Junior Mining Stocks can Offer Tremendous Leverage to Commodity Prices

For investors seeking extraordinary leverage to commodity prices – especially critical minerals and precious metals – junior mining stocks can offer dynamic wealth creation. Gains are provided in multiple ways including: 1) ownership in projects of target commodities, 2) significant mineral discoveries, 3) delineation of resources, 4) takeover of discovering company, and 5) acquisition of new mineral projects.

In bull markets for minerals and metals, exploration stocks can provide very high investment leverage to commodities as small companies typically respond much greater to positive sector or corporate developments than major miners. This is simply as a result of companies respective sizes. A significant mineral discovery or property acquisition usually impacts a junior company's value far greater than a large miner. Thus it's not uncommon for shares in small listed exploration companies to increase 2 to 10-fold in value on significant news, like drilling results – sometimes immediately.

Many successful resource investors seek good, small companies (under $10 million market capitalization) for greater upside potential. Most such explorers are not covered by analysts or owned by institutional investors. The value of smaller companies is typically determined by exploration success, commodity prices, and sentiment in the industry. By staying in the know, investors can find gems well ahead of the herd.
