For the investment ages, investors have been met with this phrase- "keep some capital exposure to gold." That makes sense. Gold is a tangible store of value, an inflation hedge, and globally marketable. As important, it's not prone to the wild swings in individual stocks, where single-day double-digit declines are an almost daily occurrence. To be fair in the comparison, gold prices nearly touched that undesired threshold on April 15th, 2013,dropping 9%, making it the second worst daily loss since 1983.
Still, while gold showed it's susceptible to corrections, historically, it's a safer place to park investment capital. To take advantage of that, most investors bypass hoarding physical gold, instead buying exposure to the shiny metal through ETFs, futures markets, or companies mining it. The latter presents investors with the best opportunity to earn significant ROI, primarily from investing in companies positioned to bring the precious metal above ground or sitting atop proven reserves.
Keep this in mind, though. Investing in the mining sector is far from risk-free or for the faint of heart. Moves higher and lower can be frequent, and it's a fair bet that since the gold rush in the 1800s, many generations have created and lost significant wealth. For that reason, completing due diligence before selecting the investment vehicle is 100% advisable. After all, while that doesn't eliminate risk, it can significantly mitigate it by revealing reasons that support an investment proposition. It also shows that while not all miners are created or operating on equal ground, there are standouts. The investor attention given to Nevada Canyon Gold Corp. (OTC: NGLD) indicates it may be one of them.
Supporting Its Stocks Bullish Activity
Trading at $3.37 with a market cap of roughly $87 million and its stock 51% higher from its Q2 low*, Nevada Canyon presents itself as a uniquely structured natural resource entity strategically focused on Nevada—a region historically recognized for gold exploration and mining due to its very mining-friendly regulatory framework. While Nevada Canyon Gold Corp. is classified as a "junior" miner in size, the company is and has been building and managing an impressive diversified portfolio of precious metal assets and properties through strategic partnerships with capable operators. Coupled with a management team with over 30 years of experience in Nevada and an innovative value-creation strategy, the attention earned may result from investors recognizing Nevada Canyon's potential to capitalize on opportunities inherent to the gold rally that started in 2023 and brought gold prices to over $2421 last week. (*share price on July 16, 2024, 10:03 AM EST, Nasdaq. Price change from $2.20-$3.34, May 14, 2024-July 16, 2024)
While the tug of war between opinions of why the rally should or shouldn't stay intact seems to always be raging, the daily price changes of gold should be less concerning to investors in a company like Nevada Canyon, noting its property, capital structure, and asset base presents a unique and lower-risk investment opportunity than many of its sector peers. That makeup is especially important in the face of junior mining market weakness, particularly in the Canadian markets. Moreover, it's tangibly supported by recognizing Nevada Canyon's investment and acquisitions in royalty-generating mineral proprieties.
While already boasting an impressive portfolio, the company is working to get larger through a strategy that leverages its well-capitalized position to purchase distressed property assets available below market value. Adding new assets would fortify already accruing revenue streams, which could fall faster toward the company's bottom line resulting from its low overhead business model that leverages a distinctive combination of asset stability and growth potential through competitive advantages to maximize royalty and streaming business revenues. With plans to continue its mission of strategic acquisitions, the focus on building and managing a diversified, future cash-flowing portfolio may also provide an exit strategy via acquisition rather than investor ROI limited to only project cash flow.
Valuing The Tangibles
Still, while the former is specualtive, the latter supports the revenue-growth thesis. Nevada Canyon Gold Corp. already holds royalty and streaming potential on over 30,000 square miles in Nevada, the company has devised a strategy to monetize its assets more quickly. It intends to create royalty packages by acquiring royalty and revenue streams from smaller producing, pre-production, or pre-resource properties, and then selling these aggregated packages at higher valuations. This strategy is designed to maximize the value of individual properties through high-profit-margin aggregation while minimizing risk through diversification.
The company also stresses that the potential upside profit margins are much higher in pre-production royalties and streams by avoiding the high cost of putting mines into production. Its strategy relies heavily on letting other parties do the heavy lifting and expenditures. This, they say, creates short-term upside value in these assets while retaining a long-term royalty at a very low-cost basis, creating substantial upside value to its capital investments in the process.
Compelling Mineral and Metals Asset Portfolio
Spearheading that strategy are compelling portfolio assets. The Loman Project, a historic high-grade gold project located within the Walker Lane shear zone in Nevada, exemplifies Nevada Canyon's approach to revenue generation. This project covers several past producing small-scale high-grade gold and copper mines. Historical sampling has revealed significant potential for new discoveries of gold mineralization, which is unsurprising given the project's location within a well-known gold belt with a long history of substantial gold production.
Another notable property is the Swales Property, which consists of 40 unpatented mining claims within the Carlin Trend, one of the world's most historically proven mining districts. The property is near some of the largest gold mines in the U.S. and has significant exploration potential. The proximity to major producing mines suggests that Swales could host similar high-grade deposits, making it a prime target for further exploration and development.
The Belshazzar Project in Idaho's Quartzburg mining district also supports Nevada Canyon's strategic approach to monetizing its assets. This project, with historical high-grade gold production, remains underexplored, presenting opportunities for modern exploration techniques to unlock its potential. Advanced geophysical surveys and drilling programs could reveal new reserves.
Nevada Canyon's portfolio of value drivers also includes royalty interests in properties like the Palmetto and Olinghouse projects. The Palmetto Project has a current initial NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource and significant exploration potential. The property has already demonstrated substantial gold and silver mineralization, and ongoing exploration efforts are expected to expand the list of known resources. Also notable is the Olinghouse Project location, which is within a well-established mining region and offers developers an established infrastructure with support services available to expedite development.
Nevada Canyon Gold Makes Its Case
Combining those assets with the ones expected to join the portfolio, the impressive increase in Nevada Canyon's share price since June 15th looks justified from a sum of the company's parts perspective. And with continued economic uncertainty and investors' appetite for risk assets like stocks wavering, companies like Nevada Canyon Gold could benefit further in tandem with a gold market that's shrugging off reports of taming inflationary pressures.
For Nevada Canyon Gold, being different may be its best attribute. Specifically, its unique approach to royalty and streaming, combined with its focus on acquiring more assets in Nevada's prolific mining region, is a differentiation being viewed as an advantage. Based on intrinsic value alone, Nevada Canyon Gold presents a strong case for inclusion on the list of junior miners offering high-reward, lower-risk investment opportunities. Factoring in potential supports moving them higher up.
