In our latest report, we outline the main reasons why electricity prices will double in the next 18 months. We also explain how you can lessen or mitigate these affects by using the futures markets to cushion the blow and offset higher costs. Anyone can do it, whether you're buying options, futures or just resource stocks, like oil and gas producers. It's what the big companies have been doing for years. How come Southwest Airlines' profits never seem to get hit by higher jet fuel prices? Simple, it's because they buy their fuel in the forward market when they're trading cheaply. You can do the same. Always have a plan in place for when the government messes up, which they do all the time. www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com

We sat down with Fury Gold Mines’ Chairman Ivan Bebek and CEO Tim Clark for a sponsor update. Fresh from the recent C$11 million marquee investor financing and the Dolly Varden Silver transaction, they were both extremely positive about Fury’s future.

Four holes are planned for Eau Claire’s Eastern Extension and three to four holes for the Western Side Hinge. Additional holes will be drilled once more is learned about the sites’ geology. The Percival project, located 14 kilometers to the east, has also been targeted for drilling. Clark believes that there’s great promise here, which was missed by an earlier historic drill program. But perhaps the most compelling case for Fury
