July 21, 2020

Dave Erfle wraps up the editorials today by discussing what he is looking for when investing in precious metals stocks. Investors have the option of lower market cap explorers through to advanced exploration plays all the way up to more established miners. We try to simplify where the safer bets are vs the more high risk plays.

        Marty, keep us posted on when you may lighten up on some positions, and most importantly, if there are any stocks out there in the gold, silver, copper space that you have your eye on. Your comments are always appreciated.

    Time for a banana split?

    Jul 21, 2020 21:02 PM

    Back on the 8th I pointed out the breakouts in silver and the miners and said that silver would be above 20 very soon yet countless people on various sites thought we were in for a “pullback” or a correction. I guess most didn’t understand the significance of those breakouts and that such breakouts mean that price has a new floor!

      Yup! I’ve been just as vocal and continue to say $29-$30 year end if not higher. 21 was smashed and $23-$24 next before this cycle ends and pauses.

        Jul 21, 2020 21:14 PM

          Cfs thanks for all your post as well! I do read them as I do with everyone’s.

        Jul 22, 2020 22:24 AM

        I love how now in hindsight everyone totally saw the 2016 high of $21.23 being eclipsed 2 days after the close of $19.76 on Friday, after just taking out the 2019 high last week, by such a huge margin, and in such a short time frame. This was a far stronger move in 2 days followed by another one today, than anyone was forecasting for this week.

        Many of us were quite bullish on Silver moving higher, and I also posted about half dozen times that I thought Silver was going to move higher once the impulse leg was confirmed and the 2019 high of $19.75 was taken out on a closing basis…. and that is what has played out. It’s silly to claim that anyone saw the next peak at $21.23 would be taken out in just 2 more trading sessions. Gimme a break.

        I mentioned several times that Silver would be heading higher afterward and that what we saw with Silver surging again on Monday was not a surprise, but it remained to be see if there was enough juice to make it up to challenge the $21.23 level on this leg higher. Not one person taking credit here said “oh we’ll clear that tomorrow by about an extra $.40.” This was a far stronger move higher than even any of the Silver bulls were expecting.

        There were plenty of us on the blog the stated they were bullish on Silver continuing to move higher, and plenty of KER commentators that came on like David Erfle, Brien Lunding, Jordan Roy-Bryne, Sean Brodrick, and John Rubino that all felt Silver was going to head higher. Most of them mentioned the key level of eventually taking out the 2016 high of $21.23, but none of them (including everyone that has commented on this blog, or any other I’ve seen) expected that prior peak to be taken out this soon, on such an explosive move higher in Silver, 2 days after the weekly close of $19.76 on just Friday.

          Jul 22, 2020 22:27 AM

          Silver futures are now trading at $22.32 and there was nobody expecting this level would be hit this week when we were just at $19.76 on Friday. We all expected higher prices, but this is clearly an epic Silver short squeeze and is surpassed the 2016 high with no issue, no back test, and hasn’t stopped ratcheting higher all week long.

          It is fantastic and should be celebrated, but nobody was calling for this extreme of a move higher by Wednesday.

            I sure did not see it……just for the record…… 🙂
            I just notice funny things happening, ….and mention them 🙂

            Jul 22, 2020 22:42 AM

            Agreed OOTB. Any honest person would admit that even if they were bullish on Silver, like most of us have been, and even with the strong weekly close last week, nobody was call for this extreme of a move up yesterday or today with Silver now at $22.52 on the futures.

            It’s wild and fun and should just be celebrated that it’s moved so much higher so very quickly.

            Thanks for mentioned the funny things as they happen 🙂

            Like I said……….whole new ball game……..
            Daily..high so far…..at $23.26……hummm….

            Jul 22, 2020 22:39 AM

            I posted this yesterday, but it’s just as appropriate today:

            As for $Silver today, taking out the 2016 high in just a few days after taking out the 2019 high can’t be understated. “The Force is strong with this one.”

          Wolfster – Kootenay should move well today with this drill news hitting the wires and paired with the rising metals prices.

            Wolfster – KTN is now up 13.92% today on this news, and is at $.45 (above your $.40 level of concern). Have an extra helping of oatmeal today sir! haha!

            Jul 22, 2020 22:16 AM

            Yes wolfster is happy…. glenfidish would have me howling I bet. 😎

            Jul 22, 2020 22:22 AM

            Nice one Wolfster. I think Glen may say, “Can I get a wolf wolf!!”

            Jul 22, 2020 22:49 AM

            Ex,

            I posted a message above. Just to clarify I did not say it think silver would go parabolic in two days like that but truly and sincerely I knew within this cycle 21 would go down and 23-24 a reality..

            Wolf amazing! Really happy for all of us as I wish us all to make a boat load. As ex said can i get a wolf wolf can I get a wolf wolf lol..

            Scorpio is going to run to that .30 zone before cycle ends..
            we have waited patiently of many years for our conviction of this bull. Out time has come jerry and all. Just always understand that corrections are good as well..we need them to continue much higher 🙂

            Jul 22, 2020 22:25 AM

            Agreed Glenfidish, neither you nor anyone else stated that they thought Silver would go parabolic in just 2 days after the weekly close above the 2019 high of $19.75, nor that it would take out the 2016 high of $21.23 on Tuesday by $.40, and then add another $1 the next day.

            We were all bullish on Silver, and I repeatedly laid out where the 2 key prior peaks were at $19.75 and $21.23 and have stated repeatedly that after those levels are cleared then the real fireworks will start in miners with Silver moving into the low $20s.

            _____________________________

            “Agreed Ozibatla. There is significant resistance at about $26- $26.50 for Silver, so I’d be surprised to see Silver at $30 by year’s end, but if it really piled on caused a massive short squeeze then it is possible, just not as probable.”

            “Again, targets like that are getting way ahead of themselves, as Silver is still having the daily knife fight with last year’s high of $19.75. It would be technically very bullish to close today on the weekly candle above last year’s high, and earlier it got up to $19.78, and then currently is 2 ticks below it at $19.73.”

            “Let’s see Sllver close above $19.75 today, which sets up the next upside line in the sand – the 2016 surge high of $21.23. Once that level is cleared definitively on a closing basis, then the real fireworks can start, and a move to mid $20’s will be possible.”
            __________________________________________________________________

            I wasn’t in fear as you claimed below, but I did say, it will be interesting to see if Silver has the juice to make it past the $21.23 level on this move. That isn’t fear, and since nobody here is a fortune teller, that was a reasonable position to hold.

            ____________________________________________

            I wrote back to Ozibatla about how bullish this weekly close was for Silver, so I’m not sure how it could have been any clearer about where I stood.

            >>On July 17, 2020 at 1:19 pm,

            “Silver closed exactly at $19.75 today. It would have been nice to see the weekly close at $19.76 or higher, but hell it is still a very bullish move and weekly close.”

            I followed it up to correct & update the message to Ozibatla with this final message, once Matthew pointed out Silver actually settled at $19.76 on the weekly.

            “Update: Correction, Stockcharts is showing Silver closing at $19.76. It was above it’s 2019 high of $19.75 several times this week, and that’s the highest weekly close in 4 years. Very constructive for Silver.”

      Jul 22, 2020 22:13 AM

      First thought…….since they have never been in the pm market, which guru are they going to listen…..they certainly do not know any expert in the metals…..should be interesting.

          “I wouldn’t buy anything today. When things are going vertical crazy like that, that’s the time to be taking profits, not buying,” he said. “Younger people, they’re not stupid. They’re smart and they see the opportunity that’s fantastic, but on average, of course by definition, they lack experience, and I think they tend to chase momentum,” he said.

      Jul 22, 2020 22:39 AM

      Posted the Kootenay News higher up for Wolfster, but yes I saw that news out for Goldon about their new discovery. I mentioned recently becoming a shareholder so I’m thrilled with the announcement.

      GoldON Makes New Gold Discovery at West Madsen within the Key Balmer Stratigraphy that Hosts All Major Deposits in the Red Lake Greenstone Belt

      by @accesswire on 22 Jul 2020

      Chris Taylor, President and CEO of Great Bear said, “GoldON has just crossed a discovery threshold that many junior companies struggle to reach. These results validate our exploration models, which predicted the Balmer Assemblage would be present on the West Madsen property, projecting west from the Madsen mine. The discovery of gold mineralization in multiple drill holes, including high-grade gold, clearly shows the potential of the project. As GoldON shareholders and future royalty holders of the West Madsen project, we are very pleased to see these positive developments and are looking forward to seeing further drill results from West Madsen, and to testing Great Bear’s other regional exploration targets at the Sobel, Dedee and Pakwash properties.”

        Jul 22, 2020 22:36 AM

        So far, just an add to Kootenay. Waiting to hear what Eric Coffin thinks about Aston Bay drill results. Market not responding as investors hoped for this early drill activity. The interesting thing about Aston is they are in an old mining area of Virginia that has been dormant. Expectations were high.

          Jul 22, 2020 22:42 AM

          Interesting. Yes, Eric Coffin is the go to guy on Aston Bay. For some reason I thought they were drilling a project that was really far into the northern territory up by the artic circle, and that the discount they got was for how remote the project was. Isn’t that where BAY was working? I didn’t even realize that they were working in Virginia. Thanks.

          Jul 22, 2020 22:51 AM

          Also added to Orex as it jumped up and I can’t find anything but a 1 mil financing. Got some anyway.

            Jul 22, 2020 22:01 AM

            Yeah, I’ve been liking how Orex has been moving higher lately and the financing being done (and they had that big buy from Robert L. Gipson, c/o Ingalls & Snyder LLC which was another vote of confidence).

            With money in the coffers and partners like Pan American Silver and Fresnillo, I’m sure good ole’ REX will do just fine in this Silver bull.

            Jul 22, 2020 22:27 AM

            Moved some Freegold and Vizsla profits to my Ely bank. As long as the miners are negative during positive metals prices…

            Jul 22, 2020 22:38 AM

            Added a few Blackrock in honor of ES.

            Jul 22, 2020 22:39 AM

            David – Seems prudent, as there are many miners starting to stall out here in the face of higher metals prices, and it never hurts to squirrel away some outsized profits. If the stocks end up pulling back some those positions can always be added right back again.

    I’ve noticed my Callinex position coming back to life recently. More good news out from them yesterday that they’ve commenced drilling in Flin Flon. I’m interested to see what they hit there on this exploration program.

        Jul 22, 2020 22:26 AM

        Zinc is also back close to $1 (up from $.85-$.90 just short time back).

        Clearly the team at Callinex is solid, and I’ve gotten excited in years past only to be let down, but I’m glad they’re getting back out there to drill some highly anticipated targets. I’d like to see them hit paydirt, and if the share-price rises just a bit more then I’ll be back to profitability in it. Honestly I’ve noticed a lot of the Zincsters moving higher lately.

          Jul 22, 2020 22:43 PM

          After Callinex shot up to a 60% gain on the day, I sold my shares, as the move is too extended today, and I’ll buy back at a lower price.

    MXSG doesn’t seem to be trading

      Jul 22, 2020 22:17 AM

      I noticed Mexus moving earlier in the week, but today there was virtually no volume, but I show it up 5.41% to $.0039. I’m surprised with them in production now and with the higher gold prices that they aren’t about 2-3 times higher already. They still have to prove to the market that they can keep producing, increase production, and generate revenues for the company, but overall it actually does look like they finally have turned things around. I’m waiting to see if they can make a second run to $.20 but this time hang onto that valuation with the production as a backstop in value.

        Jul 22, 2020 22:20 AM

        Buzz, now you made me go look. (lol) I see in the presser from June 15th, that they paid off their old debt on June 13th with a new loan, and believe they’ll have that paid off in the next 6 months out of production revenues. If they can pull that off and be debt free by the beginning of 2021, that surely they’ll be getting valued higher as they get closer to that goal.

          Jul 22, 2020 22:07 AM

          Well, it’s started trading now, but down 2.7%, as gold has moved higher. Who knows?

            Jul 22, 2020 22:30 PM

            Nothing but patients for MXSG

            Jul 23, 2020 23:11 AM

    (PGM) (LRTNF) PureGold Red Lake Mine Achieves Permitting Milestone

    by @nasdaq on 22 Jul 2020

    “I am exceptionally proud of the tremendous groundwork our team has completed to establish the foundation of a long-life mining company in Red Lake,” said Darin Labrenz, President and CEO of PureGold. “Since first acquiring the project, we have worked very closely with the First Nations, local communities and regulators to materially advance the project and to transform a brownfields site into a sustainable modern mine. To date, our work has clearly established a robust, scalable mining operation, while concurrently improving the surrounding environment through the progressive removal and reclamation of legacy works. In production, our PureGold Mine is expected to generate over $470 million in direct salaries over the life of the phase 1 mine and will provide significant economic benefits to the local communities and surrounding region through both direct and indirect taxation and expenditures. While proud of our rich Red Lake history, we are truly excited about the future as we establish a new, modern mining complex that will provide meaningful employment and be an economic driver for years to come.”

    Ron Rosen said if silver could close above 21.44 it would climb to 460 minimum, so be careful about taking profits. When silver hits 460 I wonder what HL, AXU, AG, EXK, USAS, SSRM, WPM, and PAAS will sell for? We’ll have to have a pig roast at Big Al’s hacienda.

      Jul 22, 2020 22:53 AM

      Good one bonzo barzini. If Silver goes to $460 then I’m buying a private island and disappearing off the radar, but I’d come meet you for the pig roast at Big Al’s hacienda if that were to happen. Here I am being thrilled with Silver at $22 and again I’ve set my sights far too low. (lol).

        Jul 22, 2020 22:13 AM

        With a move of $2 in Silver since last Friday, one would think now, with Silver up in the mid $22’s that the miners would be screaming higher, and while their moves are still mostly green on the day, there isn’t much oomph to it.

        SILJ is up less than Silver, and this true in many silver stocks being only slightly above to slightly below where Silver is trading. A very unusual response to such underlying strength in the metal.

        Maybe the miners don’t believe these high prices will stick for Silver and there will be a swift reversal, or maybe they are just slow to digest what these prices will do to the margins of the Producers, or the economics of the developers.

          Jul 22, 2020 22:19 AM

          I think , silver, ….Looking at a cup and handle chart..which is similar to gold….. silver still needs to take out some long term over head resistance….for the awareness in mining shares,to take hold….everyone around here is aware,….not so much for the outsiders looking in…….JMO

            Jul 22, 2020 22:21 AM

            OOTB – Agreed that the awareness in mining shares needs to grow and attract to money to move them substantially higher than the PM investors already positioned. Having said that I’d still have expected to see more of thrust higher in the Silver stocks today, but we have a number of days running higher prior to this, so maybe buyers are getting exhausted here. We’ll have to see how things progress for the balance of the week, as Silver miners may surprise folks tomorrow with a much larger response. For today I’m just doing some small rebalancing among share weightings as things have been all over the board since last week, and especially the last few days of this week.

    Foreigners aren’t buying into South Africa’s gold rally

    Submitted by cpowell on 03:01PM ET Wednesday, July 22, 2020. Section: Daily Dispatches
    By Robert Brand and Adelaide Changole

    Not even a record rally can entice foreign investors to South African gold stocks.

    With gold prices soaring on the heels of monetary stimulus, shares in producers of the metal are back in favor around the world. But investors are fretting about supply disruptions at South Africa’s mines as a result of soaring Covid-19 infections, according to Benguela Global Fund Managers Ltd.

      Jul 22, 2020 22:51 AM

      South African gold stocks have also been plagued with BS from labor unions for the last few years, have treated foreigners and foreign investment with malice, and have hinted at nationalizing certain mines as have neighboring countries the last few years… so yeah investors are avoiding South African for gold plays where there are many better options. Who can blame them?

      I feel much better investing in the somewhat risky countries in West Africa like Burkina Faso, Mali, Ghana, Sierra Leon, Ivory Coast, and Senegal because at least for the most part they respect the foreign investment money and improvements to power, water, road infrastructure, school, medicine, and jobs that the mining industry brings to the their communities. There have been nice runs higher in those companies like Roxgold, Teranga, Orezone, West Africa Resources, B2Gold, Sarama, and recently Savary, Cardinal, and Semafo were taken over by larger companies.

        Jul 22, 2020 22:10 AM

        Good thoughts………

        Jul 22, 2020 22:03 AM

        Being a holder of orezone and Roxgold I will say compared to the equivalent plays in other jurisdictions they are way undervalued so there is some truth to that I think

    Anybody know anything about Aussie miner White Rock Minerals that made a discovery in Alaska June 25 or thereabouts and tripled in a few days and now falling back ?

      Jul 22, 2020 22:58 AM

      It looks like they may be on to something, but all they’ve done so far is the rock chip samples. They are set to start drilling the property before the beginning of August though, so when those results come out that will be proof in the pudding. Most investors that have been jumping in now are trying to get in place before the drills start turning, which isn’t a bad idea.

        Yeah, at this point it’s a larger gamble since it hasn’t been drilled, but exploration work at surface has been promising. There is something to speculating on a positive thesis before the discovery has been confirmed (or missed), but I’ve got enough drill plays in my portfolio at this point, and would like to see what they end hitting after the drill to see what they may be onto. We’ll see how things progress.

    I’m sorry ex,

    But in all my conversations regarding gold and silver I was bullish like crazy and kept insisting I’m not trading my short or long positions. I still have not. I don’t know how much more bullish that can be. You mentioned 19 and then 21 and change many times with what i perceived as “ a sense of caution and fear” I for the record never felt that one bit. I called silver target higher Into the year. I’m being 100% sincere and the viewers in here know from my many months of talking the language that 21 would get smashed in this cycle and even was at awww with Gary’s “ wall of worry” and inconclusive determination with sidelines and not sure if he is going in and maybe not. I’ve been 100perdent clear I’m in and I believe Matt was clear as well. But he can speak for himself.

    I’m the first to put myself out there and say $29-$30 will be hit by year end and I have no doubt. If it comes back and bites me that’s fine I stand by my call in real time.

    Hope this clarify.. ps if you disagree let it be I don’t want to ruin this board with who takes the prize. I’m here to share and absorb. I’m all ears as well.

      Jul 22, 2020 22:56 AM

      Right on, Glen. You’ve been just as bullish privately as publicly and obviously nailed it.

      I bought back some IPT this morning, btw. Average price: 1.055

      Jul 22, 2020 22:13 AM

      No, sorry it didn’t clarify things Glenfidish, and if you mischaracterize what I said and you really are “all ears” then let me clarify where your misunderstanding is about what I’ve repeatedly said. Also neither you nor anyone else was calling for the 2016 high to be demolished in one step by over $.40 yesterday or this insanely strong move today despite all your forcasting and adjustments. That is all I was saying when people were patting themselves on the back up above like you were expecting this extreme of a move up this week. Nobody was claiming or stating that last week, but most of us were incredibly bullish coming into this week.

      You just wrote:

      “You mentioned 19 and then 21 and change many times with what i perceived as “ a sense of caution and fear” I for the record never felt that one bit. ”

      That is not a true representation of what I said at all. I stated a half dozen times in the last few weeks that I was very bullish on Silver, much more bullish on Silver and the Silver stocks than Gold or the Gold stocks, and that the first line in the sand was a close (and preferably a weekly close over the 2019 high of $19.75) and I was very specific about that (not just tossing out $30 or $35-$45 for next year which are not nearly as relevant to where silver was or the levels to watch).

      I mentioned clearly in a half dozen posts that if Silver could close above that key $19.75 level on the weekly that it would be very bullish indeed, and it absolutely has been. I mentioned the next key target would be $21.23 (again very specific and done far in advance of it happening — something you keep claiming to be the only one doing, which is also not true.)

      I’m not going to go back to early June or the nearly dozen posts where I put these same thoughts and figures out over and over because I don’t have time, and anyone that has been following anything I’ve been stating about Silver will know that is precisely what I’ve been saying. However here is a post from last Friday in a discussion I was having with Ozibatla (who you snapped at last week for daring to doubt Silver will get to $30 by year end).
      _____________________________________________________________________

      Excelsior says:

      “Agreed Ozibatla. There is significant resistance at about $26- $26.50 for Silver, so I’d be surprised to see Silver at $30 by year’s end, but if it really piled on caused a massive short squeeze then it is possible, just not as probable.”

      “Again, targets like that are getting way ahead of themselves, as Silver is still having the daily knife fight with last year’s high of $19.75. It would be technically very bullish to close today on the weekly candle above last year’s high, and earlier it got up to $19.78, and then currently is 2 ticks below it at $19.73.”

      “Let’s see Sllver close above $19.75 today, which sets up the next upside line in the sand – the 2016 surge high of $21.23. Once that level is cleared definitively on a closing basis, then the real fireworks can start, and a move to mid $20’s will be possible.”

      (So there you go Glenfidish, I’d say that was pretty specific and read that last line again if you are still confused.)

      _____________________________________________

      I wrote back to Ozibatla about how bullish this weekly close was for Silver.

      >>On July 17, 2020 at 1:19 pm,
      Excelsior says:

      “Silver closed exactly at $19.75 today. It would have been nice to see the weekly close at $19.76 or higher, but hell it is still a very bullish move and weekly close.”

      I followed it up to correct & update the message to Ozibatla with this final message, once Matthew pointed out Silver actually settled at $19.76 on the weekly.

      >> On July 17, 2020 at 2:30 pm,
      Excelsior says:

      “Update: Correction, Stockcharts is showing Silver closing at $19.76. It was above it’s 2019 high of $19.75 several times this week, and that’s the highest weekly close in 4 years. Very constructive for Silver.”

    Jul 22, 2020 22:41 AM

    Ex,

    I will let the viewers determine who is making Balsy calls and nailing them in “ real terms”.
    I won’t get into further discussions as it takes away from the value we all bring.

    For the record I think you bring value but I’m sure you will through another jab at me.

      Jul 22, 2020 22:01 AM

      Glenfidish, I think you bring value as well man, but you keep going after me in your comments and then mistating what I said. That is frustrating to anyone that has their words twisted around.

      As a reminder, you got bent out of shape when you thought I or other users had misquoted you, but now it’s a jab to you if I clarify what I said and reposted the exact passages to clear up any confusion on whether I have been bullish on Silver?

      Look, what I have been writing has been the same thing since early June, and what I wrote on Friday is posted up above clear as day for you or anyone else to read. If you go and reread the comments I posted on Friday or any of the similar messages on prior blogs the message has been consistently bullish.

      > For the record I could care less about anyone making “balsy calls” and I’ve shared the info on what I was looking at technically over and over again in the spirit of sharing the info, helping others know what resistance levels to look for in a bullish confirmation, and because you keep asking me, but then restating back to me what you think I’ve said inaccurately. So I posted the same message to you now over and over again.

      I have been bullish on Silver, celebrated Friday’s weekly close at $19.76 above the 2019 high of $19.75, stated the next line in the sand was $21.23 over and over, and that after that real fireworks would start in the miners when Silver gets up into the low $20s. That was all way in advance. For over a year I’ve stated that when (not if) Silver gets over the 2016 high and north of $22 that all the producers will be making money (even the higher cost ones like Santacruz and Endeavour Silver), and so it’s all been said a million times. I’m not sure where the confusion on your end is coming from.

      Regardless, as I stated I appreciate your thoughts and opinions, and hope to hell that Silver does make it to $30 by the end of this year, as I’m loaded to the gills in Silver stocks. I’ve been bullish on Silver all year, and bought as many Silver stocks as I could from mid-March to April, and have been having the best year every, have the highest account value ever by a landside, and had my 2 best trading days ever on Monday and Tuesday. I’m thrilled with the action in Silver amigo, but still believe there will be some serious overhead resistance to contend with at the $26 – $26.50 level so I’ll be surprised if Silver can make it up to $30 by year end. If it does then great. I could care less if it gets there in 2020 or 2021 because it will get here, and in the meantime there are huge gains being made in the miners, which is all I really care about when tracking the metals prices anyway.

      Ever Upward!

    Jul 22, 2020 22:51 AM

    For the record I don’t think you or anyone else is not making balsy calls just speaking for myself. Again I really want to stop this back and forth nonsense and really post what we all think is happening and more importantly as I was asked if you see a “ red flag” meaning a turn down mention it and support it.

    Cheers

    Cfs thanks yes we need to have thick skin thanks for the support no worries here. I think most in here are good people and bring so much value with experience alone. The stubborn part of us sometimes brings out the not so nice but that’s what it is.

    Good the value of physical gold and silver has nothing to do with the value of a mining company. The next thing you know those involved in mine development and producing will want the market to set the price of their goods sold rather than a paper trading Banker. Go figure.
