The resource section of the BMR Top 50 Opportunities List unveiled in early December 2015 is up a staggering 183% in just under 8 months (279% annualized return) with 60% of the 39 picks posting triple-digit percentage gains.
This compares to a 54% advance for the Venture and a 24% climb in Gold during the same period. The TSX is up 9.2% since then, the Dow has advanced 3.1% while the NASDAQ is up less than 1%.
Individual category performances (comprising 50 stocks) are as follows:
PRODUCERS: Up 141%
NEAR-PRODUCERS: Up 203%
EXPLORERS: Up 160%
EXPLORER SLEEPERS UNDER A NICKEL: Up 347%
NON-RESOURCE: Up 43%
In today’s report is an updated performance review of each category through July 29, and comments on individual companies for our subscribers.
In total, 41 or 82% of the 50 picks have increased in value while 9 are down over the last 8 months. The average return so far for all 50 companies is an impressive 152% or 232% on an annualized basis.
Kiska Metals (KSK, TSX-V) tops the list with a gain of 633% followed by Pure Gold (PGM, TSX-V) at 576%, Cordoba Minerals (CDB, TSX-V) at 531%, Brazil Resources (BRI, TSX-V) at 452% and Lithium X Energy (LIX, TSX-V) at 406%.
Not included in the above statistics are the 41 recent additions (New Additions), companies that have been added at various times since late February – most of them since the beginning of May. Combined, this group is already up nearly 60% with Heart of Gold Camp leader Colorado Resources (CXO, TSX-V) setting the pace with a gain of 354%.
Three other stocks in the Golden Triangle’s Heart of Gold Camp have posted returns in excess of 100% over a short period. One of them is Aben Resources (ABN, TSX-V) which has surged 214%. It has momentum and less than 20 million shares outstanding for a market cap of just over $3 million. Tudor Gold (TUD, TSX-V) has shot up 125% since it started trading just 2-and-a-half months ago while SnipGold (now part of Seabridge Gold) has also jumped 125%.
BMR recently correctly predicted potential takeovers of both Dolly Varden Silver (DV, TSX-V) and Homestake Resource (HSR, TSX-V), up 264% and 104%, respectively, since we broke the story June 7 (click here) about Hecla Mining (HL, NYSE) purchasing 600 sq. km of claims in the Kitsault district (80 km SE of Heart of Gold Camp) near DV and HSR from a private group. Homestake is being acquired by Auryn Resources (AUG, TSX-V) while Dolly Varden has raised $7 million to fend off a hostile takeover bid (at least for now) by Hecla.
Athabasca Nuclear is now Clean Commodities (CLE, TSX-V), building a powerful Canadian clean commodity brand that includes an impressive package of recent Lithium property acquisitions as well as strategic PGE, Uranium and Diamond properties.
The BMR Non-Resource category is picking up steam, led recently by technology play Deveron UAS (DVR, CSE) and medical marijuana play Aphria (APH, TSX-V). Deveron is up 150% since it resumed trading July 19 and should make further noise in August as Canada’s only publicly traded company with a service-based drone business focused on the agriculture sector.

Jon, Macarthur minerals had a press release last week regarding the exercise of the warrants, all the July 29th warrants have been exercised and a good chunk of the Aug 17 expiry warrants have been exercised. I think we are getting close to a recovery in that one.

Yes, I would agree Danny, MMS has been under pressure due to the exercise of these warrants which have already brought in $900,000 and should bring in another $400,000 by the middle of August. Recovery on the way.
