Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to review why the value proposition in the exploration alpha plays are based around news catalysts and milestones, more so that higher metals prices. For this very reason, he’s less interested in the sector sentiment turns we’ve seen in the valuations of producers and advanced developers in the higher underlying metals price environment, and more animated by the fundamental prospectivity of the explorers that haven’t moved up as much yet, but have the biggest potential for gains if they deliver on their thesis and make a discovery and define a significant future economic deposit.
Erik discusses some of the nuances around valuing the potential upside in gold and copper exploration companies, that have compelling drill targets, large strategic shareholders that have already vetting the projects and management teams, are in the right jurisdictions, and that have the potential for rapid upside moves if they make compelling discoveries while expanding resources.
