Is your gold & silver portfolio structured properly? Greg Orrell of the OCM Gold Fund, one of the very few long-standing gold fund managers, walked me through how he would structure a precious metals portfolio today, and what type of companies he's looking into. Investing in precious metals means more than just buying physical gold or silver. A diversified approach that balances various types of investments can offer broader exposure, reducing risk while maximizing potential upside. Here’s a breakdown of the most common options: 1. Producers – Companies already mining and generating revenue are the bedrock. They offer cash flow, stability, and generally less risk (although they're not risk-less, of course). 2. Developers – Companies nearing production can add significant value if they reach operational status. These mid-stage assets bring higher risk than producers but can deliver strong returns as they move closer to production. 3. Explorers – Pure risk, pure upside. These are the wild cards that can 10x or become write-offs. But adding a few quality exploration companies can bring serious torque to the portfolio. Think about then size of the prize, the cost of the test, and the chances of success. 4. Royalties & Streaming – The "collect rent, not risks" approach. Royalties offer a way to gain exposure to precious metals without direct mining risk, generating revenue from various projects and often paying dividends. 5. Picks & Shovel Plays – These are the suppliers that support the industry, like equipment manufacturers and tech companies serving miners. Less dependent on metal prices, they benefit from industry activity—whether it’s a bull or bear market. 6. Physical Metals – The ultimate hedge and store of value. Holding physical metals, whether coins or bullion, adds tangible security to your portfolio and protects against systemic risk. Plus, it’s hard to argue with something you can hold in your hand. 7. What else? What am I missing? What should definitely be in every precious metals portfolio out there? Watch the full conversation here -> https://lnkd.in/eemwFtyx

⚒️ #GOLD: The Hidden Challenges of Gold Developers and Explorers I am continually surprised by the number of investors who conflate the hedge of gold against inflation with buying gold miners, particularly developers and explorers. Historical data clearly shows that gold producers often face significant financial pressure during inflationary periods, almost regardless of the rise in physical gold prices. When we examine gold developers and explorers, the situation becomes even more challenging. These entities, without direct metal price appreciation to realize, are frequently squeezed harder. Despite this, a significant portion of investment still flows into gold. ▪️The Stuggle With Cost Control: Gold producers typically struggle more than other miners to control costs. Gold projects generally have lower economies of scale, are smaller, and face significantly more competition. This means that the costs of services, reagents, and equipment in the gold mining space are much more sensitive. Moreover, the perception that rising gold prices necessitate accelerated timelines and drilling exacerbates the situation. Combine this with the fact that almost 50% of Jr. Mining companies on the #TSXV, and this competitive challenge becomes self evident. ▪️Risk of Investing Agnostically: In the long run, costs rise rapidly, often consuming any appreciation in the metal price. Back in 2011, I analyzed this trend and found that it took about six months for costs to erode 50% of any metal price appreciation. This highlights a larger disconnect between capital allocation in the industry and technical expertise. In this environment, you can't be saved by a rising tide, but need to be investing in quality and projects capable of being the exception. In an industry where significant gains are made through a handful of projects, excellent discoveries, and strategic de-risking, understanding these dynamics and relationships is critical to improving capital allocation and competing against growing and emerging sectors. #GoldMining #Inflation #Investing #MiningIndustry #GoldProducers #Exploration #MiningEconomics #GoldInvestments #CostControl #StrategicInvesting

The past year has undoubtedly been challenging for companies in the lithium, rare earths and critical minerals sectors. Tight capital markets have also made it difficult for some ASX-listed entities to raise capital. On the flip side, depressed commodity prices can present potential buying opportunities for those looking to invest now and expand their presence in the sector while asset prices remain low. Boards of ASX-listed juniors must carefully consider how best to fund potential growth plans while conserving cash, and this usually involves deploying scrip as a form of consideration in M&A transactions. In this article, Andrew Ricciardi, Tom Barrett and Luke Paganin provide a brief list of key considerations to keep in mind when thinking about paying with scrip.
