In the January issue of Junior Resource Monthly, I started the year by telling subscribers the following:
“I hope everyone had a great holiday season and has a spectacular 2025. With tax-loss selling season behind us, gold near record prices, copper holding the $4.00 per pound level convincingly, and silver looking like it’s ready to break out in a major way, 2025 is going to be a memorable one.
Throw in what I believe will be a rebound in the lithium sector and the next leg up in the uranium space, and we have ourselves the kind of setup that provides incredible opportunities to make money.
If the first week of the year reminded me of anything, however, it’s that it won’t be without increased volatility.”
Fast-forward to December 2025.
Gold is now over $4,300, touching record prices this year. Copper is at $5.35 per pound, also brushing record levels. Silver is sitting near $66, and after touching record highs, I’m hoping it doesn’t consolidate at $6–$7 — wait for it — for long.
There was a general consensus that gold, silver, and copper would have breakout years. But I felt like I was alone in the forest screaming about the value in the lithium space — and specifically in the equities.
My two top lithium picks for 2025 were Q2 Metals (TSX-V: QTWO)(OTC: QUEXF) and PMET Resources (TSX: PMET)(OTC: PMETF).
Q2 Metals had a 52-week low of C$0.39. Today, it trades at an all-time high of roughly C$1.90.
PMET Resources had a 52-week low of C$1.68. Today, it trades near the C$5 mark.
Both stocks are headed higher in 2026, and contrarian speculators who understood the cyclicality of the lithium space were able to make three to five times their money in what many dismissed as “dead money.”
The lithium rebound is just beginning, and 2026 is shaping up to be a scorcher of a year.
Which brings me to uranium.
Everything I heard about lithium in January of 2025, I’m now hearing about uranium: “Yes, the fundamentals are there, but when is the sector going to break out?”
It makes my contrarian heart smile — for the same reasons it smiled when the lithium bears ruled the forest — because I’ve been writing checks to quality uranium names with teams I’ve made money with before.
We just offered one of the higher-quality uranium names out there with a tiny market cap of roughly C$22 million. We took the bulk of the financing and are offering it to subscribers of Private Placement Intel.
Nearly C$2 million has already been raised. The offering will be oversubscribed. And the stock will likely soon be another triple-digit winner in that portfolio.
I expect the placement to remain open to Private Placement Intel members for the next three to five days.
Uranium is going to have a spectacular year. The equities — especially newer companies with established assets and proven teams — should deliver spectacular gains.
I hope to see you alongside us for those gains.
Let's get it,
