- Everything in commodities over the past few years has been driven by geopolitics. So today we're going deep on it with one of the best in the business: Jacob Shapiro.The Inflation Reduction Act, the US-China trade war, Washington taking a stake in MP Materials, Argentina reopening, Indonesia's nickel dominance. None of it makes sense without the politics behind it.Jacob co-founded Geopolitical Futures with George Friedman, ran the Operations Centre at Stratfor, and now heads geopolitical analysis at Cognitive Investments in New Orleans. He's also one half of the fantastic Geopolitical Cousins podcast alongside Marko Papic.In this conversation: • Why the gold run isn't finished • Energy: the great deflationary force still to come? • Signal versus noise on Iran, Russia-Ukraine, and what to watch next • Why China doesn't actually want the renminbi as the global reserve currency • What Australia should do about all of it+ How to shape your views in this multi-polar world

Please ensure you read our full disclaimer. - We spent the week pulling apart Canyon Resources, and what came out is the sort of story that should worry anyone who has ever held a minority stake in a single asset developer.
A billion tonne bauxite project in Cameroon, a fully funded announcement, and then $170m of equity at 26 cents that simply never arrived.
Four months later the controlling shareholder was offering those same minorities five cents.
In this ep, we discuss:
- The Canyon expose
- Regis burying a $240m catch-up tax payment, and why quarterly cash builds now flatter every goldie
- The dividend round: Alkane's first-ever payout, Genesis surprising, and Northern Star's buyback that probably never completes
- Ausgold going to OceanaGold, and why the marginal buyer is no longer the Aussie mid-tier
- Mt Cattlin M&A goss
- Lindian's red flag- Copper's all time run

We talk about what separates great geologists from average ones, why some juniors waste capital, where the next discoveries might come from, the role of majors and government in funding exploration, and a few mining stocks and regions that have caught Alex’s attention.

Please ensure you read our full disclaimer. - Rob Mullin returns, a year on from his last visit. The founder and CIO of Marathon Resource Advisors in San Francisco has been investing in natural resources since the early 1990s, running a long short book built around cash flow and dividends rather than stories.
We check in on the predictions he made last time, then work through what a genuinely multipolar world does to supply chains, correlations and the case for owning resources.
In this ep, Rob covers:
Why a 30 to 50% drawdown in precious metals equities was exactly what the doctor ordered, and how Agnico got to its cheapest relative PE in company history
The rare earths arbitrage: what happens when governments throw tens of billions at a sector used to surviving on tens of millions
Riding tanker rates from $30,000 a day to $300,000, and why he is now rotating toward dry bulk
Quickfire takes on nickel, PGMs, tin, tungsten, vanadium and silver versus gold
