In the first segment of this week's long-form episode, Trevor and Rob Sinn discuss the recent Federal Reserve rate cuts and their implications for the economy, including potential recession indicators and market reactions. They explore the evolving landscape of the junior mining sector, insights from the Beaver Creek Conference, and the future prospects for gold and silver investments. The discussion highlights the disparities in the economy and the opportunities for exploration in the mining industry.

In the second segment, Aurion Resource's Dave Lotan sheds some light into the non-deal which transpired earlier this year amongst the JV partners and Rupert Resources. He also shares some analysis as to where the mining sector is it in terms of mergers and acquisitions coming down the pipeline.

Arizona Sonoran Copper Company (ASCU:TSX) is focused on developing its brownfield copper project on private land in Arizona. The Cactus Mine Project is located less than an hour's drive from the Phoenix International airport. Grid power and the Union Pacific Rail line situated at the base of the Cactus Project main road. With permitted water access, a streamlined permitting framework and infrastructure already in place, ASCU's Cactus Mine Project is a lower risk copper development project in the infrastructure-rich heartland of Arizona.For more information, please visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.arizonasonoran.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Andrew Chubb of Awale Resources joined us to wrap up the Beaver Creek Precious Metals Summit. He reminisces of the market making discovery holes drilled earlier in the year and calls the time "exciting" and "stressful". He also shares some insights into the latest drill results at BBM and what the campaign has in store for this year.

Heliostar announced it has begun a 2 phased 5000m drill program at the Ana Paula Project in Mexico. CEO Charles Funk discusses the drill program aiming at resource expansion of the known high-grade panel, including big step-outs on the project.

Graham Harris, Chairman and Director of Surge Battery Metals, discusses the company's lithium exploration project in Nevada. The Nevada North Project has shown extremely high-grade lithium results, making it stand out among other clay stone lithium projects. Surge Battery Metals has been actively drilling and expanding the resource, with the goal of delivering a main resource to the market and working on a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). Despite the current downturn in the lithium market, Harris remains optimistic about the long-term demand for lithium in the electric vehicle industry. He emphasizes the advantages of Surge Battery Metals' project, including its high-grade lithium content and its location in Nevada, which is pushing for domestic lithium production.

Luke Alexander walks listeners through the updated mineral resource from the Enchi Gold Project. The company announced 743,500 Indicated and 972,000 Inferred gold ounces in this updated, which was a suprise to the company interms of improved conversions from the previous resource. 

Cartier Resources drill results recently returned 4.0 g/t Au over 6.8 m including 24.8 g/t Au over 0.5 m; all of which is included within a 13.5 m interval grading 2.6 g/t Au from the East Chimo Mine Sector. As the company continues to prep the PEA for the property, the company continues to test and hopefully replicate the West side of the property as they have done in the East. 

Aldebaran Resources CEO, John Black, talks about the latest drill data from the Altar copper-gold project in San Juan Province, Argentina. The results, published last week, represent a larger and deeper mineralized structure. We talk about the fresh look at the project, whats next for Altar, and how San Juan Province of Argentina is quickly becoming a hot bed of exploration activity. 

Charles Funk talks about the upsized financing for the acquisition of the Ana Paula project in Mexico. The deal is expected to close within days. 

Paul West-Sells of Western Copper and Gold shares some thoughts through his recent travels. Lately, we've seen some new faces and companies attend minig conferences, including OEM and auto manufacturers. Paul talks about this young and unique relationship and how it might evolve as both sectors, mining & manufacturing, become more familiar with each other. 

Meridian Mining Chairman, Gilbert Clark, joined us following the release of the prelinary economic assessment for the the Cabaçal VMS project in Brazil. The technical report highlights a base case after-tax NPV5 of $573M (CAD1 $778M) and 58.4% IRR using $1,650/oz gold, $3.59/lb copper, and $21.35/oz silver.

Brandon Macdonald of Fireweed Metals joined me at PDAC for a corporate update following the releae of the final holes at of the MacPass zinc-lead-silver project in Yukon. Headline hole was 40.6 m at 15.2% zinc, 14.6% lead, and 181.6 g/t silver, including 20.9 m of 20.7% zinc, 22.4% lead, and 280.0 g/t silver out of Tom yesterday. So we discuss the entire drill program from last year and how it shapes the 2023 campaign. 

In this week's long-form episode of MSD, Trevor connects with Julian Brigden of MI2 Partners. Julian and Trevor discuss the unknowns investors are currently seeing through the economic data and the Federal Reserve's inconsistent messaging regarding interest rate moves. There is a bull case for equities and a bear case for equities, but what about the bond market? Is short term bonds overly crowded right now? 

Julian and Trevor then take a turn and discuss the use of financial repression, quantitative easing and politics to spur a future capex boom, which will benefit resource development and its investors.

District Metals has released new drill results from the Tomtebo property in Sweden. The Steffenberg zone, part of the historic Tomtebo mine, has shown promising results with high-grade zinc and copper mineralization. The company has also discovered significant gold values in the area. District Metals has a positive collaboration with Boliden, which provides expertise and access to databases and downhole electromagnetic systems. The company is also planning drilling at the Stollberg project.

We have a three-part episode today to end the week. First, Dave Kranzler of Investment Research Dynamics and the Mining Stock Journal joins us to talk big picture of this week's market moves. The markets appear to be far ahead of the Fed's more hawkish dynamics of its policy this week. Hot money and call options perked their heads around once again while hotter than expected CPI and PPI numbers appeared to be of concern. Dave also provides some thoughts on what this "unknown land" means for precious metals and junior equities.

We then turn to Chad Peters of Ridgeline Minerals to talk expectations of exploration strategies in Nevada. Knowing the jurisdiction well, Chad knows that a positive strategy for a company is not always in line with expectations of speculators. 

Finally, Garrett Ainsworth of District Metals discusses uranium exploration and what resource speculators need to know about exploring for and developing uranium deposits. 

The original interview with Garrett Ainsworth was aired on "Gong Nuclear with Justin Huhn and Trevor Hall". That full episode can be found HERE.

This week we talk with Brent Johnson of Santiago Capital for the MSD long-form. Brent is well-known for his Dollar Milkshake Theory which, simply put, describes why the dollar and gold will rise into a sovereign debt crisis. His theory is well know throughout the finance community. So Brent and Trevor talk about some early career moments and how to started crafting this theory. Why does he feel the dollar will remain the strongest currency when so many people are calling for its demise? And how could gold follow its path? We chat about these ideas and what it means for the entire commodity complex and if we are already starting to see this theory play out today.
