Eric Sprott’s Latest Video: What He Said… and What He Didn’t

Eric Sprott’s Latest Video: What He Said… and What He Didn’t

NIA Commentary

We just watched the new video of Eric Sprott discussing New Found Gold (TSXV: NFG) and Americas Gold and Silver (TSX: USA).

Notably, he did not mention Highlander Silver (TSX: HSLV) or Heliostar Metals (TSXV: HSTR)—two of his best-performing investments.

That’s perfectly fine. Those companies don’t need promotion. They are executing and performing on their own merits. Frankly, we prefer they remain undiscovered.

A cleaner way to play New Found Gold:

If New Found Gold (TSXV: NFG) performs well, EarthLabs (TSXV: SPOT) should do even better due to its royalty exposure to the Queensway Project. If NFG continues to dilute, SPOT has far less downside risk.
Americas Gold & Silver — without mentioning antimony

When discussing Americas Gold and Silver (TSX: USA), Eric did not mention antimony — the primary driver behind its elevated valuation.

NevGold (TSXV: NAU) controls what we believe is the best antimony project in the United States and is nearing a maiden U.S. antimony–gold resource. Its market cap is roughly 1/17th of USA.

Comparison Americas Gold & Silver (TSX: USA) NevGold (TSXV: NAU)
Main driver Antimony exposure U.S. antimony/gold resource
Valuation Priced for success ~1/17th of USA
Risk / reward Limited upside vs risk Highly asymmetric

Mathematically, which offers the better risk/reward?

We agree with Eric Sprott’s praise of Discovery Silver (TSX: DSV) and its “theft of the century” acquisition of Porcupine from Newmont. However, Eric has begun selling Discovery — sensible given how overvalued it has become.
Eric is also buying more Hycroft Mining (HYMC). He may be right, and we may be wrong, especially given recent high-grade silver discoveries. However, we remain concerned about how much HYMC has become a meme stock.

Regardless, it is always valuable to hear Eric Sprott’s thoughts directly. We only wish he released these updates more often.
