Nick Hodge, Co-Owner of Digest Publishing and editor of Foundational Profits and Hodge Family Office, joins us for a longer-format discussion on and the macroeconomic themes and fundamental value drivers that that are presenting catalyst-driven opportunities in select gold, silver, lithium, and uranium stocks.

We start off reviewing how the Fed’s first rate cut in 9 months, here during the month of September, and that sticky and rising inflation has been a key tailwind for reflationary trends in US equities, cryptos, and the commodities sectors. Nick points out, once again, that real assets are moving higher in response.  Despite the melt up we’ve seen in many metals resource stocks, Nick goes on to outline where there are still opportunities in companies that have solid work programs and news catalysts on the horizon in the precious metals stocks, and that there are still many positive macro policy factors providing tailwinds to critical minerals like copper, rare earths, and antimony, and energy metals like lithium and uranium.

Nick highlights a few gold and silver companies that have had news catalysts driving their charts higher like recent high-grade silver equivalent results returned in the initial drill results from Kingsmen Resources Ltd. (TSXV: KNG) (OTCQB: KNGRF), and the compelling market cap gulf between the earlier stage Daura Gold Corp. (TSXV: DGC) exploring adjacent on the same mineralized trend to the more richly valued Highlander Silver Corp. (TSX:HSLV) in Peru.  

Next, we revisited the point Nick has made in prior discussions that the lithium space presented a “buy the dip” moment a few months back, and that both the underlying metals price and the related equities have bounced and started a trajectory higher.  He also pointed to the doubling of the stock price this week in Lithium Americas Corp. (TSX: LAC) (NYSE: LAC), on the back of media reports pertaining to the status of its previously announced $2.26 billion loan from the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”).

Shifting over to the nuclear power and uranium tailwinds from the government fiscal bills and executive orders passed the last few years have had provisions in them for accelerating the development of nuclear power infrastructure and uranium mining. Just this month we saw more comments from the US administration on creating a strategic uranium reserve and this has sent the prices of North American uranium stocks even higher, as they’ve been in a multi-month rally coming off the April sector lows. Nick highlights the prior trading opportunity he brought to listens attention a few months back in the Sprott Junior Uranium Miners ETF (URNJ) as one that has worked out nicely.

Nick also flagged uranium companies like Energy Fuels Inc. (TSX: EFR) (NYSE American: UUUU), enCore Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: EU) (TSXV: EU), Uranium Energy Corp (NYSE American: UEC), North Shore Uranium Ltd. (TSXV:NSU), Denison Mines Corp (TSX: DML) (NYSE American: DNN), and Cosa Resources Corp. (TSXV: COSA) (OTCQB: COSAF) (FSE: SSKU) as different stages of uranium companies that are doing good work to advance their projects, which continue to have his attention.

Wrapping up Nick shares the technical innovation in the mining sector and value proposition he sees in  MineHub Technologies Inc. (TSXV: MHUB) (OTCQB: MHUBF) a leading provider of digital supply chain solutions for the commodity markets.  He points out his it is valuable to banks, to traders, to exchanges, to metals producers, to exporters, to importers, to smelters to provide big data and assurances of supply chains.  This opens up a number of lucrative avenues for helping the resource sector, materials space, and manufacturing industries by leveraging this technology, and it is already attracting major partners.
