Gold: What initially looked like the early stages of an assault on last April’s highs ended in a freefall back below $1900. After eight consecutive weeks of steady accumulation, this correction might represent a healthy pause before the next leg higher. And there might be enough gravitation pull to yank the metal back into the $1825 […]

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 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 […]

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 […]

Optimum (OPV.V) and Teuton (TUO.V) tag high-grade at Harry Project, Golden Triangle BC – Forum updates progress at Wollaston, Athabasca Basin – some thoughts on market volatility
Volatility dominates the investment landscape as this inflationary spiral appears to have legs. There’s potential for tremendous shock value in the coming weeks as the Fed has taken on a decidedly hawkish stance leading up to its next meeting in May. The Bank of Canada may go even more rogue on rates with as much as […]

Prime Mining (PRYM.V) tags bonanza grade silver at Los Reyes project in Sinaloa Mexico – shifts into Phase-2 drilling
The last time we checked in with Prime, they were reporting “more bonanza grades” at their 13,800-hectare flagship Los Reyes project in the mining-friendly state of Sinaloa Mexico. They were also adding a 7th rig to their 15,000-metre Phase-1 drill campaign. Los Reyes is a district scale low sulphidation epithermal gold-silver project located in a […]

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 […]

Rounding up the 2020 shortlist and Highballer’s Top Three for 2021
If this is your first visit to Highballerstocks—if you’re wondering who or what Highballer is—the About link at the top of the page will help shed some light on the subject. An excerpt… What’s with the name “Highballer”? It was in the treeplanting sector of British Columbia (and Alberta) that Nolan developed an obsessive stop-at-nothing […]

Forum tees up Cu targets at Janice Lake, Skeena raises $40M, Cartier sets sights on high-grade Benoist project, Coral approves TO arrangement with Nomad, Pure Gold on the cusp of 1st gold pour, Banyan drops Powerline zone assays
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 […]

A rundown of the companies comprising the Highballer shortlist

I launched Highballerstocks on January 15, 2020, to take advantage of what I believed was the beginning of an epic […]
