But you still might not have missed the mega-rally. Gold Rush 2.0 could just be getting started, with junior miners, in particular, gearing up for an encore thanks to their unique ability to act as highly leveraged plays capable of multiplying the gains of gold by margins because of the relative significance of a gold discovery for a junior. Canada’s junior miners Amex Exploration (TSX-V:AMX) and Starr Peak Exploration (TSX.V:STE; OTC:STRPF) have been particularly outstanding, shooting the lights out during the first gold rush after racking up sizzling gains of 120% and 300%, respectively, over the past 52 weeks.
