Description
The investment objective is to achieve long-term capital growth through exposure to precious metals and stones. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective primarily by investing directly in gold, silver and platinum situated in Canada, by investing in deposit receipts and certificates evidencing such commodities, and by investing in the securities of Canadian issuers engaged in the exploration, mining and production of precious metals and stones.


found this, the symbol is tdb.648, I'm not sure this will help if you're South of the Border and I don't know much about this fund how well it performs other than what you see here. I don't own it.

I believe the Royal Bank has a precious metals fund that'll hold some juniors, at least it used to when John Embry was fund manager. I know a few years back they held AQP ( arequipa) pre $1.00 range that was late '95 early '96. AQP went to $34+ .

I'll check for other info .

Try this for info:
tdcanadatrust.com

There are probably much better funds around, but this one holds a few juniors such as YRI.to fgx.v archangel diamond,
ctq.to, pfg.to ,rio narcea, claude resources etc.
this is from the 2000 annual report, and I have to say personally I don't invest anymore in mutual funds. I think I can do better without them no fees for ever you know.
