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.

An eventful week for the Highballer (shortlist) portfolio – Cartier, HighGold, Pure Gold, Skeena, and Strategic
