Some times the best buys are at the times when you have to hold your nose.
Market volatility has increased this October with rising US rates and a crashing Global currency crisis. Gold should come back into favor as stocks continue into bear market territory. The Fed may start to scale back on interest rates if stocks continue to crater. This could turn real rates negative and push capital into precious metals and the junior miners which have already been in a 10 year bear market.
The rotation from stocks and bonds into commodities hasn’t even really gotten started yet. Nobody is looking at the juniors and there isn’t much research coverage now as investors rely on blogs and social media forums to get good information these days.
Despite this horrible bear market in junior miners that has been ongoing for several years. This month we saw a major discovery hole come out of BC with Mark O’Dea’s Sunmetals $SUNM.V drilling the best intercept ever hit at the property in North Central British Columbia and possible the best drill result in Canada in 2018. They hit over 100 meters of 5% copper equivalent. That is spectacular! Lots more hopefully to come this year.
The excellent management and technical team thinks they are in the guts of the high grade system and there are lots of assays pending. I take these guys seriously as we made a lot of money with them on Fronteer’s Long Canyon discovery which was acquired by Newmont for over $2 billion at the height of the last bull cycle in junior miners.
Sunmetals has optioned the property from Lorraine Copper $LLC.V $LRCPF. I own both but Lorraine may be another way to play this discovery. Remember there may be more than a dozen holes still not released yet. Could be a long way to run here?
Listen to my interview with Bill Morton CEO of Lorraine Copper $LLC.V $LRCPF who made the deal with Sunmetals to make this great new discovery in BC. Bill was early on this property and this is some of the best results in Canada this year. Bill has held positions with companies such as Giant Mascot, Sumitomo and Imperial Metals.
