Today, I got some very welcome and exciting news about one of my favorite small cap gold stocks. I can’t go into detail in fairness to my paying readers, but if you’re in my Golden Portfolio IV or 10X service, you know what I’m talking about.
In short, I’ve been waiting for this company to reveal progress on its main gold project. Today, they announced major progress on a project that will eventually grow their mine output by 4X. I knew this news was coming, but didn’t know when. The stock is up 188% in 2025, and 323% since I added it to my GP10X portfolio. I expect it to eventually rise much more, in part thanks to this news.
With these smaller companies, it doesn’t take much to move the stock. Almost all of the mining stocks I cover only have a handful of projects.
Some have just one or two gold mines they’re developing. That means that in effect, any good news about one of their projects has an immediate and significant impact on their valuation.
Imagine if a massive company had the same kind of impactful news – affecting the bulk of its value. Like if Walmart announced that 75% of their stores had grown sales by two-fold over the previous year. Or more aptly, imagine if Newmont gold had major beneficial news drop about 30 of its ongoing projects, all at once. That’s not going to happen, but if it did, the stock would absolutely soar.
That’s the kind of exciting impact a single catalyst can have for these small gold miners. They’re all one single skinny tetris piece away from a major impact to their valuation.
That’s part of the reason I mostly focus on small companies in my paid services.
But there are a few other reasons for my focus on small companies. For one, even among the best companies in this niche of the market, there’s very little or no analyst coverage.
That means I might be one of a handful of professionals looking at them with any real scrutiny or high level analysis.
I might be the first and only analyst covering a company…
Meanwhile, large cap gold miners like Barrick and Newmont have many dozens of analysts covering them. There’s no stone unturned with the majors.
It’s easy to have an edge over the market when I know my analysis is the best/only analysis out there.
History Says Gold Wins When This Signal Flashes — and It’s Flashing Now
Every time the Buffett Indicator has hit extreme levels, stocks have crashed — and gold has dominated the decade that followed. Today, the Buffett Indicator is at its highest reading in history… and Buffett himself is sitting on an unprecedented $325 billion cash pile. Sources say he’s preparing to deploy it — not into stocks, but into gold. Garrett Goggin has uncovered which gold company could be his next big move.
You might be wondering why these companies have little or no attention paid to them by large investment firms, hedge funds, or the like. Part of this lack of coverage is because gold has been out of favor. I’ve talked about central banks buying gold over the past 10 years or so – but you have to remember, that buying comes after 4+ decades of banks ditching gold.
All of this new attention to gold feels strange – because we’ve been living in bizarro world for the past 5 decades, and what’s happening to gold is really just a return to normalcy. I know it is disorienting!
Gold miners, right or wrong, also tend to be viewed as high risk ventures – especially the juniors.
Another reason: most of these firms are so small that they’re not worth the time or attention of large institutional investors. A hedge fund like Ray Dalio’s Bridgewater or a holding company like Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway can’t move the needle buying $100 million companies.
Even if their stake jumps 10X and they own the whole firm, that’s only a $900 million bump. Berkshire is a $1 trillion firm. A $900 million gain is less than 1/10 of 1% of their market cap…
So we have a big advantage by sticking with small gold stocks. It doesn’t take much good news to push them higher, and right now, we’re in the sweet spot for the bulk of my favorite firms.
It’s good, but I believe it’s going to get better.
Don’t miss this ride.
Best,
