Here are the Sprott Mutual fund holdings–not exactly “juniors”, but a nice list nonetheless:

1 Colossus Minerals Inc.
2 Goldcorp Inc.
3 IAMGOLD Corp.
4 Jaguar Mining Inc.
5 Kinross Gold Corp.
6 Osisko Mining Corp.
7 Silver Bullion
8 Silver Wheaton Corp.
9 Wesdome Gold Mines. Ltd.
10 Yamana Gold Inc.

About half of these are also holdings in GDX.
Sprott is currently in the low 40’s.

YES there is a Mutual fund that focusses primarily on junior mining companies, particularly precious metals and it has superb management.

I refer to the Sprott Gold and Precious Minerals Fund that made me very good money prior to the 08 sell off and is now making a nice comeback.

John Embry is probably one of the most knowledgable and committed “Gold bugs” in the business!~

Australia Gold Rush 1872…..Miners halted in reported 20 oz/t Gold by water inflow at 250 feet. Virgin ground with possible bonanza grades to be mined next year with water flow problem solved.

Silver Orchid, needs only $10 million Australian (9 Canadian) to bring this high grade advanced property into production.

For full details of the Hill End Project, please see the qualifying report by Dr. Derek E. McBride, P.Eng. January 27, 2003. Dr. McBride’s summary states that “Golden Gully lies in the historic Hill End gold camp that produced the largest gold specimen ever found (639 pound gold “nugget”).

I had a look around last night. Always like breaking the code. The facts:

3km from a major explorer
A few km from a 28 bio $ mine.
Its a relatively unknown junior
2 Properties
3 holes in 2008! VMS found.
Found Graphite in 2009 (Test holes)
In 2014 the nearby mine will be depleted…
One of the properties has an astounding geological story…

Scanning the area I found a couple of companies

Explor
Temex (77 mio shares, 29 ct, close to Timmins)
LSG (too big already)
WTM (also too big, but interesting, recent find of 80m of 12+ au gr/t)
Niogold (62 mio shares, 20 ct, Malartic)
Rubicon (huge, way too big)
Lounor (small float)
Golden Valley Mines (small markt cap)
Amex Exploration (20 mio shares…)
Pelangio (Detour…67 mio shares (or 100??)…35ct.. but no new exploration? just Detour/Ghana)
BayField V. (<50 mio shares)

need to continue another time…
