Recording Date 7-8-2026. In this episode, Benoit walks me through Aya's current financial strength, including its US$3 billion market capitalization, US$170 million in cash, positive quarterly cash flow, and industry-leading silver margins driven by low production costs and strong realized prices. We discuss how the company has consistently delivered projects on time and on budget, the transformation of the Zgounder Mine into a high-performing operation producing well above nameplate capacity, and why Aya's experienced construction team gives investors confidence as it advances its next major development.
I also ask Benoit about the fully permitted Edine project, the unique geology behind Aya's rare pure silver deposits, shareholder structure, exploration upside, and scalability across its Moroccan districts. We dive into Boumadine's potential as a Tier One asset with rapid capital payback, why management believes the market is undervaluing the company's future production profile, and the factors that could trigger a significant valuation rerating. Benoit also addresses operational risks including construction timing, water availability, staffing, dilution, funding strategy, and why Aya expects to finance future growth largely through internally generated cash flow while continuing an aggressive exploration program.
 
Key Insights In This Episode
✅ Aya is generating strong cash flow with industry-leading silver margins.
✅ Zgounder is a rare pure silver mine with high leverage to silver prices.
✅ Edine remains on track for production by mid-2029.
✅ Boumadine has the potential to become a Tier One mining asset.
✅ Future growth is expected to be funded through operating cash flow.
✅ Management sees significant upside through production growth and rerating.

Recording Date 7-16-2026. In this episode, Rick explains why higher US interest rates and a stronger dollar have restrained gold, and why a future political retreat from tight monetary policy could become the catalyst for another major precious-metals advance. I also ask him about weakening nickel prices, speculative inventory liquidation, lower economic liquidity, and the growing financing costs affecting commodity markets.
Rick then ranks and analyzes Freehold Royalties, Equinox Gold, Snowline Gold, Banyan Gold, Saturn Metals, Arras Minerals, Eco Atlantic, Cerro de Pasco, Honey Badger Silver, and several emerging explorers. We examine Equinox Gold after its 50% decline, including merger-related selling, Greenstone's cash-flow potential, possible asset sales, and Ross Beatie's likely next moves. Rick also discusses offshore oil exploration, frontier basins, indigenous royalties, mine-development timelines, warrants, infrastructure risk, and the importance of management discipline.
 
Key Insights In This Episode
✅ Higher interest rates continue to pressure gold.
✅ Lower rates could trigger the next major gold rally.
✅ Equinox Gold's selloff has improved its valuation.
✅ Arras Minerals delivered exceptional copper drill results.
✅ Banyan and Snowline remain top Yukon exploration stories.
✅ Strong management matters as much as great deposits.

Recording Date 7-10-2026. In this episode, Derrick and Kody walk me through the company's unique structure, its current royalty portfolio, financial position, and why they believe Indigenous communities can unlock significantly greater long-term value by pooling royalty assets into a diversified public company rather than holding them individually. They explain the importance of the Bruce Jack royalty, the massive long-term upside of Seabridge Gold's KSM project, and how Nations Royalty intends to become the premier vehicle for Indigenous-owned mining royalties across Canada.
From my perspective, one of the biggest takeaways is that this story extends well beyond today's producing assets. Derrick and Kody explain why building relationships with Indigenous communities is their highest priority, why future partnerships represent the company's largest growth catalyst, and how additional royalty acquisitions could rapidly expand the portfolio. We also discuss management's extensive mining finance backgrounds, the support of industry leaders connected to Franco-Nevada and Wheaton Precious Metals, the importance of improving BC Mineral Tax cash flows, the potential impact of KSM's future development, and why they believe this business model could eventually expand internationally while creating lasting value for both Indigenous communities and shareholders.
 
Key Insights In This Episode
✅ Nations Royalty is Canada's first majority Indigenous-owned royalty company.
✅ KSM is the company's flagship long-life royalty asset.
✅ New Indigenous partnerships are the biggest growth catalyst.
✅ Brucejack provides growing royalty cash flow today.
✅ Pooling royalties creates value through diversification.
✅ Management is building long-term Indigenous partnerships across Canada.

Recording Date 7-8-2026. In this episode, Elyssia explains how Latin Metals keeps overhead low, avoids unnecessary shareholder dilution, and partners with larger mining companies that fund exploration while allowing Latin Metals to retain significant long-term value through option agreements, milestone payments, and royalty interests. I also explore the experience of CEO Keith Henderson and the technical team, the company's strong insider ownership, and why years of building a high-quality project portfolio are beginning to translate into meaningful opportunities.
I also dive into the company's growing pipeline of exploration catalysts, including major drilling campaigns, expanding partnerships with Moxico Resources and Dora Gold, and management's goal of increasing partner-funded exploration commitments from approximately CAD $75 million to as much as CAD $180 million by the end of 2026. Elyssia explains the significance of the Zaha copper project, the structure of Latin Metals' earn-in agreements, and why multiple projects create numerous opportunities for value creation. We finish by discussing the company's biggest risks, the launch of Latin Explore, and why management believes the next 18 months could become the most catalyst-rich period in the company's history.
 
Key Insights In This Episode
✅ Prospect generator model minimizes shareholder dilution.
✅ Partner-funded exploration could reach CAD $180 million by 2026.
✅ Sixteen projects provide multiple discovery opportunities.
✅ Earn-in agreements fund exploration and create royalty upside.
✅ Key catalysts include Zaha drilling and new partnerships.
✅ Strong insider ownership aligns management with shareholders.

Doomberg, energy analyst, macro commentator, and publisher of the Doomberg research platform, to examine the latest geopolitical developments affecting global energy markets, sanctions, military strategy, and commodity investing.
👉 https://newsletter.doomberg.com
Recording Date 7-13-2026. In this episode, Doomberg challenges many of the mainstream narratives surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, arguing that markets are focusing on the wrong risks while underestimating the vulnerability of critical oil and gas infrastructure across the Middle East. Together we explore Iran's strategic objectives, China's growing flexibility in energy supply chains, the effectiveness of sanctions, military supply constraints, and why geopolitical escalation remains the dominant variable for oil prices.
Doomberg explains why supply chains are becoming less efficient, why sanctions often strengthen the countries they target, and why Europe continues relying on Russian energy despite aggressive political rhetoric. We also discuss the abundance of natural gas and natural gas liquids, the long-term evolution of global hydrocarbons, why oil faces increasing competition from cheaper fuels, and how investors should think about commodities, resilience, manufacturing, and future energy transitions amid rising geopolitical uncertainty.
 
Key Insights In This Episode
✅ Doomberg says the real oil market risk is attacks on Middle East energy infrastructure.
✅ China has enough energy flexibility to absorb temporary oil supply disruptions.
✅ A multipolar world is creating higher inflation and less efficient supply chains.
✅ Europe continues buying Russian LNG despite sanctions.
✅ Sanctions are making Russia, Iran, and China more resilient.
✅ Natural gas and NGLs are steadily replacing more expensive oil.
