In the October 1 issue of Barron's, gold bug John Hathaway of Tocqueville Gold Fund (TGLDX) speculated that gold prices could hit $1,000 an ounce in the near future.

With gold market experts calling for an additional 25% increase in gold prices, smaller gold exploration and production companies are increasingly attractive investments for individual investors, and represent potential acquisition targets by the major gold companies including Newmont Mining (NYSE:NEM), Gold Fields (NYSE:GFI), and Barrick Gold (NYSE:ABX).

Many of these amazing opportunities have been reported by SmallCapInvestor.com, an independent investment website providing individual investors with news, analysis and in-depth research on small cap stocks.

Some of the top performing small cap gold stocks of 2007 include:

-- Rubicon Minerals Corp. (AMEX:RBY): +184%

-- Gold Resource Corp. (GORO.ob): +159%

-- Richmont Mines (AMEX:RIC): +58%

-- Aurizon Mines (AMEX:AZK): + 36%

-- Pacific Rim Mining Corp. (AMEX:PMU): +29%

-- Eldorado Gold Corp. (AMEX:EGO): +25%

On Wednesday, November 7, SmallCapInvestor.com takes a special look at the gold sector and offers investors two attractive companies for consideration: Great Basin Gold (AMEX:GBN) and Aurizon Mines (AMEX:AZK).
