Junior Rare Earth Miner Soars On State of Alaska Support

Junior Rare Earth Miner Soars On State of Alaska Support
No other rare earth company I know of has been given the local support like this one has received from the State of Alaska. Shareholders and management are very thankful to the state as the value of this asset should continue to soar on this historic and unprecedented local geopolitical support. This is the first time that I have seen a state actually propose financial support to a rare earth mine. A heavy rare earth project like this could be bring huge economic opportunities and jobs to Southeast Alaska and restore U.S. independence. This may signify that this rare earth miner has regained itself as the U.S. leader in the heavy rare earth race. Look for a bullish golden crossover after this historic and high volume technical breakout.

Focus on Stable Platinum and Palladium Miners in N. America
The platinum and palladium market has grown substantially in the past generation in its use in catalytic converters to reduce noxious air emissions such as carbon monoxide and particulate matter from automobiles. The use of catalytic converters in the developed countries has reduced emissions drastically. However, demand is rising for catalytic converters in China as the government may be instituting increased regulations to reduce toxic air emissions. There is a major health concern in major cities in China due to thick and dark smog. The large cities are increasing regulations to control air emissions to alleviate this dangerous problem.

Resource Sector Should Heat Up with M&A in 2014

Resource Sector Should Heat Up with M&A in 2014
The resource sector is heating up with merger and acquisition activity as I predicted only a few weeks ago in this recent article. When the herd was ignoring our sector I positioned my readers ahead of the curve and called it a rare holiday bargain sale. Now only a few weeks later the resource sector is leading the market as evidenced by the outperformance of the TSX Venture Index over the Dow Jones Industrial Average and rise above its 200 day moving average. A huge influx of money has been rotating from the overvalued blue chips, social media, bank and real estate sectors into the junior mining resource stocks. This chart below shows that the Venture Dow Ratio is breaking out above the 200 day for the first time in three years. Look for a bullish golden crossover of the 10 and 40 week moving average for a confirmation of the bottom. Goldcorp (GG) is launching a hostile takeover for Osisko Mining (OSK.TO) for $2.6 billion. Goldcorp is going after Malartic low grade-bulk tonnage Malartic Gold Mine. If Goldcorp is buying a low grade, high production asset then they probably think gold prices are headed significantly higher unlike the pundits on the TV.

Corvus Gold (KOR.TO or CORVF) Makes New 52 Week High: Leading The Junior Gold Mining Sector

Corvus Gold (KOR.TO or CORVF) Makes New 52 Week High: Leading The Junior Gold Mining Sector
I wrote a few weeks ago, “Corvus may now bounce off its 50 day moving average at $1.15 and breakthrough resistance at $1.30. The next target would be all time highs at $1.80.” I also sent out this chart several weeks ago.Corvus is now testing the major resistance of all time highs at $1.80. The next possible breakout is the 2012 high right here at $1.80. If Corvus breaks through that high, then it would be my subscribers second time since 2011 of making a double on this top notch junior gold miner.

Technicals Finally Reflecting Fundamentals In Resource Sector With Bullish Breakouts

Technicals Finally Reflecting Fundamentals In Resource Sector With Bullish Breakouts
It may seem like a confusing time to be a mining investor, but Jeb Handwerger, of Gold Stock Trades, insists it doesn't take a rocket scientist. "Stick to the fundamentals," he says. "The technicals will eventually reflect the fundamentals." In this interview withThe Mining Report from early December, Handwerger talks about what companies have the right foundation to shine after the market dusts itself off and starts to climb. As Jeb said in the interview, "Some people are thinking about leaving the sector. That's not the right approach. Gains could be exponential in the coming weeks. The right approach is to rotate into situations that will outperform, even if gold and silver stay flat. Stick to advisors who are finding the most compelling situations. Corrections take longer than people expect—the longer and the deeper the base, the more powerful the eventual upswing. It could be huge with the record amount of cash on the sidelines and the large number of shorts who may need to cover their position." Since this interview was published the Venture Index has jumped close to 100 points and broke the 200 day moving average.

Resource Sector Starts 2014 With A Boom Higher: TSX Venture Up 11 Consecutive Days
Eventually, these downturns end in the resource sector and when they do massive rebounds begin. When you see record shorts like we are seeing now in gold it usually signals a major bullish turning point imminently ahead. The taper is not a signal to sell gold but to possibly buy. Inflation should start to pick up. Notice gold and silver are still holding the summer 2013 lows and the TSX Venture is breaking above the 200 day moving average. The TSX Venture is up 11 straight days. The small miners are a leading indicator and may be signaling the smart money is expecting gold to hold the $1200 bottom. This technical reversal may forecast increased interest of smart capital into the sector. This improving technical landscape in our featured companies and the TSX Venture closing above the 200 day moving average while gold and silver is basing may signify that the recent taper and improving economy may actually be the beginning of a coming boom to the entire resource complex.
