The pace of exploration can test one’s patience. “Why can’t they just mobilize a damn rig to the property already?” is a question I get a lot. Companies helmed by disciplined geo-types will often pull out all the stops to increase the odds of discovery success. Prospective ground is scoured by map, by air… on […]

Companies on the Highballer shortlist pushing forward as the metal consolidates – Banyan (BYN.V), HighGold (HIGH.V), Cartier (ECR.V), Harfang (HAR.V), and Defense (DEFN.V)
Everything in the junior exploration arena, with few exceptions, has taken it on the chin in recent weeks.
