Some great insights here from my mate Alex. Central Banks and governments around the world have obfuscated and lied about their accumulation of gold over recent years. The truth as it comes out is shocking and suggests that they’ve been hiding their true attitude to their own fiat currencies and its derivatives. Clearly gold is what they really believe in and they have been accumulating at an extraordinary rate.

They’re starting to catch on! Got copper?! @VizslaCopper does!

When we reach the inevitable age of unlimited abundance in 10-15 years and SGI-robotics create anything we need, the thing that will have most value to society will be lore- spoken word, art, drama, music performed by humans for humans, free of SGI. And anyone with a creative bent will have the time to flex that muscle. That’s where we will see value and beauty. This astonishingly beautiful performance is an outstanding example of what can and will move us. Of course the bottle neck will be metal! (I can’t go a second without saying that 🤦🏻‍♂️😆).

I didn’t really start on X to promote anything much. My intent is really just to talk about our wonderful industry and the good it brings, but if you like copper and a cool story, hang in there… We’ve had some pretty spectacular hits at Vizsla Copper over the last few weeks: - 48.5 Meters of 3.32% Copper Within 266.0 Meters of 0.97% Copper at the Deerhorn Deposit, Woodjam Project, Central British Columbia - 49.2 Meters of 4.7% Copper Equivalent Including 27.0 Meters of 8.4% Copper Equivalent at its Palmer Project in Southeast Alaska I’ve got a champion team - Steve Blower, Keith Bodnarchuk, Pete Mercer, Chris Leslie (and many more) who’ve all made major discoveries in Cu, Au, Ag and U. So if there is any metal on any of our properties, we’re a good chance of finding it! Enthusiastically, I’ve been trying to build a copper business for 20 years now, and as Rick Rule @RealRickRule would say, my track record has been unblemished by success! That’s hopefully changing! Now we’ve got several great assets with lots of copper at scale and/or very high-grade. Not lacking in ambition 😆, we set ourselves the task of building a mid-tier North American copper developer in record time. There simply cannot be a better time in history for the emergence of a new US-focused mid-tier copper developer. The cupboard is pretty bare, and assets like these will be valued at higher multiples as the copper price continues its inexorable rise toward $40 per pound and the M&A cycle kicks off! Anyway, this is the mission, and we’re assiduously pushing towards it. You might get some amusement if ya follow along @vizslacopper Today is another huge step towards that goal. And if you like the story, don’t wait! Call your broker! We’ve got four rigs turning right now!

An entire investment sector is about to deliver a 10-bagger. Exploration and mining. AI and robotics are going to have bonkers impacts on the global economy. Clearly, the AI companies will be enormous winners. But as @elonmusk and @chamath have pointed out, someone still has to supply the copper, silver and other metals that make the whole thing possible. And having explored for and found a few deposits in my time, I can tell you: the supply side is incredibly constrained. You simply cannot bring new mines online quickly enough to respond to the metal demand that could be coming. That’s what makes this so exciting. Mining companies are still trading at historically depressed valuations by many measures, while some metal prices are already around record highs. When the broader market wakes up to what is happening, the rerating will be extraordinary. Some of the great companies and fortunes of the next decade will come from our sector. So strap yourself in and hold on tight. @robert_ivanhoe The legendary Robert Friedland’s “revenge of the miners” is upon us!

G’day! I got a lovely handwritten gift card from Michael, one of our five summer interns from UBC. Bright, gregarious and an absolute pleasure to have around the office. He thanked me and said his time with us had inspired him to join the exploration and mining industry. I was stoked! I messaged him back and said: “I’m pumped to hear that your passion for mining has been ignited! Mate, almost every other industry is going to be challenged by the AI and robotics revolution. The one industry that won’t and can only benefit from it is ours. We’re a primary industry. At least until AI gets its head around alchemy! I believe some of the greatest companies and fortunes built outside of AI over the next 20 years will come from our sector. It would be great to have you be part of it. Anyway, mate, we’ll get that coffee one day soon. Well done and a special big thanks for the trivia afternoon. It was a boost the office needed!!” Cheers, Craig
