List of Emerging Junior Gold Producers -- 2009

ERRATA: In response to a reader's comment, I have corrected the European Minerals to Orsu Metals due to acquisition. I own a ton of warrants at much higher prices and had hoped to forget that company. I have also added Richmont Mines, even though they have been producing for several years. They are rapidly expanding production and have a strong growth strategic plan. Thanks for helping me clean up this list. (Feb. 16, 2009)

ERRATA: I have added Oceanagold and Capital Gold to the list (Feb. 26, 2009).

-----------------------------------
Most junior gold miners are explorers engaging in the discovery of gold mineralization and are not planning to produce gold in the near term. Only a handful of junior gold miners are near production or emerging producers.

These emerging junior gold producers are the companies I follow and cover on the Gold Stock Strategist.

My initial list of emerging junior gold producers was published on March 22, 2008 and included 31 companies. The last update on June 30, 2008 had a list of 43 companies. Since then Kinross bought out Aurelian Resources and Aurelian has been removed from the list. In addition, European Minerals merged to create a new company, Orsu Metals.

I have also received several comments requesting additional companies be added. After reviewing all the requests, the following companies will be added to my watch list:

1) Vista Gold

2) Troy Resources

3) Centamin Egypt

4) Ramelius Resources

5) Castle Gold

6) Richmont Mining

7) Oceanagold Corp.

The one removal and eight additions brings the list of emerging jr. gold producers to 50. Below is my 2009 comprehensive list of emerging junior gold producers.
