There aren’t any cheap gold stocks left on the ASX, some say.

But maybe they aren’t digging deep enough into the sub-$10m market cap ‘bargain box’ bracket.

It always pays to do proper research before you invest. Some microcap explorers couldn’t hit water if they fell out of a boat.

But lately, punters have been jumping onboard some absolute gems.

Explorers like Riversgold (ASX:RGL), which grew its market cap from $1.9m to +$20m on a cluster of good news, which includes well-known mining investor Tolga Kumova joining the register.

Or Golden State Mining (ASX:GSM), which is currently drilling right next door to De Grey’s (ASX:DEG) regionally defining Hemi discovery in the Pilbara.

Golden State, which had a $2.5m market cap in January, is now worth almost $20m.

Then ­­­­­­there’s the seminal Predictive Discovery (ASX:PDI) — a sub-$5m battler transformed into a stunning, $60m market cap butterfly.

We were friends with Predictive before they were cool.

The list goes on. Currently, there are 25 gold stocks on our list with a market cap under $10m.

That number is creeping lower as we speak.

One month ago, there were 31 gold stocks with a sub $10m market cap; two months ago, it was 36, and at the start of the year it was 45.

Where’s the next bargain stock multi-bagger coming from?

USD (yellow) and AUD (orange) gold prices over the past month.
