We’re one week into the July 2019 Stock Challenge and things are off to a great start! The contest is currently being led by member ‘turtle_named_Mack‘, who picked IMPACT Silver Corp. and Golden Predator Mining Corp. to achieve an average total return of 25.89% for the month thus far. Close behind turtle_named_Mack is second-place member ‘iram53‘ with an average total return of 21.74%, followed by third-place member ‘mjluke4‘ with 20.29%.
While turtle_named_Mack’s second pick Golden Predator Mining is up 44.64%, IMPACT Silver is only up 7.14%—meaning that our friend Mack is heavily reliant on Golden Predator Mining to keep him in first place.
On July 5, 2019, Golden Predator Mining announced a C$6.08 million private placement.
