7 Jul 2020
The world’s appetite for lithium has been hit with COVID-19 and uncertainty as to the volume of electric vehicles being sold. Which means the spot price of lithium – which is difficult to estimate in any event – has been dropping. Bad news for a lithium development company? Not at all says Farhad Abasov, Millennial […]
Cartier at Chimo: A Mine Within a Mine
21 Jun 2020
For the longest time, Cartier Resources (V.ECR) has been reporting high-grade gold from its Chimo Mine project. A couple of meters of +10 grams per ton (gpt) here and 16 gpt there.

Junior exploration companies often struggle to tell their story to investors.

There is gold all over the Yukon. Economic gold is a whole other story. Golden Predator’s (V.GPY) Brewery Creek mine has plenty of gold, some of it quite high grade. After all, Brewery Creek was a mine run by Viceroy Resources until the price of gold plunged to less than $300 an ounce in 2002. […]
