Recording Date 7-16-2026. In this episode, Rick explains why higher US interest rates and a stronger dollar have restrained gold, and why a future political retreat from tight monetary policy could become the catalyst for another major precious-metals advance. I also ask him about weakening nickel prices, speculative inventory liquidation, lower economic liquidity, and the growing financing costs affecting commodity markets.
Rick then ranks and analyzes Freehold Royalties, Equinox Gold, Snowline Gold, Banyan Gold, Saturn Metals, Arras Minerals, Eco Atlantic, Cerro de Pasco, Honey Badger Silver, and several emerging explorers. We examine Equinox Gold after its 50% decline, including merger-related selling, Greenstone's cash-flow potential, possible asset sales, and Ross Beatie's likely next moves. Rick also discusses offshore oil exploration, frontier basins, indigenous royalties, mine-development timelines, warrants, infrastructure risk, and the importance of management discipline.

✅ Lower rates could trigger the next major gold rally.
✅ Equinox Gold's selloff has improved its valuation.
