LOGINThis Stock Could Surge +5,700% As Analysts Predict Significant Gold Profits By 2025
At Capital Rankings, we pride ourselves on finding winners.
Our last stock pick soared to a split-adjusted high of $16.50, securing massive returns for our investors.
Before that, another featured company, earlier in its development cycle, surpassed nearly all expectations, reaching an all-time high of $20.43 on a split-adjusted basis.
Today, we are excited to introduce what could be the pinnacle of our selections to date—and the best stock to buy right now in Canada—Hercules Resources (CSE: HERC). This company is in an earlier stage of development than any we have previously featured, presenting an unprecedented opportunity for potentially massive windfall returns.
Currently, Hercules Resources remains under the radar with explosive potential, trading for less than 50 cents a share. However, this price is not expected to last long given the company’s prospects and our proven track record of identifying undervalued stocks poised for significant growth.
Hercules Resources (CSE: HERC) reminds us vividly of a past gem that traded at mere pennies in its infancy—a company whose chart was initially unappealing with low trading volume (see chart below, demonstrating 5,700% returns from humble beginnings).
This is a classic example of the hidden gems our analysts excel at discovering.
The best investment opportunities often look unattractive at first glance and are priced cheaply, hiding potential massive returns beneath the surface. Hercules Resources (CSE: HERC) fits this mold perfectly. Without careful research, one might easily overlook such a prospect.
At Capital Rankings, our team delves deep into thousands of regulatory filings, press releases, investor presentations, and government records to unearth these rare opportunities.
A key reason for our confidence in Hercules Resources is its leadership, especially Mr. Brian Thurston. Though easily overlooked, Mr. Thurston has been instrumental in navigating two major mining buyouts with Kinross Gold and the Lundin Group, one of which culminated in a $1.2 billion acquisition.
True expertise doesn’t boast about potential successes; it focuses on achieving them. This principle is why we believe in the quietly diligent professionals like those at Hercules Resources, who work tirelessly towards the next big discovery.
Interestingly, Hercules Resources (CSE: HERC) is echoing the history of Thurston’s previous $1.2 billion buyout, focusing on gold exploration in Ecuador—the very same region where it is now securing interests.
Early Stages Offer the Greatest Potential
Our philosophy is straightforward: the best time to buy is when a company is still proving itself, priced attractively before the wider market recognizes its value. We don’t want to wait until Hercules Resources (CSE: HERC) is a proven success, trading at $30 per share. We want our readers to have the chance to buy at under 50 cents and potentially experience monumental returns from major discoveries and buyouts.
Remember, it’s the early bird that gets the worm. Don’t hesitate to do your research and act swiftly. To fully appreciate why Hercules Resources (CSE: HERC) is the #1 best stock to buy right now and how it is on the verge of a significant breakthrough, investors should explore these three essential research components:
- Company: A Green-light for Gold In Ecuador
- Industry: The Greatest Supercycle In History Begins
- Record: Mining Legend Bets Big on This Small Stock
As our research circulates and public awareness of Hercules Resources (CSE: HERC) grows, the window of opportunity narrows. Don’t miss out on the chance to invest early in what could be a defining addition to your portfolio. Seize the moment now, while the potential for significant returns is at its highest.
Two Types of Investors
There are two types of investors who read our research. One is Ms. Penny, and the other is Mr. Rich. Penny is overly cautious and hesitates, never buying a single share despite reading our articles well before the momentum starts.
Rich on the other hand, isn’t the earliest reader, but he takes a calculated risk to buy right away. As the stocks soared to record highs, he realizes his decision to act swiftly in the moment is responsible for his cut of these massive portfolio-defining returns.
Rich triples his money. Penny is still mulling months later.
Are you Penny? Or are you going to be Rich?

As of the date of this publication, Hercules holds no interest in any mineral concessions in Ecuador. Hercules has entered into letter agreements for the acquisition of a 51% interest in the Los Tres (P3) project and a 20% interest in the VMP project. There can be no certainty these acquisitions will be closed on the terms announced by Hercules or at all. Additionally, the interests to be acquired are not direct interests in the concessions forming the projects and are indirect interests in future agreements to transfer entered into between the concession holders and the parties with whom Hercules is contracting. Hercules has no direct contractual relationship with the concession holders. Additionally, the types of concessions to be acquired are artisanal or small scale concessions and do not currently allow for exploitation activities. Artisanal permits are further not capable of transfer until changed to a small scale permit. There can be no assurances that concessions can be successfully amended to allow for medium or large scale activity. There are material risks that direct ownership in the concessions will never be acquired by Hercules which would have material adverse impact on its financial condition, assets and operations.
