SELL: ECR.V (Cartier Resources)
I bought Cartier Resources in the summer of 2021. I was fairly green in the sector and bought on the assumption that the sale of their PEA-stage Chimo mine asset in the Abitibi was eminent. At the time, Chimo boasted about 1.6 million ounces inferred (I believe). My cost basis: 0.30c. I sold today for

SELL VGCX.TO (Victoria Gold)
I sold my VGCX positions today for a meager gain. Picking a different horse for a gold miner, likely B2 Gold, but that’ll be in a separate post. Reasons for selling VGCX: Rick’s summary: In short, I surmise that VGCX is cheap for a reason: it’s a difficult mine to operate (weather, finding staff, smoke
SELL: Solstice Gold (SGC.V)
This is one of two stocks that I’d been bagholding (the other being ECR.V). I’ve had an open sell order at .06c for a while that finally filled. I bought at .15c and later sold for a 60% loss. Nevertheless, I’m glad to have it out of my portfolio. Reasons for Buying Reasons for Selling
BUY: Gold Exposure (Victoria Gold, VGCX.TO)
Not a gold bug, but I think having exposure to gold makes sense in this environment for monetary and political reasons. As a sign of personal growth (I hope), I didn’t position myself in a non-producing junior that won’t have leverage to an upside in gold prices. Though I have Lundin Mining (LUN.TO) and Agnico
