**RIPP.CN, NBY.V, FRG.CN**
What’s up everyone, wanted to throw a few small caps on your radar that I’ve been following pretty closely this month. Each one is totally different in sector and setup, but all three have something interesting going on. These are speculative, obviously, but that’s kind of the point, I like hunting stories that are just getting started and haven’t hit the mainstream flow yet.
**1. Digital Commodities Capital ($RIPP.CN)**
This one’s flying almost completely under the radar, which is exactly why it caught my attention. RIPP is essentially a holding company targeting blockchain and digital asset investments, think early stage venture style, not a layer 1 chain or protocol token. They’ve got no product per se, but they’re positioning themselves as a consolidator of sorts in digital assets. It’s a model we’ve seen before, sometimes it flops, but sometimes it hits real scale if the market comes back and they make a few smart early moves.
Recently, the stock has been showing life. It’s up over 80% in the past week alone and just crossed the $0.07 mark. That might not sound like much, but with a tiny float and sub-$10M market cap, that kind of volume tells you something is happening. If they announce any acquisitions, even small ones, or start positioning themselves as a proxy play for blockchain in Canada, this could become a fast moving retail trade. For now, it's mostly a momentum setup, but I’ll be watching to see if there’s any real substance behind the move. Definitely not one to bet the house on, but sometimes these microcaps get hot before the news even hits.
**2. Niobay Metals ($NBY.V)**
This one just got a lot more interesting. Niobay literally just kicked off its 2025 drill program at the Crevier project in Quebec. For those not familiar, Crevier is a niobium and tantalum project, two metals that don’t get as much retail attention as lithium or uranium, but are absolutely critical for aerospace, electronics, and EVs. What makes this setup compelling is that Crevier is one of the few North American niobium-tantalum assets with real size and potential.
Niobay is starting with a 1,000 metre drill campaign across 6-8 holes, mostly infill and step outs to tighten up the geological model and potentially extend the mineralization. They’ve already got historic data on this thing, and the drill program is aimed at de-risking it even further. It’s still early days, no flashy assays yet, but this kind of project fits perfectly into the current macro narrative around securing domestic supply chains for critical minerals. They also received provincial support in the form of a \~$400K grant, which helps signal government interest. I think if even a few drill holes come back strong, this could re-rate quickly. Right now it’s still sitting sub $0.10, which is wild considering the jurisdiction and how strategic this asset could be.
**3. Forge Resources ($FRG.CN)**
Forge is probably the most developed name on this list, and also the one with the most meat on the bones operationally. They’re working two angles: a fully permitted coal project in Colombia called La Estrella, and an early stage porphyry copper-gold target up in the Yukon. The Colombia side is interesting because they’ve been quietly consolidating ownership ,they now own 80% of La Estrella after a recent deal, and seem to be setting up for bulk sampling or even near term production. Say what you want about coal, but there’s still global demand, especially for high grade product, and it generates cash. This is a make money project.
Then there’s the Yukon angle. They’ve just started drilling last week and seem confident enough in the porphyry potential to push forward aggressively this summer. It’s early stage exploration, so you’ve got the usual discovery risk, but if they hit anything remotely economic, it adds a whole other layer of upside. Combine that with their relatively tight structure, some recent institutional participation, and decent market volume, and this becomes one of those “quietly building” stories that could start gaining more attention by Q3.
Each of these companies is at a different stage, RIPP is more of a speculation on narrative, NBY is a thematic play on critical minerals with drilling just getting started, and FRG is a hybrid story with real assets and a bit of cash flow optionality. I like keeping a few of these on watch at all times. If the market starts rewarding juniors again, these types of setups usually move first.
If you’re tracking anything else this month, especially in mining or small cap energy, drop them in the comments. I’m always looking for new under the radar plays. As always, not financial advice, just sharing what’s on my screen.
