Ivan Bebek, Chair and CEO of Coppernico Metals, discusses the latest high-grade copper hard-rock surface samples from the Nioc target on the company's flagship Sombrero project in Peru: "Is this the tip of the iceberg that you're seeing; kind of poke through that cover potentially? But what's most impressive is the grade. So the project's getting more exciting. These results are incredibly rare on the global copper scene to see this kind of grade coinciding with geophysics that really indicate the potential for something that could be what we would call globally significant or world class as an opportunity."

The conversation covers a wide range of topics relevant to both new and experienced investors in the mining sector. Bill and Brian respond to a listener’s question about the value of learning from investment successes versus failures, sharing personal stories and lessons learned from both. The discussion explores the challenges of knowing when to take profits, the risks of selling too early, and strategies for managing winners and losers in a portfolio.

The conversation also touches on recent developments in Ecuador and how government actions can impact mining companies and investor decisions.

Pro Investor David Erfle believes “gold stocks still need to catch up to the gold price.” He provides commentary on recent precious metals and miner price actions, discusses how he has managed his portfolio over the past month and shares where he currently sees value. David Erfle is a self-taught mining sector investor. He stumbled upon the mining space in 2003 as he was looking to invest into a growing sector of the market. After researching the gains made from the 2001 bottom in the tiny gold and silver complex, he became fascinated with this niche market. So much so that in 2005 he decided to sell his home and invest the entire proceeds from the sale into junior mining companies. When his account had tripled by September, 2007, he decided to quit his job as the Telecommunications Equipment Buyer at UCLA and make investing in this sector his full-time job. David founded the Junior Miner Junky subscription-based newsletter in April, 2017 and writes a weekly column for precious metals news service Kitco.com, whose website attracts nearly a million visits every day. 0:00 Intro 0:42 Gold and Silver Market Analysis 3:20 Newmont and Generalist Investors 7:11 Company Financial Health and M&A Activity 9:09 Investment Strategies and Tax Considerations 13:18 Commodity Ratios and Market Trends 15:04 Private Placements and Market Listings 22:29 Junior Miners and Market Sentiment 28:55 Conclusion and Final Thoughts David’s website: https://juniorminerjunky.com/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Mining Stock Education (MSE) offers informational content based on available data but it does not constitute investment, tax, or legal advice.

“The entire theme undercurrent in this [recent] conference was national defense. We, the United States, are going to re-industrialize because we want to be self-sufficient in critical industries, be they national defense like drones or A.I. or critical materials like battery production, and I would argue that that narrative of national defense has now permeated the junior mining and the mining world as well,” Chris Berry, president of House Mountain Partners, shares in this MSE episode. The discussion with Chris revolves around the U.S. Department of Defense's investment in MP Materials and its implications for the rare earth and lithium markets. Chris highlights the significant shift towards national defense as a driver in the mining sector, the intricacies of rare earth pricing, and the potential of Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE). The episode also touches on the evolving narrative from net zero to national defense and the critical role of public-private partnerships in reestablishing the U.S. as a dominant player in critical metals. Investors will find valuable insight into strategic opportunities and potential profit areas within the USA critical metals stocks. 0:00 Intro 0:36 DOD Investment in MP Materials 5:32 Rare Earth Pricing and Market Dynamics 7:55 Global Rare Earth Supply Chain Challenges 12:28 Opportunities and Risks in Rare Earth Investments 15:22 Lithium Market Insights and Future Outlook 25:46 Oil Super Majors Entering the Lithium Market 27:11 The Role of Major Companies in Lithium Extraction 27:36 Challenges and Promises of Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) 30:43 Comparing Hard Rock and DLE Lithium Mining 32:39 Volatility and Pricing in the Lithium Market 37:25 Opportunities and Challenges in Lithium Refining 45:31 The Impact of AI on the Investment World 47:57 Chris's Background and Services 52:01 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Chris Berry’s website: https://www.discoveryinvesting.com/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Mining Stock Education (MSE) offers informational content based on available data but it does not constitute investment, tax, or legal advice.

"Each Seabridge Gold Share Represents $9,000 In-Situ Metal, Yet Trades for $16” says CEO Rudi Fronk in this MSE episode. Seabridge Gold presents an extraordinary tripartite value argument to investors claiming to offer: 1) more value per share than any other publicly traded metal producer; 2) the most gold per share of any public company; and 3) more copper per share than any other copper focused exploration and mining company. In this MSE episode, host Bill Powers interviews Rudi Fronk about his mining career, key lessons learned and the investment thesis behind Seabridge. Rudi recounts his early education in mining and finance at Columbia University, the lessons he learned from the multifold challenges faced by Greenstone Resources while he was at the helm, and how these experiences shaped his approach at Seabridge. He emphasizes Seabridge's guiding principles such as avoiding political risk, never building mines themselves, and focusing on gold ounce per share growth. The conversation also delves into two significant near-term milestones for Seabridge, including resolving a nuisance claim and announcing the joint venture partner for the KSM project. Rudi shares insights on the gold market, the company’s strategic approach, and his commitment to Seabridge's long-term success. 0:00 Intro 0:54 Career path 4:04 What Rudi did wrong at Greenstone Resources 6:07 Seabridge Gold: Rudi’s second chance 7:37 “I’m a control freak” 8:20 Seabridge: the most gold per share 10:22 Why the share price discount? 11:30 Two main catalysts 12:49 Courageous Lake spinout 15:27 Gold miner value destruction 17:40 Shareholders: listen to or ignore? 21:00 Investment thesis never changed 21:51 Stars aligning 26:05 JV partner announcement 27:58 Liquidation value? 29:01 $12,000/oz gold? 31:51 Rudi’s retirement https://www.seabridgegold.com/ TSX:SEA NYSE:SA Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 This interview was not sponsored.
