Unprecedented Margins in Gold Mining Signal 10x Potential for Junior Stocks

In this episode of Kitco News' "Digging Deep," Michael Gentile, Co-founder of Bastion Asset Management, discusses the potential for permitting reform in North America to unlock significant value in the mining sector. He highlights how gold and silver prices are reaching new heights, yet junior miners remain undervalued, presenting a compelling investment opportunity. Gentile emphasizes that policy shifts under the Trump administration could be bullish for critical minerals, while permitting delays in Canada continue to hinder value realization.

Gentile also notes the increasing momentum in mergers and acquisitions within the mining industry, suggesting that capital is beginning to return to the sector. He believes that junior mining equities are poised for substantial growth over the next 6 to 12 months, making them a top conviction trade. Investors are encouraged to consider the long-term potential of these undervalued assets as the market dynamics evolve.

Key points:
- Juniors trading like gold is still $1,500 despite $3,300 spot price
- Institutions and M&A are quietly returning to mining
- U.S. policy reversal on drilling bans opens doors for critical minerals
- Canada risks falling behind without regulatory reform
- Gentile sees best upside in mid-cap producers and juniors
