Some Very important Ideas when it comes to Review I found this article to be incredibly spot on. Several here will go nuts on the commentary, but the Rulz really do work. If a company has a good project, they will make sure you can find the information you need to evaluate the project. To this list I would add:
- Does the company have respected analyst that cover the stock?
- Does the company meet the goals it sets to the investors?
- Are they sufficiently capitalized to actually do what they say they are going to do?
As Brent stated, it doesn't mean you can't make money on companies that promote, but the investor needs to be on the A Game!
I would also strongly suggest that people here who see these high grade results use the Drill interval calculator stated in the article.... It will help you understand why sometimes the high grade isn't quite what you might think. To use this, it is extremely important for the company reporting to tell the investor, how the DH grade is broken out. Example, when a company only says 100 feet grading 10 grams, and doesn’t provide a break out of the grade within this, you should be very concerned. A responsible company will tell you about the high grade results that occur within the drilled interval. If they don’t, it is another indication that something isn’t on the up and up. As an example, If you look at Pretium, you will see that they break out all high grade intercepts so that an analyst can actually see what the reported drill hole actually looks like.
Do your own due diligence, hopefully using these rules to help you make a good investment in any Junior miner.
