Coal Demand Hits Record in 2023 Despite Price Falling

  • Global Coal Demand Hits Record as Renewables Not Ready
  • Europe’s Conundrum as it Continues to Import Coal
  • The World’s Top 5 Coal Consumers

Global coal demand reached record levels in 2023 despite governments pushing for cleaner, more sustainable energy policies. As virtue signaling and hopes for the future meet today’s reality, governments must balance policy with actual necessity. Without cheap energy, history proves that economies will struggle to grow.

Aaron lives in Calgary, Alberta and was recently threatened by the grid shutting down as an Arctic front moved in. Renewables were responsible for less than 1% of energy generation during this period of about a week, proving unreliable in a near winter crisis. About 5-6 years ago, Alberta began decommissioning its coal plants…

Europe and the United States are shutting down coal plants to reduce their reliance on the worst form of energy from the standpoint of greenhouse gas emissions. Meanwhile, countries like China and ….

the world needs more uranium to fuel its power reactors

Uranium Demand Soars as Countries Build Reactors

  • The world is waking up to the fact uranium is hard to find, secure and produce as the price continues to trade near 15-year highs
  • There are currently 60 nuclear reactors under construction across the globe
  • As always, junior miners are rushing in, hoping to make a uranium discovery and capitalize on the boom

Throughout the world, few countries are as dependent on uranium as France. Nuclear energy accounts for about 62% of its total electricity generation. So, as uranium prices trade near $100, the highest level since 2007, France is uniquely suffering under the weight of soaring uranium prices.

France has a whopping 56 operational nuclear power reactors – making it one of the world’s largest users of nuclear power.

Many large economies, from Sweden at 29% to South Korea at 30%, depend on foreign uranium for their nuclear power plants for electricity generation.

France has historically been dependent on three nations for its uranium. ….

2 Reasons Gold’s Rally Won’t Fade

  • Gold’s Stealth Rally Takes Flight
  • Aaron Argues for Gold’s Importance in 2024
  • Alex Visits a Global Mining Hub in Northern Quebec

Gold’s stealth rally to new all-time highs is finally getting some press. Easter Monday saw gold rip to another fresh high of around $2,265 per ounce. And the rally isn’t over; gold was flirting with $2,300 by Wednesday. However, gold mining companies continue to lag the metal’s performance, still down significantly from their highs of spring 2023. According to several industry pundits, the memetic power of gold (and its investment allure), has changed with the advent of Bitcoin and its relatively rapid price ascent.

Gold’s Importance is Stronger than Ever

Aaron believes that after thousands of years of use, gold’s importance in our lives, economy, and technology has only grown… Civilizations have found value in gold for millennia, and today, it is most widely used in jewelry, as an investment, and in electronics, ….

U.S. Debt Goes Parabolic, Gold and Bitcoin Soar

  • U.S. Debt Goes Parabolic, Adding $1 Trillion Every 100 Days
  • Gold and Bitcoin Soar as Investors Flee Dollar
  • Copper Rips Higher Amidst Renewable Energy Revolution

The United States’ national debt is skyrocketing, currently growing by about $1 trillion every 100 days. Gold and Bitcoin are breaking out, trading near record highs, as market participants race to protect themselves against the ongoing currency debasement. And, as the renewable energy revolution rolls on, copper demand is soaring as its price diverges with iron ore.

U.S. National Debt Goes Parabolic

The propensity of Washington to spend is reaching levels no one, even the most jaded libertarian, could have imagined. In the U.S. national debt spiraling out of control, rising $1 trillion every 100 days, a Washington Times staffer writes,

Investors buy gold and silver as risks rise

Risk of Civil War, Soaring Gold and Silver Prices

  • Gold and Silver Breakout Amidst Buying Surge
  • Something BIG is Missing from the CPI Inflation Rate Calculation
  • The Vast Riches of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt

Gold and silver prices rose to new highs on Monday after gold closed at an all-time high the previous Friday. As investors and the public wake up to the stickiness of inflation, protecting one’s purchasing power is moving to the forefront. Precious metals outperform when war, uncertainty, and inflation drive the macro narrative. Finally, one historic Canadian gold camp may be poised to reap the benefit of higher gold prices in these volatile economic times…

Rick Rule on the Broken CPI Inflation Rate

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) calculates the CPI as a weighted average of prices in the economy. However, what is included in the basket has changed over the years. Policymakers and politicians removed food ….

In the latest pod, Aaron sits down with legendary mining investor Rick Rule. Rick goes into the details of his first two major mining stock wins in Vancouver’s junior mining market

From pouring drinks for the biggest mining players in town, to finding 15-baggers and more, Rick shares his personal story of making a fortune as a young man betting on speculative mining stocks.

The 1970s Were Good for Natural Resources and Mining Stocks

Rick explains that in the inflationary decade of the 1970s, he found it easy to make money with mining stocks. Too easy, in fact. As the gold price continued higher throughout the 70s, the street, as they say, was lured into gold and gold stocks, and a ‘melt-up’ took place. This made Rick ….

peak gold arrives

‘Peak Gold’ Arrives

  • Peak Gold May Already Be Here
  • Silver Bullion Tops List of Investments
  • Explorers are Returning to Famous Gold Camps

For years, we’ve spoken and written about the potential for ‘Peak Gold‘. Now, in 2024, we may have already hit this critical barrier/era for the precious metal…

According to gold.org, global gold production over the last decade has been relatively flat. Considering the falling average grade of gold mines globally, and the lack of exploration investment over the past decade, total gold production should continue to stagnate.

The World Gold Council explained in early 2023 that:

“Annual mine production increased 1% year over year although remains below the record high seen in 2018.”

Despite record central bank buying in 2022 and almost again in 2023, jewelry still dominates global gold consumption, accounting for 46% in 2023. Gold bars, coins, and ETFs account for about $3 trillion, representing roughly 1% of the $266 trillion financial assets invested globally. If ….

No Rate Cuts Coming as Inflation Crushes

  • Newmont Leads Gold Stocks Higher
  • America’s National Debt Continues Surge
  • Dr. Kirk Elliott’s Thoughts on the Fed’s Next Move

With inflation stickier than most initially predicted, gold and gold stocks have benefited tremendously. What’s more, the Fed refuses to raise rates despite rising shelter costs, strong consumer demand and higher food prices. According to data from April 30th, the Case-Shiller national home price index hit a fresh all-time high in February.

Last week, Newmont topped all forecasts, reporting robust earnings that sent the stock up nearly 13% on April 25th. Newmont is the world’s largest gold producer and its strong fiscal performance could be a bellwether of things to come for the majors…

Tom Palmer, Newmont’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated,

“Newmont delivered a strong first quarter operational performance, producing 2.2 million gold equivalent ounces and generating over $1.4 billion in cash from operations before working capital changes.”

These results lifted almost all miners as ….
