The Golden Triangle – an update on a handful of advanced-stage exploration plays
Junior exploration companies—ExplorerCos, if you will—are high-risk propositions. It can take up to 1,000 grassroots projects to generate 100 targets worthy of a probe with the drill bit. Of those, perhaps five or ten will evolve into development projects. And of that small group, only one will become an actual (profitable) mine. Not great odds.…

16 million U.S. workers will die before their debts are paid off
We’ve been hearing about the “global debt crisis” for so long it’s become background noise – like a sherry-soaked auntie babbling about UFOs at Thanksgiving. But if a building has been burning slowly for a long time, it’s legitimate to point out that smoke is still billowing – and there is no fire-truck in sight.…

CopperBank (CBK.C): a beautiful copper-mine canary jerks back to life
Something dramatic just happened in the copper markets. It’s worth noting because the funds making these copper bets have teams of geologists and economists on staff. According to the most recent Commitments of Traders Report, three months ago there were about 74,000 collective short copper positions (betting that the price of copper will go down).…

Rare Earth Elements (REEs), Trump, Beijing, Defense Metals (DEFN.V), and a strategic deposit that appears to have it all
I can think of at least a half a dozen reasons why companies like Defense Metals (DEFN.V) deserve more than a cursory once-over, and a shot at your sidelined cash. Investing, speculating in particular, is all about timing. If you scored big in the cannabis arena over the past few years, your success probably had…

The Green Revolution – a handful of undervalued Green Metal ExplorerCos for your consideration (CBK.C, DEFN.V, CEY.V, ROCK.V)
The Green Movement, a push that is gaining momentum around the globe spurred by zero-carbon climate warriors like Greta Thunberg, is all about meeting power demands through clean, renewable, and zero-emission energy sources. It would appear The Economist is onboard with the concept… Ironically, meeting these green objectives will NOT be possible without an exponential…

A handful of ExplorerCo standouts in Nevada—the mother of all mining jurisdictions
A couple weeks back we took a look at some of the more prospective (and active) exploration plays in Ontario and Quebec, particularly those along the prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt. Today we shift our focus further to the south, to Nevada. If Nevada were a country, it would be the 4th largest gold producing nation…

Azincourt Energy (AAZ.V) – Athabasca Basin phase two drilling on deck
If pressed, if forced to name names and cough-up a list of some of the better values I see in the junior exploration arena, Azincourt Energy (AAZ.V) would be a no-brainer Top-Five pick. The sentiment for uranium ExplorerCos isn’t exactly percolating at this juncture in what has been a grueling multi-year bear market, but this…
