In this week's long-form, we reconnect with Rick Rule, a profound resource investment specialist widely known throughout the junior resource sector. We tackle a number of topics with Rick today, including the headway of concerns over the over-indebtedness of governments during this volatile time of rising interest rates. We discuss the under-investment in resources and how Rick is actively putting money back into junior exploration equities.
Paul Harris then returns with a second segment where he gets a general update from Defiance Silver. Team member discuss the prominent silver jurisdiction in Mexico they are working in and how they are setting themselves apart from other junior explorcos in the sector.
