McEwen Capital Junior Gold Index

Former Goldcorp CEO Rob McEwen has created a junior gold index – no surprise, given his focus on the junior gold sector. If you read the interview we did with him back in the February 2006 issue of IS, you can see that he thinks much the same way we do. What’s really interesting is to see how this highly successful mining entrepreneur’s list of picks overlaps with our own portfolio. Nine of the nineteen companies currently listed on the McEwen Capital homepage are IS picks. For the record, here’s Rob’s list:
