Summary
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 Playbook 04:30 Hands on Value Add 05:51 When Management Fails 08:19 Cap Table 09:46 Life Financing Debate 12:38 Process Refinements 14:36 Site Visits 16:35 Network Driven Due Diligence 19:54 Protect downside or seek upside? 22:26 Retail Mistakes Patience 25:18 Thinking Like a Major 27:24 Commodity Mix and Cycles 29:57 Can He Ever Quit? 31:45 More Precious than Gold: Faith and Giving Back Sign up for Michael’s weekly email: www.SaturdayMorningMining.com Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Mining Stock Education…
