Gold stock fund manager and Austrian economist Larry Lepard shared, “It’s tough. The gold stock climate is as bad as I’ve seen it. But I ain’t selling. I ain’t selling. In fact, I’m moving around and selling some of the things that have not been hit quite as bad to buy some of the real bargains that I see. The bargains out here are just stunning. It does not feel good to buy in these kinds of conditions. But history says that if you do buy in these kinds of conditions, you can be very well rewarded for it.”

$GDXJ and $SILJ Rebalancing Explained by Pro Mining Investor David Erfle
In this interview pro mining investor David Erfle provides his commentary on the gold price and junior gold stock sector. He explains the recent GDXJ and SILJ rebalancing and how it affected many junior miners. David Erfle is a self-taught mining sector investor. He stumbled upon the mining space in 2003 as he was looking to invest into a growing sector of the market. After researching the gains made from the 2001 bottom in the tiny gold and silver complex, he became fascinated with this niche market. So much so that in 2005 he decided to sell his home and invest the entire proceeds from the sale into junior mining companies. When his account had tripled by September, 2007, he decided to quit his job as the Telecommunications Equipment Buyer at UCLA and make investing in this sector his full-time job. David founded the Junior Miner Junky subscription-based newsletter in April, 2017 and writes a weekly column for precious metals news service Kitco.com, whose website attracts nearly a million visits every day.

Prospera Energy Could Possibly QUADRUPLE Reserves with Successful EOR says Director Brian McConnell
In this MSE episode, Prospera director Brian McConnell and CEO Samuel David discuss how the company could possibly QUADRUPLE reserves and quickly ramp up to 10,000 bpd with a successful polymer flood (EOR). Brian shared: "There is so much oil in place on the pools that Prospera already has."..."Putting in a pilot, if it works, with polymer flooding could actually double or triple or quadruple the reserves easily." Brian is a seasoned oil industry expert with 47 years of experience. Notably, Brian spent 10 years as VP Exploration at Tundra Oil and Gas Ltd and helped grow their production from 4,000 bbls/d to 28,000 bbls/d light oil mainly in Manitoba.
Prospera Energy has commenced its 18 well summer drill program. The company aims, in the next 2-3 years, to reduce production costs to possibly under C$20/barrel and achieve 10,000+ boepd by optimizing current assets and through strategic acquisitions. The company has about 400 million barrels of oil in place. And Prospera’s core assets in Saskatchewan and Alberta had previously, during peak oil times when they were being fully developed by multinational oil companies, already saw (without EOR) production of over 10,000 boepd. The company has the facilities to accommodate over 10,000 boepd.
