Mining Stock Education

Pro Investor David Erfle reveals how he is managing the recent junior mining volatility and sell-off. David reminds listeners that in small resource stocks risk management is number one. Although he is not predicting it, he even sees the possibility where gold might trade down to $2,800/oz. If gold closes a week below $4,200/oz that is a threshold that David expects would trigger more selling. This recent sell-off, he explains, also creates a nice possible entry point for new gold stock investors. Dave emphasizes that fundamentals remain bullish longer term, but risk management, taking profits, and accumulating in tranches are essential, especially for newer entrants.

David Erfle is a self-taught mining sector investor. He stumbled upon the mining space in 2003 as he was looking to invest into a growing sector of the market. After researching the gains made from the 2001 bottom in the tiny gold and silver complex, he became fascinated with this niche market. So much so that in 2005 he decided to sell his home and invest the entire proceeds from the sale into junior mining companies. When his account had tripled by September, 2007, he decided to quit his job as the Telecommunications Equipment Buyer at UCLA and make investing in this sector his full-time job. David founded the Junior Miner Junky subscription-based newsletter in April, 2017 and writes a weekly column for precious metals news service Kitco.com, whose website attracts nearly a million visits every day.

Tim Clark, CEO of Fury Gold Mines, provides an update on the advancements at the Eau Claire gold project in northern Quebec as well as an overall corporate update along with SVP Bryan Atkinson.

The key Eau Claire highlight was infill drill hole 26EC-099, which targeted an inferred portion of the Eau Claire resource and intercepted 11.74 g/t gold over 6.63 metres approximately 40m down plunge from previous drilling. A second hole, 26EC-101, which is a further 40m step down plunge outside of the existing resource envelope has just been completed and results are pending.

“Drilling at Eau Claire continues to reinforce resource continuity, confirming mineralization remains well-developed and predictable within the deposit,” stated Tim Clark. “Importantly, the program shows the potential to grow the deposit between resource blocks (the Gap Zone) in shallow previously untested areas, and we look forward to continued drilling to further de-risk and expand Eau Claire as we unlock additional value for shareholders.”

Tavi Costa, founder and CEO of Azuria Capital, reveals three contrarian macro trades for which, he says, “people will call me crazy.” He also discusses the recent gold sell-off, which Costa argues does not fit a typical liquidation event since equities and treasuries were not crashing; he suggests an alternative possibility that Iran or other gray-area actors may have sold gold accumulated via oil trade outside the dollar system. Costa says the pullback created an oversold buying opportunity and expects gold to be multiples higher over 5–10 years, driven by dollar devaluation tied to U.S. twin deficits, central-bank buying, stagnant mine supply, deglobalization, and portfolio reallocation toward gold. He also addresses multipolarity and petrodollar concerns, favoring gradual shifts rather than a near-term reserve-currency change. Costa describes rotating across commodities, taking profits in energy, buying gold and quality miners, and adding contrarian options positions.

Host Brian Leni interviews Amanda van Dyke, founder and managing director of the Critical Minerals Hub and author of The Mineral Imperative, about rising mineral demand, supply-chain complexity, and geopolitical risk. Van Dyke says global metals and minerals output has doubled over 25 years and must at least double again to maintain today’s economic level, while mining faces lower grades and a discovery drought. She warns shortages can trigger volatile outcomes, including trade and shooting wars, noting China invested about $1 trillion over 25 years to control roughly 60% of the global metals/minerals supply chain and 90% of some small critical metals. They discuss Strait of Hormuz disruption risk, U.S. defense stockpiles, government-backed price floors like the MP Materials rare earth deal, G7 coordination, and why EU anti-mining policies and permitting risk make it a poor investment jurisdiction after losing 40% of mining capacity.
