Hello Classic,
I've been trading on the TSXV since 2004 and it's evolved so much over the last 13 years, quite amazing. Before 2008 you could make money just about anywhere, now things have changed I had to change my strategy 4 times. I wish the strategy I follow now I knew about a decade ago as I would of made more money and played it safer. Small cap companies can be just about as safe as large caps, but you have to put quite a bit of work into them. Large caps have so many analysts and brokers watching them that they have taken pretty much all the high percentage earning potential. So all your left with is scraps and tiny dividends that pay 5-6% if your luck which is a joke. Have a look at TTZ, IBT, CTZ, IRO, FBF, VGL, PHO, CZO, as these are venture stocks that have taken off 3-20 fold in the last 12-36 months. Not because of pumping or hype, but real and actual earnings that make them grow and allow share buybacks, dividends, asset acquisitions, etc. Your friend on the venture is SEDAR and if your looking for a good stock filter, I suggest Stockwatch.
Right now I have a few stocks im in, but TNA.V is the best by far in terms of value. Below is a DD on it taken from SEDAR. Have a look at let me know what you think.

Net income before taxes was $1,564,515 compared to $1,003,841 in the same quarter of 2016, a $560,674 increase. The increase was due to the higher income from operations and lower finance costs due to paying off outstanding indebtedness.
