The Best Performing Stock of This Century Will Surprise You



 Which stock do you think is the best performer in the S&P 500 so far in the 21st century? I can hear your guesses——Google, Apple, Amazon, Netflix. All great performers to be sure.

But they aren’t right…..

The single best performing S&P 500 stock this century is Monster Beverage (MNST-NASDAQ), the energy drink company.  A $10,000 investment in Monster when it came public in 2003 is now worth more than $12 million——Cha-Cha-Cha!!!

 

 

Monster Energy is a monster success because it followed a simple formula:

They were a trail-blazing brand in the new consumer product trend of energy drinks. They conquered a fresh landscape; they won the energy drink “land grab”. 

In business school they call this the FIRST MOVER ADVANTAGE:
  1. An aggressive company
  2. with a great product
  3. establishes strong brand recognition and loyalty
  4. before other entrants gain a foothold.
Before other energy products knew the game was on, Monster Energy had massive distribution locked down and was on shelves everywhere.

First-in often wins.  That is why Monster is energy drinks.  Coca-Cola and Pepsi are cola.  Kleenex is tissues.

This isn’t rocket science folks.  Investors we see huge winners from first moving consumer brand stocks on a pretty regular basis.

When a new brand gets rolling, the stock market loves it.  LuLuLemon (LULU-NYSE) — is another; a Vancouver company that hit it big here right under my nose with form fitting clothes made with seaweed.  It’s gone from $2 – $350 in 15 years.

You know what the hot new consumer product trend is for 2021?  Whole Foods (which is now Amazon) said that the #1 trending sales item in 2021 is functional foods.

Look at Celsius—CELH-NASD—as distribution increased for its functional beverage products, the stock has rocketed over the past 12 months.

The company and stock I’m introducing to you tomorrow is this kind of company.  Much like CELH, it’s in functional foods—the #1 hot new consumer product trend. Huge industry tailwinds help investors!

But there is no DOMINANT brand; the Market is wide open for a leader to become #1.

Just like LULU did.  Just like Monster Energy did.  Just like Coca-Cola did back in its early days.
 

The Big Money is Made In The Big Growth Phase

 
You know what I do—I look at the top trends in the Market and find THE BEST junior team to play that trend.  That’s where investors get THE BEST leverage.

I want to find THE team that can make and market these functional, mushroom-based products into a national brand that everyone recognizes.  It’s huge frontier market.  People are now KEEN to buy these products.  That gives investors the perfect set-up to find another MONSTER-type win.

And tomorrow, I’ll show you the team and the company that I think can give me that.  It ticks all my major boxes:
  1. Management
  2. Management
  3. Management
You think I’m being funny but I’m not.  This CEO has a 30+ year track record getting products into national retail chains and taking revenues from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of millions. 

His track record says that if he was selling cat food I would buy this stock.  But he’s selling a highly-developed line of functional foods to a market that can’t get enough of it right now.
Other boxes:
  1. Less than 60 million shares out
  2. Millions in the bank
  3. A powerful shareholder group backing the CEO
And perhaps most importantly—this CEO is just starting his growth curve.

It’s these early days, when the first big wins get announced, where investors get rewarded the most.  Newly public, they’re funded and their products are now ready to hit store shelves.  All investors are waiting for is the CEO to announce distribution deal after distribution deal after distribution deal.

Now I don’t know when exactly that will happen.  But I do know this CEO has worked with Crossmark, one of the top brand accelerators in the USA, for years. So it’s only a matter of time.

He—quite simply—has one of the best rolodex’s for national chains in the entire USA. He has the credibility.  He has the track record.

His latest win was being a senior part of the team at one of the Big Winners I mentioned above—Celsius Holdings, CELH-NASD.

Yes, that’s right.  The CEO of this junior ALREADY HAS A MAJOR WINNER in a closely related space (functional beverages).

I sure wish I had bought CELH at $4 last year and enjoyed the 15X—1400%–ride to $64.  I didn’t, but I studied CELH after the fact, and this CEO’s new company—which just listed days ago—has all of the same hallmarks—and more.

I’m thrilled to have followed him and now be able introduce him to you at just the right time, just as his next venture comes out flying in the hot, hot, hot mushroom-based functional product market.

So this CEO’s timing couldn’t be better.

Consumers are ready to make their lives better with what they put into their shopping carts.

COVID has further accelerated the trend of eating to live better…and the interest in mushroom-based foods specifically has been exploding. 

For centuries people have used mushrooms to boost their immune system, fight anxiety and improve sleep quality.  Analysis by Grandview Research points to the global functional mushroom market exceeding $50 billion by 2025

Wow, I bet not too many people would have put the opportunity as being that large. 
Another study by Food Navigator showed that there has been a recent 800% demand increase for key mushroom varieties.

This CEO’s new company now has the funding to roll out distribution for their functional food product line.
I see it as being in exactly the same situation Monster Energy was with the energy drink market in the early 2000s when demand for energy drinks was ready to explode.

I’m not saying that this stock is going to be the next Monster Energy—but I feel very confident in saying that the functional food market will be where the next Monster Energy type exploding consumer brand winner comes from.

And this company is positioned better than any other that I see.

Those connections are how he was able to help take CELH from $400k in sales to multi-millions of dollars——at CELH he established distribution with industry giants like 7-Eleven, Ralph’s, Costco, BJ’s Wholesale, CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Rite Aid, Target, Duane Reade, and Stop and Shop.

 
Do Not Miss My E-Mail Tomorrow!!!

 
I’ve explained the market potential here.  The leaders of hot new consumer product trends have HUGE stock runs.  This CEO already has one of these under his belt in the #1 consumer product trend (says Whole Foods) of 2021—functional foods.

And he is now putting his entire rolodex and 30+ years of contacts and experience into a micro-cap company, backed by a powerful group of shareholders.

Remember:
1 – Leading consumer brand companies make some of the greatest stock market moves ever.  Monster Energy is the single best stock of this century.

2 – The functional mushroom market is growing incredibly fast and is expected to be a $50 billion market by 2025.  Almost all of that market is up for grabs.

3 – This CEO has proven that he can build a big consumer brand product play.  He is surrounded himself with a proven team.

4 – Newly public, investors have the ability to get in on the ground floor just as his months of preparation and potential can start to be realized.

It’s an exciting time.  You love ground floor opportunities.  I love ground floor opportunities.  This is our next ground floor opportunity…the table is set.

Their products have organic standards, USDA certification, non-GMO which means that winning new distribution points is easy.  As they add more distribution points they provide the market with a steady string of catalysts.

The share structure is tight.  Just 58 million outstanding and the company has money in the bank.

The formula for success is simple.  It’s the same formula that made Monster Energy best performing S&P 500 stock of this century, and Celsius Holdings a 15-bagger in a year.

Tomorrow you get the CEO’s name and all the details of and ticker of this micro-cap functional foods stock.

THE BEST GROWTH STOCK YOU’VE NEVER HEARD OF

THE BEST GROWTH STOCK YOU’VE NEVER HEARD OF



I’m going to show you today the single largest growth story in the junior markets—that you have never heard of.  You don’t have to wait until tomorrow like usual.  The symbol is half way down today’s story.  But read this first:

This junior stock is the #1 growth stock I have ever seen—and they are anonymous.  NOBODY knows them.  And that’s probably why they trade at 7x gross profit vs. 53x (average of 8 companies) for peers both large and small. 7 vs. 53.

They are the AMAZON, the NETFLIX of their industry.  That is not hyperbole, as you will read below.
And I’m bringing this story to you NOW, because they are about to flip the switch on profitability, after spending years to become the overwhelming dominant player in their business. And the woman who runs it all is amazing.

Both Amazon and Netflix made themselves indispensable to us all by being convenient and cheap for years. 

They grew market share steadily—losing money the whole way.  But when they hit critical mass, and just raised prices a teeny weeny bit—look what happened to net income: 
 
 
It is hard to believe that as recently as 2015 Amazon was making zero dollars of profits. Then Jeff Bezos decided it was time to monetize that huge customer base…and now the company is earning $21 billion a year and still growing.
 
 
Netflix just started raising prices ever so slowly.  $1 a month one year, another one a bit later—then the $3/month last year! 

That’s what this junior company has done—become dominant.  You’ve never heard of my #1 junior growth stock because it achieved near total market dominance in its market as a subsidiary of a big company.  But it was just spun out into a small public vehicle last fall. 

And here’s what they’ve done:

They have the second largest video property worldwide in terms of unique viewers.  Not the second largest in this niche—the second largest out of every company on the planet.

They have more than 600 million unique monthly viewers generating over 470 b-b-billion views of their content in FY 20.  

470 billion views ——think of the leverage that having an audience that big creates.  This junior stock owns all their content and always will.  When your unit volume is 470 billion—you only have to raise prices a teeny bit to make A LOT of money. 

And media-tech company BBTV Holdings Inc. (BBTV-TSX, OTCMKTS:BBTVF) is just now ready to leverage that volume with a higher priced premium service that will make both customers and investors VERY happy. 

Newly public, it’s trading at just 7x gross profit, vs 53x for similar online stocks like Fiverr (FVRR-NYSE) at 53x gross profit, and 49x for The Trade Desk  (TTD-NYSE).  There are even more highly valued online stocks–as high as 127x!  BBTV trades at 7x gross profit. 

 
BBTV – 2nd Largest Video Property in the World


BBTV is so big…that when CEO Shahrzad Rafati told me, I literally DID NOT BELIEVE HER.

As a small-cap investor, I can hardly imagine 470 billion anything.  BBTV is actually amongst the mega-cap technology giants.BBTV--Shahrzad microphone 2

BBTV’s tech platform allows influencers to grow their audience and drive revenue on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Snapchat among others.

BBTV shares in the advertising revenue earned by the influencers.  The bigger the audience, the bigger the advertising revenue.  BBTV doesn’t just provide the solutions though—it also acquires the rights to the content.  

That means platforms like YouTube, and Instagram are relying on BBTV to entertain and engage with their audiences. 

The “influencer” economy is massive now—and still growing! BBTV is the lynchpin between influencers, audiences and the groups who make them money—like advertisers. 

With BBTV’s solutions, influencers increase their audience and revenue.  BBTV helps them get their content discovered and helps them monetize it.  


The platforms like YouTube or Facebook that host the content also benefit from BBTV’s involvement because BBTV provides a massive library of content as well as technology to help increase viewership and engagement. So everybody wins: influencer, platform and BBTV.

Now the staggering numbers……BBTV hasn’t just captured a few influencers.  The company is DOMINATING.
 

  
This is a great baseline for massive monetization. I’m about to tell you how they’re going to do that.

But more incredible numbers——BBTV’s audience watches more than 2X the minutes of entertainment than the major media companies.  That means BBTV has more than twice the minutes of viewership than the likes of Disney (DIS-NYSE; US$332 B market cap), Warner Media , Comcast (CMCSA-NASD; US$240 B market cap) and Viacom & CBS (VIAC-NASD; US$35 B market cap)

There’s HUGE value to advertisers in a scale that large.

These are world juggernauts and BBTV has built something of a scale that is bigger—and it is still growing.  Americans now spend a quarter of the day with digital media and the pandemic has only increased that time.  You know what happens when demand increases? Ad rates go UP! 

BBTV has ingrained itself in more of the audience that watch this content than anyone but Google.
BBTV has a market cap of CAD$200 MMMMM-illion. Or $0.2 billion. ZERO point two billion.  (US ZERO point one seven!) There’s only 20.5 million shares—that is BIG leverage to any increase in profitability.


The Moat Value
Is The Most Value

 

BBTV’s huge platform scale creates a moat around its business.  Just as Google won the search race, BBTV has captured its video influencer business. 

Nobody else can match the data, and the targeting that goes along with it, from the 2.6 billion videos that BBTV now has in its database.  

Nobody else can provide BBTV’s value to their influencer customers.

That’s why the NBA has leveraged BBTV’s solutions since 2009.  Now, the NBA is already big.  But with BBTV, the NBA’s viewership has still exploded upwards by 3900% through 2019.

That shows the power of the moat; the value of the BBTV tech.

Think like this—what Shopify is to retailers—BBTV is to influencers. The influencers just focus on what they enjoy and want to do which is creating the content. 

BBTV is a one stop shop for influencers so they don’t have to juggle working with 6 or 7 different vendors. And they make more money: on average an influencer earns 19% more with BBTV’s solutions. And when you deliver results, customers stay with you.  BBTV retains 95% of views year over year.

 

PLUS Program Turns up the Dial on Profits

 

Since 2005, BBTV has had ONE goal: GET HUGE.  This is STEP 1 of the standard tech business plan.  470 billion views–mission accomplished.  BBTV has achieved an absurd level of scale. 

Revenue in 2019 hit $372 million—up 55% in just two years.  Through 2020 growth has continued—Q4 revenue up 40% year on year, and fiscal revenue up 23%.
  

But now is when the company really puts the pedal to the medal.  It is time to turn the dial on revenue and profitability.
 
 
As it should be, the content creators get most of the dollars for their work.  And BBTV’s margins are still incredible! For the full fiscal year 2020, BBTV Share of revenue was $39 million. Gross profit was $36 million–how many companies have a 93% gross margin?

BBTV has two solutions: Base and Plus. Base Solution drives viewership and increases ad volume for influencers while Plus Solutions increase and activates additional revenues streams. There are three Plus Solutions: Direct Advertising, Content Management and Mobile Games. 

BBTV is now focused on ramping up its “Plus” solutions for influencers.  This is a step change in gross margins for the business……

With incredible data over a huge viewership, they can offer BIG advertisers a much more targeted audience. And that is worth A LOT more money—like, FIVE TIMES more! Again, this is win-win-win for the influencer, the platform and BBTV.

Not only you can monetize your content with BBTV but you can also monetize all fan uploaded content through their Plus Solutions. Think of a fan taking either a concert or sports highlight and uploading it—BBTV can actually create revenue out of that for the influencer that owns the clip—by placing relevant ads against that video—that’s not only more fair, but lucrative!!)

BBTV’s PLUS can create mobile apps—just like Disney does for its major IP—and further monetize the influencer’s audience. THIS. IS. HUGE. And it’s just starting now.

BBTV surrounds their customers’ content with other great content and revenue streams—and it snowballs—sometimes VERY FAST.

Right now, Plus Solutions are just 10% of revenue—but 25% of gross profit.  Increasing Plus Solutions across 470 billion views—and hey, I haven’t told you that they are just starting in regions like China and India and Japan and South Korea—the scale for increased profitability is…well, honestly it’s hard for me to fathom.  It’s very big.
 

INTERNATIONAL MARKETS GAINING MORE TRACTION
 


BBTV has just barely tapped into the billions of influencers in international markets who don’t have a similar solution. BBTV’s platform will work perfectly there—the tech is language and domain agnostic, and works just as well in international markets as it does in North America.

Seriously—there is a lot of upside here if this team can execute. Just to be clear, 470 billion views is pretty good execution. 

Plus Solutions just started.  I think it is going to have a game-changing impact on the bottom line as more influencers reap the benefits.  Traction is great! Direct Advertising Sales growth rate almost doubled going into Q4’20 where revenues grew by 57% year-over-year.

Jeff Bezos flipped that switch to profitability for Amazon in 2015 after 15 years of growth.  BBTV is similarly doing it now after an incredible stretch of growth from 2005.  Investors got to miss over a decade of unprofitable growth when BBTV was private. 

Newly public—with WELL Health CEO Hamed Shahbazi on the board—investors now get to see what happens when a small-cap company with INCREDIBLE leverage (on par with Google, Facebook) actually starts trying to make money.  And it’s starting from a very low valuation compared to its peer group (7 vs 53, remember?).

I told you it was the #1 growth stock you’ve never heard of.  It could be an Amazon, er, I mean, amazing story in 2021. BBTV-TSX, OTCMKTS:BBTVF. I’m long.

The Salt of The Earth—Is Much More Valuable Than You Think

THE SALT OF THE EARTH
IS MORE VALUABLE THAN YOU THINK


 

It is time to get BULLISH on commodities.

Pick a commodity and it is moving higher.  Grain prices are soaring.   Nickel, copper, oil and silver—all higher.

Investors are seeing upticks in so many commodities— now back to above just prior to pre-pandemic highs. 

The charts on commodities look incredible—clearly showing breakouts.

Closely watched Goldman Sachs commodity guru just told a conference that a large institutional client of his told him that corn is the new bitcoin…..clearly animal spirits are returning to commodities.

Currie and Goldman just pounded the table on commodities.  He said that commodities now have all the signs of structural bull market. 

More accurately what Currie is predicting is —— “A long lasting bull market for virtually every commodity……”

Those are his words not mine, but I understand the reasoning behind it and agree with it.

Currie and I aren’t alone. 

The legendary Stan Druckenmiller just revealed that he has built a huge position in commodities and recently told CNBC to “buckle up” because things are about to get really, really wild.

The setup for commodities is perfect.  Years of underinvestment exacerbated by:
  1. COVID,
  2. dollar weakness,
  3. massive Government spending plans,
  4. interest rates at zero and
  5. the trillions of dollars of coming infrastructure build out for the great energy transition.
This commodity trade is about the fundamentals of supply and demand…

Currie said, “every single commodity market with the exception of wheat is in a deficit today“.  Great trades are built on fundamentals.  Those trades become epic when the momentum crowd eventually jumps on-board.

The commodity trade is also about a world awash in money….

From Druckenmiller “The longer the Fed tries to keep rates suppressed so that they’ll have stimulus in the pipeline, the more I win on my commodities.

Institutional investors are realizing that commodities could be the next moonshot momentum trade.  Just watch out for how exciting this gets when that reddit crowd jumps on the commodity train.

The timing is right for commodities–and creates a huge opportunity for ground floor investors who can find undiscovered commodity stories that will provide the full leverage to a long bullish commodity run.
Our job as investors is simple. 

Find an asset and stock that has not been discovered.  Get in for pennies on the dollar and then wait.  As the money keeps flowing into the commodity sector these are the kinds of stocks that benefit the most.

I believe I have found exactly the kind of ground floor commodity stock that will be a big winner in 2021.  It is completely under the radar.

The company has a very cheap valuation, an incredibly LARGE and HIGH GRADE resource—in Canada—and a North American market that is begging for its product.

The underlying asset provides a huge resource base—over 50 years supply—so we are talking long term predictable cash flows for decades.

My favorite part is the team involved.  It’s a Grade A; a top-tier team in their industry.

 

A Permanent, Unassailable, Competitive Advantage –
We Call That A Moat Folks!!

 
This company has a surprising commodity that investors don’t think about: SALT.  Everyone thinks gold is sexy but there are a lot more millionaires from industrial commodities than gold miners.

You may think salt is boring.  But truckloads of free cash flow—for decades!!!—is not boring.  It’s VERY lucrative.

And it’s certainly not boring  if you get in on the ground floor like we can with this stock.  I’m always looking to get in early and get in cheap.  And because NOBODY knows about salt, I can do that. (And tomorrow you can too!)

It’s rare when you can make a ground-floor investment—
  1. on an asset ready to go into production
  2. That has such a large resource it will produce for over 50 years
  3. Recession proof, demand driven by winter
That is one heckuva annuity!!!

NOBODY KNOWS that North America imports salt from Egypt and Chile.  Those places are a long way away and costly to ship from. 

It is more than 5,600 nautical kilometers from the Port of Alexandria in Egypt to the East Coast of the United States.  That is a 25 day journey by sea…..with the meter running the entire way.

Chile is no better since it is on the wrong side of the continent to get to the East Coast in the USA.  Total nautical miles again rings in at over 5,600 and also takes almost 25 days by sea.

NOBODY KNOWS that the USA imports EIGHT MILLION TONS a year from overseas—that’s worth $464 MILLION EVERY YEAR at $58/ton

NOBODY KNOWS that while we have lots of salt—around the Great Lakes mostly—we don’t have nearly enough.  North America still runs a HUGE salt deficit—about 8 – 10 million tons per year.

Putting a local, very large and very high-grade (95%+) salt deposit into production is like picking up $100 bills on the sidewalk.

Salt’s transportation is a major portion of a buyer’s all-in purchase cost.  That means you want to keep your logistics short. A local salt mine gives you HUGE advantages.   

That is why I’m so hot and bothered for this specific stock.

Every buyer wants the best product at the cheapest price—for salt, that means buying local—LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.  Logistics is everything. 

Being close to market is a huge, permanent, competitive advantage.

If North America imports TEN MILLION tons of salt per year–well, at US$58/ton, that’s a $580 million annual market opportunity there for the taking.

If that salt could be purchased locally it would be.  Salt can’t be sourced from Egypt cheaper than it can from here. UNTIL NOW!!!

There is a gaping market opportunity in the North American market for a new domestic supplier……and the salt company that I just found could fill most of that. What major mineral company doesn’t want a 50 year supply of an incredibly high grade resource that almost every single person in North America uses almost every day?

(I bet that recently snow-covered Texas wishes they had had a lot more salt!!!)

I’m telling you—pay attention to the company name I’m giving you tomorrow, because after you read all about it, I’m sure you’ll agree with me that it won’t be around for long.

The location here is perfect —— the company has a huge salt deposit located near the heavily populated northeast coast of the United States, exactly where snow removal gives salt a premium market year, after year, after year.

That means very low transportation costs and that permanent cost advantage.

Off-the-radar hardly describers investor attention to salt.  But that’s what makes this sector so lucrative for investors—there is a huge mis-pricing until it gets discovered.  

Because of my high quality audience—YOU—this team called me first. I always want to be FIRST to tell a new story.  All the other promoters come in later.

And this is a unique story, with first-mover advantage.  It’s not a “Me-Too” story.
 

You Can Always Tell The Quality Of An Asset
By The People Involved

 
Not only is this a great commodities bull market, and this an undiscovered gem of a story (large resource, high-grade 95% NaCl!!!)—this company has a board member who has spent decades running some of the largest salt operations on the planet. 

And they are putting their own money on the line here.  When they get paid by the stock going up…. that tells me that they believe that they are looking at something special.

This salt  company has some of the most successful people in the sector, and a very large and very high grade resource in an undersupplied market.  These people didn’t come to this project to pull down a nice little salary.  They are involved to make a boatload from building a very valuable company.

We have a chance right now to get in on the ground floor with them. 

I’ve done a deep dive on this team and their project.  I like everything that I see.  Tomorrow I’m going to give you the specifics, including:

1 – The background and track record of the team involved.
2 – The exact location of the project, which is perfectly located to supply the east coast of the United States and take the place of salt being sourced from the far side of the world.
3 – The potential value of this asset—its ability to deliver predictable cash flows for decades.
4 – The catalysts that are coming in the next few weeks and months that make the timing of owning this stock perfect.

What I know is this.  The market loves a fresh story.

This stock is not another gold or copper play that has a nice-looking punt. 

This company is different.  Who has ever invested in a salt project before?  Institutional investors who like predictable 50-year cash flows and the added bonus of take-out potential will be giving this a look. 

Plus it’s environmentally friendly–no chemical processing, no toxic tailings, no dilution, and has simple,  straightforward mining methods. (Yes, salt is green ;-))

More important though are the facts.

The North American salt market is permanently undersupplied.  This company has a huge, high-grade resource right next door to the biggest source of North American salt demand.

Location is everything for a low value commodity supplier——and you can’t beat the location of this project.
Good share structure.  Commodities are starting to rock.

Tomorrow you get the name of the company, the ticker of the stock and everything you ever wanted to know about the North American salt business!!

This is NOT Your Regular Silver Rally

0

THIS IS NOT YOUR REGULAR SILVER RALLY



Some investment trends smack you right in the face.

This is one of them…….and you are quickly going to understand why.

The Netherlands, one of the leading nations in the transition to renewable energy, recently commissioned a study through the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management.

The study aimed to assess the future availability of the critical raw materials required in making the Dutch transition to solar and wind power.

Six critical metals were identified by the Dutch.

Today we are focusing on one of them———SILVER.

What the Dutch study revealed about silver blew my socks off.

It revealed that—for just The Netherlands to make it’s planned transition to renewables—would create demand for silver that would be two and a half times today’s ENTIRE GLOBAL SILVER PRODUCTION!!!

Re-read that sentence. Let that sink in for a moment.

The Netherlands.  Home to 18 million people.  Representing 0.22% of the total human beings on the planet———the silver demand from this tiny country that has fewer people than some cities, by itself is going disrupt the global silver market with its renewables effort.

Wow, wow, wow, wow….

My first thought was…how have I never heard this before?

My second thought was how do I get some serious leverage to silver prices going higher?

Silver demand in the Netherlands study is all about solar panels.  Silver is the most conductive metal, superior to aluminum, copper and gold.  Every solar panel uses silver.  That is why silver is an essential metal in the renewable transition.

The Netherlands has roughly 8 million private households——so that is what those solar panels driving silver demand will be attached to.

Now consider this…US President Joe Biden wants to install 500 MILLON SOLAR PANELS over the next five years.   With an average house requiring roughly 30 solar panels that means Biden wants to slap solar panels on 16.6 million American homes——which is more than twice as many homes as the entire Netherlands has.

If the tiny Netherlands study showed that their solar panel silver demand was 2.5 times total production…….then just imagine what Biden and every other government that has a Green Recovery Plan coming out of COVID are going to do for silver prices.

 

A Paradigm Shifter For Silver……

 
Every once in a while, you come across a no-brainer moment—and this HAS TO BE a no-brainer moment for silver.  That Netherlands study is just mind-blowing.

Solar panel demand was already starting to be disruptive to the silver market. In 2019 solar panel demand used 11.8% of global silver mine production——that is a double from the 6.1% of silver production that solar panels consumed in 2015. 

How many houses across the planet are going to have solar panels installed over the next five years as trillions of dollars of Government green subsidies are rolled out?

Meanwhile, silver production has declined every year in the past four years and in 2020 is expected to be 10% below the 2015 level——demand is up, supply is down.  I swear I can hear the screws tightening and starting to squeeze the price of silver higher. 

Silver is now attracting all the speculative fervor in precious metals. The crazy Netherlands study conclusion makes it so painfully obvious that the growth in silver demand is about to start increasing exponentially.  This is an investment trend that is as PLAIN AS THE NOSE ON YOUR FACE….

You and I have figured that out.  The market is figuring it out too.  With the leverage to this silver squeeze being with the junior producers that is where the market is starting to look. 
 
 
There is now a big appetite for junior silver stocks—which is absolutely perfect. Why? Because I’ve spent three decades getting to know every good junior mining team on the planet.

It just so happens that I know just the silver junior for this moment in time. 

You dear reader know this team too——and you love them, because we have made some major money with this group multiple times.  I am convinced that with this silver market we are about to again.

Silver is already hotter than gold now. There couldn’t be a better time to bring a well-structured silver company to trade—especially if it’s by a team that knows how to use their stock as currency to do M&A.

That is what this team, one of the Top Mining Teams—is now doing—with an amazing land package in Zacatecas Mexico, one of the most prolific silver districts in the world. 

The location of the asset is right in the middle of the country. There are many historical showings, it is a former producer, and there’s a mill nearby.

But most importantly—silver market has gone crazy…and this company raised its cash last fall as a private company.  So the stock price is going to have some serious catch up to do here!
 

You Could Launch Five Separate Juniors
With These Assets


Sometimes these deals seem to come fast and furious.  The truth is that they all take a lot of work and patience to get to this point.

This team has spent a long time looking at silver assets.  In fact, when they were doing so it was with their contrarian instincts—because silver was very much out of favor at the time.  You can see in the long-term price chart that silver has been dead for five years before now surging back to life in 2020.
 
 
For their contrarian silver hunt, they brought in a PhD geologist based out of London, an ex-Ivanhoe man who they put in charge to vet silver assets.  I know the man, he is a technical specialist, and brutally honest.

His nickname amongst the team quickly became “DR. NO”, because he seemed to take real pleasure in ruthlessly picking apart the assets that came across his desk and tossing them aside because he didn’t think they would work.  Hey—that is what you need in this business.  When you are building a company you only get one shot.

You don’t want a yes man in that role.   I’ll be taking the same Dr. No approach when my daughters start bringing young men home for me to meet!!

Finally…after months and months of repeated no, no, no,….the group put this Zacatecas, Mexican asset in front of Dr. No and he didn’t just say yes——he said that the asset looked amazing.

I was lucky enough to have Dr. No walk me through the project via Zoom and I understand the excitement. 

The main vein that extends onto the property comes from the Veta Grande—one of the most famous silver veins in Mexico—more accurately one of the most famous silver plays in the world.

For hundreds of years, Veta Grande has been one of those magical, mysterious endowments of silver that created so much wealth of the Zacatecas region.   The roads to this area throughout Mexico became known as the silver paths because of all of the silver going out from the Zacatecas to other parts of Mexico.

The private financing for this stock last fall attracted big names.  The world’s biggest silver name is a major shareholder.  You know of whom I speak, and I can tell you that when this world famous silver investor researches a project and invests his own money, the entire mining world pays attention.

My opinion—and you get that for free—is that the silver bulls in the market are going to be buying this stock all day long.  The last financing was done several months ago and since that time the silver price has rocketed up.
 

Do Not Miss My E-Mail Tomorrow!!!

 
Tomorrow I’m giving you this stock and it is a SILVER BULL SPECIAL.

The exact right stock, at the exact right time.

The Market is recognizing silver as a cornerstone metal for renewable energy and De-Carbonization. Silver is now ESG-friendly.  Huge industrial demand is meeting a declining USD.  The silver chart is already showing that’s a power combination.  In fact, if this is one of the most bullish charts I see anywhere:
 
 

Geologically, there are dozens of known silver veins on the property.  A mining team that’s used to creating BIG valuations in their pubco’s controls the asset.  And this is all happening when a major breakout bull-run in silver has never held more potential   This is the stuff I dream of at night!

The people involved, the management group is Grade A.  They are known to us and known to the market.

They are as credible and successful as you can get.  We already love them because they have made us tons of money. 

Institutions love them too—because one of their two big winners in the last 24 months went from 50 cents – $8/share and became one of the most profitable mines on earth, and the other went from 40 cents – $5 in five months.

The shareholder register speaks volumes about the quality of the deal.  The smartest, most influential in the business are in love with this one.

The timing…….I’ll admit is 100% luck.  These guys just happened to bring this silver deal public at perhaps the most bullish moment in the history of silver demand. That wasn’t planned.  But the way it happened–that they purchased these silver assets months and months ago when the rest of the world was paying no attention at all to silver–has set us up very well.

Tomorrow—you get all of the details you need.   I’m thrilled to be able to bring a silver deal of this quality to you.  Especially right now with the silver sector booming…

A True Blue Sky Stock for Post-Covid–GlobalX (JET-TSXv)

0

Never waste a good crisis. And for the airlines, COVID has been a crisis. 

But for Miami-based GlobalX (JET-TSXv)—a new airline hoping to launch within weeks—it has been a blue sky opportunity.

You see, now the small airlines are able to get veteran, high quality pilots, IT personnel, stewards and other staff that pre-COVID would have been near impossible. And with global industry hurting, renting planes is less than half the cost of what it was pre-COVID.

In fact, CEO Ed Wegel and CFO Ryan Goepel are set to take off—pending final FAA certification—on raising just $7 million.

So they are quite excited. And by the look of their stock chart, so are their investors.

Here’s what I call The Quick Facts:

QUICK FACTS

Trading Symbols:                             JET-TSX/JETMF-USA

Share Price Today:                           C$2.15

Shares Outstanding:                       35.7 Million (44.9 Million FD)

Basic Market Capitalization:         C$76.8 Million

Net Debt:                                         (C$0) Million

Enterprise Value:                           $76.8 Million

The next big catalyst for GlobalX is their FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) certification in the USA—the final step of five that any new airline has to go through.

In a recent interview, Goepel said certification is on track with pilots and FAs in training. GlobalX has scheduled the remaining tasks with the FAA, subject to COVID restrictions.

Global X will operate under ACMI agreements (aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance)—which is almost just like you as a regular person would rent a car. If you hired a driver with your rent a car, that would be ACMI.

So think of GlobalX as a wholesale charter company. They hustle out to all the big airlines now—in this unique time when the industry is obviously at record low utilization—and secure planes really cheap, and lock those rates in for as long as they can.

And we are not talking ANY planes—we are talking YOUNG planes. These are planes that can fly more hours per month and have a lot lower maintenance costs—than what normal charter airlines could ever get in a busy aviation market.

“When you look at capital outlay, instead of putting out $2,000,000 (i.e. pre-COVID), we’re able to put out $400,000 effectively now, get the exact same asset,” Goepel told me. He estimates their cost is 30-40% lower than any competitor—especially the other airlines that have big debt.

Their plan is to book 10-20 planes ASAP, with as long a contract as they can get at these cheap rates. If they can achieve 150 hours per month per plane at $1,000 operating profit per flight hour, their business becomes very easy for the Street to model. (That helps to get a better multiple of cash flow on valuation)

Not only do they have to hustle their supply, they have to hustle their customers. That would be the regular charter business (think sun-worshippers at peak times like Xmas & Easter, and summer vacation; peak travel times). But it would also be groups like

  1. pro sports teams and other group travel customers
  2. Major Hotel/Casino groups
  3. National airlines for small countries (think South America)
  4. Cargo

All of a sudden these customer groups can take advantage of higher quality staff on relatively new planes in a company with a much lower cost structure (no legacy assets and no debt).

So what happens is—the above 4 customer groups do the marketing to fill the seats on the plane, and then GlobalX flies them. That guarantees every flight will be profitable for JET-TSXv. If it’s not, the charter gets cancelled. There is no large itinerary of set flights that fly no matter what.

Example–they just announced a deal to fly between Venezuela and Miami for Estelar. Estelar pays GlobalX–in advance–a fee per flight and Estelar takes all the risk on whether that flight is full and profitable or not.

Ed Wegel is Chairman, CEO and Founder of Global X. He’s a seasoned airline executive who started in the industry in the 1980’s – first as an investment banker for Lehman Brothers in NY in 1987—where he worked on airline restructurings and commercial leases. 

Subsequently he was a senior executive and/or Board Member for several private and public airlines from 1991 to the present. Ed has seen almost every iteration of the industry, every business model and every up and down.

Global X announced a business combination with Canada Jetlines Ltd. to take the company public on December 13, 2019, well before the North American onset of COVID-19.

Although the deal didn’t close until June 23, 2020, its timing put Global X in a unique position to plan for a recovery.

Wegel, Goepel and the team expect to fly 10 planes in 2022. At 150 hours per month, they believe each plane will generate US$1.8MM EBITDA per year and the 10 plane fleet would generate US$18MM of EBITDA. After ~US$4MM of overhead, profit would be US$14MM which scales up to US$32MM as the monthly hours increase to the long-term goal of 300 hours per month.

Global X plans to operate in the charter and cargo subsectors of the industry. Direct comps are limited so we present historical EV/EBITDA multiples for Canadian airlines (AC-CA, EIF-CA), Couriers & Logistics (UPS-US, FDX-US, DWP-DE) and Air Cargo Transport (AAWW-US, ATSG-US, CJT-CA).

Historic EV/EBITDA multiples range from ~4x to 14x and average ~9x for all of the listed companies.

Using the company’s 10 plane estimates and from above and a range EV/EBITDA multiples from 5x to 10x, simple math gets an EV ranging from C$116MM to C$231MM for the 150 flight hours per month case versus the current basic EV of ~C$70MM. Obviously, utilization and fleet size will increase the EBITDA estimates.

Just as a couple final notes:

  1. With respect to cargo operations, management believes that its A321 strategy provides an invaluable solution to an impending problem. The current freighter market is dominated by the Boeing 767, 757 and 737 freighters. There are currently 313 757f in service with the two largest operators being FedEx (107 planes with and an average age of 28.7 years) and UPS (75 planes with an average age of 27.1 years). These planes are reaching end of life with limited options for replacement.

Management believes that the market will shift to 737-800 or A321 aircrafts simply due to logistics (cargo capacity and operating economics) and believes that its A321 cargo aircraft will be an extremely attractive option.

  1. If all goes well this year, Global X also plans to spin out Canada Jetlines Vacations brand into a separate Canadian listed company. Global X shareholders will get a proportionate interest in Canada Jetlines.

This all sounds very rosy doesn’t it? Except they can’t fly yet. But they have certainly got a strong plan, and have done a lot with just $7 million in capital.

DISCLOSURE–I am long GlobalX

The Only Junior In Both The TWO Hottest Gold Plays

0

One Sassy Company, Two Hot Plays

Two of the biggest, most successful gold plays in the world this year have been Eskay Creek in Northwest B.C. and the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt (CNGB).

And the only company with great land positions in both of them now is Sassy Resources (SASY-CSE / SSYRF-OTCQB). They just optioned a large, strategic land position (156 km2) in the play including a key claim block (Gander North) right beside (like, I mean adjoining) the Jonathan’s Pond discovery by Exploits Discovery (NFLD-CSE). Logistics are easy and cheap – Gander North has a paved road going right through it plus power, with upcoming drilling right off the main road. 

Significantly, Jonathan’s Pond has Newfoundland’s highest-grade anomalies in glacial till at surface – 410,000 ppb or 410 g/t Au – and these anomalies trend onto Sassy’s Gander North, one of eight claim blocks they’ve optioned for a 100% interest. You couldn’t ask for a much better starting point than that. Keep in mind, seasoned Newfoundland prospectors consider 5 to 25 ppb Au till anomalies as very prospective for high-grade gold mineralization like New Found Gold’s (NFG-TSXV) discovery intercept (19 meters @ 92.9 g/t Au) at the Keats Zone 15 km southwest of Gander North. 

Sassy CEO Mark Scott has structured this deal to give shareholders maximum leverage. All the Newfoundland properties are going into a wholly- owned subsidiary called (conveniently) Gander Gold Corporation, because he knows he should have a GREAT problem on his hands within the next two years.

That is, if one of these high potential assets – either his Foremore Property in the Eskay Camp or any of the Newfoundland claim blocks – are able to get to a maiden resource calculation, or there’s a big discovery, the spin-out options are compelling. ALL the value in a stock comes from its lead asset – even if the other ones are “pretty good” – but Sassy has just doubled its chances, plus it’s getting the drill bit turning in Newfoundland ahead of summer activity in Northwest B.C. 

The Eskay Camp play had a big comeback in the last year as Skeena Resources became a 10 bagger, and Eskay Mining also had a HUGE run (I’m so happy for CEO Mac Balkam!). They were able to build on years – no, decades – of previous drilling & geological work.

Sassy’s grassroots Westmore gold-silver discovery in the southwest part of its Foremore Property is a large virgin piece of ground that had its initial drill program last fall. Results showed there is a big mineralized system there, and CEO Scott will be drilling it like Swiss cheese this summer.

It’s a “sassy” move into Newfoundland, though. The leader there is New Found Gold which exploded into its IPO last year with over a $100 million market cap on just one drill hole — but what a drill hole it was! They hit 19 meters of 93 g/t Au. That’s 3 OUNCES per ton. Then, just this week, they announced another hole of 24.8 g/t Au over 13.8 meters and 25 g/t over 10.3 meters. 

And just as important as those great results are, NFG said they intend to list on the NYSE American exchange during the first half of this year. That will bring a HUGE investor base attention to this play. 

I expect the CNGB to be The Big Gold Play in Canada in 2021. Many tens of millions of dollars will be spent here by a few dozen companies. Gander will probably turn into Stewart, B.C., or Red Lake, Ontario, where hotel rooms are impossible to get and residents will rent out their garage and a space heater for $300 a night. 

Sassy has the leverage – there’s only 38 million shares out (market cap = $23 million). Exploits has 60 million out. Labrador Gold (LAB-TSXV) has 110 million out while New Found Gold has 148 million shares outstanding. 

Look, gold exploration is high risk. But not only can Sassy raise millions of dollars and still have a tight share count, they have Westmore and the broader Foremore Property (again, the only company with a major presence in both the Eskay Camp and Newfoundland). 

In a perfect world, Sassy investors will get a spin-out company in 24 months with an incredibly sexy gold asset in Newfoundland.

Don’t forget Mark Scott’s background – he was head of Vale’s operations in Thompson, Manitoba. He has successfully managed large operations. He’s a do-er. Now he has two programs to run this summer, with a veteran team of geologists and strong financial backing. 

I just think at an Enterprise Value of just $20 million in this market – with gold still doing very well at $1,850/oz – the upside potential here is remarkable with one good drill hole. They’re in elephant country, and both New Found Gold and Jonathan’s Pond are already elephants. 

The team, the assets and now the valuation is here to make this a big winner for investors. Sassy’s Gander Gold has drill-ready targets. I think it’s one of the best drill plays I see in 2021.  

DISCLOSURE–Sassy Resources has been a paying client of the Oil and Gas Corporate Bulletin in the past 12 months.

LEVIATHAN GOLD IS FOSTERVILLE SOUTH 2.0

0

 
 
Leviathan Gold Ltd (LVX-TSXv) is the junior gold miner that has EVERY SINGLE ATTRIBUTE that took Fosterville South from 40 cents to $5 in the first six months of 2020.

That is why I think Leviathan Gold is ready to be my early candidate for Stock of The Year in 2021.  

Just like Fosterville South, Leviathan Gold:

  1. Is in the same geologic basin as the Fosterville Mine (125 km away)
  2. Has a large enough staked area to host a mine
  3. Was staked by Rex Motton the same geologist at the same time
  4. Has the same high grade historical workings scattered all over the property
  5. Has Bryan Slusarchuk, James Hutton and Motton as large shareholders.

Where Leviathan could actually be in a better spot than Fosterville South at its IPO is…is that it’s starting out fully funded ($12 M cash), has institutional ownership, the Market knows the regional story and most importantly—a large drill campaign is starting immediately.  News flow will be fast, and steady right out of the gate.

And folks, today is DAY ONE of trading.  Nobody gets to buy before you do. 

Leviathan’s two main assets are LITERALLY COVERED with historic high-grade gold discoveries right at surface.  Just look at how the gold dots—each one a high grade gold showing, or a historical working—blanket the entire properties in the map below.  The hardest part has been narrowing down exactly where to get started.
 


Talk about your first world problems!!

There has been no modern work done on these properties.  NONE.  That makes most geologists absolutely giddy.

All of these historic high-grade discoveries were made between 1862 and 1908…..then forgotten for two generations.

The high-grade gold that was discovered all across this project in the 1800s was done by men with no geological expertise, no equipment, no ability or inclination to figure out how much gold is really here.  They just followed their nose along super high-grade (and obvious) veins.

Those miners had no idea how much gold there may have been a bit deeper.  But to be fair to them, at this point in time doctors treated toothaches with cocaine and mental illness with bloodletting!!  It was that long ago…..

I’ve been involved with junior gold mining since 1990 and I’ve never seen a junior miner with this much historical, high grade gold near surface in a First World country—in flat topography, surrounded by farmers.

Logistics & supply chain here is easy.

The few times I’ve seen a project that looks this good it is either in the middle of a remote jungle, on top of a mountain or in a place that I wouldn’t go without an entire army to protect me. 

Instead Leviathan has this in a part of Australia where the geology and location make it the lowest cost, easiest mining imaginable.

They still have to find more gold to make this a success……but wow, what a setup.

 

Connect Those Yellow Dots…
 

 
Almost 1.5 million ounces of gold has already been produced from Leviathan’s land package.  This was all done by old techniques—very, very shallow and with no systematic exploration.  It was just old-time prospectors picking away at the gold at surface and trying to live another day. 

For CEO Luke Norman—who Slusarchuk and Hutton hand-picked—his job is simple: follow the many high-grade historic discoveries (all those yellow dots in the map above) underground to find out how much gold is truly there–not  to mention the potential for additional gold occurrences that may lie shallow under cover.

Past mining here was focused purely on gold outcrops. There is clearly lots of potential for multiple large, high-grade gold systems.

Leviathan’s two assets­­–– Avoca and Timor—total 250 square kilometers.  All of those gold dots with historic discoveries are an invaluable roadmap for the geologists. They basically tell you where to start drilling. 

Those gold dots represent REAL GOLD —— so no guesswork required.  None of the gold dots were properly developed.  At each location the 1800s miners went down to about 30 meters; the odd time 100 meters. 

Then they stopped.

And nobody picked up from there for a couple of reasons:

1 – The First World War arrived and all young, able Australian men went to war
2 – The region flooded in with water…..

Soon a couple of decades had passed and there wasn’t anyone left who had worked these properties.

The entire region was forgotten.  Exploration in Australia went west to Perth and then northeast to Queensland.  Western Australia is so blessed with abundant minerals that nobody cared about this region until….

Kirkland Lake hit the motherlode with the Fosterville Mine more than 100 years later…in 2017/2018.  That would be just AFTER geologist Rex Motton had already staked out all of the land, 1,500 kilometers in total all around Kirkland Lake.

When Kirkland hit, those 1,500 kilometers suddenly became some of the most coveted properties on the planet. 

Fosterville South was the first big win from Motton’s timely work.  Leviathan which was spun-out from Fosterville South looks to be next.

 

Taking All These Historic
Gold Discoveries Deep Underground
 

 
Timor’s historic data is below.   There is 67,000 ounces of historic production at an average grade of 11.4 g/t. Both the depths of the historic drilling and the high grades discovered create reason for excitement.

Look at how shallow the work at all of those discoveries was.  It is very clear that the old prospectors were just scratching the surface. With the grade of gold they found it is tantalizing to think of what Leviathan may learn by finally properly drilling this in the coming months.
 


Most of the work ceased before 1900.  Now Leviathan is going to take these discoveries up to a full kilometer underground……exploring exponentially more of what the property has to offer. 

The big hope obviously is that all of that high grade continues down, down, down.  The drilling that starts in February will start to fill us in.

Avoca is just like Timor.  It has abundant high grade gold at surface, with incredible exploration potential not yet taken to depth.  750,000 grams of historic production at an average grade of 32 g/t –– YES THAT IS THE AVERAGE GRADE…..one ounce per ton!!!!

You don’t have to be a geologist to understand the graphic from Avoca below.  Look at all those historic workings and openings. These weren’t even held at the time by different people.

They were all little, postage stamp sized claims with stunningly high grades……just look at those numbers. 75 grams a ton, 57 grams a ton, 69 grams a ton, 55.3 grams.  Come on!   How can this project still be sitting here not properly explored….
 


If you just simply line up the underground openings, you can see that they continue to depths and some of them line up with diorite dykes that appears to be a control on the mineralization.

This initial drilling at Leviathan isn’t about drilling trying to find something huge.  It is already sitting right there in front them.  The drilling now is about putting some numbers together (delineating) to see how big and consistent this high grade mineralization is.  Could it support a resource calculation or–way down the road–a full-fledged mine plan?  That’s what drilling will tell us.  There are no guarantees!

But with $12 million in the bank and the lowest cost operating jurisdiction imaginable they have the money to get after it really hard and really fast.  More drill holes get done here per dollar spent than anywhere.

So I do expect the exploration cycle here to be much faster here than normal.  They’re not going to have to interrupt drilling for a financing.

The drills turn in February.  Starting in April or May, it’s just going to be press release after press release after press release.  Will they show more of that same type of high grade gold we see in all those historical showings?  I hope so.  But nobody knows.

The only thing I know for sure is that I have never seen a better set up for exploration success than Leviathan Gold–LVX-TSXv.

FOSTERVILLE SOUTH 2.0 LISTS TOMORROW

K92 Mining and Fosterville South Were 10-Baggers

FOSTERVILLE SOUTH 2.0 LISTS TOMORROW–

YOU GET IT DAY ONE!!!



The single most successful team in junior mining in the last two years has a brand new exploration company that will trade TOMORROW.  That’s right–I’m giving it to you on DAY ONE.

Their last two stocks were both 10-baggers for me and my subscribers.  So you can bet this team has my attention, and I begged them to let me tell you about it in the first few days of trading so EVERYBODY could benefit.

Today is the background.  Tomorrow is the symbol.

In the summer of 2019 my portfolio was enjoying a huge run in Bryan Slusarchuk’s  K92 Mining (KNT-TSX) when I got a call from the man who introduced me to Bryan many years ago.

“You better call Bryan.  He’s got something special and you’re going to want to know about it.”

As K92 was fast becoming my Stock of the Year in 2019, I got right on that.  That took a couple days, as Bryan was becoming a man-in-demand.  His K92 was growing into one of the largest, highest grade orebodies discovered in recent times.  In the two years the stock has gone from $0.50 – $9.00  Every banker and analyst on the Street wants his attention now.

That call turned into Fosterville South – FSX-TSXv which turned into my Stock of the Year in 2020. Bryan went through how he was teaming up with Chairman James Hutton—whom I knew well as a long-time subscriber of mine.  Hutton had developed a tight relationship with an Aussie geologist by the name of Rex Motton who had accumulated a large gold play in southern Australia—with some eye-popping grades.

Prior to the Fosterville IPO, I interviewed Bryan, Hutton and Motton and came to understand…well, everything that we all know now:
  1. 1-2 oz (30-60 g/t) gold at or near surface
  2. Lots of historical production
  3. But no modern work done on the properties
  4. In the middle of farmland and forest, making logistics very cheap
  5. Kirkland Lake’s Fosterville Mine, right nearby, was the single most profitable gold mine in the world at the time
Members of my Premium Service and I participated in the 40 cent IPO financing.  The stock opened at 90 cents, traded there for 3 days and ran to $5 in under four months—on HUGE VOLUME.

That meant that I had nearly a 13 BAGGER in the books for 2020 before 6 months of the year were over.

Now, I can’t tell you their next play—also in Australia—will do the same thing. But I can tell you the geology is VERY similar.  You get the name and trading symbol tomorrow–the day it lists.  This has a shot at being The Stock of the Year for 2021–for you too.

Because of the historical gold numbers and “closology” to Fosterville, we all knew FSX would be something special. The market gave us that feedback as well—there was incredible institutional interest out of the gate—from around the world!!!  Crazy….for an exploration stock, this was unlike anything we had ever seen.

When I say we, I really mean management.  I’m pretty close to this group so they shared the market euphoria in those pre-IPO days.

Fosterville South is so sexy because it’s so close to the Fosterville Mine in Australia, operated by Kirkland Lake Gold (KL-NYSE/TSX).  The Fosterville Mine has been the single most profitable mine on earth for a couple years thanks to the Swan Zone, a 2 M oz. deposit at 2 ounces or 60 g/t per ton.
 

The Swan Zone is a freak of nature. Not only is it high grade and unbelievably profitable—it’s in a first world country and surrounded by suburban and farming communities.  Infrastructure and logistics is incredible. 

By that I mean drilling and operations are incredibly cheap.

Fosterville South had/has a good sized property on that same trend that already had high grade historical production on it—in multiple locations!

An investor just could not ask for a better set up than that.  
 

Same Team, Same Neighborhood, Same Set-up

 
Well folks, I think history is about to repeat itself.  Get ready, because the same team is bringing a very similar asset package to market—again with a low valuation, but this time with a full treasury of $12 million.

This may even be a better setup than Fosterville South (40 cents to $5 in months)?  How could I say that?

For one, the treasury is already full.  By the way, $12 million goes a long way when drill holes only cost $50,000.  Second, drilling will start immediately.

I’m not predicting the result but I think you will agree that the potential of this setup is not debatable.  After what Fosterville South did–everyone in the market is also going to want a piece of the next one from the same group.

By being a reader of mine, you are one of the first to hear about it!

This is not a developing story to circle back to later in 2021.  This is happening now.  Drills will start turning within weeks.   I am already on the edge of my seat.

This new company has two large properties that are quite close to each other in southern Australia, and both have an astounding number of historical high grade gold occurrences AND several shafts that became producers 150 years ago—at grades of 75 g/t, 55 g/t, 53 g/t etc….

Those high grade numbers mean well over 1 ounce per ton and even over 2 ounces per ton! 

The past work done on the project dates back to the 1800s where old-timers literally just picked the high-grade gold off the surface.  There has been no work done here with modern techniques and those historic high grade discoveries are EVERYWHERE.

An exploration punt yes —— but what an incredible looking piece of land.  This team is starting at 2nd base with so many historical workings.  No homeruns needed here, just a solid single will bring the runner to home plate.

There is just so much gold already discovered on the property and it is all super high grade. You literally can dig up gold almost everywhere.   The biggest challenge for the team has really been figuring out where to focus first.

That is one high-class problem to have.

Fosterville South helped make 2020 a GREAT YEAR for my portfolio.

This team’s new stock has me so excited because I think it’s a 2021 look-alike to FSX. The macro situation is the same as 2020–Central Banks have printed so much money that you know the gold miners are going to have another big run. 

This new pubco has the right team, the right assets and a full treasury—and it is hitting the ground running—with speed—the value creation here will be much quicker than average junior.  They are cashed up, know exactly what they are going after and the drills start turning ASAP.

There is no reason this can’t be the The Stock of the Year for 2021, just as FSX was for me in 2020.

The drills are turning in February and that should mean press release, after press release after press release.  If the news is good—this team and these assets will grab the market’s attention and keep it for months. 

The big junior gold mining successes have the three elements of SIZE, GRADE and SPEED.  This stock promises to have all of them in the cheapest, least complicated and hottest gold camps on the planet.

While this is exploration (never forget that!), the land is littered with historical high-grade discoveries from 150 years ago.  The job for this team is to get out there, delineate what they have and quantify it for the market.

Most junior exploration punts are about trying to find a needle in a haystack.  That is why it often takes up to three years for a junior to get a resource calculation completed. 

This stock isn’t about searching for that needle…….it has a box of needles that is sitting on top of the hay thanks to the historical discoveries.   That means that this project should develop much faster.

And you are hearing about it on DAY ONE.  The IPO is tomorrow.  BE READY!!
