Not Complicated
If you believe the price of gold is in a firm upward trend, then among your gold assets you might want a junior with advanced stage exploration projects, recoverable ounces, potential for expansion of reserves, greenfields properties being explored by experienced geologists, a small share float, no history of market shennanigans, and a high ratio of ounces to shares. I can think of at least one.
