It's a well know fact that large discoveries in base metals are becoming more and more scarce. As the years go by it's becoming increasingly difficult to identify deposits through the traditional methods of outcropping and drilling. With the demand for base and precious metals on the rise, it is imperative that miners use all the tools available to them...

*Note I am subject to a confidentiality agreement with RNC. All of the below observations regarding the mine are my own, and all related information is either minor or reflected in the company’s current public disclosure.

The area was a hotbed for prospecting and people from all over the world made their way into WA for the opportunity to stake a claim and find Gold. Amongst those prospectors was a man by...

Trading psychology is a topic that i've been thinking about more and more lately.  While psychology is an important aspect of trading all markets, I believe it is especially useful to delve into in more detail for those who trade junior mining shares. Due to their high volatility and opaque nature, junior mining stocks can be especially treacherous for those who...

  I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Vilhjamur Vilhjalmsson (Ceo of St. George eco mining). Villi has been an enigma since he took over the role as CEO in August, as he chose to take a different approach than Frank and limit his interactions with shareholders. However, he was very welcoming and I must say, I rather...
