Latest Top Picks

Stock Opinions by Peter Grandich

TOP PICK
Institutions are paying a premium for companies they believe can have production growth. This company acquired very interesting projects in Australia at a very low price. Now a significant producer. Bumped up estimates from 100,000 ounces of production to 120,000 with a potential target of 500,000.. Long-term prospects look extremely good.

TOP PICK
2 world-class projects. Rattlesnake is a multimillion-ounce project. Just announced a major discovery in Nevada. Grossly undervalued.

TOP PICK
Alderon Iron Ore
Iron ore project in Labrador. Management has had great past success.
metal mines
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 3/09. Up 70.69%.) Still a Buy. Favourite takeover target.
precious metals
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 3/09. Up 1.05%.) Multi-project company mainly in Ontario, with 3 advanced stage exploration. More than a survivor in the exploration business and is only a question of when that one of its major partners decides to buy in or take them over.

PAST TOP PICK
Nevsun Resources
(A Top Pick June 3/09. Up 58.13%.)

COMMENT
Barrick Gold
Spun off their African project into a separate company. Thinks this is going to be the new news in the majors in order to get a bigger bang for shareholders.

BUY
Low-grade but big gold deposit in British Columbia. Revamped management. Potential good future. Worthwhile speculation.
precious metals
COMMENT
Gold. $1300-$1500 this year and $2000 before the eventual end of the bull market and doesn't know when that will be.

HOLD
Zinc mine in Mexico showing very rich grades. Zinc has rebounded along with many of the base metals. More bullish on precious metals than base metals. Good company. Will have to either get on the acquisition trail or find new projects to grow. Good long-term hold.

BUY
Rodinia Minerals Inc
Had some really great news of late. Lithium play is going through the inevitable shakeout. The sizzle part of the move is over and we now have to find the few players that will become producers and this is one of them. Speculative.
non-base metal mining
BUY
Lithium One
Lithium play is going through the inevitable shakeout. Sizzle part of the move is over and we now have to find the few players that will become producers and this is one of them. Speculative.

COMMENT
Silver, unfortunately, is a very thin traded market compared to gold. Believes you still have to own gold first but one of the big surprises in the year could be a big bump up in the silver price.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Denison Mines Corp
Uranium under pressure. Difficult to get excited about uranium prices right now. Inevitable turnaround will come as uranium and nuclear energy will become a major part of the world going forward. This will be one of the companies that more than survives. No short-term reason to get all excited about uranium stocks. Look to buy on sustained weakness.
non-base metal mining
BUY
Sunridge Gold
Exploration gold company in Eritrea, a country that is not getting favourable press. Market has overreacted. Thinks the worst is behind them.
