The Gold Sector Consolidation is Showing Signs of Ending Soon
The gold miner consolidation, which began in early August of 2016, is giving us strong signals of being close to ending soon. Miner ETF traders have been treated to multiple whipsaw moves since the beginning of June, making it nearly impossible to successfully trade the sector. Some of this frustration can be attributed to US equity fund managers who have been book squaring into quarter end this week before heading to the Hamptons for the Independence Day weekend (US markets will be closed next Tuesday, July 4th). read more David Erfle

Silver in particular is gruesomely undervalued and has huge upside potential from here. read more at The Gold Report

Yukon Gold (and Silver, Copper, Nickel, Platinum Too)
When you embark on a tour of the upcoming mines of the Yukon the first thing which hits you is the sheer size of the place. Miles and miles of untouched, trackless, wilderness separates many of the properties from any sort of population centre. To cover eight properties and a full-scale mining conference in six days means a lot of fixed wing flying, helicopter jumps and bumpy drives down gravel (if you’re lucky) roads.
