I veckans program ska vi glänta på dörren till några konstnärsgarderober och titta närmare på hur deras kläder inspirerat inte minst modeskapare. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Det är inte bara själva konsten som satt fart på fantasin hos designers. Som Piet Mondrian hos Yves Saint Laurent, Salvador Dali hos Elsa Schiaparelli eller Andy Warhol hos Gianni Versace, bland många, många andra. Inspirerat har också deras kläder och personliga stil gjort.I programmet träffar vi galleristen och vernissageveteranen Björn Wetterling. Han har arbetat med några av de största namnen i konstvärlden och har en hel del att säga om hur det står till med kläder och stil bland konstnärer. Och så pratar vi med den brittiska modejournalisten Charlie Porter som skrivit boken What Artists Wear. I den undersöker han vad vi kan lära oss om konstnärernas liv och verk om vi rotar runt i deras garderober.

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to discuss three junior gold exploration companies that have put out recent newsflow to the market; where he is attracted to their current value proposition.   Altamira Gold Corp. (TSXV: ALTA) (OTC Pink: EQTRF) announced May 5th the results of an independently assessed, maiden mineral resource estimate for the Maria Bonita porphyry gold deposit within the Cajueiro Project. Maria Bonita is a separate discovery, located 7km to the west of, and additional to, the Cajueiro Central Mineral Resource (previously reported under NI 43-101). The maiden open-pit resource consists of total Indicated Resources of 24.19Mt @ 0.46g/t gold (for a total of 357,800oz) and Total Inferred Resources of 25.64Mt @ 0.44g/t gold (for a total of 362,400oz). These resources include near-surface saprolite Indicated Resources of 2,02Mt @ 0.59g/t gold (for a total of 38,000oz) and Inferred Resources of 0.68t @ 0.40g/t gold (for a total of 8,700oz).   Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF) announced May 5th that the world renowned JDS Energy & Mining Inc. has been engaged to assess the viability, permitting and development of an underground exploration adit at Surebet, at its 100% controlled Golddigger property, Golden Triangle, British Columbia. The Company has tasked JDS with an exploration adit to access a broad expanse of the gently-dipping, high-grade gold lode called the Bonanza Zone that sits approximately 200 meters above the valley floor. This adit will enable underground drilling of extensive parts of the overall Surebet lode system thus lowering drill meters required for advanced resource work, and potentially enable a longer drill season at the project.   K2 Gold Corporation (TSXV: KTO) (OTCQB: KTGDF) announced May 5th that the United States Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has released the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for K2's Mojave Exploration Drilling Project in Inyo County, CA. The BLM has also published a Notice of Availability in the Federal Register, opening the final 45-day comment period on the project. This is a key milestone for the company as they approach the end of the permitting process to commence drilling, and comes on the back of years of diligent environmental studies, community engagement, and collaboration with regulatory agencies.   * In full disclosure, the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.  Additionally, Shad is also a shareholder of Goliath Resources at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to discuss opportunities he is seeing emerge in advanced gold developers as they enter the second wave higher of the Lassonde Curve.   We discuss the potential rerating opportunities present in company valuations, considering the higher underlying gold prices, improving economics of development-stage projects, and the potential for higher profit margins and quicker payback periods if these deposits can be fast-tracked into producing mines.   Erik mentions a number of nuances that he looks for or avoids as not all development-stage companies are on equal footing.   We discuss deposit size, grade, jurisdiction, what stage of economic study a project is at, strategic investments from larger producers, and the ability of management teams to either build or sell projects at a certain point in the commodities cycle.     During the course of the conversation we discuss examples of companies with compelling development-stage projects like the recent buyout of Barrick's position by John Paulson to team up with Nova Gold (NYSE American, TSX: NG) at Donlin Creek, Integra Resources (TSXV: ITR) (NYSE American: ITRG), Cabral Gold (TSXV: CBR) (OTCQX: CBGZF), Amex Exploration (TSXV: AMX) (OTCQX: AMXEF), Skeena Resources (TSX:SKE)(NYSE:SKE), and Troilus Gold (TSX: TLG) (OTCQX: CHXMF).   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to discuss gold's standout role as a safe haven, amidst the extreme market volatility; and how all of this is translating into muted reactions in gold stocks to their improving economics and the rerating opportunities present at current valuations.   –> Key themes covered in this interview:   The gold price rose to record highs again today over $3,440, on the back of global uncertainty and a continued selloff in US general equity markets. Every market was down today expect for gold, and to a lessor extent, silver.   We note the odd market action where a number of prominent precious metals producers sold off for a big portion of the day, with their margins continuing to expand, only clawing their way higher towards the end of the trading session.   Many development projects with gold as primary or contributing input and expanding economics, were also selling off during much of Monday's trading session, with some recovering in the final hour of trading.   The importance of market psychology and investor sentiment trends into price moves; noting that some investors may not believe this move higher in metals prices is going to stick or have become too fearful to take actions. Other investors may be concerned by the selling in other markets, and thus they have been pulling profits on one of the few sectors in the green this year.   A nuanced look at why we aren't seeing a much bigger increase in merger and acquisition deals across the spectrum of gold companies. We do note the takeover deal announced today though, where Lumina Gold Corp. (TSXV: LUM) (OTCQB: LMGDF) is being acquired by CMOC Singapore Pte. Ltd.   Reflections on how profitable even the Tier 2 and Tier 3 gold mines are at present, and the amount of M&A that has focused around Tier 2 and Teir 3 gold projects the last few years. Despite the retail obsession with discussing Tier 1 deposits, at the exclusion of everything else, there really are very few assets of this size and scale. There are plenty of opportunities available to investors further down the spectrum of projects that may still have large valuation disconnects.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to discuss the opportunities he is seeing for portfolio rebalancing or “value shuffling,” due to the extreme market volatility and pricing dislocations in many resource equities.  This volatility is caused from across-the-board sympathetic selling in most market sectors on back of reactions to the Trump tariff policies.   --> Key themes covered in this interview:   Precious Metals prices are still at very high levels, and yet many gold and silver equities have had disproportionate selloffs in sympathy with US general equity markets.   Comparisons to this recent rapid correction in the gold stocks, versus other strong corrections; like what we saw during the pandemic crash or bear-market market lows of late 2015 into early 2016. Erik notes the much different backdrop in the fundamental value of the producers and developers based on current gold price in contrast to those other market crashes.     What are the actual effects of tariffs on US domestic resource companies, versus companies operating internationally; as it relates to cost inputs like oil, labor, chemicals, steel, and capex to build new mines.   Why volatility is the bread and better of value investors.  Erik mentions that volatility creates the opportunities for value shuffling in one's portfolio and is the “poor man's dry powder.”   What are the type of precious metals stocks that Erik is most interested in rotating into, considering the current backdrop of blanket selling across the whole sector.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to discuss the attractive value proposition he sees in 3 different gold – copper – critical minerals junior resource stocks. These companies have all released important exploration news over the last week, which sets up future news releases to build upon their current work programs.   Inflection Resources Ltd. (CSE: AUCU / OTCQB: AUCUF) announced on March 25th that AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited (NYSE: AU / JSE: ANG) has completed Phase I of the Exploration Earn-in Agreement announced on June 14, 2023 by investing AUD$10,000,000 in the Company's portfolio of copper-gold projects in New South Wales, Australia.  AngloGold Ashanti has designated a total of four copper-gold, Duck Creek, Trangie, Crooked Creek and Nynganto, proceed to Phase II of the Earn-In Agreement.   Magna Mining Inc. (TSXV: NICU) (OTCQB: MGMNF) announced on March 31st a batch of assay results from the producing McCreedy West Mine and the adjacent Levack Mine. Drilling at McCreedy West was focused on the 700 Footwall Cu-PGE zone resource expansion and definition in support of mid-term production planning, and targeted areas near historical mining. Drilling at Levack was targeting the near surface Keel Footwall Cu zone.   District Metals Corp. (TSXV: DMX) (Nasdaq First North: DMXSE SDB) (OTCQB: DMXCF) announced on March 26th drill assay results for five drill holes (GRAGR-151 to -155) completed during the Fall 2024 drill program at the base metal polymetallic Stollberg Property located in the Bergslagen Mining District in south-central Sweden.   * In full disclosure, the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.  Additionally, Shad holds a position in Magna Mining at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman  

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to dig into the implications and potential benefits to the US as a mining jurisdiction on the back of the new executive order from Trump issued on March 20th; titled “Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production.”    This executive order https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/immediate-measures-to-increase-american-mineral-production/ will utilize the Defense Production Act (DPA) to focus on sourcing more domestically mined, processed, or refined critical minerals and strategic mineral as a matter of national security.  There appears to be a joint effort between the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation and the Department of Defense to provide investment support, loans, and possibly grant for mining projects.  There is also an expedited priority on reviewing the permitting on projects seeking development from usual suspect metals like nickel and rare earths but also including gold, uranium, and aluminum.   Erik reviews a number of companies that have his attention in the US that may benefit including juniors like Integra Resources(TSXV: ITR) (NYSE American: ITRG), Stillwater Critical Minerals(TSX.V:PGE)(OTCQB:PGEZF), BCM Resources Corp (TSXV: B), and K2 Gold (TSX-V: KTO) (OTCQB: KTGDF).  We also note the potential impact on long-stalled mega projects like Northern Dynasty's Pebble, Trilogy's Rambler road access to the Upper Kobuk mineral project, or Rio Tinto's Resolution Mine in Arizona.   We also discuss whether US projects will now get a premium, due to removing permitting bottlenecks or possibly providing government money to assist in the development of mineral projects.    *In full disclosure, many of the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and they also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to recap his key takeaways from the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) conference in Toronto earlier this month.   He shares how he approaches getting the most out of conferences, and what kinds of questions he can ask management teams when he is in his one on one meetings. Additionally, Erik shares with us his observations on how hot trending stocks with recent newsflow got repeatedly discussed in conversations, have the more crowded booths, and saw shareprice action around the conference. Conversely, he points out how other companies with legacy projects and less regular newsflow remain not so hot, where sometimes their prior quality work has been forgotten about, and they had less of a buzz. This ties into a broader discussion on investor sentiment and herd behavior within the resource sector, the power of the network effect, and the separation of quality companies from more speculative ones as this bull market continues to pick up speed.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

“If you just appreciate what this sector does once momentum gets started. Look at any historic junior chart, once momentum starts it just feeds on itself. What is weird is that it has not really happened; not even gold to three thousand [dollars] has been able to do that. I also think it points to how irrational this sector is. And it is all about momentum,” 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 0:55 Junior mining value opportunities 5:53 When will gold stocks respond? 14:18 Fort Knox gold audit 18:42 Speculation in non-gold metals 21:54 Separating signal from noise 27:06 PDAC expectations 31:44 Networking necessity 34:21 Stock picks 39:17 Why retail loses money 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 Mining Stock Education (MSE) offers informational content based on available data but it does not constitute investment, tax, or legal advice.

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to discuss the attractive value proposition that he sees in 2 different junior gold and silver explorers that have some recent news out; which sets up future news releases to build upon their current work programs.   First up, we discuss West Point Gold Corp. (TSXV: WPG) (OTCQB: WPGCF), and how it came out of the business combination of 2 prior junior exploration companies.  The company has multiple projects in Nevada like the Tip Top, Jefferson Canyon, and Jefferson North projects, but the focus of the recent exploration work is at their Gold Chain Project in Arizona, nearby the producing Moss Mine.  The company recently released infill sampling on drill holes GC24-30, GC24-31 and GC24-32 demonstrating that mineralization at the Tyro Main Zone is wider and more continuous than previously thought.   Silver47 Exploration Corp. (TSXV: AGA) owns three silver and critical metals (polymetallic) exploration projects in Canada ‎and the US: the Flagship Red Mountain silver-gold-zinc-copper-lead VMS-SEDEX project in ‎southcentral Alaska; the Adams Plateau silver-zinc-copper-gold-lead SEDEX-VMS project in ‎southern British Columbia, and the Michelle silver-lead-zinc-gallium-antimony MVT-SEDEX ‎Project in Yukon Territory.‎  Erik highlights the potential for both optionality to rising metals prices and their ability to do some meaningful exploration with the capital already raised for this year's program.   * In full disclosure, the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.    Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to discuss the attractive value proposition he sees in various small gold producers and developers, and why they are more undervalued than even the silver stocks.  He outlines that with the undervalued small gold producers, that eventually the very good profit margins will force the market's hand to look at their financial strength, but then also consider the other upside in their development projects; noting Integra Resources Corp. (TSXV: ITR) (NYSE American: ITRG) as a prime example of this market disconnect.    We then review the nuances around how he is seeing the current valuations and potential reratings around the beta optionality companies that are sitting with large single-asset development projects.  Erik points out that he prefers those developers that still have some potential for alpha catalysts from expansion work programs and newsflow for value creation in addition to the optionality of their defined ounces in the ground.   * In full disclosure, the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.  Additionally, Shad holds a position in Integra Resources at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to discuss the attractive value proposition he sees in 3 different gold – copper junior explorers. These companies have all released important news as catalysts over their last 2 weeks, which sets up future news releases to build upon their current work programs.   Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF) report today exceptional gold intercepts of 12.03 g/t AuEq (11.84 g/t Au and 15.61 g/t Ag) over 10.00 meters, including 19.91 g/t AuEq (19.62 g/t Au and 25.61 g/t Ag) over 6.00 meters plus a second separate interval assaying 8.59 g/t AuEq (8.35 g/t Au and 20.74 g/t Ag) over 5.00 meters, including 14.26 g/t AuEq (13.87 g/t Au and 34.10 g/t Ag) over 3.00 both from a high-grade gold intrusive feeder dyke that remains open at Surebet on its 100% controlled Golddigger Property in the Golden Triangle, B.C.   Hannan Metals Ltd (TSXV:HAN)(OTC PINK:HANNF) report a significant gold mineralization at its 100%-owned Previsto project in Peru. Channel sampling has revealed high-grade alkalic-type epithermal gold mineralization with 69.1 m at 2.4 g/t gold ("Au") including 26.0 m at 5.4 g/t Au. The finding, which remains open in all directions, is situated within a larger 6 km x 6 km epithermal-porphyry cluster, further indicating the potential for a major new mineral district.   Inflection Resources Ltd. (CSE: AUCU / OTCQB: AUCUF) is pleased to provide an update on drilling completed in late 2024 on the Trangie and Duck Creek projects in New South Wales, Australia conducted under a joint-venture Exploration Agreement with AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited.   * In full disclosure, the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.  Additionally, Shad holds a position in Goliath Resources at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to discuss two new junior gold and silver producers with additional solid development projects and exploration upside in their portfolio of projects.  Both of these companies have released important operation updates as news catalysts in early 2025, and he is attracted to their current value proposition.   We start off discussing the news out on January 22nd from Integra Resources Corp. (TSXV: ITR) (NYSE American: ITRG) which announced their record fourth quarter and full year 2024 production results from the Florida Canyon Mine, located in Nevada. There was record gold production of 72,229 ounces from Florida Canyon in 2024, marking the highest total production from the mine in 21 years. This represents a significant milestone for Integra as it marks the inaugural reported production for the Company. Integra ended the year with approximately $52 million in cash, to invest further into the exploration, development, and further derisking of their DeLamar and Nevada North Projects.   Next we pivot over to news released on January 9, 2025 from Sierra Madre Gold and Silver Ltd. (TSXV: SM) (OTCQX: SMDRF), which announced they had achieved full commercial production on January 1st, 20205 at their 100% owned Guitarra Mine Complex located in Estado de Mexico, Mexico. The processing plant, underground mine, and all aspects of the operation have now been running at the current capacity of 500 wet metric tonnes per day for the past 90 days. Monthly gold and silver concentrate shipments, concentrate inventories, freshly mined material stockpiles and revenues generated from sales; have all increased on a material basis.  This sets the Company up for organic growth and exploration funded through production revenues as this year unfolds.   * In full disclosure, the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.  Additionally, Shad holds a position in both Integra Resources and Sierra Madre Gold and Silver at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Patty Wetterling joins Chad to share her message of immense despair after the loss of Jacob, hope, and the kindness and love she's shared with some many.

Chad opens the hour speaking with the incredible Patty Wetterling before some talk about the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas and a fun discussion about underrated TV shows.

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to discuss three junior gold resource companies that have released important news catalysts in early 2025, where he is attracted to their current value proposition.   We start off discussing the high-grade gold intercept over a wide width that Goliath Resources Ltd (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF) released to the market this morning.  In drill hole# GD-24-260 it intercepted the highest concentration of visible gold and the best high-grade gold drill hole to date at the Surebet Discovery down in the Bonanza Zone, returning 34.52 g/t AuEq (34.47 Au and 3.96 Ag) over 39.00 meters, including 132.93 g/t AuEq (132.78 Au and 12.98 Ag) over 10.00 meters, and 166.04 g/t AuEq (165.84 Au and 16.07 Ag) over 8.00 meters.   Next we pivot over to news released on January 9, 2025 from Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (OTCQX: AMXEF) that recent drilling has continued to expand the footprint of multiple zones at its flagship Perron Project, located in northwestern Abitibi, Quebec. New exploration results were released from the Denise Zone, E2 Zone, Grey Cat Zone, Gratien Zone, and JT Zone. These high-grade intercepts, have all shown metal factors significantly above this PEA threshold, and the management team released statements indicating that these intercepts will contribute additional ounces to the mine plan.   Wrapping up we got Erik's thoughts on why he is animated by the longer-term value proposition at Osisko Development Corp. (NYSE: ODV, TSXV: ODV) where on Jan. 09, 2025 they announced the appointment of David Rouleau as Vice President, Project Development. This appointment aligns with the Company's strategic focus on building an operations-driven team to advance its flagship 100%-owned Cariboo Gold Project located in central British Columbia, Canada.  Erik expands on the potential to go from their Phase 1 to Phase 2 development plans over the next few years, increasing throughput and ounces produced once a construction decision is made, and that he sees the project to be of significant size in a tier 1 jurisdiction to rerate higher over time.   * In full disclosure, the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.  Additionally, Shad holds a position in both Goliath Resources and Amex Exploration at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to discuss three junior resource companies with assets in Sweden that have important news catalysts in 2025, where he is attracted to their current value proposition.   We start off discussing the large research article that Erik wrote and released to his subscribers last week on First Nordic Metals Corp. (TSXV: FNM) (OTCQB: FNMCF).   We get into the underpinning of value at the 3 million ounce Barsele deposit in a JV with Agnico Eagle, and then all the potential upside for this year's coming exploration program at their 100% owned Paubäcken, Storjuktan, and Klippen Projects.  Another upcoming catalyst will be the listing of First Nordic Metals on the Swedish stock exchange in 2025.   Next we pivot over to a recent news out on the lifting of the uranium moratorium by the government of Sweden, and how that portends to opportunity for both District Metals Corp. (TSXV: DMX) (OTCQB: DMXCF) and for the recently announced spinout of the Swedish hard rock uranium assets from Mawson Gold Limited (TSX.V:MAW) (OTC PINK:MWSNF).  In addition to the potential value drivers of the uranium assets held by both companies, there is also the similar catalyst of getting listed on the Swedish stock exchange to bring in more in-country investors.   * In full disclosure, the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.  Additionally, Shad holds a position in First Nordic Metals at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman   Click here to read Erik's First Nordic Metals research article

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to discuss three junior gold companies with recent news out to the market; where he is attracted to the current value proposition.   We start off discussing the exploration upside, prospective project, and recent drill results from Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF),where drill hole GD-24-249 intercepted the Bonanza Zone returning 226.12 g/t or 7.3 oz/t AuEq near surface between 76.60 – 77.60 meters within a larger interval consisting of 45.60 g/t AuEq or 1.5 oz/t AuEq over 5.95 meters.   Next we pivot over to a recent M&A deal in the junior space, with Borealis Mining Company Limited (TSXV: BOGO) is acquiring Gold Bull Resources Corp. (TSXV: GBRC) to consider fast-tracking the development of their Sandman Project in Nevada.   Wrapping up we take a closer look at the potential for value creation from a recent targeting initiative from Altamira Gold Corp. (TSXV: ALTA) (OTC Pink: EQTRF), as part of the ongoing exploration program within the Cajueiro district which is targeting porphyry-related gold mineralization.   * In full disclosure, the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.  Additionally, Shad holds a position in Goliath Resources at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to discuss some of the larger recent merger and acquisition deals in the higher quality projects in tier one jurisdictions, and the value arbitrage that is setting up in the high-quality gold development projects of size and scale that are still held by juniors.   We start off also noting the recent $5Billion takeover of De Grey Mining (ASX:DEG) by Aussie major gold producer Northern Star Resources (ASX:NST), for their Hemi gold project in Western Australia. We also recounted the last few divestments by Newmont Corp (NYSE: NEM) (TSX: NGT) where Dhilmar is acquiring the Éléonore operation in Northern Quebec, Canada for $795million, and there was also the $850 million sale from Newmont of the Musselwhite mining operation to Orla Mining Ltd. (TSX: OLA) (NYSE: ORLA).   This leads to a discussion of the big disconnect in the value of gold development projects with significant gold resources and compelling economic studies in place, that are trading at a mere fraction of where these most advanced assets are at the time of their sale.  It is a nuanced discussion, where we review that not all ounces in the ground should be valued the same, and we get into the quality of the project, the proximity to other major operations, the jurisdiction premiums and discounts, and whether or not the project has already attracted strategic investors in the form of larger producers.   In full disclosure, Integra Resources mentioned by Erik in this interview, is a position held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording. Additionally, Shad is a shareholder of Integra Resources at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to discuss three junior gold, silver, and zinc companies with recent news out to the market; where he is attracted to the current value proposition.   We start off discussing the exploration upside, prospective project, and recent drill results, at Silver47 Exploration Corp. (TSXV: AGA). Highlights from hole DC24-106 include 2.48 meters of 61.44% ZnEq or 2,938.5 g/t AgEq (14.95 g/t gold 249.50 g/t silver, 21.97% zinc, 7.03% lead, 0.42% copper).  While this was near known mineralization it is an impressive high-grade hit, and Erik is interested in seeing more follow-up drilling.   Next we reviewed Callinex Mines (TSXV: CNX) (OTCQX: CLLXF) ongoing fully funded 2024 exploration campaign at the 100% owned Pine Bay Project located within the Flin Flon Mining District of Manitoba.  This project is near infrastructure and the nearby Hudbay 777 mine and processing center that is currently sitting idle, and where this project may be a potential source of mill feed if an economic deposit can be delineated.   We wrap up discussing the news out last week on November 12th, i-80 Gold Corp (TSX: IAU) (NYSE American: IAUX) where in the process of reporting its operating and financial results, the Company announced it envisages a two-step recapitalization process which will include demonstrating a viable path to generating free cash flow, and rescheduling and/or refinancing the existing debt obligations. The company also declared that it is no longer proceeding with the Ruby Hill Base Metal Joint Venture, and considering the potential value of the existing gold resources in a rising gold price environment and taking into account the limited understanding of the base metal potential, it has elected to prioritize more advanced staged gold and silver projects with established resources and technical studies.    (IAU.TO) sold off from $1.32 down to $0.47 on this news on November 13th,  but has started to bounce back some this week.  We question whether the big miss in production guidance, the Base Metals JV being called off, the dilutive C$115million raised in May at much higher prices, and now this company restructuring are all too many red flags to recover.  Conversely we are curious to see how the new CEO Richard Young, famous for selling Teranga to Endeavor Mining, and recently Argonaut to Alamos Gold, is preparing to right-size and restructure the company, and if there is the potential their board may decide to sell of part or all of the company to a larger producer, where this could be a compelling opportunity to be positioning in the company.   * In full disclosure, the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.  Additionally, Shad holds a position in I-80 Gold at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to discuss three junior resource companies with recent news out to the market; where he is attracted to the current value proposition.   We discussed how the capital markets window has been open for copper-nickel-PGM explorer, developer and near-term producer Magna Mining (TSX.V: NICU) (OTCQB: MGMNF), and gold explorer First Nordic Metals (TSX.V: FNM) (OTCQB: FNMCF).  On November 4th, Magna Mining was able to just raise $21.85 Million in a private placement, and First Nordic announced Oct 30th a bought deal private placement of C$10 Million.   We outline how those funds will likely be utilized to advance their respective projects and the catalysts each company has in front of them.    We wrap up discussing the news out on November 8th, with regards to the Integra Resources  (TSXV: ITR) (NYSE American: ITRG) business merger with Florida Canyon Gold Inc. (TSXV: FCGV), and the trend of junior developers buying producing assets to move their pipeline of projects forward without the need to repeatedly go back to market for capital raises.    * In full disclosure, the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to review his key takeaways from the Commodities Global Expo in Fort Lauderdale, Florida last week, and 4 resource stocks that had his attention from the conference.    We start off discussing the sentiment at the event, the types of investors and insights shared with fellow attendees, the multiple commodity focus, and the types of companies that caught his attention at the conference. Then Erik shares the value proposition on four of the specific companies he met with:  Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. (CSE:GCC) (OTC:GCCFF), Denarius Metals Corp. (Cboe CA: DSLV) (OTCQX: DNRSF), Sonoro Gold Corp. (TSXV: SGO) (OTCQB: SMOFF), Amex Exploration (TSXV : AMX) (OTCQX : AMXEF).   * In full disclosure, the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to discuss a number of known gold, silver, and copper advanced exploration and development companies, that have taken some new action turning old stories into new stories, with a boost to their value creation.   We start off looking at the series of junior advanced explorers and developers that have gone out and purchased non-core producing mines from larger companies, to fund their future derisking of flagship development assets through organic incoming revenues, versus ongoing dilutive financings. The junior companies discussed that have executed acquisition transactions of producing mines this year are: Integra Resources (TSXV: ITR) (NYSE American: ITRG), Sierra Madre Gold and Silver (TSXV: SM) (OTCQX: SMDRF), Heliostar Metals (TSXV: HSTR) (OTCQX: HSTXF), and Magna Mining Magna Mining Inc. (TSXV: NICU) (OTCQB: MGMNF). In each case, these mines that were acquired are the first step in generating revenues to plow them into the expansion of other development projects on the pathway to becoming multi-mine producers over the next few years.    Wrapping up we shifted over to the recent newsflow on exploration success from Kootenay Silver (TSXV: KTN) (OTC: KOOYF), at their Columba Project, turning an older known story, with beta to rising silver prices from prior project resources defined, into a new discovery and growth story.  The work their exploration team has been doing at the D-Vein and upcoming drilling at the B-Vein, has ignited a new wave of interest in the Company, because they seem to be onto a thicker high-grade silver vein, that could allow them to really mass up compelling resources quickly.   * In full disclosure, the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.   Additionally, Shad is a current shareholder of Integra Resources, Sierra Madre, Magna Mining, and Kootenay Silver at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to discuss three junior gold exploration companies with recent news out to the market; where he is attracted to the current value proposition.   Inflection Resources Ltd. (CSE: AUCU / OTCQB: AUCUF / FSE: 5VJ) provide an update on October 3rd, on its Phase II exploration program at their Duck Creek Project in New South Wales, Australia conducted under an Exploration Agreement with AngloGold Ashanti Australia Ltd. Drill Hole DCKDH020 intersected the strongest hydrothermal alteration of all holes at Duck Creek and the entire New South Wales exploration program.   Headwater Gold (CSE: HWG) (OTCQB: HWAUF) announced on October 7th, that it has identified multiple high-priority drill targets and has finalized plans for the Company's maiden drill program on its 100% owned TJ project located in northeast Nevada   Tectonic Metals Inc. (TSX-V:TECT) (OTCQB:TETOF) announced September 11th, the initiation of the 2024 drilling program at the Company's flagship, Flat Gold Project in southwestern Alaska. This program only marks Tectonic's second year of drilling at Flat, an expansive, district-scale intrusion-hosted gold system hosting six intrusion targets.  On October 4th, the Company announced it closed the first tranche of its extended C$1.0 million non-brokered private placement offering, and that together with the original offering (announced August 19, 2024), they have closed an aggregate of C$3,657,459 in gross proceeds.    * In full disclosure, the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

(TSXV: SM) (OTCQX: SMDRF), and Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (OTCQX: AMXEF), based on their current risk/reward setups.    * In full disclosure, Shad is also a shareholder of Sierra Madre and Amex Exploration at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to discuss how the derisked junior gold stocks are presenting the most amazing valuation disconnects that we've ever seen.  We start off talking about just how divorced many junior precious metals economic studies are with their “base case” metals price assumptions, from where the spot gold and silver prices actually are at present.  This begs the question of a what a fair base case metals assumption is for PM projects, and if companies and analysts should be doing a better job of comparing these projects at values closer to spot pricing.  We heard for so many prior years in lower metals price environments that we had to deal in the real and value companies based on current metals prices, but now that gold and silver prices are substantially higher, it seems those same people don't want to value the projects based on where metals prices are in the here and now.  The gold producers are going to demonstrating what the actual metals prices can do to their margins in the quarters to come.   In a sea of companies using far too conservative of metals price assumptions in the $1,400-$1,700 levels, we laid out a few companies I sat down with at the Beaver Creek PM Summit that actually did provide both reasonable base case metal price assumptions on their development projects at $1,800-$1,900 gold and $23-$25 silver, but then also provided metal sensitivity data for levels more in alignment with current metals prices at $2,500 gold and $30 silver; like Thesis Gold Inc (TSXV: TAU) (OTCQX: THSGF), Vista Gold Vista Gold Corp. (TSX: VGZ) (NYSE: VGZ), and Skeena Resources Limited (TSX:SKE)(NYSE:SKE).  Some also provided data for the upside potential at $3,000 gold and $35-$36 silver.  In these examples these projects are valued in the current market caps of the companies at a large discount to where the net present value of the projects come in between the $2.3-$4.4Billion ranges.   This just demonstrates how backward-looking the current valuations are on many of these developers and the potential for a sector-wide rerating in many of these derisked projects with defined ounces in the ground and solid economic studies in place.   Wrapping up this lead the conversation in the topic of M&A and if merger or acquisition transactions for these companies at 30%-50% premiums was anywhere close to enough to get a proper valuation multiple on these projects. We may very well see future M&A transactions at much higher premiums if these companies and projects don't start getting re-rated higher to close the value arbitrage.   * In full disclosure, Shad is also a shareholder of Thesis Gold and Skeena Resources at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to discuss two junior resource companies that have put out recent news to the market; where he is attracted to the current value proposition.   Magna Mining Inc. (TSXV: NICU) (OTCQB: MGMNF) announced September 12th that it has entered into a definitive share purchase agreement dated September 11th2024 with a subsidiary of KGHM International Ltd to acquire a portfolio of copper, nickel, platinum, palladium assets located in the Sudbury Basin. Magna will acquire the producing McCreedy West copper mine, the past-producing Levack mine, Podolsky mine, and Kirkwood mine, as well as the Falconbridge Footwall (81.41%), Northwest Foy (81.41%), North Range and Rand exploration assets.*   Western Alaska Minerals (TSXV:WAM) (OTC: WAMFF) announced on September 10th an update on the 2024 discovery at the Warm Springs Target, on its 100% owned Illinois Creek project in western Alaska.  This is appearing to be a CRD type mineralization, where Silver-zinc-lead mineralization has been intersected Including 1.15 m @ 687 g/t Ag, 33.64% Pb, and also  2 m @ 88.5 g/t Ag, 2.39% Pb, 4% Zn.   * In full disclosure, the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.   * In full disclosure, Shad is also a shareholder of Magna Mining at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to discuss three junior gold exploration companies with recent news out to the market; where he is attracted to the current value proposition.   First Nordic Metals Corp.  (TSXV: FNM) (OTCQB: FNMCF) announced on September 9 an exploration update on its 100%-owned Storjuktan project located on the Gold Line belt, northern Sweden. We discuss how this Storjuktan Project along with the Paubäcken project represent the kinds of blue-sky upside along the 100km of strike, while the Barsele gold project, with significant gold resources underpins the current value of the company.   Headwater Gold (CSE: HWG) (OTCQB: HWAUF) announced on Sept 9th that the Company and Centerra Gold Inc. have agreed to a strategic investment under which Centerra will acquire 9.9% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. Erik was surprised that their recent news of staking the two new projects in Nevada, that we discussed last week, or this news of bringing in a larger producer as a strategic investor didn't do much to change the company valuation and just speaks to the sentiment environment we are still in.   Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (OTCQX: AMXEF) announced September 5th, that it has completed a Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") on the company's flagship Perron Project in the northwestern Abitibi region of Quebec. The MRE showed open pit and underground stope constrained 594,100 of measured and indicated ounces at 4.28 g/t Au and 1,049,650 of inferred ounces at 3.80 g/t Au, for a total of 1.6Million ounces of gold in all categories. The stock sold off by over 40% initially, and then over 50% since releasing this resource estimate, and we discussed the potential overreaction by the market that was expecting a larger MRE and the potential value arbitrage.   * In full disclosure, the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.   * In full disclosure, Shad is also a shareholder of Amex Exploration at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to discuss two junior gold exploration companies with recent news out to the market; where he is attracted to the current value proposition.   Goliath Resources (TSX.V:GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF) announced yesterday that they have hit drill intercepts of the highest concentration of visible gold in their drill core to date at their Surebet Discovery, where 66% of 2024 drill holes have contained visible gold, and 100% of them have hit the desired types of mineralization that carry the gold and copper. In addition, in that same news release, they announced a “New Deep Zone” that is mineralized 1.2kms below surface and remains open, along with a new Blue Origin discovery, and that with their additional capital raise that they are expanding this year's drill program to 36,000 meters with 8 drill rigs now turning.*   Headwater Gold (CSE: HWG) (OTCQB: HWAUF) announced today the acquisitions of two additional epithermal vein projects, Rock Creek and Hot Creek, in Northern Nevada. Both projects have been acquired through claim staking on open ground managed by the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) and are owned 100%.   * In full disclosure, the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.   * In full disclosure, Shad is also a shareholder of Goliath Resources at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to review 2 junior gold exploration resource stocks that have his attention based on recent new and the value proposition he believes they offer investors at present.   We start off reviewing Altamira Gold Corp. (TSXV: ALTA) (OTC: EQTRF) and their announcement yesterday about the newly discovered outcrops of porphyritic rocks within the Cajueiro project area. Initial follow-up of these target areas has identified new outcrops of highly altered and brecciated porphyritic intrusive rock 1.6 kilometres to the east of the Maria Bonita target where recent drilling intersected 146m @ 1g/t gold. The area displays extensive sericitic alteration and shows the characteristic quartz veining seen in the mineralized porphyritic host rock at Maria Bonita.    Next we discussed  Ridgeline Minerals Corp. (TSXV: RDG) (OTCQB: RDGMF) and their news announcement this morning they they have entered into an earn-in agreement dated August 21, 2024 with a wholly-owned subsidiary of South32 Limited, pursuant to which South32 can acquire up to an 80% interest in Ridgeline's Selena carbonate replacement deposit ("CRD") project.  We also discuss that they have Nevada Gold Mines as earn-in partners at Swift and Black Ridge, while retaining 100% ownership of Big Blue.   *In full disclosure, many of the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and they also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman  

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to discuss the impact of merger and acquisition transactions within the gold and silver developers and producers; and how these deals are further consolidating down the multi-ounce resources into fewer and fewer hands.  M&A deals can also free up investor funds that were stuck in these companies to then circulate into other junior resource stocks, and this also gets more speculation going as to which companies will be next to be acquired or merge.   We start off reviewing the higher profile acquisition of Osisko Mining Inc. (TSX:OSK) (OTC: OBNNF) by Gold Fields Limited (NYSE: GFI) for a 55% premium.  It was interesting to note how many other advanced exploration and development companies with large resources also spiked up double-digits once the transaction was announced, in consideration for how their ounces in the ground should be rerated higher.    Then we looked at a few of the recent mergers between multi-million ounce projects into larger vehicles to attract more attention and better cost of capital; like Treasury Metals Inc. (TSX: TML; OTCQX: TSRMF) and Blackwolf Copper and Gold Ltd. (TSXV:BWCG; OTCQB: BWCGF) consolidating to form NexGold Mining Corp. (TSXV: NEXG) (OTCQX: NXGCF) and Nighthawk Gold Corp. (TSX: NHK; OTCQX: MIMZF) and Moneta Gold Inc. (TSX: ME; OTCQX: MEAUF) combing to form STLLR Gold Inc. (TSX: STLR) (OTCQX: STLRF).   Wrapping up we look at the journey Integra Resources Corp. (TSXV: ITR) (NYSE American: ITRG) has been on with it first merging with Millennial Precious Metals to combine multiple development and exploration projects into a larger entity in the Great Basin of Idaho and Nevada; but then recently announcing the acquisition of Florida Canyon Gold Inc. (TSXV: FCGV) (OTC: FCGVF). This now brings a producing gold asset into their pipeline, from which the revenues will fund future derisking work at their other projects.   *In full disclosure, many of the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and they also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to discuss enhancing resource portfolios by positioning in gold, silver, copper, or critical minerals companies that have current 3rd-party validation through strategic investments from major mining companies, manufacturers, and cornerstone commodities activist investors.  It's a wide-ranging discussion where we get into the benefits from access to capital, specialized knowledge, vetting of projects and management teams, and the potential of future merger or acquisition deals.   The companies mentioned in this discussion having strategic shareholders are First Nordic Metals (TSXV: FNM) (OTCQB: FNMCF), Headwater Gold Inc. (CSE: HWG) (OTCQB: HWAUF), Inflection Resources (CSE: AUCU) (OTCQB: AUCUF), Brixton Metals (TSX-V: BBB, OTCQB: BBBXF), Ridgeline Minerals (TSXV: RDG) (OTCQB: RDGMF), Snowline Gold (TSX-V:SGD)(OTCQB:SNWGF), Filo Corp. (TSX: FIL) (OTCQX: FLMMF), Montage Gold (TSXV: MAU) (OTCQX: MAUTF), Fireweed Metals (TSXV: FWZ) (OTCQX: FWEDF), Faraday Copper (TSX: FDY) (OTC: CPPKF), Stillwater Critical Minerals (TSXV:PGE)(OTCQB:PGEZF), Magna Mining (TSXV: NICU) (OTCQB: MGMNF), and Dolly Varden Silver (TSXV: DV) (OTCQX: DOLLF).   *In full disclosure, many of the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and they also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to talk stocks and discuss three junior precious metals and base metals companies with recent news out to the market.   Juggernaut Exploration Ltd (JUGR.V) (OTCQB: JUGRF) reported that drilling has recently commenced on its 100% controlled Midas property where drill hole MD-24-47, the first drill hole of the season collared from the Kokomo showing, has intercepted 2 meters of semi-massive sulphide (5-7% pyrite, 2% chalcopyrite and 1% sphalerite) within a broader interval of 84.50 meters.   District Metals Corp. (TSXV: DMX) (OTCQB: DMXCF) reported on assay results for the six drill holes (extension of TOM22-037B, TOM24-039 to -043) from the Spring 2024 drill program at the high grade polymetallic Tomtebo Property located in the Bergslagen Mining District in south-central Sweden. Drill holes TOM24-041 to -043 targeted the Steffenburgs Zone massive sulphide lens down-dip beneath holes TOM21-025, -028 and TOM22-038, which were highlighted by down hole intercepts of 14.3 m at 14.2% Zinc Equivalent (ZnEq) (210.0 to 224.3 m), 30.05 m at 10.9% ZnEq (148.35 to 178.40 m), and 25.5 m at 8.2% ZnEq (249.0 to 274.1 m), respectively.   Lion One Metals Limited (TSXV: LIO) (ASX: LLO) (OTCQX: LOMLF) announced the Company has closed the fully-subscribed upsized brokered private placement financing (the "LIFE Offering") previously announced on July 18, 2024 and July 19, 2024 by issuing 27,027,027 units of the Company at a price of C$0.37 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of C$10,000,000. Concurrently with the LIFE Offering, the Company completed, a non-brokered private placement of 4,458,352 Units on the same terms as the LIFE Offering, for gross proceeds of C$1,649,590.24 (the "Sidecar Private Placement") and together with the LIFE Offering, in aggregate issued 31,485,379 Units for gross proceeds of C$11,649,590.24.     *In full disclosure, the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to discuss three junior companies with recent news out to the market; along with the bizarre environment of gold hitting all-time highs while there still a lot of trepidation and investor apathy for investing longer-term in the junior precious metals stocks.   First Nordic Metals (TSXV: FNM) (OTCQB: FNMCF) just brought in Agnico Eagle  (NYSE: AEM, TSX: AEM) as a strategic shareholder, and also acquired 100% ownership of the Oijärvi Gold Project and greenstone belt in Finland. Brixton Metals (TSX.V:BBB) (OTCQB: BBBXF) just optioned their Atlin Goldfields Project to Eldorado Gold (TSX: ELD) (NYSE: EGO), bringing on yet another senior miner as partners. Goliath Resources (TSX.V:GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF) announced the discovery of abundant visible gold and strong sulphide mineralization in quartz breccia, as well as a significant 22.4 meter intercept of a porphyritic intrusion containing veins with abundant visible gold, molybdenum and bismuth mineralization in GD-24-235 the first drill hole of 2024, in what they have dubbed the “Mothership Feeder Zone.”   *In full disclosure, the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website joins us to discuss three companies with news all released today.   Ramp Metals (TSX.V:RAMP) released further drill results from its Rottenstone SW property, Saskatchewan.   BCM Resources (TSX.V:B) updated the market on its Thompson Knolls Porphyry Cu-Au-Ag-Mo project in Utah, and a key possible drill target.  Goliath Resources (TSX.V:GOT) announced the start of the 15,000 meter drill program at its Golddigger Project in the Golden Triangle.   Click here to visit Erik's site - The Hedgeless Horseman.  

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman, joins me for a nuanced conversation around managing one's portfolio positions in various stages of gold, silver, and copper stocks, amidst the volatility in share price reactions and sector sentiment swings.  We start off discussing the long stretches of time for a year or more where many stocks were bouncing along a bottoming price range, that would have given any investors ample opportunities to have accumulated cheap valuations before the big 3-month surge higher from late February through mid-May.   Despite the corrective move we've seen for the last 6 weeks, many stocks are still up at far higher levels than where they were trading the whole year before that.    We discuss how difficult it seems to be for most retail investors to actually accumulate bearish periods where stock prices are low, causing them to instead wait until stocks have already moved up 100% or 200% before finally buying in at the next intermediate top, and then becoming jaded on the sector, instead of their own poor accumulation strategy.  We talk about the benefits of averaging into positions during consolidation periods as a value investing approach, and then allowing company management teams the time needed to build value after executing on their work strategy.     Most investors are far too impatient, and want immediate results, and don't give their winners enough time to compound, which will wash out the inevitable losses in companies that disappoint.  This leads into a discussion about the converse of that, and whether investors should cut their losses on companies unable to execute, and instead potentially redeploy those funds into companies that are cashed up with good work programs and catalysts that are more probable to see value accretion over time.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

“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.

Jason welcomed Patty Wetterling and Joy Baker in-studio to talk about their new book Dear Jacob and why they felt compelled to write it.

Hour 1: Jason talked about a pastry controversy in his home. Then Patty Wetterling & Joy Baker joined him to talk about their new book Dear Jacob

In a quaint town in Minnesota, the fall of 1989 witnessed a harrowing event that would shape the course of child safety regulations in the U.S. for decades to come. The unsolved disappearance and eventual tragic murder of 11-year-old Jacob Wetterling sent shockwaves across the nation, inspiring a movement for child safety and law reformation.    On that fateful evening of October 22, while Jacob was cycling home from a local convenience store in St. Joseph, Minnesota, with his brother Trevor and friend Aaron Larson, their innocent journey was cruelly interrupted. A masked man wielding a revolver forced the boys into a ditch. As Larson later recollected to ABC News, the harrowing incident felt surreal at first, "It became real pretty quick."    After seizing Jacob and threatening the remaining two with dire consequences, the abductor vanished. Despite the tireless efforts of the community, the FBI, and local police in the subsequent days, Jacob remained missing. His innocent face, symbolizing every family's worst nightmare, became a national call for action, appearing everywhere from milk cartons to highway billboards.    Years later, in 2014, a ray of hope appeared. Re-examining of the Wetterling case by the FBI's Child Abduction Rapid Deployment team brought Danny Heinrich, a resident of Paynesville, into the spotlight. Although initially a name of interest shortly after Jacob's disappearance, he was never formally linked to the crime.    However, with the advent of advanced DNA technology, investigators connected Heinrich to the clothes of Jared Scheierl, another boy victim from the same period. This discovery, while bringing Heinrich back to the investigators' radar, couldn't lead to his arrest due to the expiration of the statute of limitations. But fortune had other plans. Following a search warrant in 2015, Heinrich was arrested on child pornography charges, setting in motion a series of events that would finally bring closure to Jacob's case.    As a part of a plea deal in 2016, Heinrich confessed to Jacob's abduction and subsequent murder, detailing the events of that October night. He recalled Jacob's heartbreaking question, "What did I do wrong?", before the heinous acts that followed. Through this confession, Jacob's remains were discovered, ending the 27-year-long search for him.    The pain and sorrow experienced by Jacob's family, especially his parents Patty and Jerry Wetterling, were unimaginable. Yet, rather than succumb to despair, they transformed their grief into a driving force for change. A year after their son's disappearance, they launched the Jacob Wetterling Resource Center. As stated on their website, its mission is to educate the public about child abduction and its prevention.    Furthermore, their advocacy efforts bore fruit with the inception of the 'Wetterling Act', mandating the establishment of sex offender registries across all states. Patty Wetterling's relentless determination was summed up by her husband Jerry in an interview with ABC News: "Jacob spurred Patty into being a bulldog for keeping kids safe."    The chronicle of this heart-wrenching journey, however, does not end here. Thirty-four years post the tragic incident, Patty Wetterling is about to release her book, titled "Dear Jacob: A Mother's Journey of Hope." As noted by co-author Joy Baker to the Star-Tribune, Patty's story is unparalleled. Not only did she endure the pain of a lost child but also transformed her anguish into a nationwide movement, changing laws and capturing the attention of the highest echelons of power.    Set to be published by the Minnesota Historical Society Press on October 17, the book promises to be an inspirational testament to a mother's love, hope, and unwavering resolve.    The tale of Jacob Wetterling stands as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life. But, more importantly, it highlights the indomitable spirit of a mother and a community that chose action over despair, leaving an enduring legacy in the realm of child safety.
