Troilus Gold brings potential funding from ECAs to $1.3 billion
The company has signed an additional LOI with Export Development Canada worth $300 million.
Gwen Preston of Resource Maven discusses the recent downturn in the US markets and it’s effect on the mining sector.
She informs us that the recent Chinese market ‘crash’ is actually a correction in an over-inflated stock market, in reality the Chinese economy is doing fine. China is building an enormous number of nuclear reactors which is a strong signal to be looking into the uranium miners.
She describes opportunities for 20-30% returns in short term trading, taking advantage of the high US dollar, and for the long term looking at companies in their early stages. There are so many opportunities at the moment that it takes real focus to find the best.
After a five year bear market, surviving companies have to have good people and good management prospects in an upturn. She looks for companies that have the ability to ramp up production once the market finally turns.

Gwen knows mining and exploration. As a senior writer with The Northern Miner Gwen spent years visiting projects and interviewing geologists, management teams, and analysts to understand which projects and pieces of news mattered and why. In the midst of that she spent two years working with Marin Katusa of Casey Research, where she learned about capital markets and the newsletter business. Now she has a deep base of knowledge and a network of contacts across the sector, exactly what is needed for successful resource investing.
