Coppernico Metals to Receive TSX Listing and Start Drilling Sombrero with CEO Ivan Bebek

from Kerry Lutz's Financial Survival Network

Kerry Lutz was joined by CEO Ivan Bebek of Coppernico Metals for a dive deep into the company’s ambitious exploration project. From raising over $100 million to the strategic preparations for drilling, Ivan shares the challenges and milestones of Coppernico’s journey.

It’s been years in the making but the company has achieved the required community support and now has the necessary permits to begin aggressive drilling at the Sombrero project. As Ivan states, community support must be earned, and the company’s initiatives will carry on long after mining has finished.

There were numerous hurdles along the way, not the least of which were the pandemic related shutdowns. But Coppernico persevered and now drilling and a coveted TSX listing will be happening soon. Ivan also introduced Tim Kingsley, VP of Exploration, highlighting the team’s expertise along with the strong funding from major miners. Clearly this is a case of playing the long game, staying focused upon the ultimate goal and never giving up. Coppernico’s prospectivity is impressive and we hold shares in the company.

Demographic Shift Impacting Gold Miner Valuations Explains Mining Sector Expert Brian Christie

from Mining Stock Education

“There has been a bit of a demographic shift. Guys my age are retiring, and they are not putting a lot of their money to risk as much anymore. Even the flow-through market here…there used to be a lot of doctors, dentists, lawyers that would typically put money in flow-through funds to get the tax advantage. The Canadian government has changed some of those rules and made it a lot harder. So, I think that is part of the disconnect [between the gold price and gold miners’ valuations],” says mining sector expert Brian Christie. Listen to this MSE interview for more insights from Mr. Christie.

Brian Christie has vast mining sector experience. He began his career as a geologist and saw two mineral discoveries first-hand. Then he traveled the world as a journalist for The Northern Miner. Brian next served as a mining equity analyst for nearly two decades before leading the investor relations team at Agnico Eagle, a leading gold producer. Currently, Brian is on the board of directors for Wallbridge Mining and, since May 2023, is the chairman of Fury Gold Mines (MSE sponsor).

Huge Financial Shock Inevitable & Hitting Now – Ed Dowd

by Greg Hunter
USA Watchdog

Former Wall Street money manager Ed Dowd is a skillful financial analyst. Even though he has a wildly popular book on CV19 vax deaths and injuries called “Cause Unknown,” he is now turning his attention back to the economy. Dowd warns the economy can fall out of bed at any time. Dowd explains, “What’s coming up next is a credit cycle. We are going to see commercial real estate go into problem mode. There are a lot of loans that need to be rolled over in 2024 and 25. A lot of these properties are down 80% . . . . There is huge credit risk coming. The prediction of bank failures is accurate. We are going to see, over the next 12 to 24 months, banks go belly-up. Then, they will have to get merged with bigger banks.”

What happens to the Biden economy? Dowd says, “The economy is going to take a nosedive sometime in the next 12 months. The real economy is not doing well. . . . The only thing that has been holding up the GDP growth is government spending. We are spending $1 trillion every 100 days. That’s adding $1 trillion to the deficit. The only job creation is government jobs, and they don’t actually add to the economy. . . . Reports are coming out now that the low-income consumer is getting absolutely hammered. McDonald’s talked about it in their most recent earnings call. . . . So, low-income and the middle-class are getting squeezed while the rich continue to plug along.”

Squeezed for Decades, America’s Working Class is Finally Up Against the Wall

by Charles Hugh Smith
Of Two Minds

The net result is America’s working class is up against the wall, maxed out.

Let’s start by defining the working class in a meaningful way rather than by tossing around meaningless income metrics which implicitly suggest that exceeding some semi-arbitrary income bracket will magically lift a working class household into the middle class.

In the real world, in terms of class status it doesn’t matter whether the household income is $30,000 or $130,000; what matters is 1) ownership of assets that have bubbled higher in the Everything Bubble which then provide a buffer of wealth that can be tapped when misfortune strikes, and 2) a cost of living that is consistently and significantly lower than net income, enabling regular savings.

RFK Jr. Unleashed: Biden’s Israel “Bait and Switch”, Covid Censorship, and Backing Treasuries with Gold and Bitcoin

from Zero Hedge

Submitted by QTR’s Fringe Finance

This weekend I had the pleasure of sitting down with independent 2024 Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for an hourlong interview.

Our interview started with me asking Mr. Kennedy why, if you don’t follow the mainstream media narrative, you are automatically painted in a vile and unfavorable light. He told me: “I think a lot of it is driven by, or fortified at least, by financial interests. Upton Sinclair made this very, very useful statement that it’s almost impossible to persuade a man of a fact if the existence of that fact will diminish his salary.”

Over Half of New IRS Audits Targeted the Middle Class

by Martin Armstrong
Armstrong Economics

Washington’s reckless spending comes with a cost to US taxpayers. While the fed may simply roll over their debt and issue new debt to pay off the old, the American public is on the hook for immediate liquidity every single year via taxation. The misconception that Biden would only target the wealthy needs to be dispelled as a recent study reveals that 63% of new audits targeted Americans earning under $200,000.

Now, Biden initially claimed he would send his troop of IRS agents to target Americans earning double that amount. The billionaire class was not targeted, as 80% of all audits were on filers earning under $1 million. Yes, there are far more taxpayers in the middle and lower brackets. However, the IRS merely claimed they would prioritize hunting higher earners; they never explicitly said they wouldn’t come after ALL Americans.

It’s Funny How Wall Street Tries So Hard to Get Homeowners to Pay Interest & Fees On Their Own Money

by Wolf Richter
Wolf Street

Second-lien mortgages to the rescue of the battered mortgage industry.

The problem for Wall Street is that homeowners are said to sit on $11 trillion in “tappable” home equity after years of surging home prices.

The actual home equity won’t be known until the homeowner sells the home and pays off the mortgage with the proceeds; the cash that’s left over is the actual home equity. In that situation, the homeowner cashed out and can now use the cash for other things, bet it on cryptos to become a billionaire overnight, buy Treasury bills to earn 5.3% in interest, fund their own startup, or blow it in some other way.

Here is Why a Federal Judge Rejected Hunter Biden’s Second Amendment Challenge to His Gun Charges

Likening drug users to people who are “mentally ill and dangerous,” the ruling says barring them from owning firearms is not unconstitutional on its face.

by Jacob Sullum
Reason.com

Last Thursday, a federal judge in Delaware rejected Hunter Biden’s Second Amendment challenge to the three gun charges he faces for buying a revolver in October 2018, when he was a crack cocaine user. In a 10-page order, U.S. District Marylellen Noreika concludes that 18 USC 922(g)(3), which makes it a felony for an “unlawful user” of a “controlled substance” to receive or possess firearms, is not unconstitutional on its face, meaning there are at least some cases in which the provision can be enforced without violating the right to keep and bear arms.

Noreika’s decision does not end a constitutional dispute that pits Biden against his own father, who has steadfastly defended a policy that could send his son to prison. That policy denies Second Amendment rights to millions of Americans with no history of violence, including cannabis consumers, whether or not they live in states that have legalized marijuana.

Bill Maher Has a 2018 Video of Stormy Daniels Contradicting Her Trial Testimony

by Andrea Widburg
American Thinker

Alvin Bragg’s case against Donald Trump alleges that Trump committed multiple felonies of unknown nature by writing checks to his attorney in a way that did not violate federal campaign laws. Although the attorney had used that money to cut a check to porn actress Stormy Daniels, anything Daniels had to say about an alleged tryst with Trump is irrelevant to these ludicrous charges. But Bragg and Judge Merchan couldn’t resist trying to embarrass Trump, so there she was. That may have been a mistake because Daniels’ testimony was a disaster…and Bill Maher has now unearthed an old Daniels interview contradicting a major part of her testimony.

One of Daniels’s main contentions on the stand was that she felt used and abused by Trump. How dare a man assume that, just because she had sex for money and was an exhibitionist and allegedly went up alone to a billionaire’s hotel room and didn’t object to his advances, she wanted to have sex. She was the victim here. She was traumatized.

Leaked internal Pfizer email confirms separate vaxx batches for employees

Last year, I reported here that Pfizer executives were forced to admit under penalty of perjury in front of the Australian Senate that company employees received “specially imported” vaxx doses, bypassing the regulatory inspection process — even though there was no shortage of general vaxx supply at the time and no other legitimate reason for the secretive carve-out.

Generation Z is Furious About What Has Happened to the Economy, and They Are Blaming Previous Generations for Wrecking It

by Michael Snyder
The Economic Collapse Blog

No matter how hard they work, millions of Gen Z Americans are just barely scraping by month after month, and many of them are seriously pissed off about it. In fact, videos of Gen Z Americans ranting about the economy on TikTok have been racking up millions of views. Many of those that are ranting about the economy absolutely hate the fact that no matter how much they try they can never seem to get ahead. Others just keep getting deeper and deeper in debt because they can never seem to make enough money to pay all the bills. And do you know who they are blaming for the pain that they are experiencing? They are blaming those that belong to previous generations for wrecking the economy, and they are right. We were handed the keys to the greatest economic machine in the history of the world, and for decades our leaders have been systematically destroying it. The bright future that future generations of Americans were supposed to have has been wiped out, and Gen Z Americans are starting to realize that even more pain and suffering are ahead.

Gold, Silver Mania: One of Michael Oliver’s Most Important Interviews Ever

from King World News

Today Michael Oliver, the man who is well known for his deadly accurate forecasts on stocks, bonds, and major markets, told King World News that the coming gold, silver and miner mania will be epic and all have entered a massive acceleration phase that will light people’s hair on fire. This is one of Michael Oliver’s most important interviews ever.

May 11 (King World News) – Michael Oliver, Founder of MSA Research: “We’ve already had our 2008 collapse where gold matched the S&P on the downside for one brief month. We had another one in late 2022. Gold dropped 20% and took out a whole bunch of price lows on a chart that any idiot could see. It looked to many like it was all over for gold and we were going into a bear. Gold then immediately aborted and went back to its highs. But that was the cleansing break.

Can a Country as Far Gone as America Recover?

by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
PaulCraigRoberts.org

The Epoch Times has acquired official documents that reveal that the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in 2021 had definite evidence that Covid-19 mRNA “vaccines” caused multiple deaths. Despite the conclusive evidence in CDC’s hands, the “health agency” continued to lie for the next two years that there were no adverse effects from the emergency use “vaccines” that were for tens of millions of Americans illegally and unconstitutionally mandated as a condition of employment. https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/robert-malone…

We were told by the CDC, FDA, NIH, the monster Tony Fauci, the White House Fool, the presstitutes, corrupt medical boards and university administrators, and our doctors that the “vaccine” was effective and safe. We were told this blatant lie, which every scrap of evidence refuted, over and over and over. And a trusting population trusted the “authorities” and paid for it in droves with their lives and their health. Many independent experts, scientists not dependent on federal or Big Pharma money, believe that the deaths and infertility from the “vaccines” are only beginning.

Cuomo Vax Injury, Trump Trials Fail, Failing Banks Coming

by Greg Hunter
USA Watchdog

A CV19 vax injury that will help wake up the world has been reported. Former CNN News anchor Chris Cuomo is on the airwaves telling the story of his CV19 vaccine injury. He says he has “inflammation” and “brain fog.” Cuomo reveals he is being treated on a regular basis with Ivermectin. Good move, Chris. Sure, Cuomo is eating crow now after he “shamed” people on air who were using Ivermectin to treat Covid a few years ago. I don’t want anybody to be sick from this evil vax or allow it to cut decades off their lives. This is more about waking people up to the fact they need treatment, like Cuomo is getting. Millions of the CV19 vaxed are NOT getting treatment, and Cuomo can shine a light on how they need to be treated with things like Ivermectin to fight the negative effects of the CV19 bioweapon vax. Ivermectin is a cheap, safe and effective “miracle” drug, and more people need to be treated.

All the lawfare (like warfare) cases against Donald Trump seem to be falling apart at the same time. Now, there is evidence from Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey all the cases against President Trump may have been conceived around the same time by the Biden Administration. AG Bailey says he is demanding the DOJ turn over all communications of the illicit prosecutions of President Trump. Bailey says he has evidence that all the prosecutions against Trump were coordinated by President Biden’s minions. Legendary fight promoter Don King says, “We must elect Trump in 2024 to save ourselves.” King might get his wish because it looks like the Biden lawfare cases are not going to stop Trump.

Bear Squeeze in Silver and Gold Resumes

by Alasdair MacLeod
Gold Money

Gold and silver had a better week, with gold up $67 from last Friday’s close at $2369 in European trading this morning, and silver at $28.60 up $2.10 over the same time frame. There was a little more volume in the Comex gold contract, but silver’s was vanishingly low, as shown below.

[…] Most of the action was yesterday (Thursday) when a poor US jobless claims number sent gold and silver higher, and bond yields lower. This was taken by commentators to imply a greater chance of an early reduction in the Fed Funds Rate, which explains why bond yields declined. Furthermore, a successful 30-year US Treasury bond auction allayed fears of funding difficulties.

This is probably more noise in the background rather than meaningful information because jobless claims are notoriously misleading. A better clue as to what is happening is shown in the lower of the two charts above, for silver’s daily Comex volume. The clear explanation for silver’s performance is it is a bear squeeze on the shorts, rather than bullish buying.

Lost in the Vast Wasteland of Social Media

by Charles Hugh Smith
Of Two Minds

Once we’ve made “digital visibility” the primary source of our identity, status and self-respect, we’ve doomed ourselves to wandering, compass-less, in a vast artificial wasteland.

That social media is addictive is self-evident. The temptation to continue scrolling is as limitless as the vast wasteland of content.

The destructive nature of this addiction is also self-evident. The net result of this addiction is depression, anxiety and rising rates of self-harm and suicide.

The immense profitability of addiction to screens and social media establishes the corporate incentives to increase their addictive power and thwart attempts to limit this profitable power. Who cares about self-harm and depression when shareholder value is at stake?
