In this episode, Rick answers dozens of audience questions covering gold, copper, oil, lithium, uranium, royalty companies, junior miners, and portfolio construction while sharing the valuation framework he has developed over decades of investing. Together we discuss Seabridge Gold and the potential KSM transaction, Wheaton Precious Metals, Franco-Nevada, Triple Flag, OR Royalties, Schlumberger, Ivanhoe Mines, Sovereign Metals, ReconAfrica, Riverside Resources, Bravo Mining, Collective Mining, Magna Mining, Luca Mining, and many other companies that investors are closely watching. Throughout our conversation, I ask Rick to explain how he separates speculation from investing, why he focuses on three-to-five-year value instead of short-term price action, and why royalty companies remain among his favorite long-term holdings. We also explore his outlook for structural oil shortages beginning around 2029, the enormous future capital requirements for the copper industry, concerns surrounding direct lithium extraction, prospect generator investing, geopolitical risks, and the importance of disciplined portfolio management. Rick repeatedly emphasizes risk versus reward, patience, and buying quality assets at meaningful discounts while avoiding emotional investing and short-term market noise.   Key Insights In This Episode ✅ Seabridge Gold remains deeply undervalued. ✅ Wheaton offers strong long-term growth. ✅ Oil shortages could emerge by 2029. ✅ Diversify across prospect generators. ✅ Buy value, not market momentum. ✅ Patience beats short-term trading.   Tools for Success that I Love and find Helpful / Affiliates: Technical Analysis Series  Rule Symposium 2026 Rule Classroom (Free)  Rule Classroom Plus (2 Free Months)  TradingView (Free) Lobo's Weekly Recap (Free) Uranium Insider Newsletter   Chapters 00:00 Rule Classroom Opening Thoughts 1:20 Seabridge Gold And KSM Outlook 4:46 Near Term Mining Opportunities 6:01 Royalty Companies Comparison 7:38 NG Energy Colombia Discussion 9:24 BlackRock Silver Insider Filing 11:09 Wheaton Precious Metals Outlook 14:09 Oil Services And Schlumberger 15:19 Ivanhoe Mines And Sovereign Metals 20:09 Oceana Gold And Uranium Stocks 22:02 Abra Silver Leadership 23:24 ReconAfrica Update 25:10 Azimut And Exploration Stocks 27:03 China Physical Gold Market 28:24 Lithium And Surge Battery Metals 29:33 Royalty Valuation Framework 30:55 Sovereign Metals Ranking 32:05 China Energy Technology 35:28 Collective Mining Outlook 36:19 Riverside Resources 39:30 Bravo Mining 40:53 Lessons From Ned Goodman 43:12 Kincora Copper 44:04 Fortuna Mining 45:27 Kingfisher Metals 46:32 Magna Mining Financing 48:44 Coffee Deposit Update 49:34 Pelangio Gold 50:29 Luca Mining Outlook 52:22 Argentina Mine Tour 55:29 Battle Bank And Symposium 56:11 2027 Symposium Dates 57:43 Closing Remarks   DISCLAIMER: I am not a financial advisor.
