    Trillion-Dollar Mining Stocks, Developer Due Diligence & Stock Picks - Fund Manager Samuel Pelaez

    "The long-term drivers for the commodity cycle are intact. The rally that we've seen over the last 24 months, it's just like a teaser of what's coming when you look at broad sort of like landscape ideas in terms of like the exposure of global markets to mining and metals and to energy as well, it's less than 1% in some cases. If that only gets back to long-term averages of 5 to 10%, we're looking at trillions of dollars that are going to roll into our space. We live in a world where companies have trillion-dollar valuations. Why can't our companies [miners] have trillion-dollar valuations?" explains Resource Fund Manager Samuel Pelaez in this MSE episode.

    Rick Rule Symposium Reflections: Conversations, Critiques & Portfolio Construction - Powers & Leni

    Bill Powers and co-host Brian Leni sit down for their monthly Junior Mining Insights chat and reflect upon their conversations with numerous resource investors at the recent 2026 Rick Rule Symposium in Boca Rotan, Florida. Topics Discussed: • Concentration over diversification. Both Bill & Brian favor fewer, better-understood positions over sprawling portfolios that can't realistically be researched. • Do the math on your time. Rick Rule's "one hour per company per month" rule is a useful gut-check for how many positions you can genuinely follow. • Know the source's entry point & bias. A recommendation from someone who bought in at a fraction of today's price carries a very different risk-reward than your entry. • Understand mining stock marketing. Well marketed stories grab retail attention. But are the execs "mining the market" or building a mining company? • Geopolitical uncertainty shows up first in financing. Watch which portfolio companies need to raise capital in the next few months — that's where macro shocks bite hardest. • AI is a research accelerant, not a replacement for network and experience. Both Bill and Brian use AI tools to speed up analysis of filings and reports, but firsthand relationships and institutional history remain the differentiator. • CEO charisma matters at the booth. Awkwardness alone isn't disqualifying, but it compounds risk when other fundamentals are already weak. 00:00 Intro 00:46 Portfolio Overload 02:20 Conviction Beats Diversification 05:59 Time and ETFs 07:53 Marketing Versus Fundamentals 11:46 Know Your Risk Profile 13:33 Entry Price and Bias 16:39 Slow Down and Research 19:35 Geopolitics and Financing Risk 24:12 Review Your Portfolio 27:15 Royalty Valuation Skepticism 33:21 Using AI for Mining Stocks 38:33 Experience Network and Bias 42:47 Reputation and Naming Names 47:18 CEO Charisma Matters Brian’s website: https://www.juniorstockreview.com/ Brian’s YT: https://www.youtube.com/@FIELD_NOTES Bill’s Twitter: https://x.com/MiningStockEdu Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Bill and Brian are not licensed financial advisors.

    “Fully Funded to FID with $50M Treasury of Cash & Grants” says First Phosphate CEO John Passalacqua

    First Phosphate CEO John Passalacqua discusses how the recent small-cap volatility does not affect the fundamentals of First Phosphate due to the company’s strong treasury. Passalacqua, a former trader and market maker, says geopolitical tensions and rate fears have driven a systemic selloff that often forces investors to sell winners, but he views it as a catharsis that flushes weak hands. He highlights First Phosphate’s 24 to 36-month runway, citing over $30M cash in treasury plus access to a $16.7M Canadian government contribution and a recent $17.7M raise at C$2, totaling nearly $50M to reach feasibility (Q4-2026 or Q1-2027), permitting, and final investment decision. He updates on the OTCQX ADR (FPHOY) volume building and describes strong collaboration with local First Nations who are supportive. The company targets its Quebec high-purity phosphate mine producing in 2029 and is advancing plans for a purified phosphoric acid plant at Port Saguenay, with feasibility expected by. 00:00 Intro 00:39 Market Volatility View 02:23 Cash Runway Update 03:23 Why Shares Pulled Back 05:54 ADR Listing Explained 07:25 First Nations Partnerships 10:59 Community Chalet Concerns 12:19 Phosphoric Plant Plans 13:57 Feasibility Timeline 14:16 Wrap Up and Tickers Tickers: CSE: PHOS – FSE: KD0 – OTCQX: FRSPF – OTCQX-ADR: FPHOY Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Sponsor First Phosphate pays Mining Stock Education a United States dollar ten thousand per month coverage fee.

    Mark Zaret: 46-Bagger, Multi-Decade Winners, Ongoing Bets, & Buying Illiquidity When Nobody Cares

    Pro small-cap investor Mark Zaret reviews five of his stock picks. Four of these stocks he has publicly mentioned on MSE over the past five years. $TNZ.to became a 46-bagger ($1.50 to $70/share), two other multi-decade holds were recently bought out ($AU.v & $FOX.cn). Mark explains why he is still holding the other two stock picks ($FOR.v & $GRD.v). Throughout the interview, Mark shares his approach to small cap speculating which has produced tremendous wealth for himself over the decades. He is very patient and loves buying prospective illiquid small-caps when nobody cares. Mark began investing in the early 1990’s and achieved a significant net worth by focusing on Canadian micro-cap companies, especially junior resource stocks. Success was achieved through a disciplined approach of investing primarily in early life-cycle companies with low market caps, high insider ownership, and executive boards with strong credentials. Mark is currently working at Spartan Fund Management as strategist for small and micro-cap investing.

    “You Can Buy $CTGO at Just Three Times Next Year’s Free Cash Flow” – Contango’s Shawn Khunkhun

    Contango Silver & Gold president Shawn Khunkhun discusses why CTGO shares are down ~50% since January and how this presents investors with a buying opportunity.

    Midnight Sun’s Dumbwa Copper Deposit Extends to 6.7 km of Continuous Mineralization - Adrian O’Brien

    Midnight Sun Mining VP Adrian O’Brien explains how the company has expanded its near-surface copper mineralization at the Dumbwa basement dome-hosted sulfide copper deposit in Zambia’s Domes region to 6.7 km strike within an 11.5 km phase-one program and a broader 20 km geochemical target. O’Brien explains the deposit’s close geological analogy to Barrick’s nearby Lumwana deposit, outlines a systematic “drill like a major” fence-drilling method with 50 m hole spacing and 100–200 m fence spacing enabled by low Zambian drill costs, and says the approach is designed to define edges, grade variability, and stacked, relatively flat mineralized lenses from surface to ~200 m depth. He discusses expectations for a first MRE in the fall, continued drill result releases, planned magnetics and metallurgical testing, reasons for share-price weakness despite operational progress, and ongoing but undisclosed monetization talks for the Kazhiba oxide resource. 00:00 Intro 00:28 Dumbwa Discovery Update 01:15 Basement Dome Copper Explained 04:10 Majors-Style Drill Strategy 11:16 Data Modeling And MRE 12:33 Deposit Scale & Geometry 14:08 Share Price Disconnect 19:19 Kazhiba Oxide Monetization 20:32 Upcoming Catalysts Roadmap https://midnightsunmining.com/ TSXV:MMA OTCQX:MDNGF Press release discussed: https://midnightsunmining.com/2026/midnight-sun-continues-rapid-strike-expansion-at-dumbwa-now-6-7-kilometres-of-near-surface-copper-mineralization/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Sponsor Midnight Sun Mining pays MSE a United States dollar ten thousand per month coverage fee.

    David Lotan Shows You How to Make Junior Mining Millions: Aurion & Fox River Buyouts Explained

    In this episode of Mining Stock Education, host Bill Powers sits down with pro resource investor and returning guest David Lotan. David buys nearly all his junior resource stocks in the open market and employs a process any retail investor can follow. You don’t need to be an accredited investor to make millions in mining stocks. David proves it! David shared: "Especially in the last decade, the real bargains are in the open market. It's, to me, far more valuable to find little companies trading for peanuts where management just is missing one of those ingredients. If you can grab a hold of that capital structure before it's ruined, and if management is well-intended and can follow an investor-friendly pathway, you can get fantastic outcomes." David shares how he went from just being an investor in Aurion Resources and Fox River Resources to becoming the chairman of both as a leading shareholder. The companies were recently independently bought out for just shy of C$600M total. He explains how the sales came about and shares a behind-the-scenes look into how M&A happens in junior mining. Listen to be educated and inspired in your junior mining journey! 00:00 Intro 01:26 Why Juniors Got Cheap 03:02 Aurion Early Crisis 05:20 Chairman and Financing 05:55 Exit Expectations 09:48 Agnico Buyout Details 10:30 Investor Alignment 12:52 Why Sale Took Years 15:35 Rupert Conflict Timeline 20:35 Market Forces Drive M&A 23:42 Strategy During Skirmish 29:43 Open Market Buying 30:40 Cash Deal and Trust 32:26 Trust and Win-Win 41:05 Fox River Buyout 45:39 Warrants and Bargains 49:00 Tenaz Energy Win Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Mining Stock Education offers informational content based on available data but it does not constitute investment, tax, or legal advice.
