Crescat Capital portfolio manager Tavi Costa reveals the fund’s approach to junior mining speculation, including the #1 thing they look for even more than management’s experience and qualifications. Tavi shared regarding the current opportunity for junior mining speculators: “the beauty of now though, with valuations where they are, is that you are able to find a company with already a discovery hole trading sub-$20mm market cap which is unusual”….“the market is giving us a gift right now to put money to work in things that we believe are, probabilistically-speaking, onto something very interesting.”
