    Rick Rule: The Easy Silver Trade Is Over. The Real Money Is in Stocks

    Rick Rule says his silver position “as a speculation, has run its course,” and he is now looking for opportunity in equities, discoveries, and consolidation. Speaking with Kitco News at PDAC 2026, the President and CEO of Rule Investment Media explained why he exited physical silver after a major move. “I bought silver some years ago because it was hated,” he said. “I was wrong. It quadrupled.” Rule said he redeployed about half of the proceeds into silver stocks, arguing that parts of the equity market still reflect more conservative pricing than the metal itself. He also said the industry is entering a new phase as older exploration spending begins to bear fruit. “We’re coming into a very, very, very exciting period throughout the value chain and mining,” he said, adding that when a real discovery is made, “it will be bought for eye-popping multiples.” Rule expects consolidation to build, and he challenged official inflation data, saying, “I think the conventional measures of inflation are lies.” Recorded March 02, 2026. 00:54 - Silver to Stocks 02:34 - Exploration Payoff Cycle 03:50 - M&A and Takeovers 06:50 - Royalties and Consolidation 09:33 - Institutions and Dumb Money 13:18 - Dividends vs Sustaining Capex 16:11 - Taking Control 18:41 - Silver Squeeze Reality 20:04 - COMEX Force Majeure 23:44 - Borrowing Against Bullion 25:16 - Rule Symposium Breakdown 29:53 - Uranium Copper Inevitables 31:37 - Copper Pretenders Warning Special thanks to our sponsors, GoldMining Inc., U.S. Gold Mining Inc., UEC & URC for making this coverage possible.

    Frank Giustra & Ian Harris: $6.00 Copper, $1.5B Buyout & The "Gun-Shy" Majors Paying The Price

    Copper has hit a record $6.04/lb, but the physical market is reaching a breaking point. On the opening day of PDAC 2026, Hudbay Minerals ignited the M&A cycle with a US$1.48 billion acquisition of Arizona Sonoran at a 30% premium - a move that confirms the "gun-shy" majors are officially losing their window to buy cheap metal. In this exclusive Copper Panel, Jeremy Szafron sits down with Frank Giustra (Fiore Group) and Ian Harris (CEO, Copper Giant Resources) to discuss a global "Black Swan" event: a bridge collapse that has severed the DRC’s main copper export corridor, effectively cutting off the world’s second-largest producer. With only four "billion-tonne" near-surface assets left undeveloped in the world, the guests break down why the current $6.00 price is just the baseline for a decade-long supply squeeze driven by the AI power crunch and the $1.4 trillion decay of the U.S. electrical grid. The 14¢ vs. 1¢ Valuation Gap The Hudbay deal valued Arizona Sonoran at roughly 15 cents per pound of copper in the ground. Meanwhile, Tier-1 assets like Copper Giant (TSXV: CGNT) are trading at just 1 cent per pound—a massive valuation gap that Frank Giustra calls a "no-brainer" for investors watching the majors scramble for replacement reserves.

    Gold Surges on Middle East Escalation. Pullback Risk Ahead? | James Thorne

    Rising tensions in the Middle East and a surge in oil prices sent gold briefly above $5,400, but Dr. James Thorne says investors should separate short-term shocks from long-term trends. Speaking with Kitco News at PDAC 2026, the Wellington-Altus Chief Market Strategist described the move as “a temporary spike if we're long-term investors,” adding that “in a bull market, you can have a 50% correction at any time and still have the secular bull market in place.” Thorne believes gold remains in a structural repricing cycle and reiterated, “By the end of the decade, I'm saying gold's gonna be 10,000.” However, he cautioned that the safety trade may be crowded and advised investors to rebalance rather than chase momentum. Thorne also outlined what he views as an eventual “Bretton Woods 2.0,” arguing the global system is moving toward a new monetary framework that could incorporate both hard assets and digital infrastructure.

    “We’re Consuming More Than We Produce” Silver Warning | Randy Smallwood

    Gold testing $5,400 is not a temporary surge; it reflects what Wheaton Precious Metals CEO Randy Smallwood describes as a structural shift in markets. Speaking with Kitco News at PDAC 2026, amid escalating Middle East tensions and a sharp move higher in oil, Smallwood said precious metals are entering a new phase driven by fiscal imbalances, currency concerns, and renewed demand for hard assets. “I do think 5,000 is a new base for gold,” Smallwood said. “Gold is a currency. It's been a currency forever.” He argued that the long-held view of the US dollar as the primary reference currency is being reassessed as deficits widen and geopolitical risk intensifies. Smallwood also pointed to silver’s multi-year supply imbalance, noting, “We're consuming more of it than what we're producing,” after peak silver production in 2017 and 2018. His comments come after Wheaton closed a $4.3 billion transaction last week to double its silver exposure at Antamina, positioning the streaming company for what he sees as a sustained monetary and industrial shift.

    Banks Are Squeezing The Physical Gold Supply: Daniel Oliver Explains Phase Two Volatility

    Kitco News Anchor Jeremy Szafron sits down with Daniel Oliver, founder of Myrmikan Capital, to analyze the shifting mechanics of the global gold market and the approaching private credit cycle. Oliver argues that the smooth accumulation phase of the gold bull market is officially over. He details how the market is now entering a volatile second phase driven by stress spreading throughout the U.S. credit system. During the interview, Oliver outlines the specific pressures facing the Federal Reserve. He highlights a $10 trillion maturity wall and explains the mathematical impossibility of the central bank shrinking its balance sheet while simultaneously attempting to lower interest rates. He further explains how the private equity industry's massive leverage is setting a trap for policymakers, noting that printing money cannot solve underlying insolvency in sectors like commercial real estate. The conversation also uncovers a hidden squeeze in the physical market. Oliver reveals how nervous banks are tightening margin requirements on smelters. This action forces these entities to shrink their processing pipelines, which directly restricts the physical gold supply entering the broader market and exacerbates price volatility. Finally, Oliver unpacks the historical relationship between central bank balance sheets and gold reserves. By applying 19th-century banking standards to the modern financial system, he lays out the exact math that points to significantly higher gold valuations. "Gold has to go to a price that rebalances the Fed's balance sheet, and $8,000 currently gets you to about a third, $12,000 gets you around a half," states Oliver.

    CME Halts and Silver Volatility: Peter Schiff on the Shift to Physical Demand

    Silver speculation reached a fever pitch this week following a 90-minute CME halt that hit right as prices surged passed $90. While the exchange cited technical issues, the timing - occurring just ahead of the first notice day for March Silver - has sparked intense debate over market liquidity and delivery mechanics. Peter Schiff, CEO and Chief Global Strategist of Euro Pacific Asset Management, joins Jeremy Szafron to cut through the noise. Schiff questions whether the "technical issue" was a "coincidence" or a move meant to diffuse a deeper problem, suggesting the official explanation is "better than telling the truth". In this wide-ranging interview, Schiff breaks down the "math problem" facing Washington as the administration pledges to protect Social Security while proposing to replace income taxes with tariffs. He warns that failing to cut entitlements will lead to inflation that "reduces the value of those entitlements" regardless of the pledge. Schiff also explores the "killer use case" for gold: bypassing the legacy banking system. He explains how tokenized gold and India’s massive regulatory shift - allowing 35% flexibility for equity funds to allocate into metals - are fundamentally changing price discovery and removing counterparty risk.

In this deep dive, Jeremy Szafron, Senior Anchor at Kitco News, sits down with Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman of U.S. Global Investors and HIVE Digital, to map out the capital rotation into hard physical assets and the industrialization of the AI revolution. Holmes reveals why Bitcoin miners are now the "cheapest available data center capacity" for AI and how China’s $1.3 trillion "One Belt, One Road" initiative has become a geopolitical Trojan Horse.

    The Banks Have ‘Lost Control’: $300 Silver, India’s Bid & the End of Western Pricing - Eric Sprott

    In this Kitco News exclusive, Senior Anchor Jeremy Szafron sits down with billionaire investor and Sprott Inc. founder Eric Sprott to break down the unprecedented breakout in the precious metals market. With gold establishing a new normal above $5,227 and silver surging past $92 an ounce, Sprott details why the physical short squeeze is unfolding in real time. We dive deep into the recent CME Globex technical interruption, the drain on Western physical inventories, and why Eastern markets are now fully dictating global price discovery. Sprott also reveals the strategy behind his aggressive capital deployment, including his massive low 40 percent ownership stake in Hycroft Mining, and his recent multimillion dollar sweeps across the junior mining sector with names like Rio Silver and Highlander Silver. From systemic risks mirroring 2008 to quantitative funds fleeing US equities for hard assets, this interview provides critical insights into the resource sector's historic rotation.
