Please enjoy my conversation with Rebecca Hunter, VP of Exploration at Forum Energy Metals $FMC.V.

Rebecca has spent her life exploring the world for commodities, specifically uranium.

This week, we get a boots-on-the-ground view of what it's like to explore for uranium. We discuss everything that goes into it, including geophysics, drilling, capital allocation, where to drill, and what red flags Rebecca sees in other junior explorer companies.

Finally, we end the conversation discussing the uranium market, it's supply/demand imbalance, and what higher prices mean for the future of yellow cake.

If you enjoyed this episode, please follow Rebecca on Twitter @UraniumHuntress.

Also, please note that I do not own shares in $FMC.V. This podcast is for entertainment/educational purposes only. Please do you own work before investing in any security.

Josh Crumb talks all things commodities, green energy transition, mining labor shortage, and building Abaxx Futures Exchange.

I hope you enjoy.

In this episode, Oliver Friesen—CEO of Guardian Metal Resources—joins for a deep dive into tungsten’s resurgence and why this little-known metal is at the center of U.S. national security, supply chains, and industrial resilience.

We unpack tungsten’s unique properties—highest melting point of any metal, extreme density, and hardness—and why it’s indispensable in defense applications from armor‑piercing munitions to high‑temperature aerospace systems. Oliver discusses Guardian’s Nevada‑focused strategy, including its flagship Pilot Mountain project, believed to be the largest undeveloped tungsten deposit on American soil, and how the company is positioning to help re‑shore U.S. supply chains.

We also explore the shifting policy landscape—China’s dominance over global tungsten supply, looming U.S. procurement bans on adversarial sources by 2027, and new federal initiatives—highlighted by a recent $6.2M U.S. Department of Defense award aimed at sustaining critical domestic tungsten production. Oliver shares how Guardian is building strategic relationships and accelerating project development to meet defense and industrial demand, while balancing responsible development and investor alignment.

Disclosure: I still own shares in $GMET. Yes they have done well. No, none of this is investment advice. This is mining you will probably lose all your money. This is entertainment.

Brian Leeners is the CEO/founder of Homerun Resources (HMR.V), a Brazilian-based silica company dedicated to bringing high-quality silica to market to help advance the solar, renewables, and AI growth initiatives.

We spent the podcast discussing the solar value chain, silica's role within that chain, what makes silica different, the supply/demand dynamics of the market, and what separates Homerun Resources' asset from its peers.

I learned a ton about silica and found a new interesting idea in the process.

I hope you enjoy!

The last time I had CEO of Magna Mining Jason Jessup on the podcast his goal was to create the next FNX Mining. That would be a great outcome for everyone as FNX went from $0.25 to $35 at its peak.

But here we are a year later, and Jason is thinking bigger. FNX is no longer the goal. Think closer to Teck Resources ... or even bigger.

Jason explains his plans for NICU over the next 2-3 years, his goals for the company, and how they can grow into a multi-billion dollar Sudbury mining company.

WARNING: NICU IS MY LARGEST POSITION. NOTHING IS INVESTMENT ADVICE. DYODD. DON'T TRADE BASED OFF THIS PODCAST. IF YOU DO YOU ARE AN IDIOT.

I hope you enjoy our conversation!

This was easily my favorite podcast of the year. Granted, we're only in April. So it's exciting, but a high bar for future guests.

Gavin is a one-of-one thinker and investor. He generated a 2,000x return in his account from buying basically two stocks: Valeura Energy (VLE) and Andean Precious Metals (APM).

You will love his story on how he found, bought, and held along the way to 2,000x performance.

We also talked about process, due diligence, finding an edge, investing psychology, and AI (you'll be surprised on his AI take).

I know this is a 2HR conversation, but it is worth every second because Gavin is an independent thinker and worth your time.

NOTHING YOU HEAR IS INVESTMENT ADVICE. PURELY ENTERTAINMENT/EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES. YOU ARE AN IDIOT IF YOU TAKE ANY OF THIS AS ADVICE.

Stoked to have Will back on the podcast to discuss:

• Clean Tech Royalty companies (like CVW)
• Copper producers
• Gold producers
• Will's Commodity Purity Index (or CPI)
• Using AI in investment research
• Going slow to go fast (read before summarizing)

Really liked this chat.

NOTHING YOU HEAR IS INVESTMENT ADVICE. PURELY ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES. YOU ARE A FOOL IF YOU THINK ANY OF THIS IS ADVICE. DO YOUR OWN WORK.

Kuppy is back on The Value Hive. It's been too long since Kuppy has joined the podcast.

This week, we chat Brazil, commodities, mean reversion, bombed-out industries/sectors, and investor strategy.

We spent a lot of time on investing strategy, intra-year adjustments, and how to deal with disappointing yourself versus the opportunity set.

I loved this conversation. Lots to learn and implement into your practice.

NOTHING YOU HEAR IS INVESTMENT ADVICE. THIS IS EDUCATION/ENTERTAINMENT ONLY.

Welcome to another episode of Q4 Investor Audibles where I read three letters from value investors. This week, I read:

• Dave Waters' Tactile Fund
• Fred Liu's Hayden Capital
• Bob Robotti's Robotti Value Investors

I hope you guys enjoy!

Stoked to have PurpleDrinkCapital on the podcast for his third appearance (Value Hive record??).

We chatted robotics, NVDA, market blow-off tops, trading psychology, technical analysis, and energy. I love having PurpleDrink on because I learn something new about trading, investing, and my process along the way.

Finally, a big thanks to our sponsors for making this episode happen.

Mitimco

This episode is brought to you by MIT Investment Management Company, also known as MITIMCo, the investment office of MIT. Each year, MITIMCo invests in a handful of new emerging managers who it believes can earn exceptional long-term returns in support of MIT's mission. To help the emerging manager community more broadly, they created ⁠⁠⁠⁠emergingmanagers.org⁠⁠⁠⁠, a website for emerging manager stockpickers.

I highly recommend the site for those looking to start a stock-picking fund or just learning about how others have done it. You'll find essays and interviews by successful emerging managers, service providers used by MIT's own managers, essays MITIMCo has written for emerging managers, and more!

Hey guys -- I'm stoked to bring you my conversation with Tomasz Nadrowski, PM of Amvest Terraden Capital.

Tomasz is one of the sharpest investors in the metals space, focusing on the "Major Minor" critical minerals like gallium, germanium, tellurium, and other critical materials needed to defend countries, arm armies, and build tomorrow's reality.

We spent over an hour diving into this complex and crazy world. I hope you enjoy it.

As always, nothing is investment advice. You're a fool if you think this is advice. It's mining ... you will likely lose all your money in the process.

This was one of my favorite episodes of the year.

I love interviewing anonymous Twitter personalities, and GorillaGrip delivered.

Gorilla is a full-time commodities investor who's spent his life traveling the world, kicking rocks, meeting management teams, and making tons of money, along with a few mistakes here and there.

This conversation goes deep into geopolitics, commodity cycle identification, how Gorilla analyzes materials companies, and more.

You will love this episode if you like metals, materials, or commodities.

Jason Jessup is the CEO/founder of Magna Mining $NICU. NICU is a junior copper, nickel, PGMs, and PM developer and producer in Sudbury, Canada.

I'll keep it simple. I think Jason is building the next multi-billion dollar mining company.

He's got everything in place ... the team, the assets, the opportunity. And I think he's the man for the job.

Give this podcast a listen and let me know what you think.

I hope you guys enjoy my podcast with Timothy Call of Capital Management Corp. Tim spends his time finding and investing in unloved small-caps that lead their little market niches.

These companies are often down a lot over the past year, trade at low valuation multiples, and pay shareholders via dividends/buybacks/and debt reduction.

I love this podcast because Tim uses three trade ideas that are all different. One's a consumer health company, another is a school supplies manufacturer, and another one is a gold miner.

If you like new idea generation, you will love this podcast.

Tim Elliott is an old school geologist. The kind that would create physical maps using nothing but a pick, shovel, and a can of beans to sustain himself.

This episode is a Mining Geology 101 for generalist investors. Tim provides deep insights into a geologist's perspective on the junior resource investing space.

He explains what to look out for, what to avoid, what a great company/situation looks like, and more.

I hope you guys enjoy.

Excited to have @ContrarianCurse on the podcast for the first time. I also believe it's his first ever podcast.

I had a blast chatting with "Suspended Cap" about his switch from analyst to PM, how he covers industries and analyzes stocks, how he thinks about idiosyncratic risk, and his thoughts on brands and retail companies.

This was such a fun episode. Stock junkies will love this one.

I hope you guys enjoy!

Remember: EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY FOLKS.

Stoked to have Sustainable Dude on the podcast to dive deep into the world of Rare Earth Elements (or REEs). They're messy, complicated, opaque, and rich with opportunity.

We talk processing, refining, production, China's dominance, how the West can build its supply chain, and individual stock names.

This was terrific. Give Sustainable dude a follow and subscribe to his Substack. It is WELL worth the read.

If you haven't ... what are you doing? And do you even like getting smarter?

Peter is unequivocally one of the smartest people I know. He knows the biotech industry better than anyone I've met, and you can hear it in our conversations.

This week, we discuss the CLPT and QURE inflection moment this week. We hypothesize about left-tail removing events, and what it means for both companies.

I'm thrilled to have John Swallow, CEO of Idaho Strategic, back on the podcast.

John has been one of my favorite guests over the years. He's built Idaho Strategic $IDR from a near-bankrupt entity to a $160M+ company today (as of this podcast).

I first had John on the podcast last February. Things were a lot different then. Gold is much higher now. IDR is profitable. They have no net debt.

But John isn't satisfied. He's building a real company. One that will last for decades after he's gone.

This is the story on how he plans to do that, what makes IDR unique, and why building a business by starting small still makes sense.

Garrett Goggin is the founder of The Golden Portfolio, a newsletter that exclusively covers gold and silver mining stocks.

Garrett has over 15 years experience investing in junior precious metals miners. I spent over an hour picking his brain on portfolio construction, grade hurdle rates, red flags to avoid, and how to value a mining stock.

I think you'll like this one.

Please note that Garrett or myself might own any of the stocks mentioned in the podcast. None of this is investment advice. Do your own work. Mining investing is extremely risky. You've been warned.

Finally, a big thanks to the following sponsors for making the podcast a reality.

Mitimco

This episode is brought to you by MIT Investment Management Company, also known as MITIMCo, the investment office of MIT. Each year, MITIMCo invests in a handful of new emerging managers who it believes can earn exceptional long-term returns in support of MIT's mission. To help the emerging manager community more broadly, they created ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠emergingmanagers.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, a website for emerging manager stockpickers.

For those looking to start a stock-picking fund or just looking to learn about how others have done it, I highly recommend the site. You'll find essays and interviews by successful emerging managers, service providers used by MIT's own managers, essays MITIMCo has written for emerging managers and more!

Tegus

Tegus has the world’s largest collection of instantly available interviews on all the public and private companies you care about. Tegus actually makes primary research fun and effortless, too. Instead of weeks and months, you can learn a new industry or company in hours, and all from those that know it best.

I spend nearly all my time reading Tegus calls on existing holdings and new ideas. And I know you will too. So if you’re interested, head on over to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tegus.co/valuehive⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for a free trial to see for yourself.

Excited to have @ContrarianCurse on the podcast for the first time. I also believe it's his first ever podcast.

I had a blast chatting with "Suspended Cap" about his switch from analyst to PM, how he covers industries and analyzes stocks, how he thinks about idiosyncratic risk, and his thoughts on brands and retail companies.

This was such a fun episode. Stock junkies will love this one.

Purple Drink Capital is back for Round 2 at Value Hive. I love talking to Purple Drink. The dude is a Trader's Trader. He's a slave to the tape, respects his biases, and understands the game he's playing.

I love the way he views markets and positions himself in various thematics.

Even if you're not a "trader" you will learn something new and useful, I promise.
