I'm a relative newbie mining investor. I got into some AIM listed stocks mentioned on here earlier this year. If anyone wants to hear my opinions based on hindsight & learning from experience - here they are! I actually think this could be a great time to buy. Thats my view based on hindsight (as I bought probably a little too soon - March)
Anyway, earlier this year I decided to put 10% of my cash into about 4-6 juniors. The first mistake I made was not looking at the charts for an entry point. Even if you are a newbie, this should be quite an easy thing to do. Do some basic reading about support and resitance, and you should figure it out. Basically, don't be in a hurry to buy. Try to buy cheap if you can. You can always wait a bit.
Onto specific stocks...
I think at current prices,
THR &
GAL are great value, and likely to see gains quite soon.
THR - Feasibility due in Nov.
GAL - Production within a month (?). Cash flow soon thereafter.
Also,
HIF is falling on light volume. May fall a bit further, but it's very good value here, if Gold remains firm.
I like
TYM too, but thats an uber long termer. There will be plenty of oppurtunities to get in cheaply over the next couple of years IMO. Production is not expected for a good few years. But keep your eye on their schedule - i.e. resource updates, RNS etc..

CDN. This is currently suspended after a reverse takeover. It is basically going from being a junior gold explorer to a Coke Coal producer. There are some clever chaps on ADVFN who are debating what the fair value SP might be in the future - most of them agree it will be much higher than the 6p that it is suspended on. Having said that, there is still a lot of factors in play. The SP may open much higher, in which case I would say wait. However if the SP opens in the 6-8p area I would recommend taking a look.
One that I haven't bought yet, but am planning to is CEY. Would appreciate any opinions on this one

Maybe I'll start a thread!
Anyway, these are all my opinions. Take a look at the relevant threads on each of the shares I've mentioned for more details on the companies - what they do etc..... They are all in this section of the forum.
Hope this helps anyone who reads here, but doesn't have a clue on how to get started.
Remember DYOR & Good luck!
