Mining Stock ETFs & Miners

Source: Stewart Thomson 07/23/2025

Newsletter writer Stewart Thomson addresses the question: Should investors own mining stock ETFs and some exciting individual miners?

As governments around the world race to implement fresh stagflationary tariff taxes, more spending, and debt, central banks and sovereign wealth funds are moving away from fiat currencies and government bonds.

They are moving into gold.

Here’s a look at the daily chart:

A symmetrical triangle pattern breakout appears imminent, and the target of this pattern is about $3800.

Silver tends to lag gold when deflation is in play and lead it when the big theme is inflation. In recent months, silver has taken the lead baton from gold, and I’ve suggested it could continue to lead until the year 2026 or even 2027.

Here’s a look at the chart:

Silver is making a beeline to the $44 zone, and even some mainstream money managers are taking notice.

In this environment, gold and silver stocks have begun to surge, but they are still so undervalued that senior miners could rise hundreds of percent before they hit “fair value.”

Junior miners could rise thousands of percent, and in some cases tens of thousands of percent. The current state of undervaluation of miners versus metal is truly surreal.

Here’s a look at the weekly GDXJ ETF chart:

There are numerous bull flags on the chart, and a fresh upside breakout is occurring from one of those flags now.

Silver stocks? They look even better!

Here’s a look at the SILJ chart:

Note the gargantuan volume that has accompanied the inverse H&S pattern breakout. It’s almost surreal!

I’ve talked about a “seasonal inversion,” where instead of swooning from July to October, the miners stage a mighty surge higher.

Well, that surge appears to be getting underway now, and the biggest price action of all appears to be occurring in junior miners that are in the CDNX

Here’s a look at the weekly CDNX chart:

A short-term pullback would be a “gift” for investors, but it may not occur.

Charts that are as bullish as this one tend to feature only very short pullbacks that don’t last long.

There are several individual miners that look very good this week. One of them is Big Ridge Gold Corp. (BRAU:TSXV; ALVLF:OTCQB).

They are reinvigorating a past producing property in Newfoundland.

What’s interesting is that gold was stuck in a rough $300-$500 range during the previous operation.

So, a lot of additional gold could be there . . . gold that wasn’t worth mining at the time.

Here’s the Big Ridge chart:

I have a $2 target price for this stock, and if it’s hit, the CDNX may only be in the 1000 area at that point, which is the neckline zone of its massive H&S base pattern.

The bottom junior mining stocks line: What looks like a high price or “overbought” situation needs to be taken in the context of a very large 40-year inflation cycle that is only in year 5 of the cycle. Arguably, the junior miners offer the greatest value in the modern history of markets, and the word that best sums it all up could be: Enjoy!
