Find your way into Palisades Goldcorp
Investment thesis
Palisades is a purpose-built investment issuer aimed at capturing the junior mining bull market. It founds and holds majority stakes in core resource companies (New Found Gold, Nevada King, Made in America Gold, Radio Fuels) and takes minority positions in numerous juniors offering asymmetric upside. The firm actively negotiates favorable private-placement financing terms, often as lead order, seeking long-duration full warrants and discounted entry points, and mitigates junior-company risk through portfolio diversification. It is also building a royalty portfolio for commodity-price and discovery leverage. Palisades reviews over 100 deals per month and has invested between $50,000 and $10,000,000 per financing over the past year.
