In this week's long-form episode, we welcome in Sam Broom, portfolio manager over at Sprott. Sam is a recurring guest on the show, but this conversation is unlike any we've had before. Through the volatility and stress of the financial system prevalent over the past couple weeks, precious metals are finding a new life. This type of biding is not dissimilar to what we've seen in the past, yet the stress is somewhat new
Sam discusses the continued poor sentiment in junior gold equities, despite the big moves in the metal. And if we are indeed heading into a recession, what does it mean for base metals and those equities? Furthermore, if we see further consolidation in the junior space, what type of mergers make sense for shareholders?
