Dave Erfle – Junior Mining Bull Market Trends: Financings, Earnings Season, and Gold & Silver Momentum

Cory
July 18, 2025

 

Dave Erfle, Founder and Editor of Junior Miner Junky, joins me to share insights on the accelerating momentum in the precious metals sector.

 

In this discussion we cover:

  • Financing trends: A surge in capital flowing into PEA‑stage juniors, with major strategic partners taking large stakes in recent $30M+ financings.

  • Sector strength: Miners and juniors showing relative strength as gold consolidates near $3,300 and silver breaks out, with the gold:silver ratio trending lower.

  • Earnings season outlook: Why companies like Newmont could deliver significantly higher cash flow with gold ~$400/oz above Q1 levels.

  • Copper market dynamics: Tariff-driven moves, record backwardation between U.S. and LME markets, and the potential for explorers to catch renewed investor interest.

Dave also shares portfolio management insights, noting when he takes profits on big winners and where he’s looking for new opportunities – particularly in copper juniors.

 

Watch for:

  • Signs of a sustainable bull market as financings are bought, not sold.
  • A rotation of capital further down the food chain to riskier juniors.
  • Key support levels: gold $3,300/$3,200 and silver $37.50, setting up for potential runs toward $4,000 gold and $50 silver later this year.

          Hi Dan, do you remember how Bob Barker used to say, “get your pet spayed or neutered”, meanwhile he’s down at the beach looking at all “The Tops and Bottoms”. Thats some mine site. LOL! DT

            Haha! You guys make me laugh. This vacation was mining my pockets “at depth and along strike…” 😉

            The family vacation was great though, and I just got back in late last night, and was catching up today on a week of missed market moves and hundreds of emails… Yikes!

            I’ve got some good interviews set up for next week though, so stay tuned…

            Yes DT…. I did make it to a few beaches along the journey!

            Cheers!

    Unloaded half of my AG yesterday – I don’t like the bearish engulfing on weekly for Silver miners. They maybe done for the summer but then who knows.

    I sure didn’t know that I was going to buy Kootenay today but that’s what happened after it went through a trapdoor. I got filled at 1.09, 1.08 and 1.07 (about 31% off of Monday’s high).
