Gold Bull Setup, Royalty Shakeups and the New Appetite for Junior Miners | Jeff Pontius

Описание: Geologist Jeff Pontius joins Paul Harris on Digging Deep to unpack why gold’s breakout year is attracting powerful new players and reshaping the entire sector. With metal prices pushing higher and capital finally flowing back to developers and juniors, Pontius says the foundations for a sustained bull cycle are now in place. “I think we're looking at a nice, solid bull market. We're getting a nice base built in here now in the gold sector and the silver sector,” he said.

Pontius also examines the sudden wave of US investment groups moving into mining. Elliott Management’s interest in Barrick is one sign, but the bigger shock is Tether and other stablecoin issuers buying into royalty companies across the industry. Pontius says this could be a long-term market disruptor. “These companies could have a very substantial impact on the gold market, and if they come in a big way, you are gonna see possibly a lot more of gold control going into these stable coin type situations.”

From Nevada’s major new discoveries to Chile’s low-grade revival, Pontius breaks down why 2025 may be remembered as the start of gold’s next major run.
