Recording Date 7-10-2026. In this episode, Bob explains why he came out of retirement to pursue Dakota Gold's opportunity in South Dakota's historic Homestake District and why he believes Richmond Hill can become the foundation for a much larger gold-producing district.
I speak with Bob about Dakota Gold's approximately $600 million market capitalization, $107 million cash position, zero debt, and funding runway designed to carry the company toward a shovel-ready project. He breaks down Richmond Hill's 2.6 million ounces of measured and indicated gold, a projected 17-year mine life, expected annual production of roughly 150,000 ounces, and the potential for project value to approach $3 billion at a $4,000 gold price. We also discuss the company's 2029 production target, private-land advantage, nearby infrastructure, permitting pathway, institutional ownership, and management's significant equity stake. Bob also highlights Maitland's high-grade potential, including 47 intersections averaging about 11 grams per tonne, and explains how Richmond Hill cash flow could support future district-wide expansion. He closes by outlining the major risks, the importance of experienced operators, and why he remains bullish on gold, mining equities, and disciplined producers generating strong free cash flow.

✅ Bob Quartermain returned from retirement because he believes Dakota Gold offers another company-building opportunity.

Recording Date 7-24-2026. The S&P 500 slipped 0.6% as semiconductor stocks, technology companies, and corporate bonds began flashing signs that investors may finally be rotating out of overvalued areas. At the same time, the U.S. Dollar Index climbed 0.7% and the 10-year yield jumped 2.9%, creating a major macro setup ahead of the Federal Reserve meeting. My base case is still that Kevin Warsh and the Fed hold rates steady, but a surprise increase could strengthen the dollar and trigger the commodity washout sale many investors have been waiting for. Gold gained 1.3% and is tightening inside a triangle that I believe is more likely to break higher, although I still have limit orders ready near $3,500 to $3,600 in case the market hands us bargain basement prices.
Silver rallied 4.6% and continues to offer an attractive risk and reward setup, with support near $54 and much larger long-term upside if the bullish commodity cycle continues. Copper gained 1.5%, while uranium rose 0.6% as the spot price held near $86 and term pricing remained at $95.50, reinforcing my view that summer weakness should be used to accumulate quality exposure. Oil delivered the monster move of the week with WTI jumping 10.6% and Brent gaining 11.8%, but both markets have now filled important gaps and reached technical levels where I believe a reversal lower is becoming more likely. Natural gas, thermal coal, platinum, and several producer funds are showing bearish or neutral patterns, while palladium and nickel are beginning to present more interesting opportunities. Bitcoin finished down 0.9% with another bear flag taking shape, and while I'm traveling, the channel continues with upcoming conversations featuring Robert Quartermain, Joe Mazumdar, and Meteoric Resources Executive Chairman Dr Andrew Tunks.
 
Key Insights in this episode
✅ S&P 500 Fell 0.6% and I remain bearish as technology weakness spreads, with the 6,600 gap still in focus.
✅ U.S. Dollar Rose 0.7% and a breakout above 101.8 could push it toward 103, pressuring commodities.
✅ Gold Gained 1.3% and is nearing a major triangle breakout, though I am prepared to buy a drop toward $3,500 to $3,600.
✅ Silver Jumped 4.6% with support near $54, resistance around $64, and strong long term upside.
✅ Uranium Rose 0.6% as spot held near $86 and term pricing stayed at $95.50, supporting my bullish outlook.
✅ WTI Oil Surged 10.6% to about $93.50, but I now see greater risk of a reversal unless it breaks toward $96.

Recording Date 7-7-2026. In this episode, Darren explains how Centaurus built its position in Brazil over nearly two decades before acquiring the Jaguar project, assembling an experienced development team, advancing permitting, and preparing for construction. We discuss the company's debt-free balance sheet, shareholder structure, and the technical advantages of sulfide nickel over laterite deposits, including lower capital intensity, smaller environmental footprint, and competitive operating costs.
I also ask Darren about Jaguar's resource size, production profile, Glencore's strategic offtake agreement, and the financing process leading toward a final investment decision. We explore the project's cost position, long mine life, future underground expansion, and why management believes Jaguar can compete globally even during weak nickel markets. Darren also explains how project funding, strategic partnerships, and disciplined execution remain the final milestones before construction begins, positioning Centaurus to enter production as market conditions improve.
 
Key Insights In This Episode
✅ Jaguar is a large low-cost sulfide nickel project.
✅ Sulfide nickel offers lower processing costs than laterite.
✅ Glencore's offtake validates the project.
✅ Funding remains the final major milestone.
✅ The project targets first production by 2029.
✅ Management is focused on disciplined execution.

Recording Date 7-22-2026. In this episode, Rick answers dozens of audience questions covering gold, copper, oil, lithium, uranium, royalty companies, junior miners, and portfolio construction while sharing the valuation framework he has developed over decades of investing. Together we discuss Seabridge Gold and the potential KSM transaction, Wheaton Precious Metals, Franco-Nevada, Triple Flag, OR Royalties, Schlumberger, Ivanhoe Mines, Sovereign Metals, ReconAfrica, Riverside Resources, Bravo Mining, Collective Mining, Magna Mining, Luca Mining, and many other companies that investors are closely watching.
Throughout our conversation, I ask Rick to explain how he separates speculation from investing, why he focuses on three-to-five-year value instead of short-term price action, and why royalty companies remain among his favorite long-term holdings. We also explore his outlook for structural oil shortages beginning around 2029, the enormous future capital requirements for the copper industry, concerns surrounding direct lithium extraction, prospect generator investing, geopolitical risks, and the importance of disciplined portfolio management. Rick repeatedly emphasizes risk versus reward, patience, and buying quality assets at meaningful discounts while avoiding emotional investing and short-term market noise.
 
Key Insights In This Episode
✅ Seabridge Gold remains deeply undervalued.
✅ Wheaton offers strong long-term growth.
✅ Oil shortages could emerge by 2029.
✅ Diversify across prospect generators.
✅ Buy value, not market momentum.
✅ Patience beats short-term trading.
