Il commente notamment la confusion qui règne à la frontière canado-américaine concernant l'application des tarifs. Il est aussi question du discours de Donald Trump vendredi dernier où le président américain n'a pas hésité à blâmer les tribunaux et les médias. «Le roi jongle avec essentiellement deux balles: les tarifs et les institutions, c'est-à-dire la police, les tribunaux et les médias.

“This sector [junior mining] when you think about it is fascinatingly dumb in a sense and so fascinatingly predictable. Because like Pierre Lassonde says it is the easiest sector in the world. His simple reasoning is that it always crashes and then always rallies. We've had the crash. What is the next step? We know what the next step is. The question is if we are going to be there for it. The next big move in the junior space is obviously up. I know a lot of people are worrying about the crash. But the crash has already happened,” says private investor Erik Wetterling in this MSE episode. Erik, furthermore, shares his current views on the junior mining sector and how he is managing his portfolio. 0:00 Introduction 1:06 Deploying money into the sector 5:20 Strategy for picking the right company 10:34 Choosing where you are on the spectrum of risk 16:21 Valuing exploration companies 21:25 Big targets = Big jurisdictional risk? 29:06 Portfolio Allocation 35:29 Introspection and how it's applied to the market 46:45 Biggest lessons learned 57:18 Magna Mining 59:44 First Nordic Metals Erik's website: https://www.thehedgelesshorseman.com/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 The content found on MiningStockEducation.com is for informational purposes only and is not to be considered personal legal or investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell securities or any other product.

“Banks are slowing. Some financial accident is going to happen, and it could end up being a spiral. I think the charade of pretending that they're going to beat inflation is a charade. They know they can't,” says Frank Giustra, billionaire philanthropist and CEO of the Fiore Group. He says the Fed knows that interest-rate hikes have a lag effect and the massive debt issue will “bankrupt America,” as shown by today's slowing economy. While mining industry veteran Pierre Lassonde paints a negative picture for mining juniors, Frank disagrees and urges folks to avoid letting emotions guide their decisions no matter what happens in the market. “It's a matter of patience. Hang in there. You just have to know something there is good [coming].” Additionally, Frank points out that central banks around the world accumulating gold means "something is up.” “I don't think the West is listening. The gold enthusiasts are in the East. That's where we see all the physical gold is going," Frank concludes. ➡️ Watch Here

In a panel discussion with executive co-chairman and founder of Ivanhoe Mines Robert Friedland, President and CEO of the Fiore Group Frank Giustra, and mining industry veteran Pierre Lassonde, our Daniela Cambone discusses the significance of central banks accumulating gold, the imminent threat of central bank digital currencies ("CBDCs"), the state of the mining industry, and inflation. Frank acknowledges that the global monetary system could be completely reshaped moving forward and that gold “will play a role.” Pierre echoes that sentiment, adding that, “We have a very high probability of an alternative currency to the dollar." Plus, Frank warns that the rollout of a universal CBDC means “a loss of freedom.” Finally, Robert predicts inflation to stay at 4% in the next five years and eventually go even higher as oil prices keep rising. “The Fed's in the box because if they keep raising interest rates, they're going to dive the economy … The real interest's gonna increase and this favors gold.” ➡️ Watch Here

Interview with  Raymond Jannas, CEO & Director of ATEX Resources Inc. (TSX-V: ATX)ATEX's flagship property is the Valeriano copper-gold project located 125km east of Vallenar city, within the Link Belt, in north-central Chile. The Company is focused on delineating and growing the copper-gold porphyry resource underlying a surface oxide gold deposit. Drill results to date confirm the presence of a major copper-gold porphyry system that is open in all directions. Valeriano is adjacent to the El Encierro deposit, a joint venture between Antofagasta (51%) and Barrick Gold (49%). The project is within a 120-km long zone – internally referred as the Link Belt – connecting the Maricunga gold porphyry belt to the El Indio high-sulphidation gold-epithermal belt that hosts significant copper-gold deposits. Other companies active in this area include Filo Mining, Teck Resources, Newmont Mining as well as Lundin Mining.ATEX is supported by shareholders with a long-standing track record of successful resource investment. Pierre Lassonde, co-founder of Franco-Nevada is the company's single largest shareholder, followed by a resource-focused mutual fund. Elsewhere in northern Chile, ATEX has initiated a low cost generative exploration program exploring for high sulphidation precious metals deposits and has staked a number of properties for review.

10 mai 2023 | L'essentiel des nouvelles économiques, technologiques et financières [texte non corrigé pour fins de publication]La santé mentale des propriétaires de PME est inquiétanteSelon un sondage réalisé fin février par la Banque de développement du Canada, 45% des propriétaires de PME canadiennes disent qu'ils ressentent, au moins une fois par semaine, des problèmes de santé mentale ou des besoins de soins en santé mentale. L'inflation est la source de stress la plus souvent mentionnée par les entrepreneurs.Selon le Globe and Mail, un consortium canadien dirigé par l'homme d'affaires Pierre Lassonde aurait proposé de racheter la société minière canadienne Ressources Teck, de Vancouver. Cette nouvelle offre d'achat pourrait empêcher Glencore, une multinationale basée en Suisse, d'acquérir Ressources Teck. Teck avait rejeté le mois dernier l'offre d'achat non sollicitée de 23 milliards $ faite par Glencore.Les employés passent plus de temps à communiquer qu'à produireDans une récente étude, Microsoft a constaté que les utilisateurs de sa suite Office 365 passent en moyenne 57% de leur temps à utiliser des applications conçues pour communiquer – par exemple pour envoyer des courriels ou pour participer à des réunions, dans l'application Teams.

Today we collaborate with the National Mining Museum and Hall of Fame. The organization is inducting a new group of mining individuals, including Franco-Nevada's Pierre Lassonde. We were able to connect with Pierre to discuss his upbringing, education, and the entrepreneurial spirit which lead to the founding and success of Franco-Nevada. Not only has Mr. Lassonde obviously found success in business, he has also found success through philanthropic outreach. We chat a little about that as well. Finally, Mr. Lassonde gives a quick synopsis of today's mining, exploration and royalty models. What is working and what may not work. In our second segment, we stick with the royalty model and welcome in Fred Bell, CEO of Elemental Altus Royalties. A lot has changed since the merger. Mr. Bell expresses those changes and reminisces of the rollercoaster which was 2022 for the company. We'd like to thank our sponsors: Integra Resources is advancing the past-producing DeLamar Project in southwestern Idaho. The Company has continued to demonstrate resource growth and conversion through greenfield and brownfield exploration. Integra Resources trades on the TSX-V under ITR and the NYSE American under ITRG. Western Copper and Gold is focused on developing the world-class Casino project in Canada's Yukon Territory.

Tom welcomes mining legend Pierre Lassonde to the show. Pierre is the Co-Founder of Franco Nevada and Formerly President of Newmont Mining. Pierre discusses how the dollar and a low-interest-rate environment are good for gold. Real interest rates have to remain low or the debt can't be repaid. Effectively today, we have negative interest rates, and that is always good for gold. When a reserve currency is strong, you don't need gold, but when it is weak, gold becomes the anti-dollar. The U.S. is doing everything it can to devalue the currency, particularly against the Yen and Yuan. Pierre expects the Dow to Gold ratio to once again reach parity. He compares the 1976 to 1980 cycle where gold went from 90 to 800, and we saw rampant inflation. Today's situation is very similar, and that is why he expects gold to ramp up over the next three to five years. He explains his metric called the Lassonde Curve and how it defines the lifecycle of a mine on a time-value basis. The curve highlights the relative risk-reward over time and where the opportunities occur for investors with patience. The gold market has changed greatly over his career. Demand for gold as an investment is steadily increasing, while jewelry demand is relatively flat. Gold behaves as insurance, and often, price doesn't matter when people think they need it. Pierre details the enormous power of the royalty business model and why it creates a lot of optionality. There are advantages to having multiple metals in a deposit particularly of interest is copper-gold deposits. Copper is essential in the modern world, and demand for it will continue to increase due to electrification. Pierre agrees that we are being deluged by information, and much of it may be wrong. He recommends going back to the source and conduct your own research. Then compare your results with others that you value. If the numbers are similar, you can likely trust their opinion. He expects the next three to five years will be unbelievable but make sure that you have real value in your portfolio to outperform.

A philanthropist and talented businessman, Pierre Lassonde is recognized as one of Canada's foremost experts in the area of mining and precious metals. His cumulative giving to the University of Toronto exceeds $10 million, the largest contribution to mineral/mining engineering education in Canadian university history. The Lassonde Institute of Mining, the Lassonde Mineral Engineering Program, and the Lassonde Mining Building bear his name. In 2001, Pierre was granted an honorary degree by the University of Toronto. Lassonde has received many other awards, including the Order of Canada, Mining Man of the Year, and Developer of the Year. He was inducted into the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame in 2013.

Historically, the gold miners have led the bullion market in price direction, and right now, the equities are suggesting a rebound in price is underway, said Pierre Lassonde, chairman emeritus of Franco-Nevada. "Right now, there is a bit of a discrepancy and it started about last week where in fact the gold equities are up when the gold bullion is down, so I'm kind of wondering whether or not we're right at this particular point in the cycle where the equities are telling the bullion market that maybe there's a turn coming," Lassonde said.

Mining Billionaire Pierre Lassonde discusses the #SilverSqueeze , gold mining business and offers key advice for speculators. Pierre comments on the silver price in historical perspective and where it might be headed. He shares his number one advice for executives of gold producers as well as what type of mining investment he likes now outside the precious metals. Pierre talks about the current-day gold royalty sector and what is necessary for a start-up royalty company to succeed. He discusses a couple key traits mining speculators must have in order to succeed. Finally, Pierre discloses that he believes “that we are ripe for massive new discoveries…And I think we're due for one. And if and when it happens, it's going to juice up, the energy of people. And I would be looking very much for that kind of event over the next few years. I just know in my bone, it's going to happen.” 0:00 Introduction 1:45 #SilverSqueeze commentary 3:47 Where is the silver price headed? 5:33 Dow-Gold ratio 1:1 6:47 Type of new gold royalty company you’d invest in today? 8:28 Thoughts on prospect-generative approach to royalty generation? 9:29 Consolidation needed in the gold royalty space? 10:18 Do the best royalty opportunities reside in the base metal space? 12:04 Number one advice for executives of gold producers 13:22 Commentary on gold producer at-the-market mergers 15:03 What gold price do you use to analyze a development project? 15:50 “Copper is the metal of the future” 17:04 Becoming a successful mining speculator 20:14 Final advice Interview Transcript: https://www.miningstockeducation.com/2021/02/billionaire-pierre-lassonde-on-silversqueeze-gold-mining-business-advice-for-speculators/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 The content found on MiningStockEducation.com is for informational purposes only and is not to be considered personal legal or investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell securities or any other product.

This mini-podcast features a clash of visions between Franco-Nevada chairman Pierre Lassonde and new Barrick Gold president and CEO Mark Bristow on the value of keeping Barrick's Canadian identity and robust head office presence in Toronto. With Bristow becoming Barrick's operating head on Jan. 1 with the finalization of the merger between Barrick and Bristow's Randgold Resources, Lassonde had a few choice words to say about the matter in the media and at the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame induction ceremony in January. During Bristow's first conference call with Barrick shareholders on Feb. 13, he gave a fuller explanation of the company's corporate restructuring, and rebutted what he called "those short little hysterical cries about us closing down stuff." Mark Bristow will be one of five keynote speakers at The Northern Miner's third annual Canadian Mining Symposium at Canada House in London on May 22.

Legendary gold mine investor Pierre Lassonde appears for the first time. Pierre is known for his leadership as an innovative mining executive and founder of the largest natural resources royal company, Franco-Nevada. In 1985 Franco-Nevada acquired a royalty in a small mining operation in the heart of the Carlin gold belt of Nevada for US$2 million. From inception to February 2002 when the company was sold to Newmont Mining for US$3.2 billion, Franco-Nevada provided its shareholders a 36% annualized rate of return. For obvious reasons there are fewer mining company executives your host would rather ask about the current state of the gold mining industry and whether or not he thinks now is a good time to increase gold share holdings. Dr. Tony Barresi will precede Pierre to update us on Triumph Gold's potential world-class, gold-copper porphyry project and we will ask Michael Oliver if his analytical view of the gold markets is in sync with Pierre's view from a fundamental viewpoint.

We travel to the heart of London to bring you this week's episode featuring an in-depth interview by Northern Miner publisher Anthony Vaccaro with Franco-Nevada chairman and Canadian Mining Hall of Fame inductee Pierre Lassonde. This exclusive interview is recorded live at the Northern Miner's Canadian Mining Symposium held in late April in Canada House at Trafalgar Square. Pierre touches on a few stories from his youth; recounts how he and his partner Seymour Schulich bought the fateful royalty on Barrick Gold's Goldstrike property; assesses Franco's current royalty model; and gives his outlook for gold in the years ahead.

Quand Gérald Fillion reçoit l’homme d’affaires et mécène Pierre Lassonde, on est inspiré par le parcours de celui qu’on surnomme «lucky» Pierre.

We were inspired by the creative mojo we felt during our recent visit with Troy D’Ambrosio and Garrett Holm of the Lassonde Studios. Troy is the inspired Executive Director who worked with one of the University of Utah’s biggest benefactors, Pierre Lassonde, to create a special place where students, researchers, engineers and professors could come together to create new companies. Garrett is the young, determined undergrad that serves as Lassonde’s Company Launch Director. Pierre Lassonde graduated with an MBA from the University of Utah in the early 70’s and became one of the most successful entrepreneurial leaders in the history of mining. He wanted to create an ecosystem for creative thinkers, a place where calculated risks would be celebrated and students pushed themselves to go beyond the obligation of earning great grades and degrees. Troy D’Ambrosio and the students at the U answered the call! This interview with Troy and Garrett is inspiring on multiple levels. It’s obvious that Troy D’Ambrosio loves what he does and has built a place and a culture to do it well! As we listened to Troy, a successful entrepreneur, and Garrett, a spirited up and comer, it was obvious that everyone is respected and equal. There is no hierarchy at Lassonde, and everyone feels they can achieve anything if they want it bad enough!
