The seasonal case is straightforward. Q1 is typically the best quarter for resource investing and Q4 the worst. Q4 combines tax-loss selling, portfolio rebalancing, flow-through financing season and, this year, the US midterm elections. October has...

Recording date: 18th October 2026

Silver Crown Royalties (CBOE:SCRI | OTCQX:SLCRF) is a silver-only royalty company built around byproduct silver that does not appear in resource or reserve statements. Many gold and copper mines produce modest silver volumes. Operators are paid for that silver at the refinery but have never reported it, often because the mines predate post-Bre-X disclosure standards or because the amounts are too small to justify qualified-person sign-off. Without a reported resource, no royalty can be bought...

Interview with Dan James, CEO of Prospective Resources

Recording date: 13th October 2026

Prospectiva Resources (TSXV:PSVA) is a newly listed, Brazil-focused copper-gold explorer whose investment case centres on a single question: can a historically drilled copper discovery be reframed and expanded into a commercially relevant VMS deposit within roughly 18 months?

Recording date: 8th October 2026

September exposed a widening gap between commodity prices and resource equities. Most commodities rose over the month, yet every major resource-linked equity index fell. In this Compass episode, Samuel Pelaez and Derek Macpherson of Olive Resource Capital (TSXV:OC) argue that this dislocation stems from macro forces rather than deteriorating fundamentals, and that it is creating entry points in high-quality, liquid producers.

The macro pressures are significant. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh signalled a renewed focus on inflation at Jackson Hole, and the September rate hike was followed by markets pricing in...
