“A Great Stepping Stone”: 24% Resource Increase at Muntanga Project - Atomic Eagle CEO Phil Hoskins
Atomic Eagle CEO Phil Hoskins stated: “To deliver a 24% increase in total resources from our maiden drill program – and to do so at a cost of just US$0.05 per pound – is a strong endorsement of our exploration approach and the potential scale of the uranium resources across our Muntanga Project area. This resource upgrade is a great start to achieving the Exploration Target we announced for the Project late last year. The Company aims to materially increase the mineral resource to underpin a significantly larger uranium mine in Zambia. We’re embarking on the largest drill program for the Project in almos...
“Hole 57 is a Discovery Hole”: Scorpio Gold Hits at Black Mammoth Target explains Leo Hathaway
Host Bill Powers interviews Scorpio Gold CEO Zane Kalyan and Executive Technical Director Leo Hathaway about exploration at the consolidated Manhattan District in Nevada ten miles south of Kinross’ Round Mountain. Hathaway explains why the underexplored trend with historic pits and workings attracted him, his role overseeing exploration and communicating a Lumina Group-style plan to grow the current 740,000-ounce pit-constrained inferred resource toward a 2-million-ounce year-end target and possibly beyond. They discuss Black Mammoth’s geology on the Reliance Fault and why hole 57 is viewed as a “discovery hole,” highlighted by 40.23m of over 1 g/t gold from 195m downhole, with sys...
How to Manage a Junior Gold Stock Portfolio Amidst Volatility - Pro Investor David Erfle
Pro Investor David Erfle reveals how he is managing the recent junior mining volatility and sell-off. David reminds listeners that in small resource stocks risk management is number one. Although he is not predicting it, he even sees the possibility where gold might trade down to $2,800/oz. If gold closes a week below $4,200/oz that is a threshold that David expects would trigger more selling. This recent sell-off, he explains, also creates a nice possible entry point for new gold stock investors. Dave emphasizes that fundamentals remain bullish longer term, but risk management, taking profits, and accumulating in tranches are...

Eau Claire Gold Project Advances with 11.74 g/t gold over 6.63m with Fury Gold Mines CEO Tim Clark
Tim Clark, CEO of Fury Gold Mines, provides an update on the advancements at the Eau Claire gold project in northern Quebec as well as an overall corporate update along with SVP Bryan Atkinson. The key Eau Claire highlight was infill drill hole 26EC-099, which targeted an inferred portion of the Eau Claire resource and intercepted 11.74 g/t gold over 6.63 metres approximately 40m down plunge from previous drilling. A second hole, 26EC-101, which is a further 40m step down plunge outside of the existing resource envelope has just been completed and results are pending. “Drilling at Eau Claire continues to re...
“People Call Me Crazy”: Three Contrarian Macro Trades from Tavi Costa
Tavi Costa, founder and CEO of Azuria Capital, reveals three contrarian macro trades for which, he says, “people will call me crazy.” He also discusses the recent gold sell-off, which Costa argues does not fit a typical liquidation event since equities and treasuries were not crashing; he suggests an alternative possibility that Iran or other gray-area actors may have sold gold accumulated via oil trade outside the dollar system. Costa says the pullback created an oversold buying opportunity and expects gold to be multiples higher over 5–10 years, driven by dollar devaluation tied to U.S. twin deficits, central-bank buying, stagnant mine s...
"We're Already in Deficit”: The Critical Minerals Crisis No One's Talking About - Amanda van Dyke
Host Brian Leni interviews Amanda van Dyke, founder and managing director of the Critical Minerals Hub and author of The Mineral Imperative, about rising mineral demand, supply-chain complexity, and geopolitical risk. Van Dyke says global metals and minerals output has doubled over 25 years and must at least double again to maintain today’s economic level, while mining faces lower grades and a discovery drought. She warns shortages can trigger volatile outcomes, including trade and shooting wars, noting China invested about $1 trillion over 25 years to control roughly 60% of the global metals/minerals supply chain and 90% of some small critical metals. They di...
How Investors Can Win the Critical Minerals Global War with Expert Tomasz Nadrowski
Tomasz Nadrowski is the author of “Mineral War: China’s Quest for Weapons of Mineral Destruction.” In this episode, host Bill Powers interviews Tomasz to understand the nature of this mineral war so that investors can discern the best profit opportunities. Nadrowski shares that China has quasi-monopolized and weaponized critical mineral supply chains, forcing the West to rebuild upstream-to-downstream value chains where geopolitics can matter as much as geology. He describes his mining and hedge fund background, his fund’s focus on rare earths, battery materials, and specialty metals, and the need to assess offtake, processing capacity, and government policy. Tomasz a...

“We’re Selling Oil Stocks Now” says Resource Fund Manager Adrian Day
Bill Powers interviews resource fund manager Adrian Day about market volatility tied to war in Iran, comparisons to the late 1970s, and positioning in gold, oil, and commodities. Day argues the U.S. is moving into stagflation as employment and retail weaken while inflation remains stubborn, citing issues with unemployment data, rising credit card debt, and consumers trading down. He explains gold often rises before geopolitical events and then sells off as profits are taken, while remaining bullish on gold over the next 6–12 months. On oil, he says the oil stocks have rerated and are not especially cheap, so he ha...
Canada Funds First Phosphate & Incentivizes Domestic Phosphate Production with CEO John Passalacqua
Bill Powers interviews First Phosphate CEO John Passalacqua following PDAC, where the company received a non-repayable C$16.7M grant and highlighted government support for critical mineral supply chains. Passalacqua says the funding de-risks the company through feasibility, permitting, and toward a final investment decision, with drilling nearly complete and a feasibility study targeted for December 2026. He explains LFP batteries are largely phosphate-based and that First Phosphate’s high-purity igneous phosphate resource in Quebec is rare and advantaged by proximity to infrastructure and a deep-sea port. He discusses phosphate being added to Canada’s critical minerals list and related tax credits for...
