McEwen Junior Gold Index Workshop

Until only recently, there was no benchmark for measuring the performance of gold juniors against the seniors and against the gold price.  In this FREE special limited-seating workshop, you’ll learn about the creation of an index that may be the one true proxy of how the junior gold sector is doing. 

Join Rob McEwen as he explains the selection criteria and methodology that’s employed in the modeling behind the MJGI and how you can use it as a tool for making savvy gold investment decisions. 

Attend this workshop and you’ll:

• Hear how the index was conceived and evolved from an internal tool for keeping tabs on the sector into its present state
• Gain an in-depth understanding of the various large-cap gold indices, including the HUI (Gold Bugs Index) and XAU (Philadelphia Gold and Silver Index) and how the MJGI helps fill the void in benchmarking performance of junior gold companies
• Understand the criteria utilized in the selection process of companies that appear on the MJGI and who they are
• Learn how you can utilize background data to the index to build your own models to help you make informed investment decisions

Seating is limited and space will go fast!  Don’t miss this rare opportunity to meet and talk with one of the mining industry’s investment legends!
