David Erfle Reveals His Top Three Performing Precious Metals Junior Mining Stocks
Pro Investor David Erfle believes “gold stock weakness should be bought.” David shares his top three performing gold and silver junior mining stocks in this MSE episode. He also provides commentary on recent precious metals and miner price action and discusses how he has managed his portfolio over the past month.
David Erfle is a self-taught mining sector investor. He stumbled upon the mining space in 2003 as he was looking to invest into a growing sector of the market. After researching the gains made from the 2001 bottom in the tiny gold and silver complex, he became fascinated with this niche market. So much so that in 2005 he decided to sell his home and invest the entire proceeds from the sale into junior mining companies. When his account had tripled by September, 2007, he decided to quit his job as the Telecommunications Equipment Buyer at UCLA and make investing in this sector his full-time job. David founded the Junior Miner Junky subscription-based newsletter in April, 2017 and writes a weekly column for precious metals news service Kitco.com, whose website attracts nearly a million visits every day.

“Immense Untapped Potential” Confirmed at Frotet Gold Project says Kenorland CEO Zach Flood
Kenorland Minerals CEO Zach Flood stated: “The success of the deep drilling at Regnault continues to underscore the immense untapped potential of the Frotet Project. These results not only confirm the continuity of high-grade mineralisation on the R11 veins, but also highlight the increasing scale of the system. Regnault remains open in multiple directions and we believe we are still in the early days of what could be a much larger gold discovery.”
Kenorland looks to identify gaps in exploration maturity within prospective districts based on large scale compilation and integration of geological, geochemical and geophysical data. Kenorland’s management team and advisors have extensive experience in project and target generation from continent-wide area selection to deposit scale exploration across the globe. Combining the team’s extensive exploration experience with an integrated approach places Kenorland in an optimal position to generate shareholder wealth through JV partnerships, generated royalties, equity positions and new discoveries.
