In an engaging discussion with Tracy Weslosky of InvestorNews during PDAC 2024, Peter Nicholson, President of WEALTH (WCPD Inc.), shared his insights into the prevailing market dynamics and the burgeoning opportunities within the critical minerals’ domain. Nicholson highlighted the challenges faced by the sector in recent years but pointed to a silver lining brought about by increasing global emphasis on critical minerals, vital for green technology and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. He noted the shift in investor perception towards mining, especially with critical minerals like lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper, and uranium, which are now seen as essential for future technological advancements.

Nicholson underscored the significance of recent legislation in positively influencing the mining industry in Canada, transforming it into a more attractive investment avenue. This shift is particularly important as it counters the long-standing environmental and human rights concerns associated with mining, encouraging a new wave of investments in the sector. He emphasized the unique position of provinces like Quebec, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, which offer additional incentives for flow through investments in critical minerals, making them prime targets for investors looking to capitalize on this trend. For those new to the industry or considering diversifying their portfolios, Nicholson suggested looking into these critical mineral opportunities as a strategic investment move, pointing towards the potential for significant returns as the market rebounds. Through his conversation, Nicholson conveyed a comprehensive overview of the critical minerals sector’s potential, highlighting WEALTH’s (WCPD Inc.)s role in facilitating investments that not only promise returns but also contribute to the broader goal of a sustainable future.

In this InvestorIntel interview Tracy Weslosky talks to Cam Currie, Senior Investment Advisor at Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management and the Principal, Currie Metals and Mining Group, who is among Canada’s top 150 investment advisors with 32 years’ experience in metals and mining.

In the interview, which can also be viewed in full on the InvestorIntel YouTube channel (click here), Cam discusses the changing fundamentals of the current market. “We have been concentrating on focusing clients on metals and mining for a number of reasons,” he tells Tracy. “It’s a supply side issue and people don’t understand that there’s no money going to the ground. There are no projects coming on the pipeline and with the EV movement evolving, copper over time will do very, very well.”

As well Cam says that he is “very bullish on precious metals and I’ve actually been very much a crusader in the industry. I meet with the World Gold Council on a regular basis.” He observes that short-term gold prices have been artificially kept down because of the strength of the U.S. dollar, but he remains “extremely bullish – we’re adding to positions very aggressively.” He adds: “I have a basket of companies and again they range from seniors and mid-tiers to developers. I don’t play in the junior exploration grassroots because I think that’s just too high risk.”

Cam also talks about the opportunities and risks presented by the current inflationary environment, and how some of the world’s leading precious metals investment groups are positioning themselves to counter today’s risks in the bond/equity markets: “If you have a portfolio right now with a 60/40 bond-equity composition that’s not going to work for you going forward. You have to have a metals component to hedge against the uncertainties of that.”

“We are seeing an aging population. Around 40% of individuals over the age of 65 experience some sort of memory loss. So, it is going to become more of an issue especially where wealth management is concerned and the dynamics of the advisor-client relationship…”, States James Hunter, Head of Wealth Management at Echelon Wealth Partners Inc., in an interview with InvestorIntel’s Tracy Weslosky.

James went on to say that older adults should have a plan ready for any financial uncertainty and a good advisor can help with that. He said that Echelon advisors are equipped with this advice. They can give advice around seeking power of attorney and advice in terms of who to appoint as the power of attorney. Echelon can make sure that a client’s documents are in a centralized safe location that family members and trusted individuals are aware of where those documents are.
