Financial Sense

Mining companies can't simply pump out more silver, no matter how high the price climbs. In this conversation, Jim Puplava sits down with legendary mine builder Ross Beaty, founder of Pan American Silver and Equinox Gold, to unpack why silver supply is so stubbornly inelastic while demand from solar, data centers, and electrification keeps rising. Beaty shares how he nearly went bankrupt before silver ran from $4 to $50, why miner valuations may soon catch up to metal prices, what could derail the bull case, and why Canada is where he'd invest today. Essential listening for anyone investing in hard assets.
