Mining Stock Daily

A few weeks ago, employees connected to Vizsla Silver were abducted in Sinaloa, Mexico. Authorities continue to investigate the situation, and details remain limited. Since that time, there have also been additional reports of cartel-related violence in parts of Mexico, which has understandably heightened concern across the mining industry and among investors.

Vizsla Silver is a working partner of Mining Stock Daily. Vizsla Silver has made it clear they have never been extorted, received threats from a cartel or paid extortion. Our goal here is not to speculate on the specifics of an ongoing investigation, nor to amplify online rumors or unverified claims. 

Instead, this conversation is about providing broader context. Organized crime dynamics in Mexico are complex, and events like this raise important questions about jurisdictional risk, regional security realities, and how companies operate responsibly in those environments.

This is not an investigative segment, and it is not investment advice. It’s an effort to bring informed perspective to a situation where there is currently more noise than clarity. 

To help us understand that broader landscape, I’m joined by journalist Ioan Grillo, who has spent years reporting on cartel structures and organized crime in Mexico and across Latin America.

Jamie Holman, portfolio manager at Merck Investments, joins the show to discuss the revenge of real assets and the significant capital rotation moving from growth stocks into the commodity sector. Drawing on the idea that software "ate the world," Holman explains how the current AI buildout is ironically driving investors back to mining and energy infrastructure as they seek the physical makings of the new economy. The episode reflects on the institutional sentiment at the recent BMO conference, contrasting this newfound enthusiasm with the gun-shy nature of producers following the mistakes of past cycles. A major focus is placed on the mainstream adoption of gold, highlighting how crypto advocates and large stablecoin issuers like Tether are now serving as significant catalysts for bullion demand. The discussion delves into "financial alchemy" within the royalty and streaming sector, using recent multi-billion dollar deals to illustrate how companies can daylight value by separating cash flows from non-core assets. Listeners will gain insights into the U.S. government's shift toward a "wartime footing" for critical minerals, as officials recognize the multi-decade challenge of rebuilding supply chains to end foreign reliance. To conclude, Holman analyzes the hidden value in non-cash-flowing developers and explains why high free cash flow yields suggest the industry is only in the "early innings" of a structural recovery.
