How Luca Mining Turned $50M Debt into a $400M Powerhouse
Javier Reyes, Executive Chairman of Luca Mining, delivers a powerful update at the 2025 Rule Symposium in Boca Raton. He outlines Luca's transformation from a debt-laden $50M company to a $400M+ market cap producer with $20M in cash and minimal low-cost debt. The company now operates two fully producing mines in Mexico: Campo Morado (polymetallic) and Tahuehueto (gold-focused). Reyes emphasizes the value of local expertise and cultural understanding in managing complex operations. With over 2.4 million gold-equivalent ounces in reserves and under 10% of land explored, Luca is expanding production and exploration, targeting over 100,000 ounces annually. The team combines top Mexican professionals with North American standards to ensure safety, reliability, and long-term success. With more than 50% insider ownership and a strong institutional interest building, Luca is focused on tactical growth, M&A, and cash flow reinvestment. Supported by tight share structure and growing liquidity, the company is positioning itself as a leading mid-tier player in Latin America's mining sector. Connect with Javier Reyes!

Gold Is Replacing Treasuries and Nobody's Talking About It! ~ Andy Schectman Exposes Truth
Andy Schectman, CEO of Miles Franklin, shares urgent macroeconomic insights from the 2025 Rule Symposium in Boca Raton, warning of a global shift away from U.S. treasuries and toward commodities and blockchain-based financial systems. As central banks rapidly increase gold holdings, Schectman highlights how the U.S. has quietly become a net importer of gold for the first time in decades. He details the expansion of BRICS+ settlement systems and China's Shanghai Metals Exchange as key signals of a transition to a new global monetary framework. Schectman points to discussions around gold-backed treasuries, with insiders speculating that a 50-year gold-pegged U.S. bond could be issued by 2026 under a new administration. With gold now recognized as a Tier One asset, Schectman emphasizes the growing divide between retail investors and global institutions. While retail money flows into equities, central banks and sovereign wealth funds are draining physical gold from Western vaults. Schectman calls this a once-in-a-generation monetary reset already in motion. Connect with Andy Schectman! LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andy-schectman-0895854 π₯ Key Topics Discussed β

Matt Warder of Sea Wolf Research joins Steve Barton to deliver a sharp update on the coal market's evolving macro landscape.

Warder notes how Chinese steel production and potential capacity cuts are critical catalysts that could drive prices further, especially as restocking season approaches. Key companies discussed include Warrior Met Coal (HCC), Core Natural Resources (CNR), Alliance Resource Partners (ARLP), and Ramaco Resources (METC). Warder also shares his current positioning and views on equity performance, short interest, and risk strategies in the sector.
