For a micro gold explorer hopefully come producer, this is my no.2 pick. It doesn't have the same defensive qualities as BAR, but it's extremely cheap and there are comparisons.
1/ Expertise in the top 5 share registry. The market really overlooked imho the significance of the Silver Lake JV deal. Located in the highly prospective Murchison region sharing neighbours like Metals X and Ramelius, close to existing infrastructure. By having Silver Lake as now their largest holder through a deal on one of Silver Lakes non-core assets - there are huge benefits for both companies. Also in the top 5 are heavyweights Barrick and Independence group.

2/ Admin cash burn has been reduced and is now at a very reasonable level
3/High exploratory budget with great discovery upside
4/ Very low shares on issue, large options expired, small free float.Cash strapped MTH dumping (and It's a real shame I missed out on that one) ruined momentum plus a secretary issue stealing funds didn't help. Though I see only upside from here with these speed-humps behind them. Volatility is gone and there are buyers lurking about for the limited stock on offer.
5/ Cash buffer and no debt
I will go into more detail as time permits, however with this high exploratory budget, and the commercial terms of the JV requiring a certain spend for an initial 60% interest in the project, they will need to raise money at some point within the next 12-18 months.
With such low shares on issue and such a good registry, raising money will never be an issue when the time comes, and with huge discovery upside it could be well-placed to raise at decent price, further dampening the dilution of such low issue in the first place.
