“Gold is money, everything else is credit” The golden opportunity Warren Buffet couldn’t pass up on
Emgold Mining Corp. USA (EGMCF) Canada (EMR.VN) Riding the Gold Boom with Multiple Assets in Quebec and Nevada
With market valuations spread, investors inching towards “anti-bubble” opportunities.
Gold stands at the top of that list.
Opportunity won’t come knocking in the form of your usual large gold market giant presenting colossal potential. Stealing the spotlight are smaller junior mining companies that could land your average investor a deal worth its weight in gold- a lot of gold.
How do you recognize the next catalyst?
The clearest way is pinpointing what companies are seeing substantial exploration success.
One such company is Emgold Mining Corp. USA (EGMCF) Canada (EMR.VN)
For starters, with plenty of near-term catalysts for gold, there’s a good pack of potential.
• One, Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has just started to jump into gold miners, like Barrick Gold. “In the past, Buffett, the billionaire chairman of Berkshire, cautioned against investing in the metal because it’s not productive like a farm or a company. Now, gold miners are benefiting from surging bullion prices that are boosting profit margins as costs of production have steadied, making them increasingly attractive investments,” says Bloomberg.(1)
• Two, Goldman Sachs says “we’ll see higher gold prices on low real interest rates and currency debasement concerns.”(2)
• Three, Elliott Management’s Paul Singer still says gold is “one of the most undervalued” assets available and that its fair value is “multiples of its current price.”(3)
• Four, “As economic output contracts sharply, fiscal outlays surge, and central bank balance sheets double, fiat currencies could come under pressure investors will aim for gold,” argue analysts at Bank of America.
That’s outstanding news for gold miners, like Emgold Mining Corp. USA (EGMCF) Canada (EMR.VN)
Emgold Mining Corporation, a mining company which owns a portfolio of mining assets in mining-friendly jurisdictions of Nevada and Quebec.
Emgold’s business structure models that of the real estate industry, through acquisitions and divestitures. Instead of focusing on one core asset, Emgold looks to acquire multiple undervalued and overlooked assets. They add value through exploration, and quickly monetize assets through divestiture- the analogy is you can’t win by hitting one nice shot, you need multiple opportunities, and Emgold is set up nicely to score big, with multiple assets and the goal of taking them to production.
That’s outstanding news for gold miners, like Emgold Mining Corp. USA (EGMCF) Canada (EMR.VN)
One being Nevada, which in the past has shown stable permitting, exploration, and mining jurisdictions, with an abundance of gold. In 2018 Nevada produced approximately 5.8 million ounces of gold or about 83% of U.S. production.
The second, Quebec, which in 2018, produced approximately 34% of Canada’s gold, equaling around two million ounces. Both mining districts have quality geology, and exciting potential for acquisitions, enhancement, discovery, and divestiture of products.
Emgold has plenty of room for growth.
Just over the last several months:
• Emgold Mining optioned, acquired, and sold Troilus North Property, Quebec to Troilus Gold Corporation (TLG.T $0.97 as of June 29th, 2020) for C$250,000 in cash and an additional 3.75 million shares of Troilus.
• In 2019/20, it optioned, acquired and signed Earn-in with Option to Joint Venture Agreement with Kennecott Exploration, a subsidiary of Rio Tinto Plc (NYSE: RIO) on the New York Canyon Property, NV. Kennecott can earn up to a 75% interest in the Property by spending US$22.5 million. Rio Tinto, one of the largest mining companies in the world with a market capitalization of over 93 billion dollars (USD) is not generally interested in acquiring mining assets with small production potential. This could suggest that they believe New York Canyon to be a multi-billion-dollar opportunity.
• Earlier this year, the company sold Rozan & Stewart Properties to Ximen Mining (XIM.V $0.60 as of June 29th, 2020) for C$100,000 cash, 1.275 million shares, and 1.275 million share purchase warrants exercisable at C$0.45 for three years & C$0.55 for two additional years.
The Best Part – There’s Limited Risk at This Level with uncapped potential
If Emgold were to sell their shares in the above companies, a simple calculation would show the cash profits would equal their current market cap.
With that being said, the market is heavily undervaluing Emgold, and giving no value to the list of remaining mining assets within the company’s notable portfolio.
One property that outlines the valuation mismatch is the Golden Arrow asset. This property already has measured and indicated resources estimated to 296,500 ounces of gold and 4.0 million ounces of silver; do the math and you will quickly realize this amazing market opportunity.
This is gold for free!
Recent Acquisitions are Fueling Emgold Mining Corporation’s Gold Rush
The gold rush is here for Emgold as recent acquisitions bring resource excitement.
Earlier this year Emgold signed a $22.5 million joint venture deal with Kenecott Exploration on its New York Canyon project in Nevada.
Kennecott, by the way, is a subsidiary of Rio Tinto, one of the world’s biggest mining companies (NYSE:RIO). The deal will allow Kennecott to earn approximately 75% interest in the Property by completing US$22.5 million in exploration expenditures.
Kennecott staked 265 unpatented mineral claims, expanding the Property to 21 patented and 417 unpatented mineral claims, totaling approximately 8,700 acres.
Plus, over the last year, Emgold Mining Corporation successfully expanded its portfolio of assets in the Nevada and Quebec hot zones. As of 2019, Emgold Mining Corporation had the:
- Option to acquire 100% interest in the New York Canyon Property, NV.
- Options to acquire 100% interest in the Mindora Property, NV.

Rawhide Mine has produced 1.7 million ounces of gold and 14.5 million ounces of silver between 1988 and 2014. The property is leased to RMC who have the option of acquiring it by bringing it into commercial production.
• Mindora, NV (options to acquire 100% interest) — Emgold has options to acquire two sets of mineral claims which will re-consolidate the property. Total historic drilling completed at Mindora in the 1980’s and 1990’s was 13,100 meters (42,836 feet) in 171 holes. Historic drilling identified near surface high grade gold and silver mineralization, low grade bulk disseminated gold and silver mineralization, and molybdenum porphyry mineralization at depth.
• Casa South, QC (100% owned) — Emgold’s Casa South property is located immediately to the south and abutting Hecla Mining Corporation’s operating Casa Berardi Mine. Since 1988, Casa Berardi Mine has produced over 2 million ounces of gold.

Top Reasons why Emgold Mining Corporation is about to hit the mother lode; so, could you!
One, with gold on the rise, it might be on the way to $3,000, perhaps even $5,000 in the next 18 months, as central banks flood economies with liquidity.
Two, we’re seeing millions of dollars flood in through deals for a company with a small market cap of only $4.09 million.
Three, the company has assets situated in two of the world’s hottest mining districts – Nevada and Quebec.
Four, its projects operate next to existing mines with Hecla Mining and Osisko Mining.
Five, with big money coming in from the likes of Berkshire Hathaway and flowing into gold miners’ hands, there’s big potential for Emgold to strike more deals, as the company explores, moves to monetize assets through divestiture.
Six, at current gold prices, Emgold Mining Corporation USA (EGMCF) Canada (EMR.VN) could deliver a substantial investment opportunity, especially with the Gold Rush well under way.
