In this month’s Junior Mining Insights discussion, Bill Powers and Brian Leni recap the past month in junior mining with a North American focus after attending Vancouver’s Metals Investor Forum and PDAC in Toronto. They evaluate Canadian government initiatives and grants around critical minerals and processing capacity, with Brian expressing skepticism but acknowledging speculative implications when support validates strong projects. Bill shares lessons from high-net-worth investors and explains the three types of junior mining “ghosts” that spook your equities. The duo further discusses investor psychology, volatility management, due diligence, management vision, and caution around the growing trend of bulk sampling.
