GDX: A Catalyst for Junior, Emerging Miners

And if nothing else, van Eck has done a bit of your DD and research in coming up with this list that you could use to choose which of these you'd want to add to your own portfolio. I would probably do a bit of sub-dividing and come up with a list of those who are actual producers and those that just own a desirable large deposit somewhere. And right now, the only addition to my own portfolio would be in the mid tier gold producer category. Northgate Minerals and Great Basin Gold were in fact added this past week and I'd be fibbing if I said this list from van Eck didn't partially influence my decisions. It's a good list that offers a great place to start looking for viable juniors that you may choose to invest in, either by buying into this ETF itself when it comes online or by looking these companies over and doing further DD BEFORE you actually invest and choose only those YOU like. Hey...if it's good enough for van Eck, it should be good enough for just about anyone.
