“Despite the strong gold price environment we are in, a lot of juniors in the gold space are still really struggling…to raise money. That to me shows we are not in a crazy bull market. A crazy bull market is moose pasture in the middle of nowhere being able to raise thirty million dollars at a drop of a hat. To me that is the sell signal…we have not yet seen the generalist into this sector,” shared Dr. Adshead-Bell. She also provided commentary on the best practices for investing in the junior gold mining sector.

Nicole Adshead-Bell is the Director of Cupel Advisory. She is a PhD geologist by trade and has worked in the resource sector for more than 24 years. Her roles within the sector have varied from analyst to M&A facilitator to junior resource company board member.

“Oil looks even more attractive than gold right now” says portfolio manager Tavi Costa of Crescat Capital. Tavi Costa shares that even though he expects gold over $2900/oz and silver touching over $40/oz before year-end 2024, he is even more bullish oil and possibly other non-precious metals. A year from now, Tavi sees inflation running significantly higher while the Federal Reserve refuses to rate interest rates. When this happens, metals and commodity prices will run higher, he anticipates. Tavi also reveals Crescat’s approach to portfolio allocation in the mining sector.

Tavi is a Member and Portfolio Manager at Crescat Capital and has been with the firm since 2013. He is responsible for developing Crescat’s macro models as part of our thematic investment process. His research has been featured in financial publications such as Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, Reuters, Yahoo Finance, Real Vision, and others. Tavi is a native of São Paulo, Brazil and is fluent in Portuguese, Spanish, and English. Before joining Crescat, he worked with the underwriting of financial products and in international business at Braservice, a large logistics company in Brazil. Tavi graduated cum laude from Lindenwood University in St. Louis with a B.A. degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Finance and a minor in Spanish. Tavi played NCAA Division 1 tennis for Liberty University.

“Smart money is seeing the opportunity in these silver stocks, because silver has a lot of catching up to do with the gold price and because there is really not a lot of quality silver juniors out there,” says David Erfle. In this MSE episode, David Erfle also provides commentary on the gold price, the broader junior mining sector and how he is managing his portfolio.

David Erfle is a self-taught mining sector investor. He stumbled upon the mining space in 2003 as he was looking to invest into a growing sector of the market. After researching the gains made from the 2001 bottom in the tiny gold and silver complex, he became fascinated with this niche market. So much so that in 2005 he decided to sell his home and invest the entire proceeds from the sale into junior mining companies. When his account had tripled by September, 2007, he decided to quit his job as the Telecommunications Equipment Buyer at UCLA and make investing in this sector his full-time job. David founded the Junior Miner Junky subscription-based newsletter in April, 2017 and writes a weekly column for precious metals news service Kitco.com, whose website attracts nearly a million visits every day.

Tim Kingsley, Coppernico Metals’ Vice President of Exploration, commented, “We are very encouraged by the geological features we are intersecting. The pace at which our team is gaining geological insights through drilling has been impressive, each hole is improving our model and allowing us to have greater confidence in our interpretations of geophysical signatures. The Ccascabamba Area represents a large, very active hydrothermal system, and the extent of skarn alteration and the presence of sulphide minerals in hole 4 support our exploration thesis. This, combined with the complexity of the vein systems, indicates that we are in a highly prospective zone. As we move forward, we remain committed to deploying best practices in exploration, ensuring that we meet our environmental and social responsibilities.”

CEO Ivan Bebek and VP of Exploration Tim Kingsley provide an update on the Sombrero exploration program. The company is currently on hole 6 of a 30-hole planned program.

Coppernico Metals is an exploration company focused on creating value for shareholders and stakeholders through the exploration and discovery of world-class copper-gold deposits in South America. The Company’s management and technical teams have a successful track record in raising capital, discovery and monetization of exploration successes. The Company is currently focused on the Sombrero project in Peru. Coppernico Metals is listed on the TSX under the ticker “COPR”. In this interview, Ivan Bebek, President and CEO, provides an update on the company’s progress and plans.

David Erfle stated: “We’ve had the SILJ now showing relative strength to the GDXJ. GDXJ is showing relative strength to the GDX. And the miners and silver are showing relative strength to the gold price. So that is what you need to see happening; and it started to happen this week as the Fed is ready to reverse its monetary policy, which is huge.”

In this MSE episode, David Erfle also provides commentary on the gold price and the broader junior mining sector. He also shared his firsthand observations from last week’s Beaver Creek Precious Metals Summit where industry investors and issuers gathered together.

“We continue to make great progress at Opinaca. These results from our first ever gold-focused exploration program on the project have narrowed down our search for gold considerably on this 85,000ha property”, commented Targa CEO, Cameron Tymstra. “A gold till anomaly approximately 7km x 5km in size has been identified down-ice from an east-west lineament, which has been interpreted from regional magnetic gradient data and topographic features. This was previously identified as an area of interest and with this new data has now evolved into our prime target at Opinaca. All the HMC samples containing notable gold grain counts in the area occur along or just down-ice from this 7km-long target, further supporting the trend. Pristine gold grains make up 25-50% of the grains counted in many of these samples, suggesting a short transport distance. Our team is excited to be heading back to Opinaca in just a few weeks to further refine the target and plan for a future drill program. With at least 7km of strike length of overlapping gold in fine fraction till and gold grains in HMC sampling, our team believes this trend offers a lot of opportunity and potential for future gold discovery.”

Targa’s Opinaca project in in the James Bay region of Quebec saw a 5km x 4km gold-in-till anomaly discovered in late 2023. Targa acquired 100% ownership of the Opinaca Project from Kenorland Minerals in December 2022. As experts at gold-in-till anomalies, Kenorland remains the operator of the project to the benefit of Targa shareholders. The June 2024 exploration program has concluded and the company is planning to commence a Sept 2024 work program shortly.

“The Stars Are Lining Up for Junior Gold Stocks” says Pro Investor David Erfle in this MSE episode. He points out that gold is now beating inflation causing the producer’s margins to expand. David explains that the gold-silver ratio needs to trend below 80 and gold stocks and gold price need to decouple from the stock market in order for the junior gold stocks to begin to rise. He also shares why seven out of ten of his investments will probably fail in this risky sector.
