Junior Resource Lottery Tickets Move Higher with ResultsBob Moriarty Charles Hugh Smith released an important piece a couple of days ago using a term I haven’t heard lately. He calls the Epstein saga a watershed moment. I wish I had used it first; it is so perfect for today. The Trump organization proved that the Republicans could be as deceitful and corrupt as the Democrats under the Biden and Obama cartels. All three administrations had the thousands of Epstein documents and video recordings under their control yet refused to release what would have shown hundreds of underage sexual victims but not a single person charged with a crime. Trump calls the person who used to be one of his best friend’s part of a hoax. There is nothing to see here. Any American who still believes in the goodness of their rulers is a fool. They are all corrupt liars. Resources are in a bull market. Gold, silver and platinum have shot higher. From a seasonal point of view, gold enters its best performance time frame in early August, silver a month later. We are in the midst of what appears to be a sideways correction. That would be perfectly normal and appropriate after the rapid advances in silver, platinum and gold. Remember, the opera ain’t over until the fat lady sings. The major gold companies have advanced as leader in the parade, then the mid-tiers and lately the junior resource companies are starting to show signs of life. I’ve been busy with family and guests for the last two weeks. I’m way behind in writing about companies I follow and own so I’m going to cover a number of good juniors that I really like. At this stage of the market there are literally hundreds of underpriced juniors actually doing things that will make a difference. The resource bull market is just starting. When it peaks I will do my best to tell my readers but for now it is full speed ahead. Even if the general market crashes and the cliptocurrencies return to their true value, any decline in the metals or the resource lottery tickets is temporary. Golden Cross (AUX-V ZCRMF-OTCQB) had a magnificent June with the stock up 120% from $.33 at the start of the month to a high of $.72 three weeks later. Alas, nothing goes straight up, only straight down now and again. Golden Cross has since corrected to $.42 before starting a rebound. Investors were selling shares in the open market just to participate in the $.45 private placement. Soon to be delivered assays should change the picture entirely. Golden Cross seems to have an identical deposit to that of Southern Cross that shot higher from $.30 a couple of years ago to $7.20. Golden Cross is in the midst of a 6,000-meter drill program with assay results due out shortly. Golden Cross is located in one of the most prolific gold belts of Victoria, Australia. Prior drilling revealed assays as high as 11 meters of 31.4 grams per tonne gold and 2 meters of 174.42 g/t Au. The high-grade gold is located in sheeted quartz gold veins resembling the rungs of a ladder between forty and one hundred forty meters apart. Early operators assumed the hanging wall and foot wall surrounding the ultra-high grade quartz veins was devoid of gold and never sampled. Southern Cross proved that theory incorrect. Their assays showed between 0.3 to 0.5 g/t Au. That is a partial reason for their exceptional assay results. Golden Creek is re-assaying all existing core to test the areas between the high-grade quartz veins. Golden Cross is an advertiser. I have participated in the last PP at $.15 with no warrant and bought shares in the open market. Golden Cross has Southern Cross potential as well as Snowline. Do your own due diligence. Harvest Gold Corporation has been a subject of interviews I have done over the past three months with Ahead of the Herd. The shares were $.03 in April giving the company a market cap of under three million when I started picking up shares and talking about it simply because it was so cheap yet holding a first class project. Bringing attention to the dying shares shot the share price up to $.14 before beginning a natural correction. The company did a private placement with the four-month hold expiring on August 18th so look for weakness up to that date as investors sell shares to hold onto warrants. In any case, the company is now cashed up and ready to drill a 5,000 meter phase one program at their flagship Mosseau gold project in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, Quebec starting in early August. Look for assays to begin flowing in late September to October. Harvest Gold is an advertiser. I have participated in the last PP at $.025 and bought shares in the open market. Do your own due diligence. The next company is interesting, Toogood Gold Corporation (TGC-V) now drilling a 2,000-meter drill program in their 2022 Quinlan gold discovery in NE Newfoundland on the same trend as Newfound Gold. Toogood Gold just completed a $4.5 million private placement in order to drill their high grade Quinlan property. The drill program is designed to follow up on a 2022 program from a prior operator that found visible gold in fifteen out of nineteen holes drilled. The drill program is one of the most unusual programs I have ever seen. Gold mineralization extends right to surface so the average of planned holes is only fifty-three meters. While a 2,000 meter doesn’t sound like very much, it will allow for forty to forty-five holes. 2022 assay results from Quinlan included 3.65 meters of 23.9 g/t gold from 4.75 meters depth, 4.25 meters of 18.27 g/t Au from 41.25 meters and 3.18 meters of 9.4 g/t Qu from 9.4 meters deep. Those are exceptional results and suggest the ongoing drill program has home run potential across the district scale property. Toogood Gold is a new company having just completed an RTO a month ago. Shares are tightly held and hard to buy. The company needs to set up an OTCQB listing and make it easier for investors to buy from the US but the company is in for an interesting ride should they be able to duplicate 2022 drill results. With a market cap in the $20 million range, I view the shares as especially cheap. Toogood Gold is an advertiser. I have participated in the last PP at $.10. Do your own due diligence. Silver North Resources (SNAG-V TARSF-OTCQB) is in the process of completing a $2.1 million private placement intending to drill a ten hole 2,500 meter program at the company’s Haldane silver project located in the Keno Hill silver district near the mining operations of Hecla Silver. Drilling will begin around August 15th, look for assays to be released in the late September to October time frame. Last year’s drill program at Haldane in the Yukon found a new zone at what they call the Main Fault. Hole 29 gave results of 3.05 meters of 460 g/t Ag, hole 30 showed 1.83 meters and 1,088 g/t silver and an additional 3.03 meters of 423 g/t silver also in hole 30. It’s just one more example of an absurdly low-priced stock getting cashed up and preparing to generate results. Silver is going to be hot this year and Silver North is going to get popular. Silver North is an advertiser and I have participated in a private placement so I am biased, do your own due diligence. The next company is named Bathurst Metals (BMV-V BMVVF-OTCQB) and is a perfect example of what I have been pounding the drum about. The company has four excellent projects yet has been totally quiet with the downturn in the market. There is nothing wrong with the company that would justify the $3.5 million total market cap. The only issue is a lack of news and a lack of forward progress. That just changed. The company is finishing a $500,000 private placement at $.075 and plans a 2,000 meter drill program starting in four to five weeks at their Peerless gold-silver project located in the Gold Bridge Mining Camp in southern BC, Canada. Once the assays come in from the phase 1 drill program Bathurst plans a follow-up program. If you will buy companies when they are cheap and sell them when they are dear, you will make money. I have participated in the $.075 private placement and the company is an advertiser. Do your own due diligence. Greg Johnson, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Metallic Minerals (MMG-V MMNGF-OTCQB) was a co-founder of NovaGold. We go back almost twenty-five years together. NovaGold was the subject of one of the first articles I ever wrote after starting 321gold.com. You should read the piece; it was pretty accurate and right at the very bottom of the gold market. A lot of water has passed under the bridge since. Metallic Minerals is in the midst of a $5 million private placement that I am participating in. The company has a broad range of properties including a copper, gold and silver project in Colorado. President Trump has indicated the US must go back to mining as a means of creating wealth. With copper at a record high price, MMG’s La Plata project with a 43-101 resource of 147 million tonnes of 0.41% Cu Eq fits the bill perfectly. Since silver is hot right now and predicted by many to hit a new record high price soon, Metallic’s Keno Hill silver project in the Yukon is timely. Metallic’s 171 square km land position right next to Hecla’s silver mining projects is 100% owned and reports a 43-101 resource of 18.2 million ounces of silver equivalent at a grade of 223 g/t Ag Eq along with eight historic silver mines with five that produced silver with a production grade of over 5,000 g/t silver. The $5 million will bring Metallic back into the fold with drill results from La Plata and serious exploration at the Keno Hill property. With a total market cap in the $42 million range and the experience of a winner of multiple industry awards, I can assure you that Metallic is cheap and will be moving higher. The US government is starting to invest in resource companies and both commodities, copper and silver are in short supply. Metallic Minerals is an advertiser. I have participated in their latest private placement so I am biased. Do your own due diligence.
