I heard you engineered a “BUST-OUT” contest at the pub late Friday Evening and it continued on for 24 hours! LOL! DT 🤣🤣🤣
HOW DARE YOU !!!! Thats a wicked rumour ……………………………………………… LOL – IT
+38 DD 😊
CEM, together with the government, announces on Friday that it has discovered an enormous aluminum deposit in the middle of Saskatchewan. One of the world’s largest deposits (likely world’s 2nd largest?). It’s a private company and states that it will need a large partner to take it further.
That is great news. I’ll be following it. Thanks Canuckski.
CEM Canadian Energy Metals should get a listing on The Canadian Securities Exchange and start raising money. I say the CSE because it is easy to get a listing and many start-ups find success there like HydroGraph. DT
I’m not sure what to make of all this regarding Salt Typhoon or the “glitch” in the CME network on Friday.
This is that Jon “Asian Guy” A.I. avatar again… so take it with a huge grain of “salt.” But it is a curious theory… about a potential hack leading to a digital bank heist of sorts…

IT WAS A HACK: Something Crazy Will Happen When Markets Open (CME Reporting Goes DARK)
Whoever is behind this AI channel feeding it content was assuming there would be a huge gap up Sunday night… but instead we are seeing a further plunge lower in metals prices….
Time to batten down the hatches….
Stay nibble 😀
Looks like another crazy day in front of us…
Gold futures price now below $4,500
Silver futures price is below $74
I just blame JPM and move along …for everything
Hey Ex. Hot chili with a $40M pp….know you’ve been busy but believe you mentioned in a sub stack doing another write up on hot chili after seeing them after conference
Hi Wolfster. Yeah, I saw that Hot Chili was halted for the capital raise.
On my Substack channel Hot Chili was featured in this recent article:
Opportunities in Copper Explorers and Developers – Part 5
Excelsior Prosperity – 01/09/2026
https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/p/opportunities-in-copper-explorers-6b5
Then I mentioned Hot Chili had a great presentation at the Vancouver MIF during Brian Leni’s panel in my recap of the Metals Investor Forum event.
After publishing I’d gone back in and posted their MIF presentation If you are anybody interested has not checked this out it’s 10 minutes and very well done covering the value proposition.

Another miner gets bought out
https://www.wsj.com/business/deals/eldorado-gold-to-buy-foran-mining-for-about-c-3-8-billion-54a939bd
That is an interesting takeover for a gold company, as Foran is copper and base metals as a polymetallic development project. It also explains why they didn’t make a bid on Probe Gold when Fresnillo scooped in, even though they already had a 9% stake in Probe. They were looking elsewhere…
Foran was ALREADY quite richly valued compared to other polymetallic projects, so this takeover by Eldorado Gold for approximately 3.8 billion Canadian dollars, or US$2.79 billion, (including debt) raises the bar for valuations at least. It makes other polymetallic projects like those held by Emerita, Denarius, Cerrado, Magna, Stillwater, just that much more valuable now.
PGE, 1h… last chart I forgot to adjust the MACD.
Nat Gas is down 18% this morning maybe we are headed into a “Deflationary Depression”, like the 1930’s. That means they will either let it happen or they turn on the printing machine and we have a “Hyperinflationary Depression”. THE FED IS TRAPPED! The economy is so terrible but they use false numbers to pretend everything is okay. If you read about JP Morgan he had a ticket to get on the “Titanic” in 1912 but he decided not to go at the last minute. Morgan’s Bank owned most of The White Star line that built the Titanic. If Morgan had gone on that trip we wouldn’t have had The Federal Reserve which was incorporated in 1913. TOO BAD!! GEE Morgan must have been a genius or just awfully lucky but history was altered by his personality in so many ways however; the story of him missing The Titanic is something no one seems to have understood now or in the past. DT 😊😊😊
Silver 4h, interesting chart. My other chart shows gaps but all have been filled but one small one at $68 that I think is becoming unimportant, IMO.
Just some silver info.

They crashed silver on purpose … Heres the real plan . 25 minutes , with some humour.
