Michael Gentile: “90% of My Net Worth is in Junior Mining Stocks & I’m Still Deploying Cash”
About this episode
Michael Gentile discusses his investment strategy in junior mining stocks and shares insights on risk management and market behavior.
At The Mining Event of the North conference in Quebec City, MSE host Bill Powers interviews strategic resource investor Michael Gentile about his long-term, venture-capital style approach to junior mining. Michael says that 90% of his net worth is currently in junior mining stocks and he is still deploying cash into new positions. Gentile says his major win in Northern Superior Resources and a takeout of Arizona Sonoran validated and de-risked his process, and he plans to redeploy the gains while maintaining a 5 to 10-year horizon and diversified portfolio of about 35 companies, with deeper involvement in 15–20 issuers. He explains his risk control (starting with ~1% positions, adding to ~5% if aligned), the importance of management, cap-table quality, infrastructure, and disciplined technical due diligence via expert networks. Gentile discusses financings (holds vs “life” deals, avoiding life-with-warrant fast money), common retail mistakes (impatience and poor timing), commodity preferences (mostly gold/silver, some copper), and how his faith influences his work and charitable plans through the Apostles Fund. 00:00 Intro 00:40 Northern Superior Win 01:24 Venture Capital…
