It's essential to study and learn from the mistakes of others because these lessons are free. Follow the track record of individuals and find those that excel at making discoveries.

Cal discusses the underperformance of the GDX and why it has a lot of room to move. He believes the volatility in gold is scaring off some investors. Producers have cleaned up their balance sheets, cut costs, and most are making good money. We could see another minor leg down in gold and the miners, but we should head higher later this year.

Cal gives some examples of why jurisdiction is key for both taxation and risks of expropriation. Blockades are also a growing concern as these in certain regions. He provides a few examples of promising projects in far safer jurisdictions.

Since 2018 institutions have begun buying into the sector, and we are just at the start of this next cycle. We are in a new merger and acquisition phase, and most of the good companies will be acquired as discoveries are few. This cycle has legs and will continue for a considerable period. All of the senior miners will decline in production over the next five years. This will drive additional mergers and put pressure on the gold price. Most discoveries today have low grades, and viable discoveries are few and far between.

Cal explains his preferred geological gold deposit type along with the costs of developing these mines. Lastly, he explains some of the risks to consider when looking at core and sample results from exploration companies.
