TSX Venture Surpasses 200-Day Moving Average
The TSX Venture Composite Index has just surpassed its 200-day moving average, which is the most bullish sign possible for natural resource exploration & development companies:
The next ten months will be the largest upward move of the current bull market:
Don't assume that gold exploration & development stocks will be the largest gainers over the next ten months. The average natural resource investor that has invested in gold stocks has made money and that's why they are the most in favor right now… but they might actually be the weakest performers moving forward. Don't be surprised if the average gold exploration & development stock only gains by 50%-100% over the next ten months.
Whatever is most out of favor today will likely achieve the largest gains over the next ten months. In NIA's opinion, titanium and vanadium are the most out of favor, which is part of the reason we have made Saga Metals (TSXV: SAGA) and Temas Resources (CSE: TMAS) our top two overall stock suggestions.
SAGA is our new #1 favorite overall stock suggestion because in addition to its 100% perfect hit rate at the Radar Critical Minerals Project… SAGA has also acquired the Wolverine Heavy Rare Earth Project, which it is currently receiving zero value for even though NIA strongly believes it will prove to be the #1 most value creative acquisition any small-cap natural resource company has made in 2026, and we are likely to learn why very soon with SAGA's maiden drill program ongoing right now.
TMAS is our new #2 favorite overall stock suggestion because in addition to its La Blache having an after-tax Net Present Value of CAD$6.8 billion… TMAS also owns the world's #1 most advanced patented hydrometallurgical platform technology to extract critical, battery, and precious metals at the highest possible recoveries using a low-temperature, closed-loop system.
NIA said dozens of times throughout all of 2025 that before investing into a high-risk Crypto, blockchain, or other technology stock ask yourself the following questions:
"Does it have as much upside as First Mining Gold?
Does it have less downside than First Mining Gold?
Is it as undervalued as First Mining Gold?
Does it have a catalyst ahead in the upcoming months as big as First Mining Gold?"
The truth is… nobody found any stocks with a bigger catalyst than First Mining Gold (TSX: FF) receiving EA Approval… and it still hasn't been priced in!
Moving forward… the biggest catalyst for the gold industry will be the upcoming IPO of North American Barrick, which will make Fourmile a household name across America. Westward Gold (CSE: WG) having made a major high-grade gold discovery at the company's SSD Zone, which is directly adjacent to Fourmile, is clearly the best way to capitalize.
Xali Gold (TSXV: XGC) is the only remaining low market cap gold stock with the potential to become a near-term producer.
Viva Gold (TSXV: VAU) is the only remaining low market cap gold stock that is likely to become a takeover target.
