The resource section of the BMR Top 50 Opportunities List unveiled in early December 2015 is up an impressive 185% in 9 months (247% annualized return) with two-thirds of those 39 picks posting triple-digit percentage gains. 

This compares to a 57% advance for the Venture and a 22% climb in Gold during the same period.  The TSX is up 11% since then, the Dow has advanced 3.6% while the NASDAQ is up slightly.

Individual category performances (comprising 50 stocks) are as follows:

PRODUCERS:  Up 129%

NEAR-PRODUCERS:  Up 198%

EXPLORERS:  Up 186%

EXPLORER SLEEPERS UNDER A NICKEL:  Up 284%

NON-RESOURCE:  Up 26%

In tonight’s report is an updated performance review of each category through September 2, and comments on the best opportunities entering what should be a bullish final 4 months of 2016.  During bull market years since 2003, the Venture has finished December an average of nearly 30% above its August close.  Prices are up significantly over the last 7 months but they are going to go higher, and many stocks that haven’t moved much yet will start to join in. 

Overall, 40 or 80% of the 50 picks have increased in value while 10 are down.  Seventeen stocks out of 50 (34%) have surged 200% or more.  The average return so far for all 50 companies is 150% or 200% on an annualized basis.

Pure Gold Mining (PGM, TSX-V), which released more high-grade drill results from its Madsen Project this morning, tops the list with a gain of 529% followed by Cordoba Minerals (CDB, TSX-V) at 515%, Lithium X Energy (LIX, TSX-V) at 468%, Kiska Metals (KSK, TSX-V) at 467%, Brazil Resources (BRI, TSX-V) at 413% and Gold Standard Ventures (GSV, TSX-V) at 345%.

Not included in the above statistics are the 49 recent additions (New Additions), companies that have been added at various times since late February – most of them in just the last few months.  Combined, this group is already up 43% with Heart of Gold Camp leader Colorado Resources (CXO, TSX-V) setting the pace with a gain of 262%.  The company expanded its drill program at KSP after hitting high-grade intercepts in two-thirds of its first 30 drill holes at the Inel zone including 25.7 m grading 9.2 g/t Au.  CXO appears to have started a new uptrend after retracing to just below its rising 100-day moving average (SMA) last week.

BMR recently correctly predicted potential takeovers of both Dolly Varden Silver (DV, TSX-V) and Homestake Resource (HSR, TSX-V), up 244% and 64%, respectively, since we broke the story June 7 (click here) about Hecla Mining (HL, NYSE) purchasing 600 sq. km of claims in the Kitsault district (80 km SE of Heart of Gold Camp) near DV and HSR from a private group.  Homestake is being acquired by Auryn Resources (AUG, TSX-V) while Dolly Varden has raised $7.2 million to become debt free and fend off a hostile takeover bid (at least for now) by Hecla.

Almadex Minerals (AMZ, TSX-V) soared 134% in August on a drilling discovery at its El Cobre Cu-Au Porphyry Project in eastern Mexico.  AMZ closed at 95 cents today and has only 44 million shares outstanding.  Meanwhile, Lion One Metals (LIO, TSX-V) has been trading near multi-year highs after announcing it has arranged a $41 million financing as well as a comprehensive engineering, procurement and construction package for the development of the company’s 100%-owned and fully permitted Tuvatu Gold project in Fiji.  Also in Fiji, Thunderstruck Resources (AWE, TSX-V) is getting active and closed today at 12 cents. 

Clean Commodities (CLE, TSX-V), formerly Athabasca Nuclear, has built a powerful Canadian clean commodity brand that includes a compelling package of recent Lithium property acquisitions, including a massive land package beside Nemaska Lithium (NMX, TSX) at Whabouchi, as well as strategic PGE, Uranium and Diamond properties.  CLE’s large Labrador Trough Cu-Ni-PGE Project surrounds what could be an important drilling discovery-in-the-making at Northern Shield Resources‘ (NRN, TSX-V) Huckleberry Property.

Otis Gold (OOO, TSX-V), Battle Mountain Gold (BMG, TSX-V) and Purepoint Uranium (PTU, TSX-V) were all strong performers in August, climbing 50%, 49% and 31%, respectively.  Otis and Battle Mountain are both in the midst of drill programs while NexGen Energy (NXE, TSX) has made a high-grade drilling discovery approximately 300 m south-southwest of PTU’s Hook Lake JV’s Spitfire mineralization.
