Mining Stock Education

Pro Investor David Erfle sees a “totally different gold stock bull market” in 2025 when compared to his experience in the 2000s. He also analyzes Equinox Gold’s purchase of Calibre Mining. Other topics discussed are gold stock seasonality, Newmont’s Q4 earnings and what David looks for in growth-oriented producers. David Erfle is a self-taught mining sector investor. He stumbled upon the mining space in 2003 as he was looking to invest into a growing sector of the market. After researching the gains made from the 2001 bottom in the tiny gold and silver complex, he became fascinated with this niche market. So much so that in 2005 he decided to sell his home and invest the entire proceeds from the sale into junior mining companies. When his account had tripled by September, 2007, he decided to quit his job as the Telecommunications Equipment Buyer at UCLA and make investing in this sector his full-time job. David founded the Junior Miner Junky subscription-based newsletter in April, 2017 and writes a weekly column for precious metals news service Kitco.com, whose website attracts nearly a million visits every day. 0:00 Introduction 0:27 Equinox Gold buys Calibre Mining 4:22 Growth-oriented producers 7:34 Discovery Silver 9:58 Newmont’s Q4 earnings 12:25 Gold stock inflow catalyst 14:25 Gold stock seasonality 18:00 Fort Knox gold 20:52 Silver price 23:18 “Totally different bull market” 27:29 Need for 10+-baggers David’s website: https://juniorminerjunky.com/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Mining Stock Education (MSE) offers informational content based on available data but it does not constitute investment, tax, or legal advice.

“If you just appreciate what this sector does once momentum gets started. Look at any historic junior chart, once momentum starts it just feeds on itself. What is weird is that it has not really happened; not even gold to three thousand [dollars] has been able to do that. I also think it points to how irrational this sector is. And it is all about momentum,” says private investor Erik Wetterling in this MSE episode. Erik, furthermore, shares his current views on the junior mining sector and how he is managing his portfolio. 0:00 Introduction 0:55 Junior mining value opportunities 5:53 When will gold stocks respond? 14:18 Fort Knox gold audit 18:42 Speculation in non-gold metals 21:54 Separating signal from noise 27:06 PDAC expectations 31:44 Networking necessity 34:21 Stock picks 39:17 Why retail loses money Erik’s website: https://www.thehedgelesshorseman.com/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Mining Stock Education (MSE) offers informational content based on available data but it does not constitute investment, tax, or legal advice.

Kenorland Minerals CEO Zach Flood describes the proven gold discovery machine he and his team have developed over the past nine years, in this MSE episode. Zach explains how the company has demonstrated the ability to discover in a “best-in-class” capital efficient manner. Kenorland is a cash-generating and partner-funded exploration company, which provides significant and low-risk exploration upside for investors. Seasoned investors, such as Rick Rule, believe that Kenorland’s market cap is justified alone by the value of the 4% NSR the company holds on its Regnault gold deposit discovery in Quebec which Sumitomo Metal Mining now owns outright. Therefore, according to Rick, investors get for free all the upside of partner-funded exploration across Kenorland’s multiple projects. Rick Rule publicly endorsed Zach Flood and Kenorland Minerals at the 34:32 mark during his January 8th, 2025 Rule Investment Media livestream. Kenorland looks to identify gaps in exploration maturity within prospective districts based on large scale compilation and integration of geological, geochemical and geophysical data. Kenorland’s management team and advisors have extensive experience in project and target generation from continent-wide area selection to deposit scale exploration across the globe. Combining the team’s extensive exploration experience with an integrated approach places Kenorland in an optimal position to generate shareholder wealth through JV partnerships, generated royalties, equity positions and new discoveries. https://www.kenorlandminerals.com/ TSXV: KLD | OTCQX: KLDCF | FSE: 3WQ0 0:00 Intro 1:28 Business model 4:49 Frotet project 4% NSR royalty 6:49 Upside leverage KLD offers shareholders 8:23 Exploration strategy 10:55 GeoChem surveys generate targets 12:56 2025 $36M exploration budget 13:51 Best-in-class capital efficiency 16:47 Frotet project milestones 20:07 Share structure 21:51 South Uchi project 26:50 South Uchi KLD shareholder upside 28:27 KLD numerous projects 31:10 KLD in seven years Rick Rule’s endorsement of Zach Flood and Kenorland Minerals starts at 34:32 in this Jan 8th, 2025 Rule Investment Media Livestream: https://www.youtube.com/live/yyP9Zd2xzdo?t=2072s Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Sponsor Kenorland Minerals pays Mining Stock Education a United States dollar ten thousand per month coverage fee.
