Gold retains its status as the metal attracting the biggest exploration budgets, but for the best stock market performance these days it’s hard to beat lithium, which is why Breaker Resources (ASX: BRB), a stock with a foot in both camps, could be worth a look on the basis that history can repeat (reports Tim Treadgold on Small Caps). Not an inspiring performer over the past month with its share price down 21% from $0.42 to $0.33, Breaker has an asset base with the same hallmarks as earlier gold explorers which blossomed after their lithium interests won greater recognition.
