Pro Buying Tips for Junior Mining Tax-loss Selling Season with Investor David Erfle
Investor David Erfle offers pro buying tips for junior mining tax-loss selling season in this MSE episode. He also discusses where he expects the gold price to go under Trump. Furthermore, David shares how he is positioning his junior mining portfolio and reveals what he considers when selling a junior mining stock.
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.

Targa Discovers Anomalous Gold in Boulders Across a 7km Gold Till Trend explains CEO Cameron Tymstra
“Finding anomalous gold values in a dozen samples, including up to 6.7g/t, on the first ever prospecting trip to the target trend is a huge success for the project and our team”, commented Targa CEO, Cameron Tymstra. “Every trip we have made to Opinaca we have come back with more encouraging data to support our thesis that a gold system exists in the area. We have gone from a geochemical anomaly to a 7km trend supported by gold grain data and now for the first time we have found anomalous gold in boulders spread across the trend. We are continuing to work with Kenorland Minerals to make plans for a return to Opinaca in 2025 to continue advancing the project towards discovery.”
Targa’s Opinaca project in in the James Bay region of Quebec saw a 5km x 4km gold-in-till anomaly discovered in late 2023. Targa acquired 100% ownership of the Opinaca Project from Kenorland Minerals in December 2022. As experts at gold-in-till anomalies, Kenorland remains the operator of the project to the benefit of Targa shareholders. The June 2024 exploration program has concluded and the company is planning to commence a Sept 2024 work program shortly.

“This Is Just the Beginning” says Coppernico Metals’ Ivan Bebek - Initial Sombrero Project Results
Ivan Bebek, Chair and CEO, commented, “We are well-financed and in the early stages of our budgeted 30-hole core drill program (49 holes permitted), with eight holes completed and assays back from our first five holes. We are highly encouraged with the early indications of the mineralized porphyry/skarn system in hole 4 on the edge of our Hojota target vectoring toward stronger mineralization, and the technical team advancing at a great pace.
The efforts to expand our permits to allow for additional holes and drill rigs reflect our increased confidence in the system and multiple targets, as we look forward to receiving the results of the next holes and continuing to drill the target-rich skarn and porphyry system. This is just the beginning of an opportunity that could provide multiple significant copper and gold targets and discoveries.”

Fury Targets a New Gold Discovery Near Newmont’s Éléonore Mine explains CEO Tim Clark
“Since acquiring 100% ownership of the Éléonore South joint venture earlier this year from Newmont, the Éléonore style anomaly has been at the top of our prospective list,” commented Tim Clark, CEO of Fury. “Given the size, scale, and proximity to Newmont’s Éléonore Mine, we believe any success could create potential upside for investors and thus we are excited to commence drilling in Q1 of 2025.”
Fury Gold Mines has finalized drill targeting after completing a surficial geochemical survey at the Éléonore South gold project located in the Eeyou Istchee Territory in the James Bay region of Quebec. Drilling will target robust geochemical gold anomalies within the same sedimentary rock package that hosts Newmont’s Éléonore Mine. The completed biogeochemical sampling survey covered an interpreted fold nose within the Low Formation sediments where an orientation level study identified a large-scale gold anomaly in a similar geological, geophysical, and structural setting to that of the nearby Éléonore Mine (see news release dated March 5, 2024). Six priority drill targets across over 3 kilometres of prospective folded sedimentary stratigraphy have been identified. These six targets encompass multi point gold anomalies above the 90th percentile of the data and correlate with moderate pathfinder elemental anomalies, most notably arsenic which is associated with gold mineralization at the Éléonore Mine. The Company intends to mobilize crews in Q1 2025 for an initial fully funded 3,000 – 5,000 metre diamond drilling program.
CEO Tim Clark and SVP Exploration Bryan Atkinson provide a company update in this MSE episode.

Proven Formula for Resource Stock 9-Baggers Revealed by Pro Small-Cap Investor Mark Zaret
Pro Small-Cap Investor Mark Zaret Reveals his proven formula for resource stock 9-baggers. He recaps the investment rationale for the stock pick Tenaz Energy he shared on MSE in October 2022 when the stock was only $1.40/share. Today, it is over $13.00/share. Throughout the interview, Mark shares his approach to small cap speculating which has produced tremendous wealth for himself over the decades.
Mark began investing in the early 1990’s and achieved a significant net worth by focusing on Canadian micro-cap companies, especially junior resource stocks. Success was achieved through a disciplined approach of investing primarily in early life-cycle companies with low market caps, high insider ownership, and executive boards with strong credentials. Mark is currently working at Spartan Fund Management as an analyst and strategist in the area of small and micro-cap investing. Be inspired and educated by a 30-year mining stock veteran in this interview.

“We’re Not in a Crazy Junior Gold Bull Market…Yet,” says Dr. Nicole Adshead-Bell
“Despite the strong gold price environment we are in, a lot of juniors in the gold space are still really struggling…to raise money. That to me shows we are not in a crazy bull market. A crazy bull market is moose pasture in the middle of nowhere being able to raise thirty million dollars at a drop of a hat. To me that is the sell signal…we have not yet seen the generalist into this sector,” shared Dr. Adshead-Bell. She also provided commentary on the best practices for investing in the junior gold mining sector.
Nicole Adshead-Bell is the Director of Cupel Advisory. She is a PhD geologist by trade and has worked in the resource sector for more than 24 years. Her roles within the sector have varied from analyst to M&A facilitator to junior resource company board member.
