Gold Stocks vs S&P and comments on investing in Uranium Stocks
Sean Brodrick joins me today to share a chart he posted that outlines the overall performance of gold stocks compared to the S&P and equal weight S&P – you can see this chart below. We also compare gold stocks to the underlying gold price. We then move to the uranium sector and the factors driving the move higher.
Cory & Sean great interview touching on Gold & Silver miners as well as the Uranium miners. Sean was spot on regarding both sectors.
OFF TOPIC:

Eric Sprott announces holdings in Freegold Ventures, If all is approved he will have almost 61 million shares and slightly more than 28 million warrants. Well done Eric, The Sprott effect should keep Freegold sizzling along until the drilling results come out. Rumor is the drilling results won’t be released until just before Freegold’s AGM, on September 15th. DT

DT – you see Vizsal is getting more aggressive with their drilling?
(VZLA) (VIZSF) Vizsla Adds Third Drill Rig and Increases Exploration Program at Panuco Silver Project, Mexico
by @newswire on 15 Jul 2020
https://ceo.ca/@newswire/vizsla-adds-third-drill-rig-and-increases-exploration
That’s off the back of recent Sprott inflows of capital into VZLA.
Hi Ex, VZLA was one of your stock picks over at ceo.ca, what other stocks did you select for the stock picking contest, I am curious. DT
Ex, even if a company doesn’t need Eric’s money, I don’t think it would be too wise to turn him down, and by the way I’m glad he is financing all these juniors, or we could see a lot more Asian countries putting in bids at fire sale prices. DT
DT…..good thought,
Hi Jerry, now is the time to be in the metals section, it may never be like this again in our lifetime. DT
DT……..I agree 100%…….that is why , I am here on a daily basis……
Hi DT. Yes agreed, if Uncle Eric has funds to up his stake in a company, it is wise to accept. He is single-handedly back stopping about 60 companies.
There are 2 different contests running over at ceo.ca run by my buddy @EvenPrime. There are about 1400 investors in each one.
For the annual contest Jan-Dec 2020 my picks are IPT ImpactSilver, SCZ Santacruz Silver, and DV Dolly Varden.
For the summer contest July – Sept my picks are VZLA Vizsla Resources, TV Trevali, PRG Precipitate Gold.
We’ll see how it goes… it’s all for fun anyway, as the timelines are arbitrary & fixed, and in real life each stock is individually managed, and investors may buy or sell the stocks multiple times over those time frames, or in most cases people already initiated a position before the contests even started.
It looks like the Canadian dollar will move above its June 10th high very soon…

Any body looking at Outback Gold? MRDDF, Sprott has his fingers in there too
Cardinal gets competing take over offer from Nord Gold SE, at 66 cents per share. DT
https://web.tmxmoney.com/article.php?newsid=4776454492961487&qm_symbol=CDV
That is interesting DT. I wrote on here 2 different times about a month or 2 back that I felt Nordgold would make an offer to take over Cardinal Resources, and now here is their offer. It is interesting to see yet another bidding war in the gold sector during a takeover process.
As mentioned yesterday there was also the news about Coenerstone Capital rejecting the takeover offer by SolGold in Ecuador.
The M&A is heating up in the PM sector in 2020.
Coenerstone = Cornerstone

Eric Sprott Talks About A $110 Silver Price
Arcadia Economics – July 13, 2020 #VIDEO
“Eric Sprott is one of the most successful investors in the world, so it often can be quite profitable to listen to what he’s saying. And in a recent interview, he talked about why he saw a $110 #silver price as a realistic possibility.”
“To be clear, he did not say that is guaranteed to happen tomorrow or next month. But I still think you would find his comments rather interesting…”
I hope he is right since I am overweight silver stocks.
Same here Charles. The rationale used was that in the last metals cycle Silver went up 10 fold from $5 to $50, so this time it could go from $11 to $110.
Personally I’ll be thrilled with the action in Silver miners if the underlying metals price just gets into the mid $20’s. 🤑
…and if Silver can get into the $30’s in 1-2 years then the moves in the miners will be mind-blowing 🤯🤯🤯

Not liking the stocks trading after latest results released. ☹️
Don’t see my post that got the dreaded awaiting moderation so I’ll say again that I’m not liking how Kootenay is trading after release of results. ☹️
Wolfster, the 180 million ounces of low grade silver will take care of everything when silver goes into the 20s while the potential at the high-grade Columba project is a nice bonus. For now, KTN is still digesting the double that happened in 2 weeks in May.
Drill holes have to be good beyond the understanding of the average speculator to have a real and lasting impact. Most action that appears to be news-driven is technically preordained.
Run-of-the-mill “good” news has no power to buck a trend. If the following news releases had happened in an uptrend, most would insist that they caused the uptrend:
https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=BBB.V&p=D&st=2015-11-03&en=2017-03-04&id=p48562715783&a=738479055
Yeah, I agree on Kootenay’s lower grade deposits having great optionality to rising silver prices and was writing that below when you were posting this above. KTN will get rerated much higher from here.
As for those Brixton drill results, they were posted in a bear market, and good news often gets sold during corrective legs. They had spent the lion’s share of 2016 getting more focused on Langis/Hudson Bay and Silver, so rotating back to Thorn and Gold in 2017 and buying Atlin and Hog heaven without clarifying their plan, wasn’t winning them any points with investors at that time.
correction: not a “bear market,” but rather a “bearish consolidation” of the 2016 surge.
The drilling results at Hog Heaven have been solid thus far and has put a bit of life back in Brixton, in concert with the rising Silver & Gold prices, and they still have another round to announce from H.H., and then they shift back over to the drilling at Thorn for August-Sept. If those are good, or if they announce they finally have attracted a larger strategic partner on one of their projects, then that news will absolutely move the needle.

@triggerinside To me, the holes looks very solid, broadly mineralized from surface with very high grade sweetener zones. I like the three holes released so far!

Like I said, most will insist that the news caused the uptrend.
The 7/7 and 7/14 drill news came after BBB hit .275 which was clearly on its way due to the preceding impulse leg.
https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=BBB.V&p=W&yr=4&mn=11&dy=0&id=p82539958530&a=784535601
The number one driver of these juniors by far is the underlying trend. That much is crystal clear.
They are complimentary factors, but the drill results are bringing in new buyers to the BBB story, and into many of the drill plays across the board. That is why there is buying showing up that translates to volume and closing prices on the charts in the first place. If they were putting out dusters in this rising metals prices environment, like other companies have done recently, then their share prices would have have tanked regardless of the preceding technical set up. That much is also clear.
Re: “That is why there is buying showing up that translates to volume and closing prices on the charts in the first place.”
— — —
You “know” that the way you “know” that you are “one of the few here who looks at my charts.” In other words, you don’t.
Have you ever studied the volume that comes with big moves and no news? You really should know by now that more investors buy because price is rising than any other reason.
Re: “If they were putting out dusters in this rising metals prices environment, like other companies have done recently, then their share prices would have have tanked regardless of the preceding technical set up.”
Sorry but that is absolute nonsense and my experience proves it. Why do you think I’ve engaged you on your assumptions in the first place?
Yes Matthew buying begets buying, and they have some resources at Hog Heaven that are getting rated higher with the rising metals prices, but they also put out holes from Langis/Hudson bay earlier this year, and in 2016, they didn’t have any significant ounces (and didn’t even own Hog Heaven until 2017) so what moved them higher was the news of acquiring Langis/Hudson Bay then, as it sure as hell wasn’t the work at Thorn that propelled them so much higher back then on that epic run (where they crushed many Silver companies with superior ounces in the ground that should have been rated up even higher based on your flawed logic). No it isn’t just about ounces in the ground getting rated higher when stocks go on moves like that from widely followed news.
No Matthew, that statement is not nonsense, and my experience proves it as much as your experience. You aren’t the only one that’s had success investing in mining stocks, and the vast majority of resource investors in Jr drill plays are following the news, not just pouring over the technical charts.
“If they were putting out dusters in this rising metals prices environment, like other companies have done recently, then their share prices would have have tanked regardless of the preceding technical set up.” Bingo!
If they had put out shitty drill results, it would have swamped the technical set up, but we knew they weren’t going to as they were drilling into known historic mineralization to showcase to the marketplace what they have at Hog Heaven as per Gary’s own words. If they were truly doing blind greenfields discovery and hit drill holes like that then they’d have had moves more like what we’ve seen at Vizsla resources lately.
Again, Vizsla is a great example of how the drill holes on June 24th and last week completely spiked the valuation up hundreds of percent, and it was on the drill news, and not predicted in the technicals no matter how much you’d blather on that they were. The drill news is what moved VZLA and then from here, now TA will take back over with those closing prices on the charts to recalibrate. This true of dozens of other drill plays that suddenly shoot up out of nowhere on the charts, due to epic drill holes, or crashes in companies share price out of nowhere when they put out bad drill holes. This is common sense, and you desire to constantly turn a blind eye to the newsflow in Jr miners is as startlingly myopic as it is wrong. Yes, the technical set up and charts matter, but so does substantive fundamental news.
Re: “…the vast majority of resource investors in Jr drill plays are following the news, not just pouring over the technical charts.”
You are correct and the fact that you thought that was worth pointing out jibes perfectly with your misunderstanding of how the market functions.
OK Matthew. So once again, you are the judge of how markets work, and yet I don’t understand where the demand is coming from in the market = drill news. What a hilarious and condescending opinion for you to hold, but it’s a free country and can think whatever you want.
You don’t have all the answers or the only clear understanding of what makes a market Matthew. The closing prices on any chart merely reflect the prices of those investors that felt compelled to buy it (mostly for fundamental reasons). Especially in the Jr exploration plays, investors are piling into discovery stores for their newsflow and fundamental data, and that IS what is moving the markets. On more established producers, the quarterly operations reports, guidance, acquisitions, revenues & cashflows & balance sheet come into play by every analyst that follows them, but individual news stories have less weight in a larger company like that, so TA is more applicable. Some of the drill plays in contrast hardly have any volume at all until they hit paydirt, and then folks come flooding in.
Again, look at what just played out in Vizsla last week. That was the freaking market and it was 100% based on drilling news, and a move that extreme was not predicted by any technical analysis, no matter how you may twist you mind to think so.
Back at you. Once again, you think all opinions are equally legitimate. They’re not.
Have a good day.
Well somewhere within all those posts I’ll slip in my thank you to the both of you for input. I wasn’t disappointed that it didn’t pop on the news I was just concerned with what to me looked like weakness but as the day wore on it looks more like .34 is the consolidation point perhaps. Time will tell
Wolfster, I think KTN is likely to see .50+ for the move that is starting now or very soon…
https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=KTN.V&p=D&yr=1&mn=2&dy=0&id=p94089804168&a=779067434
Yeah, KTN is trading flat on the day post results, and I would have expected a bit more of a pop, especially considering the higher Silver pricing lately, but they have more results coming in over the next few weeks, and sometimes it takes folks marinating on the results for a day or 2 before the volume comes in.
While they are medium to higher grade results, they are very narrow intercepts, so if they can put together those grades at 2-4 times the length of the intercepts, then that may get the markets more interested.
KTN still has their lower grade optionality projects as well, and if Silver does get back up into the low $20s again later this year and going into next year, then those projects will provide a lot of leverage to rising prices, so I’m hanging onto my Kootenay Silver position for long game.
(TML) (TSRMF) Treasury Metals and (PTX) Platinex Inc. Complete Consolidation of Mining Properties in Shining Tree District, Ontario
by @newswire on 16 Jul 2020
“In consideration for acquiring the Mining Claims and the Royalties, Platinex issued to Treasury 12,500,000 common shares of Platinex and 5,000,000 non-transferable common share purchase warrants of Platinex.”
Mr. Greg Ferron, Treasury Metals Inc.’s CEO, stated that, “The consolidation of the two Shining Tree properties provides multiple benefits to both parties and gives Treasury’s shareholders a toehold equity position in another exciting gold district in Ontario. We look forward to the exploration results and the significant wealth of knowledge Jim and his team have of this highly prospective exploration camp. The recent acquisition of the neighboring Juby gold deposit by Caldas Gold demonstrates the increased activity in the district.”
https://ceo.ca/@newswire/treasury-metals-and-platinex-inc-complete-consolidation
Silver finally made it over last year’s peak of $19.75 today, closing up to $19.76 and then moving up to $19.83 in after hours trading!
Next resistance at the 2016 high of $21.23. Does Silver have the juice to make it there on this move, or will it need to rest and consolidate first before charging higher?
Regardless, technical progress was made on the chart today. I’d still like to see Silver close up above $19.75 on the weekly chart as well, to anchor the move higher.
Cheers!
