Razor Resources (OTCBB: RZOR) October. This China-based exploration stage company is all about the acquisition and exploration of mineral claims and properties. Its stock price seems to shout “penny stock” in big letters, for its 52-week range has covered ground from the near-subterranean 0.2 cents to the not-much-higher three cents. Earnings reports are elusive, but during the holiday season here in the West, Razor gets its chance to shine from the east.
Grizzly Gold (OTCBB: GRZG) October. The Reno-based company has ranged in stock price from 5.4 cents to $1.10 over the last 52 weeks, but last came out with any tangible news in September, when its CEO announced Grizzly was going full-steam-ahead with a second round of drilling on Fox Spring project in north-central Nevada. Paul Strobel added that much hinged how this drilling program could potentially enhance its attractiveness as a joint venture partner. Its trailing 12-month EPS reports a loss of one cent.
