via a chart comparing GLD (the SPDR Gold Shares ETF) to the GDXJ (the Global Junior Gold Miners Index). I suppose you can blame this price weakness on the summer doldrums—the volume has dried up in […]

The drills turn at Forum’s Janice Lake Project in Northcentral Saskatchewan and HighGold’s Johnson Tract Project in Southcentral Alaska
The following is a brief update related to two of the companies we follow closely here at Highballer. Brief, because it’s currently pushing 41C (107F) as I tap away on my keyboard, beads of sweat colonizing my forehead and the nape of my neck. I’ve consumed 8 liters of H2O and my day is barely […]

Forum (FMC.V) announces initial results from Janice Lake, Harfang (HAR.V) confirms kilometric-scale gold structure at Serpent Project, Prime (PRYM.V) delivers MORE bonanza grades at Los Reyes Project
After smashing through all-time highs, Copper—the malleable, red-orange metal with superior thermal and electrical conductivity properties—is currently consolidating its gains after that historic breakout.

Having bookended the month of March with a Double Bottom and smashing through stubborn resistance at $1800 last week (a hard-fought 10-week high), Gold is holding on to its gains, settling in above that critical $1,800 line. The next stop for the precious metal is the 200 SMA at roughly $1856. Once that level falls, […]

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 […]

Inflation, Gold, Copper – Forum (FMC.V), Defense (DEFN.V) and Prime (PRYM.V) – Part 1
Recent trade in gold is showing some real conviction having taken out key resistance at $1750, a level that has held prices in check for the past month and a half. After forming a Double Bottom at key support in mid to late March, the low may be in for what some call “eight agonizing […]
