It is Thanksgiving weekend in Canada, so we wish all the best to our loyal subscribers north of the 49th parallel. 

In the Weekly Market Digest, a tale of two economies as the US equity markets reached another record high despite higher-than-expected inflation numbers while Chinese stocks tumbled as the expectations for a significant fiscal stimulus have been moderated. Base metal prices were mixed, and equities were flat, while precious metal equities outperformed gold and silver prices. 

The Exploration Insights Portfolio outperformed the base and precious metal equity index last week, led by a pair of grassroots copper explorers.

In Stock Talk, I do a deep dive on a PFS on a gold project in Idaho and an encouraging drill hole from a copper target in New South Wales. I also cover exploration updates from a silver developer in northwest Argentina, a lithium explorer in Québec, a prospect generator in Serbia, a grassroots precious metal explorer in Nevada, and another in Victoria. Finally, a copper developer in Arizona is on the brink of closing an upsized private placement.
