“There has been a bit of a demographic shift. Guys my age are retiring, and they are not putting a lot of their money to risk as much anymore. Even the flow-through market here…there used to be a lot of doctors, dentists, lawyers that would typically put money in flow-through funds to get the tax advantage. The Canadian government has changed some of those rules and made it a lot harder. So, I think that is part of the disconnect [between the gold price and gold miners’ valuations],” says mining sector expert Brian Christie. Listen to this MSE interview for more insights from Mr. Christie. Brian Christie has vast mining sector experience. He began his career as a geologist and saw two mineral discoveries first-hand. Then he traveled the world as a journalist for The Northern Miner. Brian next served as a mining equity analyst for nearly two decades before leading the investor relations team at Agnico Eagle, a leading gold producer. Currently, Brian is on the board of directors for Wallbridge Mining and, since May 2023, is the chairman of Fury Gold Mines (MSE sponsor). 0:00 Introduction 1:30 BHP proposed takeover of Anglo American 2:52 Bullish copper 3:45 Look at smaller-scale copper producers 4:47 Can there be too much M&A? 5:57 Gold executive mistakes at cycle peaks 8:34 Exploration projects: own 100% or seek JV? 10:27 G Mining to buy Reunion Gold 11:25 Demographic shift impacting gold miner valuations 14:21 Must know geology to be successful retail investor? 15:50 Good geology will get rid of bad management? 16:44 “Balance promotion vs facts” 19:17 Naked shorting a problem in Canada? 20:57 Fury Gold upcoming newsflow Sponsor: https://furygoldmines.com/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Fury Gold Mines is a Mining Stock Education sponsor.
