Companies on our shortlist pushing their flagships further along the curve – Defense (DEFN.V), Harfang (HAR.V), Minnova (MCI.V), Prime (PRYM.V) Skeena (SKE.T), and Strategic (SMD.V)

It seems we’ve entered yet another rout in the metals and mining stocks with several of the companies we follow closely getting sold off, testing their recent lows. It’s frustrating. One would think that with events over the past two weeks, gold would be ripping higher, tagging all-time historical highs. There’s been a lot of […]

The 1850 front line – updating Cartier (ECR.V), Forum (FMC.V), Pure Gold (PGM.V), Skeena (SKE.T), Harfang (HAR.V), and HighGold (HIGH.V)

$1,850 (blue line, chart below) is turning into a front line in the brawl between gold bulls and bears. After breaking through this key support level last week, the snap-back from the $1,767 low, anchored by a surfeit of compelling fundamentals, coincided with the U.S Dollar printing 2.5 year lows. Short term, the market is […]

Gold gets slammed, bargains emerge – HighGold (HIGH.V), Forum (FMC.V), Strategic (SMD.V), Kuya (KUYA.C), Nomad (NSR.T), and Skeena (SKE.T)

Gold is currently testing support at $1,800 (lower blue line) after crashing through support at $1,850. Current prices represent multi-month lows. If $1,800 doesn’t hold (that’s where the 200 SMA is at), $1,750 might be in the cards. Of course, this sudden price weakness might be a big-ass Bear Trap. If so, the metal should […]

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 […]

Cos on the Highballer shortlist pushing their flagship assets further along the curve – Harfang (HAR.V), Skeena (SKE.T), White Gold (WGO.V), and Minnova (MCI.V)

Several companies on the Highballer shortlist have been generating significant assay-related newsflow over the past week or so. Let’s get right to it. First, I should mention that I continue scouring the junior ExploreCo landscape for companies with the right combination of assets, jurisdiction, and of course…management. But it’s not an easy task—I’m not a […]

The Highballer shortlist generated a fair number of headlines last week. There’ll be no preamble today. Let’s get right to it. Banyan Gold (BYN.V) 134.24 million shares outstanding $34.23M market cap based on its recent close at $0.255 Between its two Yukon based projects—AurMac and Hyland—the company holds over 1.4 million ounces in the Indicated […]

Cashed up and moving forward – Forum (FMC.V), PureGold (PGM.V), Skeena (SKE.V), and Strategic (SMD.V)

I’m getting a sense that most of the companies we follow here are determined to make up for whatever time was lost during the C-19 shutdown, prepping field crews and mobilizing drill rigs to their flagship projects, if they haven’t done so already. A number of companies on our shortlist are already active. Two—Cartier Resources […]

Companies on our shortlist in the news – Defense (DEFN.V), HighGold (HIGH.V), and Skeena (SKE.V)

Even though virus-related shutdowns have hindered the pace of mineral exploration in recent weeks—some regions more than others—progress is still being made on multiple fronts. Creating shareholder value is the primary objective of the companies we follow here at Highballerstocks… virus be damned. Three of the companies on our shortlist dropped headlines last week. Two […]
