After the price of gold’s best rise of February on record, there was not rush at PDAC compared to previous more successful seasons. This year we have seen a much more comfortable registration line. Hope on junior mining market governed. The question is who will bring a sustainable funding to junior mining companies. Manny brokerage agencies specialised on this sector have disappeared. Bank brokers are usually not permitted to recommend junior mining stock. Therefore the atmosphere sparely allows positive notes for the current year. New cash will be required. May we hope that private sustainable investing will play a catalyst role? Fact is that we are at a new turning point with huge responsible challenges in this sector. In the expectation of a future rally of gold and silver we hope for a proactive engagement of ethical investments. The next months we will strongly intensify our ethical assessment for a new selection of CSR junior mining stocks.
