Ashley Gold (ASHL.C) CEO is tired of waiting around, wants drills in the ground

Conventional wisdom in the junior mining world is, if your stock price isn’t ramping up, and the market isn’t giving love to anyone, the one thing to do in a hurry is wait. Just.. wait. Pay yourself of course, because you’re not a charity. And maybe put out a news release about some conference you’re…

Marvel Discoveries (MARV.V) pounding out properties in multi-metal tsunami

I remember the day Karim Rayani called me up and said, “I’ve got a plan for Marvel Resources (MARV.V) and I said, “Cool, okay, I guess,” and he got a bit annoyed at me. I wasn’t taking him seriously because Marvel was tiny and there’s a lot of tiny mining explorers and as much as…

The Core Story: West High Yield Resources (WHY.V) has taken 20 years to be next in line

Part of what makes investing in mining explorers interesting is, you never know when your horse is running. You can trot down to fraser Downs and place a bet on a horse and, when the gates open, it’ll be off and running. Win or lose, at least you know there’s going to be a result.…

Ashley Gold (ASHL.C) storms up 41.2% as CEO literally lifts rocks

When people saw Ashley Gold (ASHL.C) was a $0.065 stock a few days ago, they may have ignored it as just another little gold explorer at a time when gold explorers are largely unloved. We wrote about it because we liked the guys behind it, and their plans to work it when everyone else in…

Why I bought it: Ashley Gold (ASHL.C)

This past month I participated in a financing for a gold exploration company called Ashley Gold (ASHL.C). You may be wondering why, at a time when gold explorers are throwing nooses over the rafters and writing ‘goodbye cruel world’ notes, I would commit to leaving my cash in a four-month hold on one of them,…

Emerita Resources (EMO.V) begins to climb as the dust settles on big financing

If there are two things that are predictable in mining exploration, it’s that a rollback will bring a short term stock price drop (it shouldn’t, but it does), and that an under-priced financing will see the stock price fall to the financing price. The reason for that second one is simple.. if the stock is…

Brascan Resources Inc (BRAS.C), a small mining exploration company, has a 25% stake in The Iceberg Project, located 10 kilometers east of La Scie in Newfoundland Canada. Why do you care?

Tempus Resources has all the pieces needed to put together a top flight gold project

There are two kinds of mining guys in the public markets – the market-friendly corporate guy, who can raise money, navigate a boardroom, and put out a nice news release, and the dusty booted technical mining guys who know where to stick the drill, don’t mind camping out under the stars, and look downwards as…

Backing Frank: West High Yield Resources (WHY.V) is the legacy of a 45-year entrepreneurial career

When the phone rings and I’m writing, I’ll almost never answer it. My mother knows, and is constantly frustrated, by this. If I’m writing, researching, storytelling, conjuring humour, figuring out marketing strategies, the last thing I need is one of my sales guys using me as Google. There are two exceptions to this rule; Chinese…
