Mining Stock Daily

We wrap up Day 2 of AME BC's Roundup Conference in Vancouver with two interviews from today's events.

Peter Grosskopf of SCP Resource Finance presented a call to the audience today in his keynote address. Trevor and Peter discuss having to find a way to smooth the mining development cycle and attract institutional money back into the sector. He has many thoughts on this subject and also ideas on precious metals this year.

Finally, we connect with The Northern Miner Journalist, Henry Lazenby. We talk with him about a few key themes of the past few days, including a critique on BC's Phase I Critical Minerals Agenda, naked short selling in the market, and an emphasis on supply deficits in copper.

Gold Hunter Resources CEO, Sean Kingsley, joins the podcast from the Roundup Conference in Vancouver for a general introduction into the company. Recently, Gold Hunter announced a strategic agreement with Australia's Firefly Metals for the projects in Nova Scotia. Sean talks about returning those newly acquired shares to their shareholders and beginning to look at what is next for the company.

Jason Jessup of Magna Mining joined the podcast for a discussion on the company's exploration strategies in their Sudbury projects for this year. The company has completed some deep drill holes for geophysical data collection recently. After analyzing this data, they will then direct a new drill campaign at both Crean Hill and Shakespeare.

We connected with Jeff Clark of The Gold Advisor and author of a recently published book titled PAYDIRT: Mining for Profits with Gold & Silver Stocks. Jeff talks about the historical moves gold have made during moments of interest rate cutting cycles by central banks and how he expects similar moves in this current environment.

Welcome back to Association for Mineral Exploration BC and the Roundup Conference 2024! We're back with this year's event as the official podcast where we will be providing recaps of conversations and important themes of the event.

Today was Day 1 and it was a big one. The Provence of British Columbia published their Phase I Critical Minerals Strategy. We have Minister Josie Osborne, the Minister for Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation in British Columbia to discuss the strategy and what happens after this publication.

We then welcome in a mining legend. Dr. Robert Quartermian gave today's AME Lunch Keynote. He is also the Co-Chair of Dakota Gold Corp and Member of the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame. We talk about the important aspects of his career and his focus happening right now.

Santiago Capital's Brent Johnson provides his market commentary from VRIC on a weekend following new all time highs in the major US indices. But are investors and traders out over thier skis? Brent thinks so, in regards to the unknowns of interest rate policies from the Federal Reserve and geopolitical issues over seas.

Well-known resource speculator Rick Rule joined Trevor at the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference for a conversation of the buying opportunities he's seeing in this resource market. We talk about the uranium moves, but also spend quite a bit of time talking about unloved precious metal equities.

Today we welcome in the legendary John Hathaway of Sprott Inc. John has a tremendous 30-year career under his belt which began with generalist investment work and then blossomed into gold and gold mining investments.

John keeps his thesis simple when it comes to the miners. He shares those ideas in this discussion and also discuss the backdrop of the gold price.
