In this interview pro mining investor David Erfle provides his commentary on the gold price and junior gold stock sector. He explains the recent GDXJ and SILJ rebalancing and how it affected many junior miners. 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.

We are also now getting fantastic flush gas production from Bayhanli-2 our top producer to date” Trillion is an oil and gas producing company with multiple assets throughout Turkiye and Bulgaria.

“I tried to teach them [geologists Rick hired to work for his brokerage] how to turn rocks into money. And the best way to teach somebody how to turn rocks into money, is not by merely doing geology.

“The pure coal plays are trading at a huge, huge discount to inherent values.

“In our sector [junior mining] it’s never different. And so its very, very predictable corporate behavior and investment behavior. It’s trying to having a layer of objectivity to understand where you are in that cycle and invest accordingly. And so when you start to see, I’ll call it ‘low-risk M&A’, that’s normally the sign that you are at the beginning of a sustained movement in the underlying commodity price and obviously those equities tend to follow that,” shared Dr. Adshead-Bell Nicole Adshead-Bell is the Director of Cupel Advisory.

Regenx Tech Corp. just commissioned module one of a four module plant in Tennessee. Commercial production from module one is expected to begin within 90 days. This is the first of a minimum of four plants Regenx expects to build throughout the USA. Each plant will yield around US$15mm/year and clean tech companies can expect to receive a 15x cashflow multiple. Some clean tech companies over a billion-dollar market cap receive a 60x multiple. CEO Greg Pendura says that as Regenx executes its growth plan over the next 3-4 years the company’s market cap should rise from its C$30mm market cap to over $1billion. Regenx has proprietary clean technology which it is employing at its plant in Tennessee to recover platinum and palladium from used diesel CCs. Historically, smelting has been the dominate commercial method to recover Pd and Pt from used CCs. But smelters have a limited capacity, are environmentally hazardous and now refuse to accept diesel CCs due to the processing inefficiencies they create. This ope
