How the books are built

Durrett screens, Hart management

  • U.S. listed, including the OTC. No price floor.
  • Fully diluted shares ≤ 1 billion. Majors with bloated structure are out.
  • Developers only at 0.50× NPV or less, in both books.
  • No names with a lot of debt and no plan to pay it.
  • Majors: streamers in. Dividend payers auto-included. Mid-tier only if cash flow is growing.
  • Juniors: near-term gold and silver developers — Hycroft, 1911 Gold, Silver Tiger, GoGold, Denarius.
  • Mandate is 100 names at 1% each. The live book equal-weights what clears the screen (1.59% Major, 1.79% Junior) and lets weights drift.
  • Rebalanced quarterly. Last print June 30, 2026.

Named names

In the books on purpose

Major carries Aya Gold & Silver and the streaming sleeve. Junior carries Hycroft, 1911 Gold, Silver Tiger, GoGold, and Denarius. If a name rips through 1%, the live weight is shown — it is not capped between rebalances.
