Why Is This Junior Gold Developer in Quebec Outperforming GDXJ By Such a Wide Margin in 2015?

Why Is This Junior Gold Developer in Quebec Outperforming GDXJ By Such a Wide Margin in 2015?
Over the past four years we have seen a huge rise in the general equity markets while most of the junior gold miners have been forgotten. These bear markets in natural resources when financing dries up and mines are closed fuels the next bull market as the supply dries up. The larger and more severe the decline, the greater the subsequent rise. Exploration budgets for metals and energy have been cut drastically over the past few years. Where will the new mines come from once demand picks up?

Junior Uranium Mining Breakout in Second Half of 2015?
The big story over the second half of 2015 could be the junior uranium mining breakout, which I expected could be accelerated by moves from emerging economies such as China and India. The recent deal between Canada's Cameco and India could be the catalyst as highlighted in my previous article. I was quoted in Marketwatch and The Daily Reckoning stating my beliefs that large gains could be made in the nuclear energy sector. Keep an eye on this junior which may just be breaking out.

Major Bullish Breakout in Precious Metals and Copper, Two Junior Miners Lead OTCQX in 2014
Mining is not dead and still leads to the best outsized gains if you do your homework as evidenced by two of our top recommendations in 2014. Two of my featured Junior Mining Stocks lead the entire OTCQX in 2014, a global marketplace with over 10k public companies in all sectors. This is amazing as it occurred during the worst bear market in mining history and the huge bubble in biotech, housing and financials. Despite this macro trend against wealth in the earth assets two of our featured companies rose to the top of the entire marketplace. #1 Western Lithium, #2 Niocorp. Western Lithium had a 2,566% increase in daily traded volume in 2014 while Niocorp gained 394% on the year.

Canadian Government Supports Chinese Partnership on Rare Earth Processing in Ontario
The rare earth sector is reawakening as China looks to develop a foreign rare earth supply. The Chinese markets are soaring and so is demand for magnet rare earth materials which is jumping in price. China may be going from a slowdown in their economy to a speed up. China's stock markets are soaring under the new government. Rare earths are a critical part of the Chinese economy and now they are taking a major step in looking to advance rare earth supplies outside of China especially in North America. The Chinese have seen the exponential increase in demand of these magnet materials especially in clean energy and want to benefit over the next generation by expanding their rare earth processing capabilities worldwide. For many years I alerted my readers to the possibility that even the Chinese may look to invest in rare earths outside of China.

Where Is Tesla Going To Get The Lithium and Graphite for The “Gigafactory”?

Where Is Tesla Going To Get The Lithium and Graphite for The “Gigafactory”?
Lithium Ion batteries aren't just for cars and mobile computing. For months, I highlighted the growing use of lithium-ion batteries for energy storage solutions. Tesla Motors (TSLA) known for making top notch electric cars is making a major move into building battery systems aimed at residences, commercial buildings and for power companies.These batteries could provide the answer for intermittent energy sources like sun or wind which is dependent on the weather. Solar or wind is great but what happens when the sun goes down or the wind isn't blowing. Tesla believes they can provide the solution through rechargeable lithium ion batteries that can be placed in homes or businesses storing energy and providing stability for intermittent renewable sources. Tesla has spent millions of dollars in battery research for their electric cars, now management believes that they can use that technology outside of the automobile sector. So where does the real opportunity lie? The real question is where will the raw material needed for these Tesla batteries come from? Does Tesla have any off-take arrangements yet?
