Hadfield Certainly, one of the most daunting challenges an investor faces is putting on the thinking cap and calculating the value of a mining or junior exploration company share. There are countless ways of valuing and comparing companies, and tens, if not hundreds of variables to consider when making your final investment decision.

My wife Ana was born and raised in Ecuador, and remembers using buckets of water to take a shower, because the city where she lived as a child didn't have running water in all parts. When we were in Ecuador in October of 2007, we were disap... (read more) Author: Steve Gillman
