Metal prices both precious and base have been pretty dismal the past few years. Aside from palladium going to the moon price wise in the precious metal side, the only other metal that has had any shine is copper. This is mainly due to the fact that there could very well be a massive shortage of copper in years to come. This shortage is mainly derived from countries around the world that are going...Read More
Well if there ever was year to be happy about seeing coming to an end in regards to junior mining stocks, 2018 would that year. In all the years I've been following the juniors I have never seen such a dismal year. It didn't even matter what the commodity was the companies were after, the investor interest just wasn't there and it showed. All you have to do is look at virtually any mining stock ch...Read More
There is an old saying in the gold and precious metal trading circles that say's "Sell in Mayand go away". If ever that saying rang true it was this year as we saw gold and silver sell off to two year lows starting back in June. This in turn has made the entire mining stock sector a pretty ugly place to be if your hoping to make a few bucks. Just how bad is it? Well in September the GDXJ hit it's...Read More
Most of us gold and metal buffs tend to follow the precious metal scene and aside from taking a glance a copper once in a while we seem to ignore what's going on with the base metals. For the past year a lot of analysts have been following cobalt and lithium but at the same time nickel has almost doubled and very few had even noticed. If you have a junior mining stock that has exposure to nickel y...Read More
It's hard to be a gold bug or grass roots mining stock buff and not have an interest in buried treasures or lost gold mines. I think that is what makes prospecting exciting. In a lot of cases it's not the treasure that you hope find but all the excitement that goes into the actual searching for the treasure. I tend to think that with the true prospector it's more the adventure than it is the rewar...Read More
Welcome to 2018. Some analysts are saying that this year is the year for gold. But there are a few other market watchers who are saying forget gold and watch silver, or better yet, buy silver. Be it physical bullion, silver ETF's or silver mining stocks. There are guys out there who are touting we will see $400+ silver price this year. I know it sounds far fetched and even though I think that a $4...Read More
Seems we live in a totally fake world now. Ever since Trump's tag line, "fake news," everything is turning up fake.

When it comes to investing in a junior mining company the one you thing can almost always be certain of is "uncertainty."

Those uncertainties and risks can range from everything from government politics to commodity prices and everything in between. From raising money to how that money is going to...Read More
I've been reading bits of articles lately about a coming shortage of cobalt. Now I don't really know a whole lot about cobalt other than it's mined so I decided to to do a bit of investigating. There are a few things that I found out about doing some quick research and one is that cobalt mining shouldn't be protested about by enviromentalists. Another important issue that I've discovered is that t...Read More
