Craig Hemke, Founder and Editor of TF Metals Report, joins me for a candid conversation around the impacts of geopolitics, macroeconomics, Fed policy, a technical outlook on gold and silver prices, and the ongoing disconnect in the valuation of the precious metals stocks, considering the record margins and revenues they experienced in Q1, which just wrapped up last week.

Key Discussion Points:

• Geopolitics can swamp the charts and macroeconomics in the short-term: The upcoming deadlines that the US has imposed on Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday evening, could either end in a deal or more bombing and fighting. Either scenario could see such a large market reaction. This makes it nearly impossible to forecast what may play out in the short-term.
• Central Bank policy response tools are limited: If inflation starts moving higher on the back of higher oil, fertilizer, chemical, and manufacturing inputs, then the Fed’s ability to cut rates will be more muted. However, if the global economy slows from a ‘demand shock’ then central banks will err on the side of running the economy hot, cutting rates, and easier monetary policy.
• Interest Rates and the US Dollar response need to be monitored closely: Craig points out from a larger macro perspective that market has it wrong regarding future rate hikes, citing the unsustainable cost of refinancing the growing sovereign debt levels if rates go to high. He’ll be watching both the short and long end of the interest rate curve, as well as the US dollar response.
• The Disconnect in Mining Equities: Much media speculation has been made about margin compression facing producers as energy costs, but that is painting all mining companies with the same broad brush without any legitimate analysis for how much their margins may be affected.
  • The PM prices in the first quarter were at record average quarterly prices, which will lead to records Q1 revenues and earnings, even as the stock corrections got overdone and oversold.
  • We’d have to see a massive selloff in metals during Q2 to get the average prices and margins down under just Q4 of 2025, much less that of Q3 2025. This means that Q2 will likely outperform the current expectations based on where PM stocks are priced today.

Frank Callaghan, President and CEO of Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. (CSE:GCC) (OTC:GCCFF), joins me for an exploration update on the first 28 drill holes completed, and the 29th hole ready to be drilled imminently. Stepout drill has been extending the mineralization and strike length beyond the Halo Zone, located at their flagship Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine, in the Cariboo Mining District of British Columbia. The immediate workstreams are to compile all this drilling data, in combination with some historic drill holes, into an upcoming Maiden Resource Estimate, targeted to come out later in the month of May.

We start off having Frank outline the broad bulk-tonnage style of mineralization coming back from the prior assays returned, when stepping out from the Halo Zone; and why these large disseminated gold systems can become some of the largest producing gold mines. This large project footprint and continuity of the broad intercepts of mineralization is what will allow the Company to put out the maiden resource estimate in about a month’s time.

On March 25, 2026 Golden Cariboo Resources announced that drill hole QGQ25-28 was completed on March 19, 2026 to a total length of 754.69 m (2,476 ft), ending in mineralization approximately 12 m (39.37 ft) from Osisko Development Corp.’s claim boundary. The end of drill hole QGQ25-28 is located approximately 283 m (928.48 ft) beyond the end of drill hole QGQ25-25, which also ended in mineralization.

Next we discuss how all 28 holes drilled to date have hit gold mineralization and how their geologists have really come to a good understanding of the mineralization and have vectored in on exploring for gold at the greenstone belt contact zone at their Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine. Much of the drilling has been testing the approximately 2-3km area between the Main Zone and Halo Zone and straddling Hixon Creek. One drill will be turning doing large step-outs and extending the strike length of the mineralized trend. There is a strong geophysical signature helping out with drill targeting, that also extends on to their neighbor’s land package at Osisko Development.

Next we got into the recent acquisition of the 13 cells of placer claims at the Halo zone; which when combined with past staking around their main property, has brought the new total land position up to around 95,000 hectacres (~235,000 acres) held by the Company, and now making it the third largest claim holder in the Cariboo Gold District.

We wrap up with potential rerating the company could get once their initial resource estimate is out and digested by the market. With regards capital on hand, they announced a modest raise in late March to get them to this key upcoming milestone, where they believe more institutional interest will be coming in to assist with funding the next phase of exploration and project derisking.

As geopolitical tensions in the Middle East persist, the global economy is grappling with more than just volatile oil prices. This week’s show brings together Peter Boockvar (CIO, OnePoint BFG Wealth Partners) and Marc Chandler (Managing Partner, Bannockburn Global Forex) to dissect the deeper structural shifts - from the "parabolic" move in gold and the cooling AI trade to the looming shadow of the un-stress-tested private credit market.

• Segment 1 & 2 - Peter Boockvar, Chief Investment Officer at OnePoint BFG Wealth Partners and editor of the Boock Report on Substack, analyzes the long-term economic consequences of the Middle East conflict. He discusses the persistence of inflation driven by elevated commodity and energy prices, the "stagflationary" risks of modest growth paired with high costs, and significant shifts in global markets, including the waning momentum of AI tech stocks and the increasing appeal of gold as a reserve asset.

Marco Roque, President and CEO of Cassiar Gold (TSX.V:GLDC – OTCQX:CGLCF), joins me for a comprehensive visual company overview and update on all the exploration and development work completed to date and that remains on tap for 2026; as they continue expanding the Cassiar Gold project, located in northern British Columbia.

We start off reviewing the jurisdiction and topography, large degree of sunk costs and infrastructure in place across larger Project; including an existing mill and tailings facilities, road access right onto the property, power access, and small camp in place.

Marco outlines all the historic exploration and development work completed over the last handful of yeas at Cassiar North. Marco breaks down the 2.3 million ounces of gold in all categories at the bulk tonnage resources in place at the main Taurus Deposit.

• He also highlighted the nearby areas along trend that have been receiving ground exploration and drilling at the Wings Canyon, Hopeful, Auroch, and Newcoast targets.
• In particular, the exploration team is animated by the potential at Newcoast area to be similar to Taurus in grade, scale, and potential depth; especially after the successful drilling here during the 2025 program. Newcoast is not yet included in the resources, and could be a key area for mineral expansion.
• Additionally, there are regional targets like Lucky and Snow Creek that have early indications that they may host similar Taurus-Style mineralization, alteration, and veining.

Today, on April 2nd, the Company announced it has initiated a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) for the property’s Taurus deposit, having selected Ausenco, a globally recognized engineering, consulting, and project delivery firm with a proven track record in all phases of project development. The Company is targeting the completion of the PEA in Q3 2026, and it will be based on the recently updated foundational resource at the bulk-tonnage Taurus deposit.

• The Taurus deposit comprises an Indicated Mineral Resource of 8.8 million tonnes at 1.43 grams per tonnes (g/t) gold for 410,000 ounces with an additional 63.2 million tonnes with 1.93 million ounce at 0.95 g/t gold Inferred.

Shifting down to Cassiar South, we review the number of past producing mines, and high-grade nature to the broader veins in the mineralization on this part of the Project.

• The company will be drilling here again in 2026, after taking a few year to focus on growing Cassiar North, and is doing internal scoping studies to consider fast-tracking the potential development into smaller-scale production in this higher metals price environment.
• They are also reviewing underground portals and mill refurbishment to assess what would be needed for an expedited move into production.
• None of the prior drilling or known historic resources at Cassiar South are included in the current Mineral Resource Estimate.

We wrap up getting into the experience of the management team and board of directors, the key stakeholders and analyst coverage, financial health of the company treasury to keep executing on the work programs in 2026, and their undervaluation on several metrics compared to peers, highlighting the potential for rerating.

If you have any questions for Marco on Cassiar Gold, then please email them to me at Shad@kereport.com.

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 catching up on how the war in the Middle East has spiked the oil price over the past month, allowing savvy energy companies to go out on the forward futures curve and hedge partial amounts of future production at much higher levels.

• We revisited the value proposition synergies from ongoing business combination of Devon Energy (NYSE: DVN) and Coterra Energy (NYSE: CTRA) which announced an all-stock merger back in February. The business combination will create a leading large-cap shale operator with a high-quality diversified asset base in the Delaware Basin, Permian Basin, Marcellus Shale, and Anadarko Basin. We discussed the additional natural gas assets that will give the pro-forma company better margins, and secondary value lever beyond the rising oil prices.

Next we shifted over to some of the valuations in the gold stocks in light of the large corrective moves we saw across the board during the month of March.

• Jordan breaks down that these big pullbacks have him looking anew at quality development companies, like Rupert Resources Ltd (TSX: RUP) (OTCQX: RUPRF) (FSE:R05), that have dropped precipitously in market cap and share price and are presenting a compelling accumulation environment.

• He also remains animated by the continued the growth on tap for royalty and streaming companies, highlighting Royal Gold, Inc. (NASDAQ: RGLD) as undervalued on a number of fundamental metrics compared to all their larger peers.
• Secondly, Jordan highlights that he is able to gain access to copper and other metals by way of investments in Altius Minerals Corporation (TSX: ALS) (OTCQX: ATUSF), Elemental Royalty Corporation (TSXV: ELE) (NASDAQ: ELE), and Orogen Royalties (TSX.V: OGN – OTCQX: OGNNF).
