In this presentation at the International Metals Writers Conference in Vancouver on May 28, 2017, I discuss how arbitrage opportunities in the junior resource sector can offer investors a way to make money with comparatively lower risk.

I explain how arbitrage works, why mispricing arises in junior mining transactions, and why investors must still understand a company’s underlying value before committing capital. Arbitrage can provide excellent upside, but only when the risks, deal structure, liquidity, and timing are properly understood.
