  • #93 Digging for Dollars, #21 Inside the Mind of One of the Biggest Junior Mining Investors
    Mar 13 2026

    In this episode, veteran investor Michael Gentile breaks down how he approaches the sector after 25 years in financial markets and why he now focuses on building large stakes in venture-stage mining companies with 20x–100x potential.

    Instead of trading catalysts or drill results, Gentile explains why his strategy looks more like venture capital — taking 5–20% positions, working closely with management, and holding companies for 5–10 years until they become mines or get acquired.

    We also dive into:

    Why most junior mining stocks fail

    The portfolio strategy required to survive the sector

  • #92 Why the Next Copper Boom Could Be Massive | Ivan Bebek on Mining Alpha
    Mar 11 2026

    Mining discoveries don’t just happen — they’re built by entrepreneurs who understand geology, capital markets, and storytelling.

    In this episode, Ivan Bebek breaks down the real mechanics of the mining industry: how discoveries get funded, how projects become billion-dollar assets, and why the next wave of copper exploration could be one of the biggest opportunities in the resource sector.

    We also dive into the art of pitching mining deals, the influence of legendary figures like Robert Friedland, and why the best mining CEOs are part geologist, part entrepreneur, and part promoter.

    If you want to understand how value is actually created in junior mining — from discovery to acquisition — this conversation is a masterclass.


    Topics include:

    The psychology of great mining pitches

    Why discoveries drive the entire sector

    The economics of junior mining companies

    Copper supply and the coming demand wave

    How entrepreneurs build and sell world-class projects
