Contango ORE (CTGO)<\/strong> is probably the #1 biggest opportunity<\/strong><\/span> in the history of the gold mining<\/strong><\/span> industry when you combine<\/span><\/strong> upside potential<\/strong><\/span> with little downside risk<\/strong><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

New Found Gold (TSXV: NFG)<\/strong> hit a market cap on Friday of CAD$1.46 billion<\/strong> after intercepting 219 g\/t Au<\/span> over 9.35m<\/strong> and 160 g\/t Au<\/span> over 10.30m<\/strong>, but…<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

CTGO’s Ellis Zone<\/strong> at Johnson Tract<\/strong> has achieved intercepts as high as 577 g\/t Au<\/span> over 6.4m<\/strong> in an area that isn’t<\/strong><\/span> yet included in CTGO’s Johnson Tract resource<\/strong> estimate, and President Trump<\/strong> has accepted<\/strong><\/span> CTGO’s Johnson Tract<\/strong> for FAST-41 expedited permitting<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

CTGO<\/strong> may “look expensive<\/span>“<\/strong> at $26.22 per share<\/strong> but its market cap is only US$392.36 million<\/strong>, and it has US$107 million<\/strong><\/span> in cash!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

CTGO’s Johnson Tract<\/strong> is their flagship<\/strong><\/span> project, but CTGO<\/strong> is drilling right now at Lucky Shot<\/strong>, which is fully permitted<\/strong><\/span> for production<\/strong><\/span>… and CTGO’s high-grade<\/span> Lucky Shot drilling results<\/strong> will start coming out early next year!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Most importantly, CTGO<\/strong> is a gold producer<\/strong><\/span> from its 30% share in Manh Choh<\/strong> one of the highest-grade<\/strong><\/span> open pit gold mines<\/strong><\/span> in the world and earned free cash flow<\/strong> of $23.26 million<\/strong><\/span> last quarter alone!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

So yes, North Peak Resources (TSXV: NPR)<\/strong> from a market cap of CAD$40.73 million<\/strong> may become next year’s top gaining <\/strong><\/span>gold stock<\/strong><\/span> if drilling results at the Prospect Mountain Mine Complex<\/strong> are as strong as we expect them to be… but CTGO<\/strong> is a perfect combination<\/strong><\/span> of having massive upside potential<\/span>\/little downside risk<\/span><\/strong>!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

NIA’s President<\/strong> owns<\/span> both<\/span> CTGO<\/strong> and NPR<\/strong> but is likely to make CTGO<\/strong> his top<\/span> position<\/strong> within a year while adding <\/strong><\/span>more <\/strong><\/span>gradually<\/strong> to his NPR<\/strong> position. NIA’s President doesn’t<\/span> own<\/span> NFG<\/strong> at all but does hold a tiny<\/strong><\/span> stake in Earthlabs (TSXV: SPOT)<\/strong> which holds a NFG<\/strong> royalty.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Past performance is not an indicator of future returns. NIA is not an investment advisor. Always do your own research. NIA’s President has purchased 4,000 shares of CTGO in the open market and intends to buy more shares. NIA has received compensation from CTGO of US$80,000 cash for a ten-month marketing contract. NIA’s President has purchased 60,000 shares of NPR in the open market and intends to buy more shares. NIA has received compensation from NPR of US$50,000 cash for a six-month marketing contract and previously received US$50,000 cash for a six-month marketing contract which has since expired. NIA’s President has purchased 30,500 shares of SPOT in the open market and intends to buy more shares.
