On December 19, 2023, NIA announced Almadex Minerals (TSXV: DEX)<\/strong> as its favorite brand-new<\/span> stock suggestion<\/strong> at $0.215 per share<\/strong> explaining it was the only stock in the market besides Augusta Gold (TSX: G)<\/strong> that had a 100% chance<\/span><\/strong> of making large gains<\/strong><\/span>. DEX<\/strong> hit a new all-time high<\/strong><\/span> last week of $0.69 per share<\/strong> for a gain of 220.93%<\/strong><\/span> from NIA’s suggestion price and finished the week at $0.62 per share<\/strong>. Rick Rule<\/strong> who we highly<\/span> respect<\/strong> also suggested<\/span> DEX<\/strong> about a year after NIA.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Contango ORE (CTGO)<\/strong> is definitely the safest <\/strong><\/span>gold miner<\/strong><\/span> in the market with the highest<\/span> odds<\/strong> of becoming a huge<\/strong><\/span> winner<\/strong><\/span> from its current share price of $22.22 per share<\/strong> mainly because it will generate<\/span> $300 million<\/strong> or more<\/strong><\/span> in free cash flow<\/strong><\/span> over the next three years, which exceeds<\/strong><\/span> its current market cap<\/strong> and enterprise value<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Discovery Silver (TSX: DSV)<\/strong> which made one of the most brilliant <\/strong><\/span>acquisitions<\/strong><\/span> we have ever seen of the Porcupine Complex<\/strong> in Ontario for US$425 million<\/strong><\/span> has a market cap<\/strong> right now of US$2.88 billion<\/strong><\/span>, but what is the point of owning<\/strong><\/span> DSV<\/strong> at this point? In Discovery’s<\/strong> first quarter<\/strong> of operating <\/b><\/font>the Porcupine Complex<\/strong> post-acquisition they reported<\/span> free cash flow<\/strong> of US$27.3 million<\/strong><\/span>. So, at this rate it will take 26.37 years of operations<\/strong> to cover<\/span> DSV’s market cap<\/strong>?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

If Newmont didn’t<\/span> want<\/span> Porcupine<\/strong> and was willing to sell it for US$425 million<\/strong>, what are the odds<\/strong> it is still<\/span> operating<\/span><\/strong> in 26 years<\/strong>? Newmont<\/strong> did a PEA<\/strong> before selling it (not<\/strong><\/span> a feasibility study<\/strong>) and even the PEA<\/strong> said it will only operate<\/strong><\/span> for 22 years<\/strong>. If a feasibility study<\/strong> was done, maybe the mine life<\/strong> would only be 10 years<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Contango ORE (CTGO)<\/strong> doesn’t<\/span><\/strong> have a big-name<\/span> investor<\/strong> like Eric Sprott<\/strong> behind the company, so it remains<\/strong><\/span> undiscovered<\/strong><\/span>… but CTGO’s CEO Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse<\/strong> previously founded<\/span> NovaGold (NG)<\/strong> and discovered<\/span> Donlin<\/strong>, and NovaGold’s largest<\/span> shareholder<\/strong> is billionaire<\/span> John Paulson <\/strong>who recently purchased a 40%<\/span> direct stake<\/strong> in Donlin<\/strong> in addition to becoming NG’s largest<\/span> shareholder<\/strong> (NG<\/strong> owns 60%<\/strong><\/span> of Donlin<\/strong>). On an overall<\/span> basis<\/strong> (directly<\/strong><\/span> and indirectly<\/strong><\/span> through NG<\/strong>), billionaire<\/span> John Paulson<\/strong> owns<\/strong><\/span> the majority<\/strong><\/span> of Donlin<\/strong>, which was discovered<\/strong><\/span> by CTGO’s CEO Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse<\/strong> and is the largest<\/span> undeveloped<\/span> gold project<\/span><\/strong> in the United States that has a realistic<\/strong><\/span> chance of future<\/span> development<\/span><\/strong>… although Donlin’s<\/strong> initial CAPEX<\/span><\/strong> is extremely high<\/span><\/strong>. If John Paulson <\/strong>is successful<\/strong><\/span> on this bet<\/strong>, he is likely to profit many billions<\/strong><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

We believe CTGO<\/strong> is the bigger opportunity<\/strong><\/span> because it is already generating massive free cash flow<\/strong><\/span> today and won’t<\/strong><\/span> have any dilution<\/strong><\/span>. In 2020 during the last mini<\/strong><\/span> gold <\/strong><\/span>boom<\/strong><\/span>, CTGO’s Johnson Tract<\/strong> development project was owned<\/strong><\/span> by a company HighGold Mining<\/strong>, which soared<\/span><\/strong> from $0.57 up to<\/span> $3.14<\/strong> for a gain of 450.87%<\/strong><\/span> in six months:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

CTGO<\/strong> with impeccable<\/span> timing<\/strong>… swooped<\/strong><\/span> in and acquired<\/span> HighGold Mining<\/strong> in July 2024 for $0.52 per share<\/strong>. At HighGold’s September 2020 high<\/span><\/strong> the company was worth C$185.422 million<\/strong> or US$139.1 million<\/strong>. With gold<\/strong><\/span> hitting much higher new all-time highs<\/strong><\/span> since then we are sure if CTGO didn’t<\/span> acquire<\/span> HighGold<\/strong> near its all-time low<\/strong><\/span>, HighGold<\/strong> would be worth at least<\/span> US$200 million<\/strong> today, but if we use the US$139.1 million<\/strong> figure to value Johnson Tract<\/strong> and subtract<\/strong><\/span> it from CTGO’s enterprise value<\/strong> of $275.85 million<\/strong>, CTGO’s stake<\/strong> in Manh Choh<\/strong> one of the world’s<\/span> highest grade<\/span> open pit gold mines<\/span><\/strong> is currently being valued at only $136.75 million<\/strong> or 1.3675x<\/span> CTGO’s estimated 2025 full year free cash flow<\/span><\/strong> of US$100 million<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

QuestCorp Mining (CSE: QQQ)<\/strong> if it makes a CRD intercept<\/span><\/strong> at any one of its four targets<\/strong> at La Union<\/strong> could become our largest gainer<\/strong><\/span> of 2025, but it is also the riskiest<\/span> stock<\/strong> we have suggested in years, so it also has a chance of becoming our only loser<\/strong><\/span> of the year. From last week’s description<\/strong> of what they found at the first two targets<\/strong> our confidence<\/strong><\/span> in QQQ<\/strong> has gone way up<\/strong><\/span>, but nobody<\/strong><\/span> knows<\/strong><\/span> anything until the assay results<\/strong> are announced<\/strong><\/span> later this year.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

North Peak Resources (TSXV: NPR)<\/strong> is another low<\/span> market cap<\/strong>, high risk <\/strong><\/span>stock<\/strong> with potential for huge upside<\/strong><\/span>… with an amazing<\/span> CRD project<\/strong> that is similar to QQQ<\/strong>, and NPR<\/strong> already achieved high-grade<\/span> gold intercepts<\/span><\/strong> at the Prospect Mountain Mine Complex<\/strong> last year when nobody<\/span><\/strong> was paying attention<\/strong><\/span>. This caused NPR<\/strong> to complete<\/strong><\/span> the full<\/strong><\/span> <\/strong><\/span>acquisition<\/strong><\/span> of 100%<\/strong> of the Prospect Mountain Mine Complex<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

NPR’s Executive Chairman Harry Dobson<\/strong> is equally <\/strong><\/span>as successful<\/strong><\/span> as Frank Giustra<\/strong>, but Dobson<\/strong> is low<\/span> profile<\/strong> preferring to race<\/strong><\/span> his horses<\/strong> vs. Giustra<\/strong> being high<\/span> profile<\/strong> with his donations<\/strong><\/span> to the Clinton Foundation<\/strong>. There is absolutely no<\/span> premium<\/span> <\/strong>priced into NPR<\/strong> like you see with Frank Giustra’s Argenta Silver (TSXV: AGAG)<\/strong> a stock that will gap up<\/strong><\/span> again tomorrow followed by another collapse<\/strong><\/span> in the days that follow. If all of the hype<\/strong><\/span> for gold<\/strong><\/span> and silver<\/strong><\/span> suddenly went away<\/strong><\/span> (we are very early<\/strong><\/span> in the bull market<\/strong><\/span>, but we always think in terms of a worst-case scenario<\/strong><\/span>) it is unlikely<\/strong><\/span> to matter for NPR<\/strong>, which initially gained by 800%<\/strong><\/span> within one year of NIA’s March 2021 suggestion<\/span><\/strong> during a bear market<\/span><\/strong> for gold stocks<\/strong><\/span>. AGAG<\/strong> needs a hyped-up<\/span><\/strong> bull market<\/strong><\/span> just to avoid crashing by 80%<\/strong><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Barrick<\/strong> could have owned<\/span> 70%<\/strong> of AGAG’s only<\/span> silver project<\/span> El Quevar<\/strong> if they only spent $4 million <\/strong><\/span>more<\/strong><\/span> on the property, but they gave it back<\/strong><\/span> to Golden Minerals (AUMN)<\/strong> last year after determining the poor<\/span> recoveries<\/strong> would make El Quevar uneconomical<\/span><\/strong>. AGAG<\/strong> only had to pay <\/span>$3.5 million<\/strong> to AUMN<\/strong> for 100% ownership<\/span><\/strong> of El Quevar<\/strong> and didn’t<\/strong><\/span> even need to issue<\/strong><\/span> a royalty<\/strong> because AUMN<\/strong> knew the property was practically worthless<\/strong><\/span>. If Barrick<\/strong> determined El Quevar wasn’t<\/span><\/strong> even worth $4 million<\/strong>, what are the odds<\/strong> of anybody acquiring<\/span> AGAG<\/strong> in the future<\/strong><\/span> for above<\/strong><\/span> its current market cap<\/strong>? Zero<\/strong><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

NIA is extremely confident <\/strong><\/span>silver<\/strong><\/span> will soon rise<\/strong><\/span> to $70-$100 per oz<\/strong><\/span> and $50 per oz<\/strong><\/span> will become its new<\/span> long-term support<\/span> level<\/strong> and if so Minaurum Gold (TSXV: MGG)<\/strong> has the only new<\/span> fully permitted<\/span> high-grade<\/span> polymetallic<\/span> silver project<\/span><\/strong> in all of Mexico along with a large<\/strong><\/span> portfolio<\/strong> of non-core projects<\/strong> that could be spun-off<\/strong><\/span> in the future such as J David Lowell’s Santa Marta<\/strong> and the Lone Mountain CRD Project<\/strong> located in close proximity to North Peak Resources (TSXV: NPR)’s Prospect Mountain Mine Complex<\/strong> one of the highest grade new <\/strong><\/span>gold discoveries<\/strong><\/span> in all of Nevada.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

MGG<\/strong> has the same type of high-grade<\/span> polymetallic<\/span> silver vein system<\/span><\/strong> that the majors<\/strong><\/span> have recently been spending billions<\/strong><\/span> to acquire<\/strong><\/span>. Research Coeur’s newly acquired<\/span> Las Chispas<\/strong> and First Majestic’s newly acquired<\/span> Los Gatos<\/strong> and compare<\/strong><\/span> them both to MGG’s Alamos Silver Project<\/span><\/strong>. MGG co-founder Dr. Peter Megaw<\/strong> previously discovered<\/span> Mexico’s Juanicipio silver project<\/span><\/strong> and founded<\/span> MAG Silver<\/strong>, which was just acquired<\/strong><\/span> by Pan American Silver<\/strong> for $2.1 billion<\/strong><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n
