This Junior Gold Miner is Trading at Less Than One Third of its Book Value

This Junior Gold Miner is Trading at Less Than One Third of its Book Value
Gold and silver mining stocks are going through a pullback after jumping considerably in the first quarter of 2014. Despite the correction in gold mining equities, I have searched for undervalued gold situations with large deposits and the financing to advance the project. Eventually, the junior gold and silver stocks will rebound magnificently from these historic oversold levels. Value investing contrarians look at this junior gold miner trading at less than one third of its book value.

Ucore Rare Metals Marches Closer To Production On Alaskan Bond Approval

Ucore Rare Metals Marches Closer To Production On Alaskan Bond Approval
Attention must be paid to the heavy rare earth sectors which is dominated by the Chinese. Tensions are increasing between the West (US, Europe and Japan) and the East (China and Russia) over trade, territories and natural resources. No where is this more apparent than in the rare earth metals. These metals are critical for our high tech military applications, permanent magnets and green energy. The U.S. imports close to 100% of this material from China. This may soon change as the Alaskan Legislature unanimously approved a $145 million bond which will allow Alaska to issue bonds for Ucore Rare Metals (UCU.V or UURAF) Bokan Heavy Rare Earth Deposit. All 38 Alaskan representatives in attendance voted in favor of the bill which would allow Alaska to fund the infrastructure and capital costs at the mine.

Why Niocorp (NB.V or NIOBF) Is Soaring Over 230% in 2014

Why Niocorp (NB.V or NIOBF) Is Soaring Over 230% in 2014
Niocorp is soaring 230% in 2014 and has reached a short term overbought condition. New investors should look for a healthy pullback or consolidation to the 20 or 50 day moving averages. See my recent interview with CEO Mark Smith. Mark built Molycorp (MCP) from hardly nothing to a billion dollar company...Niocorp (NB.V or NIOBF) may be his next major project he brings into production.

Palladium Breaks $800 As Economic Sanctions Stifle Russian Miners

Palladium Breaks $800 As Economic Sanctions Stifle Russian Miners
For weeks, I warned you that palladium was on the verge of a breakout past $800. Now it is hitting new two year highs as the U.S. threatens Russia, the world's largest supplier of this precious and industrial metal used to control pollution from automobiles. In addition, strikes from miners in South Africa, the second biggest palladium producer is putting strain on the supply side. Demand for automobiles is growing most notably from China who needs palladium desperately to reduce toxic air emissions in their smog filled urban areas. Demand is exceeding supply now for several years.

Why These 2 NYSE Gold Producers are Buying This Junior During a Bear Market

Why These 2 NYSE Gold Producers are Buying This Junior During a Bear Market
Gold is gaining strength as it may soon close above the 50 day after reversing above the 200 day moving average after falling below that level last week. That may have been a shakeout of weak hands below the 200 day as it appears in 2014 money has been moving from the overbought equity market into the undervalued commodities in the form of junior miners. Look for a close above the 50 day at $1310. Investors may be preparing for the eventual reinflation, which may have been sparked by Yellen's taper. The U.S. dollar and general equity market appears to be forming a rounding top while gold, silver and the junior miners are seeing increased accumulation a higher lows typical of new bull market moves. The key now is asset preservation in a rising interest rate, inflationary environment. I still believe gold, silver and the industrial metals specifically PGM's, nickel and uranium could soar. These are the areas that I believe are the safest to be when interest rates are negative and when Central Banks are continuing to fire up the printing press engines. The overbought social media and marijuana stocks with no earnings could be just beginning to bust. Look at all the IPO's in social media and pot stocks reminding us of the Dot.Com craze. While these stocks come back to earth the junior miners could actually soar as The Fed may have to reverse their taper moves and actually increase quantitative easing to deal with the aftermath of the tech/marijuana bubble bursting.

Look for Leverage to a Rising Gold Price with this Undervalued Junior Miner
Smart gold investors such as Toqueville Gold, Anglogold Ashanti and Paulson are still holding onto their shares of this stock and we actually may be witnessing increased accumulation over the past five months. Since the release of the Feasibility Study the stock has soared over 180% outperforming the GDXJ and the GLD. Why was there an increased share price despite the sell recommendations of the banks and brokerage houses after the Feasibility was published? Because Ithe Project offers one of the best leveraged vehicles to a rising gold price.

Battery Market Is Powering Up Demand For This Lithium Asset In Nevada

Battery Market Is Powering Up Demand For This Lithium Asset In Nevada
The recent news that electric car maker Tesla (TSLA) is planning to construct the biggest lithium-ion battery plant right here in the USA may be validating our long term buy and hold investment thesis in this once ignored sector. Tesla has announced that they are planning to produce an affordable electric car for the US market within three years. This is a huge catalyst for the North American lithium and graphite miners who will be able to supply companies like Tesla. Battery manufacturing could be a major area of economic growth over the coming decades. Similar to the internal combustion engine, lithium-ion batteries could revolutionize transportation over the coming decades and reduce the world's carbon emissions. Tesla has a market cap of $31 billion and may now be on the lookout for some of our lithium and graphite juniors in North America that we have been writing about for many years that are still trading for pennies on the dollar but are on the verge of major breakouts.

China Must Look Abroad For Metals and Energy To Support Growth

China Must Look Abroad For Metals and Energy To Support Growth
Headlines about a Chinese economic slowdown may get good web traffic, but the real story is that China is buying up uranium and other resources around the world, says Gold Stock Trades writer Jeb Handwerger. Meanwhile, tensions in Russia highlight the massive country's resource dominance in natural gas, oil, uranium, platinum group metals, rare earths and nickel. Handwerger tells The Mining Report that North America is already acting to develop resources that can meet both domestic and international demand—and this global geopolitical uncertainty is an investment opportunity.

Nickel Price Breaking Into New 6 Month Highs On Crimean Crisis and Indonesian Export Ban

Nickel Price Breaking Into New 6 Month Highs On Crimean Crisis and Indonesian Export Ban
In late January I told all my subscribers that its time to watch nickel as Indonesia instituted an export ban cutting off possibly a quarter of global supply. Now six weeks later the nickel price powers through the critical $7 mark and Bloomberg writes an article entitled "Nickel Heads for Bull Market..." Its better to be six weeks early, then late. Why is nickel so important and breaking out past $7?

Gold-Silver Producer In Nevada Outperforming Peers

Gold-Silver Producer In Nevada Outperforming Peers
For many months, I highlighted the rising demand for precious metals from investors looking to diversify away from declining fiat currencies most notably out of Chinese and Indian investors. The new Fed Chair Yellen may be sparking off an inflationary rally as gold and silver appear to breaking above key technical levels. At the end of 2013, mostly no one wanted to own gold and silver bullion and definitely didn’t want the junior gold and silver miners as the price of gold declined from $1900 to below $1200 and silver declined from $50 to below $19. I called it a historic holiday discount buying season. Many who believed prices would continue lower and shorted may now be covering as gold and silver breakout and regain the 200 day moving averages and hit new four month highs.
