Thoughts

I still think gold juniors have the best risk/reward on average with some trading far below their value (on paper). Gold majors doesn’t look that cheap. Silver juniors are very “hot” and not really cheap even though silver is cheap. Base metal juniors have poor economics for their projects with the current base metals prices but could be considered big time optionality (beta) plays. Some large cap base metal miners look pretty cheap.

… I personally see no obvious reason to hunt for good cases outside gold juniors at the moment.

R/R in my opinion:

  • Gold juniors > Gold majors
  • Silver > Gold
  • Silver > Silver juniors
  • Gold juniors > Silver juniors
  • Base metal majors > Base metal juniors
