Panic Selling Is Over, The Bounce Has Begun

The TSX Venture Composite Index is continuing to bounce from its Friday close of 911.53, which was almost exactly in line with our March 18th 910 bottom prediction (click here to see) based on historical closing prices. The TSX Venture Composite Index increased by 0.93% today to 938.98 and it looks like the panic selling is over.


Antimony is our favorite commodity right now. The shortage that led to JP Morgan taking a 3% stake in Perpetua Resources (TSX: PPTA) in October (click here to see) hasn't yet been solved. NIA's #1 favorite antimony stock suggestion NevGold (TSXV: NAU) gained by 3.48% today to $1.19 per share and its chart is setup perfectly:

NevGold (TSXV: NAU) Chart

Ever since NIA's Heliostar Metals (TSXV: HSTR) suggestion on July 15th at $1.235 per share, some NIA members have been pointing out that their exponential growth strategy to become a mid-tier gold producer with 300,000 oz annual gold production by 2030 contained an M&A component for the final 100,000 oz. We had no idea HSTR planned to acquire the Goldstrike Project in Utah, but this to us is a best-case scenario, surpassing our highest expectations… especially with its undrilled antimony prospect containing high-grade antimony rock samples! HSTR gained by 6.12% today to $2.08 per share and is beginning to bounce big from an extreme low!


This morning, NIA released one of its most important reports of 2026 (click here to see). Besides NevGold and Heliostar rising strongly today, so did every other company that we highlighted in our report:

TSX: FF  |  First Mining Gold ▲ +6.98%  → $0.46

NIA highlighted this morning that its valuation at $0.43 per share had returned to $35.95 per oz of gold resources (M+I+I), equal to 0.825% of the gold price — comparable to October 2008 at the lows of the global financial crisis! First Mining expects to receive environmental approval for Springpole in 2Q 2026, and will seek to develop Springpole into Canada's next major producing gold mine by forming a partnership with a major producing gold miner with construction/operational expertise!

TSXV: LG  |  Lahontan Gold ▲ +5.15%  → $0.3575

NIA highlighted this morning that its valuation at $0.34 per share had returned to $51.26 per oz of gold resources (M+I+I), equal to 1.1762% of the gold price — comparable to October 2008 at the lows of the global financial crisis! Lahontan Gold successfully closed today on the second tranche of a $11,676,900.04 private placement priced at $0.41 per share — a 14.69% premium above today's close. There is a four-month holding period on these shares and the ½ warrants per 1 share issued have an exercise price of $0.60 per share. Management timed this perfectly! Six weeks ago, LG formally commissioned RESPEC + Kappes Cassiday to deliver a new NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) + updated PEA!

TSXV: VAU  |  Viva Gold ▲ +3.85%  → $0.135

NIA highlighted this morning that its valuation at $0.13 per share had returned to $27.77 per oz of gold resources (M+I+I), equal to 0.6374% of the gold price — comparable to October 2008 at the lows of the global financial crisis! It doesn't look like NIA's President is going to have an opportunity to quadruple down on his position at $0.085 per share like he was hoping to do. Viva doesn't do much to make investors aware of the company, but that is the main reason we like it. On December 29th, Dundee Corporation purchased 5,240,956 shares of Viva at $0.16 per share. Dundee previously founded Kinross Gold and Viva's Tonopah Project in Nevada is near their Round Mountain Mine, one of Nevada's largest gold mines, but it is running out of ore!

TSXV: TIGR  |  Tiger Gold ▲ +6.14%  → $0.605

NIA's latest brand-new stock suggestion with a current market cap of only US$45.72 million or $21.98 per oz of current gold resourcesTIGR has just launched drilling at their Ceibal target, which doesn't yet have any gold resources, but looks extremely promising based on these historical drilling highlights:
