Episode notes
Be Cautious With Silver Volatility
- Expect silver moves to be driven largely by retail and remain more volatile than gold.
- Use silver exposure selectively and focus on margins, not narrative alone.
Price Validation Triggers M&A
- Higher metal prices prompt more M&A because companies finally see terrain as worth buying.
- Many firms only act once price moves validate lasting value and share prices improve.
What Majors Look For In Acquisitions
- In M&A target selection prioritize jurisdiction, simple metallurgy, synergies, and exploration upside.
- Favor large land packages because additional targets add unpriced value to a deal.
