  • What went down at VRIC 2022? Junior mining is back!

    What went down at VRIC 2022? Junior mining is back!

    The Vancouver Resource Investment Conference has come and gone. Amazing two days. There were some big names there such as the 22nd Prime Minister of Canada Stephen Harper, the former President of Mexico Felipe Calderon, Nomi Prins, Robert Kiyosaki, Danielle DiMartino Booth, Harry Dent, David Rosenberg and many more. I did not attend these talks,…

  • Fear and uncertainty at the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference

    Fear and uncertainty at the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference

    Another Vancouver Resource Investment Conference has come and gone and my fitbit racked up somewhere around 30,000 steps over the two day event. I probably lost weight at the conference but I definitely gained insight. Sure. I’ll share. This year’s VRIC was punctuated by a fair amount of anxiety, and dare I say it? Fear,…

  • Small cap, big upside: drilling into Falcon Gold (FG.V) & Kermode Resources (KLM.V)

    Small cap, big upside: drilling into Falcon Gold (FG.V) & Kermode Resources (KLM.V)

    As May, 2022 rolls on, gold is looking like a pandemic-weary survivor. The variants that were predicted to kill it (spiking interest rates) – failed to do so; the vaccines that were predicted to give benefit (high inflation) – provided little relief. Gold is currently stumbling around in a face mask, humbled, immuno-compromised, lonely and…

    Three’s a Crowd: the inevitability of renewable energy

    A Necessary Change We need renewable energy. This is a concept I have firmly understood for most of my life after witnessing countless natural disasters spurred on by the effects of climate change. The sheer force of flash floods in Waverly, Tennessee claimed the lives of 22 people while the prolonged devastation of California’s drought has…

  • Gold, silver, copper: Brixton Metals (BBB.V) expands BC Thorn copper-gold-silver project

    Gold, silver, copper: Brixton Metals (BBB.V) expands BC Thorn copper-gold-silver project

    Brixton Metals (BBB.V) owns four exploration projects: Note: Hog Heaven is under option to Ivanhoe Electric. The three primary targeted metals (gold, silver, copper) are all attracting inflows of investor dollars. Macro economic data (money printing, global debt) supports bullish gold sentiment. Solar power is a massive demand driver for silver. The electrification of everything…

  • Will silver stocks shine in 2022?

    Will silver stocks shine in 2022?

    Silver stocks had a pretty good run over the last few months as the world tipped toward chaos, but it seems a pullback on the mineral’s price is in the offing as Ag slipped beneath the $24 USD per ounce mark. Is this slide a buying opportunity or a long-term trend? Luckily, silver is not…

  • SKRR Exploration (SKRR.V) advances multiple metal projects in Saskatchewan

    SKRR Exploration (SKRR.V) advances multiple metal projects in Saskatchewan

    Gold is acting like a moody teenager. It’s up. It’s down. It’s insufferably braggadocios. Suddenly – it hates itself. Over the last 12-months, bullion is up USD $125/ounce (+7%), over the last 30 days, it’s down $52/ounce (-2.7%) to $1,900. “Gold and silver prices are sharply down and hit two-month lows in midday U.S. trading…

  • Oil price to resume uptrend on EU embargo on Russian oil. $185 a barrel oil?

    Oil price to resume uptrend on EU embargo on Russian oil. $185 a barrel oil?

    Rising oil prices have been the talk on the street. Both Wall and Main street. Investors and traders are betting on higher prices due to geopolitics, while main street is worried higher fuel costs will eat into their monthly income as the inflation and rising interest rates hit the middle class. I am here to…

  • Azincourt Energy (AAZ.V) advances uranium project in Athabasca Basin

    Azincourt Energy (AAZ.V) advances uranium project in Athabasca Basin

    Uranium is required for nuclear power plants. Like aeroplanes, when something goes wrong with nuclear – it’s dramatic – it makes headlines and burns into everyone’s brain. But judged by the cold metric of human deaths per Kilowatt/hour – nuclear reactors are 40 X safer than gas and 330 X safer than coal . Nuclear…

  • Uranium price retreats after printing 2022 highs. Is the momentum over?

    Uranium price retreats after printing 2022 highs. Is the momentum over?

    Uranium prices are pulling back after posting new highs for 2022. Is the upwards momentum over? No. Commodities remain the place to be for the inflation trade, and uranium has many other fundamentals backing it that are not only supply chain related. Energy is going to be a big topic in Europe as nations such…
