Junior Mining Watch List

Don't know what to watch? Forget the TV guide, Canaccord Genuity has published its 2011 Junior Mining Watch List. To
give a brief background, the junior mining team provides an overview of the small-cap mining sector and their year-end list of
exploration/development/mining companies that they believe could provide above-average speculative potential in 2011. Last
year’s list lived up to expectations: the 2010 watch list returned a one-year gain of 147.1% as compared with 46.4% for the
S&P/TSX Venture Index, 13.6% for the S&P/TSX Composite Index, 25.5% for the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index and 43.3% for
the S&P/TSX Diversified Metals & Mining Index. For 2011, the team remains “generally optimistic”, again citing China’s

contingency government stimulus programs to support the global economy, and moderate North American economic expansion
underpinning the broad equity markets. They stress, however, that the years following significant one-year rallies have often
produced negative or flat returns. So what should investors be watching for in the upcoming year? Canaccord Genuity’s junior

they also like exposure to selective pre-drilling phase exploration names that have quality preliminary geological data
supporting upcoming drilling programs. Many of these speculative stories remain under-recognized, but offer above-average
speculative appeal in the current market. Also, they continue to stress that risk-tolerant investors should consider accumulating
