Summary: Where are precious metals heading? I sit down with Robert Kientz to discuss the future of the metals sector in consideration of the inflationary circumstances.

Neoliberals go full fascist  (Canadian bank account seizures, etc etc) Should we limit what we keep in banks now that we know how easily it's stolen? What about bitcoin wallets? The Cashless Society is coming soon. Look out.  Clearly another reason to own physical gold and silver.  The Ukraine thing is completely our fault. What are the risks of Russia taking the Russian part back? $150 oil?

Summary: Gold is getting close to the crucial 1900 range, and will probably break it shortly. Silver and the mining stocks are lagging—what does all of this mean for the markets? I have Michael Moor on the show today to recap previous predictions in the markets, and discuss what has played out since then.

We were joined by Stephen Stewart, QC Copper & Gold’s CEO, for a sponsor update. The news out of Quebec is quite encouraging. According to just released drill results, QC intersected 184 meters of .32% copper equivalent, well above the required .2% cutoff grade. Two drills are currently turning, with a third on the way; the goal is to keep increasing the already substantial resource by “turning waste rock into copper.” Mineralization is abundant, both within the proposed pit as well as numerous areas outside of it. QC is cashed up with CAD $18 million in the treasury and a substantial amount of marketable securities on hand. Thus the company can easily finance its 60,000 meter drill program for 2022. While the stock went higher during the past year, Stewart believes that a story this compelling can only stay quiet for so long, before the market catches on and affords it a more realistic price commensurate with its resource.

We were joined by Eminent Gold’s CEO Paul Sun, along with the technical team, including Senior Geologist Dan McCoy, Justin Malliard and Ajeet Malliard (all PhD’s) for a sponsor update. Things have been moving along quickly at the Gilbert South and Hot Springs Range projects. The recent geophysical campaign at Gilbert South has yielded impressive results. It has provided further clarity to the already identified multi-kilometer length faults hosting gold bearing veins and allowed Eminent to identify definitive drill targets for this year’s program. Senior Geologist Dan McCoy has over 30 years’ mining experience around the world and was lured out of retirement by Eminent’s potential for big discoveries. He is searching for 10+ million ounces of bonanza grade gold and believes the team is looking in all the right places. These projects have had limited exploration in the past.

Summary: It’s time we take a stand against what the central banks are doing. Things have gotten out of hand, and here to talk about it is Greg Mannarino. He suggests that in order to make a move towards change, we have to develop a system outside of the current one, to which cryptocurrency could be a game changer.
