They debate valuation, premiums, break fees, and the tax math behind cash-only deals. Then they welcome Simon Marcotte, former CEO of Northern Superior, fresh off a ~$375M sale to IAMGOLD.

    #80 Otavio "Tavi" Costa | The Quiet Gold Repricing: Central Banks, AI, and the Return of Hard Assets

    Denis is back on the pod as something snapped in the gold market. While the mainstream blames “retail panic” and “overbought conditions,” Crescat’s macro strategist Otavio “Tavi” Costa thinks we’re witnessing the quietest act of monetary warfare in decades — one led not by retail investors, but by central banks front-running a sovereign balance-sheet crisis. In this episode of CrashLabs, we tear into: - Why the U.S. Treasury may be secretly re-accumulating gold at 90-year-low reserve levels. - How the West’s debt spiral and the AI-era infrastructure boom could ignite a hard-asset supercycle. - Why “value investing” isn’t dead — it’s just been starved of real collateral. - The coming rotation from ideas to tangibles: mining, oil, and energy as the new tech. - How automation and AI will rewrite the cost curve of mining — and who actually wins when the robots arrive. 00:00 Intro — The return of Denis 02:00 Gold’s 90-year-low reserves and central-bank accumulation 09:03 How retail panic is misreading the signal 21:51 Oil as the ignored hedge 34:17 The illusion of institutional capital 49:32 The AI-to-mining capital rotation 56:51 The coming automation boom in resource extraction 1:12:43 Tavi’s rule for conviction investing -------------------------------------- Disclosure: The opinions and information shared by Tavi in this discussion are his own, and not necessarily those of Crescat.

    #79 - Digging for Dollars #11 David D’Onofrio | Why Canadian Developers Are Still Cheap

    This week on Digging for Dollars, Cejay Kim and Mat Wilson talk M&A, comps, and the state of Canadian gold after Iamgold’s $375 million takeout of Northern Superior. They break down ounce valuations from Quebec to the Yukon and why, even with $4,200 gold, developers are still trading at decade-old multiples. Then they’re joined by David D’Onofrio, CEO of White Gold and long-time Power One executive. He walks through what’s happening in the Yukon, why the region’s geology and major partnerships (Agnico Eagle and Newmont) make it one of the last great gold frontiers, and how patience and capital discipline built a 3-million-ounce platform. The team closes with Dig This Deal, trading picks from Freeman Gold to Big Ridge Resources and Sirios Resources — and one surprise Newfoundland developer that gets a full table dig.

    This week on Digging for Dollars, Cejay Kim and Mat Wilson dig into make-or-break holes across the junior mining space — from a 262 m of 1% Cu Eq to new gold discoveries and market reactions that separate explorers from tourists. Then they bring on Jim Paterson, co-founder of Discovery Group, for a master-class in exploration, capital, and long-game strategy. Jim walks through Prospector Metals’ breakout drill hit, the Aquitaine gold story in France with Chris Taylor, and what it really takes to build value when markets swing. They wrap with Dig This Deal, where everyone throws a name on the table — from the TSX Venture’s comeback to copper and Saudi frontier plays — and decide if they dig it or ditch it.
