SmallCapPower | July 3, 2018: Gold prices have weakened over the past few months, falling as low as US$1,235/oz. The junior gold stocks we’ve uncovered today are all low EV/oz companies with high betas. This means that they have exaggerated correlations with the rest of the market and can be extremely volatile.
