| WEAK BUY | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Gold prices. Reasonable probability of gold reaching $2000 in the spring of 2010 but doesn't like putting hard targets on specific dates because market isn't totally free. Feels it will hit $1300-$1400 by late spring. Important to focus on the trend, which has been up for 9 years. Ignore corrections and use them as an opportunity to add to your goal positions. | 2010-01-12 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Gold/Silver ratio. Very bullish on Silver. Ratio in the neighbourhood of 60 to 1 but historically has been in a range from a low of 15 to 1 to 100 to 1. Expects the ratio to fall significantly when this bull market starts to pick up speed and he expects silver to go up dramatically. | 2010-01-12 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Gold stocks or gold ETF? Not a great fan of gold ETF's. He can’t be convinced they are backed with the amount of gold they say they are. Also, the people that have been sponsoring them are the same ones that have been involved with the gold suppression scheme for 15 years. | 2010-01-12 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Does a gold price lead to more M&A activity? He feels it should, especially in a larger gold company. | 2010-01-12 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Major gold strikes. Expects that most of the major new discoveries will occur in places you would not want to spend a holiday. | 2010-01-12 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Small-cap, mid-cap or large-cap gold? Gold stocks have under performed and are relatively cheap to the gold price. A sharp move up in gold prices will restore the confidence and there will be a massive catch-up mood in the stocks. Biggest moves will come in the mid-cap to the smaller vehicles but you should have a mix and you will do exceptionally well in the next few years. | 2010-01-12 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | China. Chinese are past masters at manipulating markets/bullion, etc. No question that they want to add a lot of gold in the forthcoming years in order to hold the largest backing of their currency globally. They will go to great lengths to talk the gold price down. | 2010-01-12 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Will gold ever decouple from the US$ and what would be the signals? Next big decline in the US$ will have gold going up. Can see other countries not wanting their currencies to fall sharply against the US$ for competitive reasons. At that point the market will make the judgment that the currencies are terrible and will want gold for its self. | 2010-01-12 | ||
| TOP PICK | Silver Wheaton | SLW-T | 17.910 | Has the right formula for succeeding in the silver market because they buy streams of silver production and control their costs. Pay a lot up front but had a guarantee of a certain cost level. | 2010-01-12 | ||
| TOP PICK | Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. | WDO-T | 2.590 | 2 mines in production in Ontario and Quebec and makes very good money. Pays a dividend and has a market cap of about $250 million that is in line with half of the companies that he doesn't think will ever be in production. Has confidence in the new management. | 2010-01-12 | ||
| TOP PICK | Alexco Resource Corp. | AXR-T | 3.890 | Trying to redevelop the old United Keno Hill mine. Good management. Real good silver speculation. | 2010-01-12 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Barrick Gold | ABX-T | 37.150 | Not a great fan of this company, primarily because of its outside hedge position. Feels this will be a considerable liability to them. Their mines are running out and will have to be replaced by lesser mines. | 2008-08-28 | ||
| Comment | Aurizon Mines | ARZ-T | 3.260 | The only gold stocks that held up really well are those that are in prominent indexes. Smaller gold stocks are in gold funds and are under pressure for reasons that have nothing to do with the underlying operations of the company. | 2008-08-28 | ||
| BUY | Goldcorp Inc | G-T | 36.140 | This has become the “go to” gold stock in the world. | 2008-08-28 | ||
| BUY | Hecla Mining Co | HL-N | 7.200 | Silver. Good management. Has gotten out of their Venezuelan gold exposure and are really focused on silver. Looking particularly interesting at this point. | 2008-08-28 | ||
| Comment | Kinross Gold | K-T | 17.760 | The acquisition of Aurelian Resources (ARU-T) is a brilliant move. Aurelian is easily the best find in the last 10 years. Stock is very depressed because of the Ecuadorian politics. The issue he has with Kinross is a key asset in Russia as Russia makes him uncomfortable. | 2008-08-28 | ||
| BUY | Pan American Silver | PAA-T | 28.340 | This is one of the “go to” stocks. It's always expensive because it is a “go to” stock. It has wonderful sponsorship. If the silver price does what he believes it will do this one will participate on the upside. | 2008-08-28 | ||
| HOLD | Yamana Gold Inc. | YRI-T | 11.460 | A “go to” gold stock. This will be one of the major beneficiaries of an increase in gold prices. | 2008-08-28 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Inflation Hedge: Gold bullion, gold fund or gold stocks? The core of anybody's exposure in gold should be gold bullion. If you are going to get into smaller gold companies, you should be in a fund. Larger gold stocks are somewhat efficient so you should have a balanced portfolio. | 2008-08-28 | ||

| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Gold/Oil Correlation: Historically an ounce of gold was worth about 15-17 barrels of oil. That has changed with the high price of oil and the holding back of gold. Not terribly concerned about demand destruction of oil and the oil price drops. If oil goes back up there will be more printing of money and people will be going to gold as a refuge. Eventually we will head back to the relationship of 15 to 1. | 2008-08-28 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Gold or Silver: Gold has always been acknowledged as real money while silver is called poor man's gold. In the long run, gold is the safer one to be in because of the huge industrial component to silver. However, he feels silver is more under priced than gold and in 2 to 3 years the percentage gain in silver will be better. | 2008-08-28 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Junior Golds and Base Metal Markets: This sector has been a dreadful experience. There have been a lot of factors contributing to it, not the least of which has been naked shorting issues. Needs a significant breakout to new highs in gold and silver prices over what was there earlier this year. This will start to refocus the interest in the sector. Also need a less attractive environment for other financial assets. | 2008-08-28 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Derivatives: How have these affected the prices of precious metals? One of the ploys being used by the anti-gold cartels is the use of a lot of derivatives. There is $1 trillion in gold derivatives, which is preposterous. | 2008-08-28 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | US$ and Gold: Thinks the recent strength in the US$ is more weakness in the euro because of all the news coming out of Europe that is sort of devastating economically while the Americans are really fudging their numbers. All currencies are under pressure. When the real gold bull market gets going it will be against all currencies. | 2008-08-28 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Will gold companies grow through mergers and acquisitions rather than exploration? 75 million ounces of gold is dug annually but they are not finding anywhere close to 25 million on a reserve basis. Life index of the gold is shrinking. This shortage will also support much higher prices. | 2008-08-28 | ||
| BUY | New Gold Inc. | NGD-T | 5.350 | Good merger with Peak Gold and Metallica. Pretty good package of assets. This will be one of the “go to” stocks as we go forward in the cycle. Has been a victim of forced sales, nothing to do with the underlying fundamentals of the company. Tremendous buying opportunity. | 2008-08-28 | ||
| Comment | Detour Gold | DGC-T | 13.500 | Large, low-grade deposit in Ontario. Has been one of the more spectacular performers. Stock probably got a little ahead of itself. Doesn't feel they have any intention of taking this to full production so it could be a takeout. | 2008-08-28 | ||
| BUY | Axmin Inc | AXM-X | 0.940 | A real quality junior. Probably has the best exploration team working in Africa. Have a history of successes. Have good backing and will never want for money. | 2008-01-09 | ||
| BUY | Eldorado Gold | ELD-T | 6.640 | The problem in Turkey is being solved. Likes the CEO. He has done something interesting by being one of the first people to move into China. This is a first-class gold company. | 2008-01-09 | ||
| HOLD | Rubicon Minerals Corporation | RMX-T | 1.280 | Got overvalued, but came back a long way. He likes it because it is in Red Lake. Have a nice spread of properties. Good management. | 2008-01-09 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Junior Golds - Thinks we are relatively early in the big picture of gold. Past year had a disconnect. Price of gold went up 31% and yet the juniors as a whole did very poorly. There were speculative opportunities away from gold that attracted more attention. Believes the gold price will hit $1000 and will have a salutary effect on the juniors. | 2008-01-09 | ||
| TOP PICK | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Top Picks: He has decided not to do Top Picks. This would have people rifle shooting Junior Gold stocks. Unless you have a lot of money that you can have good diversification, there is a risk by buying only one or two stocks. A lot of them are slick promotions and don't really have a lot going for them. | 2008-01-09 | ||
| BUY | Bear Creek Mining | BCM-X | 7.500 | When the price of silver starts doing what he thinks is inevitable ($30 in the near term), it will be a takeover at a lot higher price than it is now. | 2008-01-09 | ||
| BUY | Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. | WDO-T | 1.650 | Has gone through trials and tribulations, but a lot of it is related to the Cdn$ as well as some mining issues in both their mines. Things are now stabilizing. Have had some good exploration success at Eagle River. | 2008-01-09 | ||
| Comment | Western Gold Fields | WGI-T | 3.830 | Not a high-grade operation, but it is substantial. He worries about open pit operations that are not particularly high grade. The greatest cost in an open pit operation is energy and it's the gold is not high-grade; you may not make much money. | 2008-01-09 | ||
| BUY | Melkior Resources Inc. | MKR-X | 0.360 | Very interesting speculative situation. Original drilling was reasonably promising. They have the money to continue. | 2008-01-09 | ||
| Comment | Noront Resources Ltd. | NOT-X | 3.720 | This one is tricky. The grades that they have drilled are really impressive, however it is more like a pencil and may not have enough area. He thinks it's okay, but a speculation. | 2008-01-09 | ||
| Comment | Abacus Mining & Exploration Corp. | AME-X | 0.365 | They were abutting New Gold’s (NGD-T) Ashton project. They have an interesting exploration play and have sold some rights to New Gold. A speculative situation. | 2008-01-09 | ||
| BUY | Sprott Resource Corp. | SCP-T | 1.890 | Will be investing to lever situations in good commodity plays. Stock got ahead of itself and pulled way back and is very cheap now. | 2008-01-09 | ||
|
| |||||||

| BUY | Aurelian Resources Inc | ARU-T (Dead) | 30.840 | Recent drilling results were spectacular. A massive ore body. Expect there will be a resource estimate before the year is out. Not concerned about the Ecuadorian aspect. | 2007-04-03 | ||
| BUY | Goldcorp Inc | G-T | 29.260 | This is a good vehicle for the next big uplift in gold. Good price. | 2007-04-03 | ||
| BUY | Metallica Resources | MR-T | 5.910 | Just announced a high-grade copper find in Mexico. Big copper project in Chile. Terrific company. | 2007-04-03 | ||
| BUY | Southwestern Resources | SWG-T | 8.000 | Has acted extraordinarily poorly and he doesn't know why. Perhaps management doesn't project well. Thinks they have 5 million oz. in China, which could be proven in a feasibility study in the near future. Very cheap. Buy as a value play. | 2007-04-03 | ||
| BUY | Pelangio Mines Inc | PLG-T | 1.250 | Have some very good connections in Ghana, which is the best destination on the planet for gold. Also has a project at Detour Lake. A very interesting junior. | 2007-04-03 | ||
| TOP PICK | Minco Mining & Metals Corp | MMM-T | 1.860 | Controls Minco Silver (MSV-T) and will be spinning out its base metals. Well cashed up. If you take away the silver and cash, it is trading at next to nothing. | 2007-04-03 | ||
| BUY | Lake Shore Gold | LSG-T | 2.150 | Have a great gold project in west Timmins. Bought a nearby mill. This will be going into production. You'll have to be patient, but as gold prices rise, this will be one to own. | 2007-04-03 | ||
| HOLD | Red Back Mining Inc | RBI-T (Dead) | 5.000 | In the Lundin (LUN-T) stable and they are red-hot in mining. Thinks this will become the consolidator in West Africa. | 2007-04-03 | ||
| STRONG BUY | Temex Resources Corp. | TME-X | 0.405 | Is intrigued by the silver property they have. Extremely cheap. | 2007-04-03 | ||
| TOP PICK | African Gold Group Inc. | AGG-X | 1.720 | Very strong management. Initial drilling in Mali is very promising. Stock was crushed, but there has been no deterioration in the company. Extremely cheap. | 2007-04-03 | ||
| BUY | Silver Wheaton | SLW-T | 11.230 | Has been a laggard. May be a bit of a fallout from Goldcorp’s (G-T) problems. A bit undervalued compared to its peers. | 2007-04-03 | ||
| TOP PICK | Keegan Resources | KGN-T | 4.780 | 2 gold projects in Ghana. Just came out with good drill results on one. Not many shares outstanding. | 2007-04-03 | ||
| BUY | Beaufield Consolidated Resources Inc. | BFD-X | 0.500 | Property near the Elinore ore body that Goldcorp (G-T) bought from Virginia (VIA-T). A beautiful land spread and will be drilling. Couple of other projects also. Quebec project has some molybdenum. Good speculation. | 2007-04-03 | ||
| Comment | Staccato Gold Resources Ltd. | CAT-X (Dead) | 0.600 | Has some interesting properties in Nevada. | 2007-04-03 | ||
| STRONG BUY | Tournigan Gold Corporation | TVC-X | 3.170 | Extremely bullish on uranium. Will be splitting the company into gold and uranium and this will surface some value in the gold portion. Uranium assets are in Slovakia and are severely undervalued. | 2007-04-03 | ||
| DON'T BUY | San Gold Corporation | SGR-T | 1.140 | Not a real bull on this stock. | 2007-04-03 | ||
| PAST TOP PICK | Marathon PGM Corporation | MAR-T (Dead) | 5.800 | (A Top Pick Feb 8/07. Up 47.7%.) Finally reflected its value. Even at this price, it barely reflects its asset value. | 2007-04-03 | ||
| PAST TOP PICK | Franconia Minerals Corp. | FRA-T(dead) | 1.900 | (A Top Pick Feb 8/07. Down 2%.) Has been disappointing. Extraordinarily cheap. As a massive deposit in Minnesota. Still a Buy. | 2007-04-03 | ||
| BUY | Pine Tree Capital Ltd. | PNP-T | 11.950 | Good, solid, closed end fund. Just had a 2 for 1 split. | 2007-04-03 | ||
|
| |||||||
| STRONG BUY | Melkior Resources Inc. | MKR-X | 0.540 | Has action in uranium in Quebec, nickel in Ungava and gold in Timmins. All 3 are great addresses. Good entry point. | 2007-04-03 | ||

| WEAK BUY | Critical Elements Corp. | CRE-X | 0.180 | Will be processing tailings as well as reenergizing an open pit. Not crazy about the grades in either the tailings or the pits. Has some merits. | 2007-04-03 | ||
| BUY | Starcore International Ventures | SAM-T | 1.040 | A producing mind and good exploration potential. Disappointed in the price action and feels they may be clearing some stock in the market. Management change is very positive. Very cheap. | 2007-04-03 | ||
| Comment | Africo Resources Ltd. | ARL-T | 3.600 | Stock has languished, not because of a project, but because of the Congo. Spectacularly undervalued. | 2007-04-03 | ||
| BUY | Eldorado Gold | ELD-T | 6.990 | Has highest admiration for management. Have good book of assets. Have no concerns with their Turkish operations. | 2007-02-08 | ||
| WEAK BUY | Iamgold Corp | IMG-T | 10.110 | Now it has become an operator, which is good. Their big exploration project is in Ecuador with a government that is a little questionable. There is nothing in this stock that turns him on other than that it is not expensive. | 2007-02-08 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Northgate Minerals Corp. | NGX-T(dead) | 4.300 | Not a great fan of this company. People running it have done a great job. Benefited hugely from copper, which is now coming back to earth. Would rather be in gold plays than copper. | 2007-02-08 | ||
| BUY | Orvana Minerals | ORV-T | 0.670 | Undervalued because of fears that Bolivia will nationalize the mine. Doesn't feel this will happen. Should have enough cash by October to justify the current stock price and the upper mineralisation zone, on net asset value, is also worth the current price plus they have the existing mine. Extraordinarily cheap. | 2007-02-08 | ||
| STRONG BUY | QGX Ltd. | QGX-T | 1.950 | One of the cheaper stocks on the board. Totally misunderstood. It's in Mongolia, which is viewed as a problem by a lot of people. Have a terrific coal property. Feels there will be some sort of transaction on the coal project which will validate the under valuation of the Company. | 2007-02-08 | ||
| HOLD | Queenstake Resources (merged to Yukon-Nevada Gold) | QRL-T | 0.200 | Merging with YGC Resources (YGC-T). This has been a very disappointing stock. They couldn't operate their mine successfully. Great land package. Wouldn't buy at this time until you see what happens. | 2007-02-08 | ||
| PAST TOP PICK | Southwestern Resources | SWG-T | 7.550 | (A Top Pick Nov 30/06. Down 9.7%.) Still buying. One of the great generators of mining projects. Looking for it to be taken out in the next couple of years. | 2007-02-08 | ||
| HOLD | Gold-Ore Resources Ltd | GOZ-T | 0.720 | Have an interesting project in Sweden. There are great people behind this one. | 2007-02-08 | ||
| BUY | Glencairn Gold | GGG-T | 0.620 | Have 2 producing mines, one in Costa Rica and one in Nicaragua. Going forward, producing mines will be important, as there is a huge shortage of personnel, so it will be difficult and costly to build new mines. Good price. | 2007-02-08 | ||
| SELL | Cumberland resources Inc | CLG-T | 7.040 | Building mines in northern Canada is going to become a very costly process. Has been a great stock, but there are better opportunities on a risk/reward bases. | 2007-02-08 | ||
| BUY | Intrepid Minerals Corporation | IAU-T | 0.500 | Bane of his existence. Had the right backing, great exploration play and a resource in Argentina. Then acquired a producing mine in Australia that has been nothing but a headache. Making it worse, they have a hedge, which consumes cash. It has now reached a level where it is clearly in buying range. | 2007-02-08 | ||
| BUY | African Gold Group Inc. | AGG-X | 1.990 | Operating in Kenya and Mali Good management. Most promising project is in Mali. Extraordinarily cheap. | 2007-02-08 | ||
| BUY | Beaufield Consolidated Resources Inc. | BFD-X | 0.385 | Has a very good land package in the Elianore area. Stock had a huge run and has pulled back sharply. Very cheap for a good speculation. | 2007-02-08 | ||
| Comment | Southern Andes Energy | SUR-X | 1.270 | Partnered with Frontier Pacific Mining (FRP-X) in southern Peru in a very interesting uranium play. Prefers Frontier Pacific as they have half the play as well as a wonderful gold project. | 2007-02-08 | ||
| BUY | Maxy Gold Corp. | MXD-X | 0.870 | Good representation of what’s been going on in the junior gold space. Well promoted ones have done spectacularly well while others, even with good projects, are wasting away. This falls in the latter group. Good project in China. Very cheap. | 2007-02-08 | ||
|
| |||||||
| PAST TOP PICK | Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. | WDO-T | 1.880 | (A Top Pick Nov 30/06. Down 12.8%.) Has 2 operating mines and will be premium value when the gold price goes up sharply. | 2007-02-08 | ||
| DON'T BUY | San Gold Corporation | SGR-T | 1.120 | The mine in Manitoba has failed under everybody else's sponsorship, so he is sceptical. | 2007-02-08 | ||
| HOLD | Great Panther Resources Ltd | GPR-T | 2.120 | Missed their production targets by over promising and under delivering. Still has great confidence in management and think they can get on top of the problems. Good silver projects. | 2007-02-08 | ||

| PAST TOP PICK | Genco Resources Ltd. | GGC-T (Dead) | 2.840 | (A Top Pick Nov 30/06. Up 2%.) Great silver play in Mexico. Still likes. | 2007-02-08 | ||
| HOLD | Gold Eagle Mines Ltd. | GEA-T | 8.200 | There is supposedly a lot of ounces in their Redlake project. The problem is, it's very deep. Still likes, but it is no longer risk free. | 2007-02-08 | ||
| BUY | Melkior Resources Inc. | MKR-X | 0.350 | Has an excellent package of properties with gold, uranium and nickel. A really good stock. | 2007-02-08 | ||
| BUY | Buffalo Gold Ltd. | BUF-X (Dead) | 1.240 | Has a good project in Papua New Guinea. Drilling results have been very promising. | 2007-02-08 | ||
| HOLD | Frontier Pacific Mining Corp. | FRP-X | 0.710 | Partnered with Solex Resources (SOX-X) in southern Peru in an interesting uranium play. Prefers this one as they have half the play as well as a wonderful gold project. | 2007-02-08 | ||
| HOLD | Petaquilla Minerals Ltd. | PTQ-T | 2.170 | This flies under the radar. They are planning to spin their copper off. Have an interesting gold property that still doesn't have enough ounces on it, but it is showing well. | 2007-02-08 | ||
| TOP PICK | Tri Origin Exploration Limited | TOE-X | 1.200 | Involved with an Australian operation with a huge poly metallic ore body. Own 54% of Tri Origin Expiration in Australia that is trading at a price equivalent to $1.50 of the Canadian company, so you are buying is trading company at a third. Just raised money to drill their Red Lake property. | 2007-02-08 | ||
| Comment | StrataGold Corp. | SGV-T | 1.150 | Really likes the geology in Guyana. Have a relationship with Newmont Mining (NEM-N) and wouldn't be surprised if they had a significant ore body which was eventually taken over by Newmont. | 2007-02-08 | ||
| BUY | CMQ Resources Inc. | NV-X | 0.445 | An interesting one. So far, it has been a massive failure as a stock. Has an interesting land package in Nevada. At these prices, he likes the stock very much. | 2007-02-08 | ||
| BUY | Axmin Inc | AXM-X | 0.990 | Extremely enthusiastic about this company. Run by people with a huge record of success in Africa. Probably the best exploration team in all of Africa. | 2006-11-30 | ||
| BUY | Comaplex Minerals | CMF-T (Dead) | 3.300 | Likes management, which gives him a great deal of confidence in the company. Have a project in Nunavut that has great promise along with a Mexican project. | 2006-11-30 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Goldcorp Inc | G-T | 35.710 | Paid too much for Glamis Gold, but ended up with a good management team. He can get more leverage with other companies. | 2006-11-30 | ||
| WEAK BUY | High River Gold Mines | HRG-T | 2.400 | First class management. Nervous about Russia. Likes their assets in West Africa and Burkina Faso. If they could do something about their Russian operation, such as sell or get more partners, he would be more comfortable. | 2006-11-30 | ||
| BUY | Iamgold Corp | IMG-T | 10.980 | Was disappointed when they paid such a hefty premium for Cambrior, but now that it has shaken out, it may actually be an accretive acquisition. Not a bad package. | 2006-11-30 | ||
| DON'T BUY | Crystallex International | KRY-T (Dead) | 4.280 | Hasn't liked this one. A low-grade ore body in Venezuela. Venezuela is a huge risk. Easier ways to make money. | 2006-11-30 | ||
|
| |||||||
| DON'T BUY | Kinross Gold | K-T | 14.340 | It has the brand name that when gold goes up, it will attract buyers. Fairly large production profile. Feel they overpaid when acquiring Bema (BGO-T). Most of their mines qualities are terrible. | 2006-11-30 |
