In this Daily Editorial, we chat with Dave Erfle, Founder and Editor of Junior Miner Junky, to break down a historic month of volatility in the precious metals sector. As March 2026 comes to a close, the markets are witnessing a significant rebound following a “nasty” monthly candle that saw major pullbacks across the board.

Key Discussion Points:

• Analyzing the March Correction: A look at the significant monthly drops in GDX and GDXJ, contrasted against gold’s impressive all-time high quarterly close.
• Geopolitical Catalysts: How shifting rhetoric regarding the conflict in Iran and potential threats to infrastructure are tossing the gold price between positive and negative extremes.
• Macroeconomic Pressures: Insight into Jerome Powell’s Harvard speech addressing the “unsustainable” path of U.S. debt and its long-term implications for hard assets.
• Technical Benchmarks for Recovery: The specific price targets Dave is watching for GDX and GDXJ to confirm the deleveraging phase is over.
• Selective Investing in Juniors: Why Dave is prioritizing cash-rich developers with strategic partners over high-retail-float explorers in the current environment.
• The Importance of Strategic Partnerships: A discussion on why a “de-risked” project – one with a feasibility study and a major partner – is a “big green flag” for investors.
