Forget Valuations. Hard Assets Go Higher (Tony Greer)
2026/04/21
We sat down with Tony Greer, founder of TG Macro and a 35 year Wall Street veteran whose career has seen him on the desk at banks from Sumitomo to UBS and onto Goldman Sachs’ commodities arm, where he operated the firm’s gold and silver books.Tony reads markets through a lens we rarely use on this show: pure price action, sentiment, and sector rotation, with valuation deliberately off the table. That framework has landed him in the same ideas we get to from fundamentals… Gold & the miners, industrial commodities, energy and uranium.We cover:
• What his early days talk him about how precious metals trade
• How he arrived at the debasement trade
• Why this market has him on edge
• His current long book across gold, gold miners, industrial miners, and energy
• Why he ignored uranium for 5 years before the sector started leading
• Trump era resource nationalism, • The 60/20/20 portfolio shift, and why he believes we’re in year one of a decade long commodity cycle

We Visited 7 Mines in Africa. Here's What We Found
2026/04/17
After visiting 7 mines across South Africa and Zambia in 10 days, we unpack the biggest takeaways while waiting to board our flight home.
From massive copper and operations to PGM shafts, gold tailings plays, enormous coal mines, the trip challenged some of our long-held assumptions.
We discuss why Africa may be mispriced as a mining jurisdiction, the reality of costs, productivity and logistics, and where some investment opportunities sit.

Rick Squire on the Junior Miners That Can Actually Make It
2026/04/14
Rick Squire, portfolio manager at Acorn Capital, breaks down a volatile start to the year and where opportunities are emerging across mining equities.
• Volatility is creating mispricing, patience and discipline matter more than trying to time markets
• Commodity cycles drive returns, producers first, then developers, with gold developers currently the sweet spot
• Copper is a supply story, ageing assets, slow new builds, and emerging risks like sulfuric acid shortages
• Juniors are filtered on one question, can this realistically become a mine, with infrastructure, geology, and capital key
• Avoids capital-heavy, complex projects, prefers assets with a clear path to production or takeover
Rick runs through a wide range of names across the spectrum, including Midas Minerals, Solstice Minerals, Caravel Minerals, Prospect Resources, Coda Minerals, True North Copper, Astral Resources, Ballard Mining, Golden Horse Minerals, Forrestania Gold, Q2 Metals, Wildcat Resources, Bellevue Gold, Nickel Mines, Centaurus Metals, Syrah Resources, Meteoric Resources.
A grounded look at how a top resource investor navigates cycles and separates real opportunities from noise.

The Hedge Fund That Stays Ahead of the Street (Matt Zabloski)
2026/04/11
We sit down with Matt Zabloski of Delbrook Capital, for a rare look inside how a long short resources fund actually generates returns, including a standout 151% year in 2025 and a strong start to 2026.
Matt’s core view is that commodities are entering a structural, not cyclical phase, driven by decades of underinvestment and a growing global supply imbalance. Rather than calling commodity prices, Delbrook focuses on mispriced companies, hedging the underlying exposure to isolate true alpha.
The fund operates across three key strategies. Thematic investing, backing long duration ideas like gold and critical metals. Event-driven trades, capturing opportunities around earnings and production updates. And relative value, exploiting pricing dislocations between securities.
We unpack how this is executed through a high conviction, concentrated portfolio, supported by deep fundamental research, site visits and direct company engagement. Matt explains why most investors end up “chasing commodity beta”, and how Delbrook stays ahead of the street.
We also cover gold equities, defence metals, and why volatility created by “tourists” is exactly where the opportunity lies.

If this were Doomsday, Markets would Show It (Alyosha)
2026/04/07
JJ, who writes under the Substack name Alyosha, spent decades as a pit trader on the Comex and Nymex, trading precious metals, energy, and commodities in an era before Bloomberg terminals and algorithmic flow.
He has written over a million words on markets since 2024, publishing twice daily and building a body of work that blends hard won trading floor experience with sharp geopolitical analysis.
What makes JJ rare is the lens. He is not an analyst who reads about markets, he is someone who felt them, physically, in real time, for decades.
In this conversation, JJ covers:
• Why the Strait of Hormuz situation is more dangerous than markets are pricing and what needs to happen next
• What market prices are actually telling you right now and why the noise does not match the signal
• His framework for understanding gold and why it does not go up, everything else goes down
• The trading floor guild system and the two skills that separated survivors from everyone else
• His philosophy on writing, documenting how markets felt, not just what the data said

Last Energy Crisis, This Sector Went Up 20x (Ferg Cullen)
2026/04/03
Straight into it with Ferg Cullen (aka Trader Ferg) in a volatile tape.
Core view, energy security is back, and the system is tighter than markets are pricing. Europe is boxed in, storage low, and policy choices are starting to bite.
Coal remains his cleanest trade. Strong balance sheets, rising demand, and underappreciated upside as we move back toward winter.
The bigger shift is “just in case” over “just in time”. That drives higher costs, more redundancy, and structurally higher inflation.
We hit 1970s parallels, policy pivots, nuclear buildout, and why crises force reality over ideology.
Positioning, stay patient, avoid leverage, let volatility work. He’s leaning coal, grains, and oil services, while building cash for a broader flush.
On gold, long term constructive, near term chop. On uranium, love the commodity, be careful with the miners.

Lessons from Building 6 Gold Mines (Matt Wilcox)
2026/03/31
Matt Wilcox and his team have built six mines in the last 14 years and counting.
Most of them in West Africa. Some in places where logistics alone would stop most teams before they start.
He’s now running Robex and just pulled off one of the more interesting deals in the gold space, merging with Predictive to consolidate Bankan in Guinea.
This one is less about promotion and more about how things actually get built.
And Matt's genuine insights on potential corporate dynamics in West Africa.

How Capital Cycles Create 100 Baggers (Django Davidson)
2026/03/27
We sat down with Django Davidson, portfolio manager at Hosking Partners, to discuss the capital cycle framework, one of the most sensible lenses for investing in mining and commodities.
Hosking manages ~US$8B in capital, using a model honed over 40 years.
Django's approach is rooted in supply-side analysis, contrarian positioning, and the discipline to average into cycles.
We believe this approach to be one of the most effective methods for natural resource investing.
In this chat, Django covers:
The capital cycle framework — what it is & where it came fromWhy supply is measurable but demand is storytellingWhy Implats returned 100x over a decade - what that tells us about todayHis deep dive into PGMs — the geology, the geography, the EV narrative, and why these companies still trade below replacement costHow BHP and Rio’s iron ore assets have generated better returns on capital than Microsoft over 30 yearsWhy mining represents just 1.6% of the S&P 500 and what that signals for the decade aheadThe case for natural diamondsWhere uranium sits in the cycle, and why he is cautious at current prices

Leon (aka Arrakis Global) is a pseudonymous generalist fund manager, a former banker turned go-anywhere, thematic fund manager with a track record that has been up and to the right.

Mark Connelly on Why Every Miner is for Sale
2026/03/13
We sat down with Mark Connolly, one of the most prolific deal-makers in the Australian mining industry, to dig into what it really takes to build and sell a mining business.With a track record that includes Adamas → Endeavour, Papillon → B2Gold, Cardinal → Shangdong and many more, Mark has been at the table for more transactions than almost anyone in the ASX mining space.
In this conversation, Mark covers:
His “go or grow” philosophy and how he sets expectations from day one on a board
Why the CEO role is the loneliest job in the company — and what makes a great one
The difference between a good non-exec director and one who overreaches
How to navigate activist shareholders, private equity and misaligned investor horizons
What really happens behind the scenes during a takeover and why speed and certainty win
Why mining needs more M&A

Why Aluminium Just Hit a Four Year High
2026/03/10
We sat down with Alan Clark of CM Group — aka “Aluminium Alan” — one of our favourite people to speak with and a with tremendous commodity insights focused on the global aluminium, alumina and bauxite markets.
This episode is packed with detail on one of the world’s most important and underappreciated metals markets, from Guinea’s dominance in bauxite supply to the ripple effects of China’s smelting sector and the overlooked stories in molybdenum and vanadium.
In this conversation, Alan covers:
• The 5-2-1 rule and how much bauxite it really takes to make a ton of aluminium
• Why Guinea now accounts for ~75% of China’s bauxite imports and why analysts keep under-calling it
• What caused the alumina price to surge to a 4-year high in early 2025
• China’s hydro-exposed smelting sector and why rainfall dictates output in Yunnan
• The Iran / Middle East supply risk hiding in plain sight
• Molybdenum and China’s growing import dependency and what that means for prices
• Vanadium flow cell batteries gaining real traction in China and the supply chain complexity that follows

Why Management Matters more than Project (Will Thomson)
2026/03/03
We sat down with Will Thomson of Massif Capital, fresh off a standout year for the fund, to dig into his high-conviction bets across materials, energy, and industrials.Will is a deep, contrarian thinker who has grown his fund by finding value where others aren’t looking. This episode is no different, with some punchy views on gold, mining management & commodity investing. In this conversation, Will covers:• Why he sees little value in gold miners right now — and what would change his mind• His deep dive on Equinox Gold and why new CEO Darren Hall is the key variable• Lundin Mining’s Vicuña project — what the $18B capex really means• Why management teams matter more than the commodity• Whether he’s rotating toward energy and niche industrials — including a hot take on offshore wind
