    Eric Yeung - China's Gold Strategy: The Financial Shift Few Are Watching

    Today’s podcast guest is Eric Yeung. Geopolitical and economic effects on Precious Metals and commodities. Not financial advice. Opinions are my own. 3 things we discuss: 1. Physical metals as collateral. Eric discusses how developments at the London Metal Exchange could allow metals to support financing and liquidity, and why he believes gold and silver could eventually follow. 2. Hong Kong, China and the Renminbi. His central argument is that collateralising physical gold could help China expand the international use of its currency, with Hong Kong playing an important role. 3. A new monetary role for gold and silver. Eric argues that precious metals could become more valuable to institutions if they can be used to obtain liquidity without being sold. He also gives medium-to-long-term price scenarios of $7,000–$8,000 gold and $120–$200 silver, while warning about near-term weakness.

    Ben Kelleran - AI CapEx Bubble Risks, Gold Hedges & Western Societal Breakdown

    Today’s podcast guest is Ben Kelleran, Investor, speculator, and occasional degenerate gambler in the markets. CPA and recovering Big 4 auditor. AUDIO IS AVAILABLE HERE Please LIKE, SHARE AND SUBSCRIBE TO THE CONTRARIAN CAPITALIST NB - Recorded on 20th October 2026 PM U.S. Time 10 Key Points from this conversation: * AI CapEx cycle exceeds past infrastructure booms and relies on opaque, illiquid funding that risks a sharp dry-up. * Circular financing (e.g., Nvidia-CoreWeave ties) and growth-at-all-costs incentives create a potential financial train wreck. * AI tools are genuinely useful but heavily subsidized; true unsubsidized prices would be far higher. * Gold, silver and commodities are likely higher over 10 years as inflation hedges; AI persists after a major washout. * Real inflation runs 7–15%; fiat debasement favors physical metals over current bond yields. * Expect yield-curve control and experimentation before bonds become attractive at much higher rates. * Western governments appear at odds with native populations via mass immigration patterns. * France (and similar) unrest stems from non-assimilating inflows prioritizing handouts over host interests. * US midterms risk low Republican turnout if Trump-era promises go unmet; focus shifts to local politics. * Prioritize local impact, side businesses and mental breaks from social media over federal-level fixes.

    Ted J Butler - Latin America’s Pro-Mining Political Wave & Silver’s Next Demand Drivers

    Ted J Butler is a Senior Analyst at Silver Advisor, co-founder of the Sound Money Report and also chairman at the Swiss Mining Institute. AUDIO IS AVAILABLE HERE Please LIKE, SHARE AND SUBSCRIBE TO THE CONTRARIAN CAPITALIST NB - Recorded on Friday 16th October PM Eastern Time. Take control of your financial future with The Contrarian Capitalist. Paid members get commodity and market insights, exclusive macro videos, early interviews, and the tools to build, protect, and grow wealth in uncertain times. Starting at just $9.17 per month (less than a couple of coffees), it’s exceptional value to protect your wealth, defend your freedom and outsmart the system. Thank you for being part of The Contrarian Capitalist community! 5 Key Takeaways: * A clear rightward political shift across Latin America (Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, and likely Brazil) is creating a strongly pro-mining, pro-business environment that attracts foreign investment and supports commodity growth. * Ted’s new role as Chairman of the Swiss Mining Institute positions him at the intersection of this political change and the ongoing commodity supercycle, with a major Panama conference set for April 2027. * Solar demand for silver is falling (projected drop of ~40 million ounces), but this is being offset by rising industrial uses in data centres, drones, humanoid robots, EVs, and related electronics. * Silver’s unmatched electrical and thermal conductivity gives it a durable “moat” in high-performance applications such as drone EMI shielding, making substitution difficult. * Higher energy costs are squeezing mining margins somewhat, yet the sector remains highly profitable; gold’s resilience is helping insulate silver amid rate and oil pressures.

    Norsemont Mining - High-Grade Gold & Path to Production in Chile

    Today’s episode features Norsemont Mining (CSE: NOM | OTC: NRRSF | FRA: LXZ1) CEO & Chairman Marc Levy. Norsemont Mining Inc. (CSE: NOM | OTC: NRRSF | FRA: LXZ1) owns the Choquelimpie Project - a past-producing gold-silver mine in northern Chile with a current NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate of 2,184,000 indicated gold equivalent ounces and 557,000 inferred gold equivalent ounces. Supported by established infrastructure and high-grade intercepts from surface, Choquelimpie presents a rare exploration and development opportunity in a proven jurisdiction. AUDIO IS AVAILABLE HERE Please LIKE, SHARE AND SUBSCRIBE TO THE CONTRARIAN CAPITALIST NB - Recorded on Monday 12th October 2026 AM Disclaimer: Paid advertisement on behalf of Norsemont Mining (OTC: NRRSF | CSE: NOM). The Contrarian Capitalist was compensated by Norsemont Mining for producing this interview. Robert Smallbone (The Contrarian Capitalist) holds no securities of Norsemont Mining at the time of this post. Nothing contained in this video/podcast constitutes investment advice. Please do your own due diligence. 10 Key Takeaways: * Chile’s recent shift to a right-leaning government is strongly positive for mining: the new president prioritises jobs, has announced tax cuts (27% → 23%), and is expected to speed up permitting and offer greater support. * Norsemont’s Choquelimpie project sits in Northern Chile with an existing 3,000 tpd plant that can be expanded to 4,500–5,000 tpd, plus duty-free/tax-free zone benefits that allow cheaper equipment imports and a 30% tax credit on infrastructure capex. * Strong local community and government support exists, including the Aymara indigenous community and regional authorities, with locals even protesting in favour of mining permits; the company already supplies water to a neighbouring mine and local farmers. * The project benefits from on-site water (four wells) at ~4,500 m elevation, avoiding the costly desalination pipelines that many other Chilean miners require. * Drilling is largely restricted to April–November because of intense Altiplano lightning storms (December–March); the camp and other work can continue year-round. * Recent Phase 3 drilling delivered strong results, including ~3.59 g/t Au over 41 m (with the final 18 m near 10 g/t) and consistently higher grades at depth; mineralisation now extends well below the previous ~70 m resource limit. * Higher-grade gold at depth, plus over-limit lead/zinc/silver values, support the thesis of a deeper copper porphyry system; the company has expanded its land package by ~30% both to protect mineralisation and to allow future plant expansion. * Key near-term milestones: final environmental study by end-December 2026, PEA and updated resource (expected to grow significantly) in Q1 2027, metallurgical results this quarter, and a path to first production at ~30–40 koz AuEq/year with total capex estimated at ~$50–51 million. * All-in sustaining costs are currently modelled around US$1,000–1,012/oz; at today’s ~US$4,000 gold price this generates substantial free cash flow that could self-fund a larger sulphide plant (targeting ~210 koz/year) with minimal further dilution. * The share register is tightly held; Roughly a dozen investors (including the CEO’s family, a large German family office, Larry Lepard, Crestcat, and others) control ~60% of the company and are focused on long-term production and multi-bagger returns.
