U.S. Must Secure Heavy Rare Earths From This Alaskan Mine

U.S. Must Secure Heavy Rare Earths From This Alaskan Mine
Wars are being fought all over the world over control on natural resources. Attention is focussed on Eastern Europe and the Middle East particularly Iraq. I am greatly concerned that not enough is being done by the U.S. to secure critical materials of heavy rare earths needed for cruise missiles and our latest military technologies. We still rely completely on China despite their export cuts and warnings to the West to mine and refine your own rare earths. Heavy rare earths are increasingly needed in permanent magnets crucial for some of our defense technologies. China has been warning the world for years that they will cut exports. The U.S. can't be reliant on another country for these basic elements. One day we could wake up left out in the cold and naked if we don't start getting our act together. The Alaskans understand the importance of strategic metals and are financially supporting this junior heavy rare earth developer...

Time To Buy The Junior Gold Miners in Nevada?

Time To Buy The Junior Gold Miners in Nevada?
During this gold correction, miners needed to focus on lower cost targets. For Barrick and Newmont their Nevada gold production has the lowest cash costs in the world and are much less risky politically than mines in other locations. Newmont paid high prices for Fronteer Gold (FRG) back in 2011, which I owned and recommended to my subscribers back in 2010 for its Long Canyon deposit located in Nevada. Discoveries in Nevada fetch a high premium compared to assets in more hostile places. Here is another discovery to pay attention to...

Why This Niobium Company Is Up Close to 500% in the Past Year

Why This Niobium Company Is Up Close to 500% in the Past Year
For over two years since this major CBMM multi-billion dollar niobium deal with the emerging Eastern nations I have tried to educate investors about the importance of niobium. I found Iamgold's Niobec asset but wanted to see if there were any similar opportunities in the junior market as that is where a studious investor can find the greatest leverage to the metal. In late 2011, I found an asset in Nebraska that looked even better than Iamgold's Niobec as it is higher grade. I recommended it to my subscribers and bought a position in early 2012. Since that time the company has soared more than 400% far outperforming the S&P500.

Time For Junior Mining Investors to “Wake Up” from Summer Doldrums

Time For Junior Mining Investors to “Wake Up” from Summer Doldrums
The Junior Gold Miner ETF(GDXJ) is already up 15% this month. With geopolitical tensions increasing in the Middle East and Eastern Europe get ready for a big breakout at $1400 on gold. The move in the junior miners and silver could be huge and provide great leverage. Also watch the oil price making a big jump as all of Iraq's oil is at jeopardy of being lost as Al Qaeda takes over key areas. Higher energy prices could influence the inflationary forces hear in the United States creating a possible stagflation. Remember the US, European and Japanese economies are not growing, yet equity and food prices are soaring. The stock market and US bonds are way overvalued, while gold, silver and junior miners are just beginning to breakout of a multiyear base. As accumulation continues in the precious metals look for the record short position to cover. The accumulation in high quality junior gold miners is happening right before our very eyes. Look at this junior in Quebec who is getting major investment interest specifically from the Chinese....

Why Capital May Be Flowing From Equities to Junior Miners in 2014

Why Capital May Be Flowing From Equities to Junior Miners in 2014
The gold (GLD) and silver (SLV) price may be reversing over the next couple of weeks. The junior miner gold ETF (GDXJ) is reversing above the 50 day moving average and breaking above its recent three month downtrend. When the huge cash positions waiting on the sidelines or taking profits in the equity market rising on low volume return to the ignored resource sector the gains could be huge. Already the volume in GDXJ in 2014, has jumped outpacing 2012 and 2013. On the other hand the S&P500 has been rising on light volume which is often a warning sign that the extended rally is getting exhausted. This indicates to me that possibly the large institutions are accumulating the juniors after all the retail investors jumped ship. Prices could jump rapidly in the Toronto Venture Exchange where most of the legit junior miners are traded. These small cap juniors could gap higher as the major institutions are hardly exposed to the mining sector at all. It appears that some of my charts are showing a potential reversal in the precious metals. Get ready for an incredible bounce higher in precious metals. Here are five reasons why.
