This week I was joined by:
– Steve Penny, the Silver Chartist
– Collin Kettell, CEO of Nevada King
– Dr. Quinton Hennigh from Crescat Capital
What you need to know
- I am subscribed to Silver Chartist and I think it’s worth multiple times more than an avocado toast. If you decide to join this nine-dollar service through this link, I will receive a commission that equals 50% of the sales.
- Consumer prices rose 8.5% in March, highest since 1981. This moved the metals up, with gold closing the week 1.5% higher, Silver +3.5%, Uranium +0.5%.
- As long as gold stays above $1,780, we’re still in an uptrend and poised to move higher. Once we break through $2,089, the move to $2,500 should not be as hard, as per Silver Chartist.
- The gold & silver equities have been lagging the price in the underlying metals, which Steve sees as a buying opportunity, as he expects silver juniors to start outperforming again rather soon.
- We can expect the “junior” silver miners to outperform once the ratio between SILJ & GDX has broken to the upside, which according to Steve is just about to happen.
- The only metal that Steve sees as having potential to outperform silver is platinum, because of how historically undervalued it is. The risk is bigger, but the potential returns are bigger as well. Platinum is needed for the shift towards hydrogen as well, besides it being needed in ICE vehicles.
- There is no resistence on the uranium chart, before $73, according to Steve. He thinks it will happen in the next couple of quarters. At some point we’ll need to see consolidation in the uranium stocks, Steve told me.
- “Parabollic moves benefit the lowest number of retail participants”, Steve told me. He would prefer uranium not to have a short-term spike, as that would create a tough situation for the people who didn’t have a pre-determined exiting strategy. Having an exeting strategy is one of the main things Steve focusses on.
- The uranium equities have still not broken above their November highs, although the uranium spot price has. Steve expects the metal to grind sideways for the next few months, while the equities outperform it.
- A new survey of 4,000 people by Investopedia found that more millennials own cryptocurrencies than own stocks. (Some 38% own crypto, just ahead of the 37% who own stocks.) And 28% of millennials say they are planning to rely on their cryptocurrencies to support them in retirement. It’s no longer “early days” for crypto.
- Nevada King has been hiring grade-a metallurgists and geologists. Some people on CEO.ca made a good point that you don’t need an expensive team, unless you have expensive problems. Dr. Hennigh & Collin Kettel (NKG’s CEO) told me that there is nothing wrong with the project, and that Nevada King simply wants to do this properly, by indentifying the best targest to drill this summer. Nevada King is a paying customer of Resource Talks.
- Grade smearing is when a company finds high grade mineralisation in short intervals, but reports that as low grade, over long intervals. I don’t like companies that do that.
- St. James Gold Corp reported 89 meters of 0.5 g/t Au this past week. No comment from management so far. St. James Gold Corp is a paying customer of Resource Talks.
- The US wants to transition to all cars sold to be EVs, by 2030, but it doesn’t produce almost any of the metals needed domestically. America is not a resource poor country. But they don’t have the production capacity. Every year they are not exploring for, developing or producing metals, is a year in which finding, assaying, licensing, and putting a project into production takes more and more time and it costs more and more money. The longer this takes, the higher metals prices could go.
- Last week, I spoke to Bruce Counts from Lithoquest, who’s recently become a paying customer of Resource Talks. It was an interesting interview. You can watch it here.
