Jordan Rusche, Founder of Mining Stock Monkey, joins me for an in-depth and nuanced discussion on the recent volatility in oil prices, gold and silver prices, and his approach to valuing precious metals mining stocks and royalty companies; along with which companies he is actively trading in his portfolio.

We start out reviewing how the geopolitical tensions with the US and Iran have spiked the oil price over the past week, but that he is valuing companies on their fundamental alpha, regardless of the short-term noise in the market from news.

• We dissected the value proposition synergies from the news announced February 2nd about Devon Energy (NYSE: DVN) and Coterra Energy (NYSE: CTRA) announcing a merger in an all-stock transaction. The business combination will create a leading large-cap shale operator with a high-quality asset base anchored by a premier position in the economic core of the Delaware Basin.

Next we shifted over to some of the valuations in the gold producers in his portfolio.

• Jordan breaks down why he likes larger producers with growth on tap, highlighting the fundamental growth factors for Endeavour Mining plc (TSX:EDV) (OTCQX:EDVMF) (LSE:EDV) and strong full-year 2025 production of 1,209,000 ounces of gold at an AISC of ~1,435/oz; with a H2-2025 dividend of $200m, and >$1bn shareholder returns program.
• We also followed up on our discussion from earlier this month where he was spot on about some of the operational risks he had cautioned investors about with regards to  B2Gold Corp. (TSX: BTO) (NYSE AMERICAN: BTG), that came out of Q4 earnings, and more importantly, FY guidance for 2026.  

We spend the balance of the discussing diving into why he sees the growth and value proposition as compelling in a couple royalty companies:

• First, Jordan outlines the growth on tap for Royal Gold, Inc. (NASDAQ: RGLD)over the next couple of years, especially when it comes to some of the long-life assets that came into the company through the acquisition of Sandstorm Gold last year that aren’t properly reflected yet due to limitations in using a DCF valuation.
• Second, Jordan highlights that positioning in Altius Minerals Corporation (TSX: ALS) (OTCQX: ATUSF) allows him to have access to Potash, Lithium, Copper, and Renewable Energy sectors; all through the diversification and reduced risk of a solid royalty company.
