All Things: Gold & Silver

Let's get a running thread going on TD
Umbrella: Really, any precious metals talk is welcome. Whether that's procurement strategies for physical bullion, junior mining stock speculation or wild-eyed claims that particle accelerators will render terrestrial mining operations obsolete.
Tangents into other metal/mining sectors like Copper, Nickel, Rare Earth Minerals, etc. should probably be expected.
FUN FACT: There are 8 precious metals: gold, silver, platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium, and osmium.
FUN FACT NUMBER 2 IN INFOGRAPHIC FORM

I got a fairly significant holding of Perpetua Resources (PPTA). They have been working through the permitting and fund raising to restart the Stibnite Gold Project in Idaho. They are primarily after the gold and antimony, however I have been wondering if they will also go after the rare earth's from the tailings? I bought-in under $10 usd but have been debating about buying a larger position if it dips back below $17 usd.

We may need to add uranium to that list as being "precious adjacent" as the growth of AI is going to pretty much mandate a return to pushing for more nuclear power (which is going to make uranium more valuable). For example, the AI center being built in Richland parish is expected to use about 2.5GW of power per year with the ability to expand to 5GW. 2.5GW is about 3x what was used for New Orleans last year.

I posted this in another thread. I find it interesting that the Fed is posting articles about the revaluation of Gold. Lots of movements in the Precious Metals space as of late.

PHYS is my preferred choice for physical gold as it’s liquid and can be traded. It’s run by Sprott and supposedly holds physical gold to support market cap. I’m sure there are some futures played but it’s the old Canadian Gold Trust that he acquired.
WPM is my best performing gold stock. They are a royalty company mostly IIRC and are up 81% YTD.

Sprott also has a fund that holds physical gold and silver in equal dollar amounts: a 50:50 value mix.

It was also part of that Canadian trust. One fund was 50:50 the other was all gold. Sprott has always been pretty adamant about physical over paper so this is as good as I’ve found short of loading up on Eagles.

Sprott has a fund that will let you take physical delivery when you decide to cash out.

For anyone in need of a good documentary to add to your slate: This is part 1 of a very well done and entertaining 2 part series explaining the history of Gold.

Schiff disciple but I also subscribe to Doug Casey and Peter Krauth. The three metals poised for massive gains are gold, silver, and....Copper. The developing world will need alot of the last metal.

Casey and Co. Said this was part of trump's plan months ago.

WPM

You can also do Gdx and gdxj. The biggest gains will be made by juniors as the big players aquire them for more metals.

So what funds or stock would you fellas recommend? I am not going through the pain of physical gold just yet.

If you're looking for a more hands off approach as far as mining stocks go, I'd recommend:
GDX
GDXJ
SILJ
COPX
These are all mining ETFs that will give you exposure to the sector without the stress of researching individual companies.

I dumped most of my USAA funds, but I’m glad I held on to USAGX.

My biggest gains are in GLD @ 105%. It is top dog in my portfolio.

I wonder how much it has to run?
Posted on 9/8/25 at 10:25 am to GREENHEAD22
I'm more curious about how much more Silver has to run. The Gold/Silver ratio is still high AF at 87
