  • Junior Mining Darwinism: Innovate or Die

    Oct 17, 2024 | ceo.ca | James Kwantes

    By James Kwantes Published first at PatreonTough capital markets for juniors are a brutal Darwinian filter. It's never been easy to tell the bargains from the zeroes around TSXV bottoms – never mind identifying a bottom. Cautiously though … with the index around 600 yet again and metals prices ascendant, this may not be a bad place to start looking. Access to CapitalOne historically reliable filter has been to focus on companies that find ways to find capital – rain or shine.

What a beauty! $OGN.V takeout by Triple Flag rewards investors who put their $$ into solid companies rather than chasing the highest-risk speculations in the sector https://t.co/q1N4ukT7hQ

Nice one, Paddy! Not the outcome I expected, which was a combination of Orogen's 1% and Altius's 1.5% NSRs into a single company. Great win also for Brian Dalton and Altius $ALS.T which owns 19.9% of Orogen shares in addition to the Silicon-Merlin 1.5% NSR
