The two gold miners I like best right now are RIC – Richmont Mines and CLGRF / CJR.TO Claude Resources. CLGRF has put in a bottoming formation that looks similar to RIC.
Keep this in mind: The chart has put in a series of higher lows and is not attempting to put in a V-bottom like most other miners. The key difference here is that a series of higher lows means that the recent sell-off low has already been successfully tested. With a V-bottom type of pattern the risk is twofold:
- The lows might need to be retested
- Overhead resistance is typically a bigger problem as there is less overall pattern pressure to propel prices higher

The weekly chart analysis suggests a very conservative price target around 0.37 is most likely. A more optimistic target in the 0.50 – 0.60 price area doesn’t seem unrealistic though.
Claude Resources’ company profile is somewhat similar to RIC:
- It is operating in Canada, a safe jurisdiction
- Very low debt
- CJR.TO is a profitable gold producer
- The stock bottomed out much earlier than its peers
- A new CEO recently took over
Price trumps narratives.
