Near and Emerging Production Junior Gold Miners

There are well over 600 publicly traded junior gold miners. Most of them are explorers engaging in discovery of gold mineralization and are not planning for produciton in the near term. Only a handful are near production or emerging producers.

Below are 31 near and emerging producer junior gold mining companies I follow.

There are another half dozen or so that should be within 12 months of production over the next year. As soon as these stocks are within the 12 month window, I will add them to my formal watch list.
