Jordan, the Mining Stock Monkey, joins me as a first-time guest on the KER to outline a number of data points and methods that investors can focus on to do better due diligence on gold and silver mining stocks. It’s a wide-ranging discussion that gets into analyzing both the strengths and hidden red flags on the balance sheet, the alignment of management in their shareholdings, the percentage of revenues going to G&A, operating expenses, gross profits, and much more.

He shares how he compares peer companies with both the producers and developers, and looks forward to future depletion or potential development growth that is being underappreciated by the market at present. Jordan uses a recent deep-dive he did into B2Gold Corp (TSX: BTO) (NYSE: BTG), to point out examples of the kinds of potential threats and opportunities looking forward. We also discuss how many novice retail investors flock only to exploration stocks, for the high-risk high-return speculations, but contrast that with gold and silver producers that can still offer compelling multi-fold returns with more data available to parse, for those that can spot the opportunities before the rest of the market does.
