In this KE Report company introduction, we speak with Rana Vig, President and CEO of Blue Lagoon Resources (CSE:BLLG - OTCQB:BLAGF), a company on the verge of near-term gold production in British Columbia. With production expected to begin as early as July, the company is focused on generating cash flow through a toll milling agreement with Nicola Mining and using those proceeds to fund exploration across its land package. Key topics covered: Roadmap to production and the significance of the recently granted permit - one of only seven hard rock mining permits issued in B.C. in the past decade. Toll milling strategy to avoid heavy CapEx and environmental liability. Initial production forecast of 15,000 oz gold in year one, ramping up to 20,000 oz annually. The company's 218,000 oz M&I gold resource and why a PEA has been deferred until production cash flow validates the asset. Exploration potential from over 50,000m of recent drilling, new high-grade hits below the current resource, and several untested veins across a 22,000-hectare property. A look at the insider ownership and key strategic shareholders, including Crescat Capital and Nicola Mining. Visit the company website: https://bluelagoonresources.com/ Have questions?

Is gold still undervalued, even after hitting record highs? Tavi Costa says yes, and makes the case for $20,000+ gold. In this insightful interview, Crescat Capital's macro strategist Tavi Costa joins Trey Reik to explain why we're in the early stages of a “Great Rotation” out of overvalued U.S. equities and into hard assets like gold, silver, and commodities. Tavi also lays out why traditional 60/40 portfolios are set to underperform for years, how U.S. debt levels and deglobalization are pressuring the dollar, and why central banks (and possibly even the U.S. Treasury) are quietly turning back to gold. He also reveals: - Why the 2-year Treasury yield could collapse - Why the S&P 500's best years may be behind it - Why silver may be “the cheapest metal on Earth” - And how AI, onshoring, and infrastructure needs are creating a boom in commodity demand Chapters:01:09 - Crescat's Three‑Pronged Strategy 05:45 - Defining the “Great Market Rotation” 10:14 - What's Driving Crescat's 2025 Outperformance 13:38 - Why the 60/40 Portfolio Is in Trouble 16:49 - Commodities vs. Equities: The Historic Discount 20:36 - Three Forces Fueling Gold's Surge 24:36 - Why This Gold Cycle Could Be the Biggest Yet 30:03 - When Will It Be Time to Sell Gold? 36:32 - Valuing Gold: A $20K+ Playbook? 41:25 - Gold's Role in the Next Monetary System 44:48 - 2025 Outlook: Rates, Commodities, and Markets 47:35 - Is Silver the Cheapest Metal on Earth?

Tom welcomes back Tavi Costa, Portfolio Manager at Crescat Capital, to discuss the current state of gold, silver, mining stocks, and broader economic trends. Costa emphasizes that despite technical indicators suggesting overbought conditions in gold, the underlying macroeconomic factors point to continued strength in precious metals. He highlights the role of central banks, particularly in emerging markets like China, Russia, and Turkey, which have been significant buyers of gold. Costa argues that gold's revaluation is driven by global debt imbalances, de-globalization trends, and countries seeking to stabilize their monetary systems. He also explains how higher gold prices can increase the U.S. Treasury's cash reserves, enabling buybacks of Treasuries without quantitative easing, which he believes will be a critical tool for managing debt. Costa is bullish on mining stocks, noting they are historically undervalued relative to U.S. equities and have outperformed over the past decade. He suggests that as global infrastructure needs grow and supply chains shift, mining companies will play a crucial role in meeting demand for essential commodities. Additionally, he points out the attractive valuations of silver, given its high gold-to-silver ratio, which he believes could lead to significant price appreciation. The discussion also touches on the U.S. dollar's structural downtrend, driven by high debt levels and interest payment burdens, and how this impacts emerging markets positively. Costa predicts that lower yields on short-term Treasuries will benefit miners and other sectors. He concludes by advocating for increased exposure to energy stocks due to geopolitical tensions and rising oil prices.

In this episode, we speak with Tavi Costa, partner at Crescat Capital, about global macroeconomic shifts, rising gold prices, and the potential rotation from large-cap tech into commodities. Tavi explains why he sees significant opportunities in gold, silver, and emerging markets amid a weakening dollar and ongoing de-globalization. We dive into how policy decisions, geopolitical trends, and market valuations are shaping investment strategies, including what this means for metals like copper, silver, and lithium. CHAPTERS
In this episode, we chat with Tony Reda, Founder, President, and CEO of Tectonic Metals, a mineral exploration company, focused on the acquisition, exploration, discovery and development of mineral resources from district-scale projects in politically stable jurisdictions that have the potential to host world-class orebodies in North America. Tony has been in mining for 20+ years in investor relations and corporate development roles before taking the helm at Tectonic back in 2018 and shares his journey, give us an update on the company, their key partnerships and the broad milestones and strategy the company is looking to execute. KEY TAKEAWAYS Tony's career in mining began at the age of 21 when he invested in mining stocks, leading to a significant loss during the Bre-X scandal. He returned to the industry in 2005, focusing on corporate development and investor relations, which laid the groundwork for his role as CEO of Tectonic Metals. Tectonic Metals emphasises early-stage discovery opportunities and aims to partner with local communities and Indigenous groups from the outset. This approach includes forming impact benefit agreements to ensure community support and involvement in the exploration process. The Flat Gold Project, located in Alaska, has shown promising results, including a new gold discovery with significant grades. The project is situated in a mineral belt that hosts one of the largest undeveloped gold deposits in the world, indicating strong potential for further exploration and development. Tectonic Metals has established key partnerships with organisations like Doyon, the Alaska Native Regional Corporation, and Crescat Capital. These partnerships not only provide financial backing but also streamline the permitting process and enhance community relations, which are crucial for project success. BEST MOMENTS "We are partnered up with one of Alaska's largest leading native regional corporations... they’ve invested over $4 million supporting our efforts to explore on their land." "If you can hit gold in a kilometre-long target on your first attempt and hit grades as high as that, that tells you the system is huge." "We want something that's at least 5 million ounces or larger... this is not a one deposit system. Now there's potential for six of them." "The Trump administration is vocal about sort of, you know, homegrown resources and reducing their reliance on other countries for their natural resources."

Roger Rosmus, Founder, CEO, & Director of Goliath Resources (TSX.V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF), joins me to review the final batches of more high-grade gold assay results from the 2024 drill program, returned from both the reduced intrusion mineralization and multiple new stacked veins at the Surebet and Bonanza Zones at the Surebet Discovery in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. We also look ahead to the 2025 exploration strategy and program anticipated to kick back off in May. We start off reviewing the key takeaways from the Surebet Zone, Bonanza Shear and Golden Gate zone, as well as 4 additional new stacked gold veins, now totaling 12 veins stretching vertically over 1.2 km. Last year program was successful in demonstrating the untapped discovery potential and consistent high grades and mineable widths of the gold-mineralized stacked layers in the Surebet system that measures 1.8 km2 and remains wide open. Another key exploration initiative from the prior exploration program was relogging many drill core intercepts drilled from 2021-2023, where results confirmed multiple intercepts of an intrusion related feeder dyke system that remains open, strongly indicating close proximity to a large gold-rich intrusive source at depth (Reduced Intrusion Related Gold system, RIRG). This reduced intrusion mineralization will continue to be a focus of follow-up relogging and new drill targets for this year's program, with the plans to get more core sent back off to the assay labs in May, once the team gets mobilized at camp. We touched briefly upon the regional targets like Treasure Island and Jackpot that did have some indications of gold and silver, but didn't return assays that were of the same grades as what was seen at surface in the grab and channel samples, so there will be surveys flown and more targeting work done in 2025, to prepare new drill targets for 2026. The focus of the 2025 drill program will mainly be expanding mineralization at the Surbet Discovery along strike, further down in depth below the valley floor, and also doing some infill drilling at 100 meter spacings to connect together isolated holes into a more comprehensive and continuous mineralized model. Roger also highlighted the strategic investments last year and this year Crescat Capital, Larry Childress, a Singapore-based commodity fund, Rob McEwen. Importantly, in a more recent transaction a strategic C$10,000,000 investment by McEwen Mining Inc. (NYSE: MUX) (TSX: MUX) was made into Goliath Resources; where both companies now have shares and exposure in the respective companies.

“Oil looks even more attractive than gold right now” says portfolio manager Tavi Costa of Crescat Capital. Tavi Costa shares that even though he expects gold over $2900/oz and silver touching over $40/oz before year-end 2024, he is even more bullish oil and possibly other non-precious metals. A year from now, Tavi sees inflation running significantly higher while the Federal Reserve refuses to rate interest rates. When this happens, metals and commodity prices will run higher, he anticipates. Tavi also reveals Crescat's approach to portfolio allocation in the mining sector.

Roger Rosmus, Founder, CEO, & Director of Goliath Resources (TSX.V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF), joins me to review the 38,125 meter drill program that has now completed at the Surebet Discovery, Jackpot Target, And Treasure Island target at the Golddigger Property, located in the Golden Triangle, British Columbia. Roger outlines that in total, assays are pending on 105 holes that include: 62 holes (out of 64) drilled this year, 17 previous holes relogged with RIRG style mineralization in dykes testing reduced intrusion mineralization and 14 other separate holes relogged that were drilled between 2021 – 2023 at Surebet. Assays are pending for 12 holes drilled at Treasure Island this year as well. 59 drill holes from this year's exploration program contained visible gold representing 92% of the holes in 2024, of which 19 (or 32%) had abundant visible gold (more than 4 recorded occurrences). The new Bonanza High-Grade Gold Triangle, within the Surebet Discovery, delineates a zone of substantial gold and sulphide mineralization within a triangle measuring 720 x 612 x 410 meters with intervals over 9 meters and assaying over 31.1 g/t Au, demonstrating the high-grade gold potential of this excellent mineralized core zone that remains open. Assays for 17 holes (out of 19) from the new Bonanza Gold Triangle are pending. The new Deep Zone discovered at 1239 meters below surface contains multiple quartz-sulphide veins and breccias with visible gold, chalcopyrite, galena and sphalerite demonstrating the tremendous additional untapped discovery potential of the Surebet system that remains wide open in every direction including at depth. We then discussed the new style of Reduced Intrusion Related mineralization reinterpreted in this year's exploration program, where significant amounts of visible gold, bismuth mineralization, and molybdenite have been identified in veins hosted in intermediate porphyritic dykes in multiple drill holes. Relogging and sampling of the dykes in drill core from 2021-2023 included 17 holes for a total of >800 samples submitted to be assayed. There was also the new Blue Origin discovery comprised of similar reduced intrusion style mineralization with a series of veins up to 20 cm wide containing bismuth minerals, molybdenite and chalcopyrite, hosted in a felsic intrusion located 4.5 kilometers to the south of the Surebet discovery. This intrusion could be spatially related to Surebet as an uplifted part of the potential feeder source below the 1.8 km2 area that remains open. The Jackpot showing is located 1.4 km to the east of Surebet and similarly to the Bonanza Gold Triangle it lies at the intersection between the highly prolific Bonanza Shear and a southwest dipping sulphide mineralized shear zone where multiple samples assayed >5 g/t AuEq and remains open. A sample with a 7 mm nugget of visible gold was collected on the jackpot showing from the same vein where sample ST116183 assayed 21.5 oz/t AuEq or 667.40 gpt AuEq (636.00 gpt Au, 1690.00 gpt Ag, 7.96 % Cu, 2.22 % Pb). Assays are pending on all 6 drill holes from the Jackpot showing. Next we pivoted up to the Cambria Ice Fields, where extensive high-grade quartz-sulphide mineralization on the original Treasure Island discovery with channel samples that assayed up to 28.08 gpt AuEq and grab samples that assayed up to 11.08 gpt AuEq has been traced in drill holes for 450 m of strike that remains open in all directions with 2,938 meters in 12 holes were drilled from 4 pads. The mineralized intervals average 29.99 meters wide and on average include 6.79 meters of moderate, semi-massive and massive sulphide mineralization in quartz-sulphide breccia over 450 m strike extent that remains open, and assays are still pending. Wrapping up we have Roger outline for us through the capital management and financial health of the company, announcing on October 3rd the closing of the final tranche of its previously announced non-brokered flow through financing for an aggregate $16,120,500 raised from the first and final tranches. In addition, earlier on September 4th, the Company announced $7,366,750 by way of a non-brokered charity flow through private placement at a price of $1.975 per share (no warrant). This gives the company over $23Million in funds raised which allowed for the expansion of the drill program for 2024, and still provides plenty of runway to kick things off the beginning of the next drill season. Roger mentioned that there are also over $9Million of in-the-money warrants priced between $0.15-$0.92 that start to expire in April/May of next year and finish expiring by year-end 2025. The company saw strategic investors like Crescat Capital and Rob McEwen increase their stakes, while also bringing in new cornerstone investors like a Singapore based Global Commodity Group and Larry Childress.* If you have any questions for Roger about Goliath Resources, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com and then we'll get those answered or covered in a future interviews. *In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Goliath Resources at the time of this recording.

Tom welcomes back Tavi Costa, Portfolio Manager at Crescat Capital, for an enlightening conversation about the gold industry and commodity space. Costa expresses his views on the current market landscape, suggesting that the Federal Reserve's rate cuts could signal a structural bear market for the US dollar, with significant consequences for inflation, gold, and emerging market stocks. He also explores the potential labor market weakness and its possible link to an impending recession, emphasizing the significance of investing in industries with compelling growth prospects. Costa delves into the subject of gold and silver markets, debating the importance of focusing on percentage gains versus supply and demand factors. He points out the long-term underperformance of the mining industry relative to gold due to a dearth of new discoveries, delayed capital flows from larger miners to smaller ones, and the general reluctance to invest in this sector. Despite these hurdles, Tavi remains hopeful about the future of the mining industry, viewing it as a promising venture rather than a mere gamble. He stress the value of acquiring expertise, focusing on scalability, and keeping abreast of market developments. When it comes to assessing miners, explorers, and developers, Tavi advocates for zeroing in on successful ventures and overlooked assets for potential value creation. Costa voices his concerns about analysts' inconsistent forecasts, particularly with respect to gold prices and future earnings, regarding this disparity as a lucrative opportunity for savvy investors. He also delves into the role of royalty companies in the mining industry and their influence on various sectors. Tavi stress the significance of recognizing incentives and their impact on industry dynamics. Lastly, they explores the substantial decline in mining investment and the repercussions of government funding and Chinese competition in securing mining assets. Tavi expresses enthusiasm for the prospective rewards in the mining sector.

But rather than simply staying sticky, could it actually start surging again? Today's guest expert thinks it could due to growing global economic imbalances.

Tom Bodrovics welcomes back Tavi Costa of Crescat Capital to discuss the potential for a bull market in precious metals, particularly gold and silver. They believe that the current undervaluation of the metals and mining industry, coupled with various macroeconomic trends, presents an attractive investment opportunity. Tavi highlights the potential for increased M&A activity in the gold mining sector and the importance of finding major discoveries in the juniors. They also discuss the potential impact of ESG policies and green agendas on gold production. Tavi Costa suggests that silver is worth paying attention to, citing factors such as increased imports from India and declining production from Peru and Mexico. He sees silver as a monetary and inflationary hedge. They discuss the macroeconomic indicators pointing towards a potential recession, as well as potential opportunities in the commodity space. Tavi Costa offers insights into the Argentine and Brazilian economies and suggests potential solutions to currency and investment issues in Brazil.

Macroeconomic developments and market changes indicate a potential recession in the near future, and further inflation appears to remain an issue.

Tavi Costa of Crescat Capital tweeted the following important gold vs US debt chart stating, "Investors often use the 1940s period as a compelling historical analogy to today given the severity of the current US debt to GDP problem." However, there is one major distinction that is often ignored. During that time (around World War II), the US dollar was effectively tied to gold prices, making the metal an unfeasible investment alternative. Today, with prices unpegged, it is highly probable that capital will divert away from US Treasuries and flow into gold.

Tom welcomes back Tavi Costa of Crescat Capital to the show. Tavi discusses how debt is squeezing the margins of companies and earnings are becoming increasingly problematic. Many believe the issues have been resolved, but mis-marking of balance sheets is affecting numerous sectors, such as banking, commercial real estate, and junk bonds. Yields are rising due to excessive debt issuance over recent years and the most aggressive fiscal policy relative to unemployment. With conflicting policies, it's hard to see gold not doing well in this environment. Oil markets and energy remain tight due to a dearth of capital spending and the use of strategic reserves by governments. Everyone is now worrying about liquidity, and it appears likely the Fed will have to intervene at some point. Commodity businesses related to precious metals, particularly exploration and development, are trading at historically undervalued levels. This is setting up what might well be one of the best times to invest in the gold space, as the market is yet to understand the resource sector. Numerous companies with major discoveries are still trading at suppressed levels, offering a great opportunity.

He built Crescat's macro model that identifies the current stage of the U.S. economic cycle through a combination of 16 factors.

"There a lot of themes in the global macro world right now that are firming up for precious metals," says Otavio "Tavi" Costa, portfolio manager for Crescat Capital. "We've really had five very bad decades for the stock market throughout history and I think we're going to have another one here," he tells Daniela Cambone at the 2023 Swiss Mining Institute annual conference. "There will be a 'Great Rotation,' basically a domino effect of things like interest rates being higher," Costa continues. "We are very concerned about private equity markets, mega caps, and the corporate bond," he exclaims. "A yield-curve inversion is one of the best indicators that precedes a recession," Costa argues. "On the long side, metals and mining are where you want to be," he continues. "Given the level of imbalances we have in the global economy, not just the U.S., it's hard to believe we are not going to see more things unfold," Costa says. "There's going to be a lot of readjustments of prices of fundamentals from here," he concludes.
U.S. equities were relatively unchanged, but apparently they missed the message from the bond market. Across the board, U.S. Treasury yields are now over 4%, with a confluence of economic data in the States and Europe muddying the macro picture. Maggie Lake is joined by Tavi Costa, partner and portfolio manager at Crescat Capital, to hear why he believes this is the beginning of an exciting period for macro and value investors. Plus, we'll also hear from Andreas on what persistent services inflation means for the U.S. and the rest of the world. Watch that entire interview here: https://rvtv.io/3J3ny3I.

Historic protests over the weekend have pushed President Xi Jinping into perhaps the most uncomfortable position of his tenure, as China's continuing struggle with COVID-19 restrictions weighed on market sentiment ahead of Monday's open. All three major U.S. equity indexes were down more than 1% heading into the close, while investors sought safety in government bonds. Already skeptical of the recent rally, in his most recent research note Tavi Costa shared ample evidence a recession is imminent. Tavi, a portfolio manager at Crescat Capital, joins Maggie Lake for today's Daily Briefing to assess the global implications of growing domestic unrest over China's lockdowns, to explain why we should be paying attention to the U.S. Treasury yield curve, and to identify a potentially highly profitable macro trade for the next two years. We also hear from Victor Shih about the future of China's relationship with the rest of the world. Watch the full conversation between Victor Shih and Maggie Lake here: rvtv.io/3W0wYBt.

The signs the global economy is heading into recession continue to mount. If you haven't seen them, you're about to. Tavi Costa of Crescat Capital has put together a chart series that visualizes the economic slowdown clearly. And on the day we recorded this interview, Bloomberg Economics revealed its models now predict a 100% probability that a recession will hit within the next 12 months. So how bad will it get? What will the impact be on markets? And are there opportunities for investors to protect and possibly prudently grow their wealth as the recession unfolds? We'll get Tavi's answers to all of those questions. https://youtu.be/0AfoFnBpPkg
Tom welcomes back Tavi Costa of Crescat Capital to the show. Palisade Radio Links:► Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-1586024► Odysee: https://odysee.com/@PalisadesGoldRadio:c Tavi believes we are witnessing an unprecedented economic environment. One with massive withdrawal of liquidity from central banks and developed economies. Interest rates and bonds are collapsing across the entire curve. The dollar's move up has also been relentless. What is occurring is unsustainable. Tavi discusses how the world's economies have fallen into three different categories. Labor markets are likely the next sector to be impacted, and it will be more severe than the Fed expects. During the 1970s, after two years of high inflation, the labor market was hit hard. We may be seeing the beginning of this with jobless claims and layoffs. Savings rates are at historical lows, while mortgage costs are rising. Things are likely to remain in a fragile state indefinitely. Tavi believes a blow off in corporate debt will be necessary to see a policy change by the Fed. Credit spreads are still sub two percent. We have yet to see the risk of default be priced in the market. Many tech equities are near March 2020 lows, and there are likely to still be some big flushes in the market. There is quite a bit of opportunity in resources given what is happening now. There is a lot of going against the oil markets today, and the economy is now in contraction. Prices are reflecting tightness in the available supply. The energy sector has some good values and investors should consider holding a basket of commodities. Value investors should also be looking for sectors that have a lot of negative sentiment. We've seen a secular decline in geosciences enrollment across the globe. This will affect natural resource companies. Gold continues to hold up quite well when compared with most sectors. We're entering a different regime that favors tangible assets. Numerous correlations that used to be meaningful no longer work. Developing countries like Brazil are performing better than the West. Commodity led economies will be key in coming years as the balance of global power change. Tavi cautions that a total breakdown in markets is coming and that impact everything. Look for value and shift your portfolio as necessary. The buy the dip mentality which has worked in the past is probably a bad plan. Be careful with technical oversold indicators, as the fundamentals indicate a trend lower. Macro factors will likely be more important in the next phase of the global economy.

Mere hours after the Federal Reserve announced a third consecutive 75 basis point rate hike and reiterated its commitment to bringing inflation back to its 2% target, the Bank of Japan stuck to its ultra-low interest rate policy and intervened in foreign-exchange markets on behalf of the Japanese yen for the first time since 1998. Weston Nakamura joins Andreas Steno Larsen at the top of today's Daily Briefing to talk about the danger this policy divergence poses to the global financial system. Could we be on the verge of a currency war in reverse? Then, Andreas welcomes Tavi Costa, a partner and a portfolio manager at Crescat Capital, to talk about how to position for what Tavi recently described as “a vicious stagflationary environment.” We also hear from Nancy Davis and Kris Sidial about how to hedge downside risk amid rising volatility.

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I'm sharing with you the live Planet MicroCap Podcast panel I hosted at the Precious Metals Summit in Beaver Creek recorded last week. Joining me for this panel was Dr. Nicole Adshead-Bell, President at Cupel Advisory, Jamie Holman, Portfolio Manager at Merk Investments and Tavi Costa, Partner and Portfolio Manager at Crescat Capital. The original theme for the panel was "Pro Tips on Investing in Junior Miners", which we do answer, but the overall take home message from the live audience was our discussion about the Mining industry's PR problem. We unpack why mining has such a bad reputation with the average retail investor, why the negative sentiment in mining right now feels very different than past troughs, as well as what the mining industry needs to do to push back against the perception that mining is bad. My three guests are very experienced professional investors in mining, and wherever you land on the spectrum in terms of mining or precious metals in your portfolio, I think you will really appreciate their insights on this topic. Also, special thank you to the entire team at the Precious Metals Summit and the Levental Family for your hospitality and hosting one of the best MicroCap events on the calendar.

Stocks are sliding and bonds are rallying, as investors react to accumulating evidence that inflation will persist even though the economy is slowing down. There's a word for that kind of scenario: stagflation. “The Fed is facing one of the worst predicaments of its existence,” tweeted Tavi Costa. “The US economy simply cannot handle the Fed's continued monetary tightening." Costa, a partner and portfolio manager at Crescat Capital, joins Real Vision's Ash Bennington to talk about the confluence of three macro extremes. We also hear from Hari Krishnan about how there may not be a solution for the Federal Reserve's dilemma. Want to submit questions? Drop them right here on the Exchange: https://rvtv.io/3AklJeO.
