I need to tell you about a gold project. One that could quickly become the largest in America. Publicly, it contains 6-7 million ounces of gold. It also has nearly 3 million ounces of silver. That alone already makes it a top 10 gold reserve in the U.S. And at 1.6 grams per tonne, it’s already the fourth-highest-grade open-pit gold deposit. But I believe there is much more there than is currently publicly known. You see, the company went public almost a decade ago. Since then, it has completed a first resource assessment, a preliminary economic assessment, and a prefeasibility study. Those studies already showed a gem of a gold mine, boasting the superlatives I’ve already mentioned. They also showed the mine would produce gold on the cheap, with all-in sustaining costs of just US$526 per ounce when the mine starts up. And at current gold prices — now over $1,800 — this project is looking at a US$1.4 billion net present value (NPV) with a 27% internal rate of return (IRR)... at minimum. It's a world-class gold project by any measure. Those are incredible numbers considering the company that owns it only trades with a US$155 million market cap. As it stands, this could already be a 10-bagger. But there are a few unique circumstances afoot that could make it an even bigger win. First off, since the prefeasibility study, the company has done a significant amount of drilling to upgrade current resources from inferred to indicated, as well as to find new resources. Those results will be included in an upcoming feasibility study. And rock that was once treated as waste will be converted to revenue-generating ore, thereby improving the already incredibly robust economics. Not only that, but the project is incredibly leveraged to the price of gold. As I said, at current gold prices this project has a net present value of US$1.4 billion. But if gold prices rise to record levels, the value of this project could become 10, 20 times what the stock is trading for — or more. And there are even more reasons why these shares should be re-rated higher… The project is headed down the final stretch of permitting. You typically see projects trading at a discount early in the permitting process then that discount decreases as time goes forward and you get closer to approval. And I can say confidently that I think the project will be permitted for several reasons. Besides gold and silver, this project also has a large resource of antimony — a critical flame retardant used in military and electric applications that the U.S. currently produces none of. The government is entirely reliant on China for its antimony and would like that to change. As such, it’s already sent officials to this project to research the antimony there. Plus, the site as it stands is in very bad environmental shape from previous mining there under former owners. There are metals leaching into a stream. There is a blocked salmon passage. | China Attacks the U.S. With Lasers… Every. Single. Day. Have you heard about this? I hadn’t either. But it’s a fact: every single day China uses weapons on U.S. soldiers, many times resulting in damage and injuries. It’s gotten so bad that even The Wall Street Journal published a story about how China is using low-powered lasers to harass military planes... And now China is taking the fight to the next level with “magic crystals” that can produce high-powered lasers unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. In short, China has built a “Death Star.” The only way we can counter it is with laser weapons of our own... That’s why in 2018 Congress authorized $317 million to build America lasers (the largest amount in history). I’ve found the only laser defense firm in the world (outside of China) that can build what America needs — and early investors in this firm will retire early.

So because of the antimony and the environmental cleanup, I think this project is going to get the green light. And so do several other sophisticated mining companies and investors. Franco-Nevada has already purchased a 1.7% NSR. This was the earliest-stage royalty it's ever done on a project. It’s that good. Teck came in and owns 9.9% of the company. And billionaire John Paulson came in last year and backstopped a US$35 million financing. Paulson is famous for correctly predicting the housing crash and now is betting big on this tiny gold stock. You should too. And current levels present a prime entry point before the feasibility study and permits are delivered. Full details on how to capitalize on this opportunity are here.
