Galiano Gold Inc. ($GAU) – The Path to a 10X Return

1
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:14,680
Gold has crossed $4000 an ounce.
Some call it fear, others call

2
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,520
it greed.
But what it really is, is trust

3
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,760
leaving the system.
The world is searching for

4
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,280
something solid again.
Central banks are buying at

5
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,120
record levels and the biggest
buyers are not in New York or

6
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,320
London.
They are in the BRICS nations.

7
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,680
Brazil, Russia, India, China and
South Africa, countries that are

8
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,840
quietly building a new trade
system backed by metal, not

9
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,360
promises.
The shift is massive.

10
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,040
The BRICS alliance wants its own
settlement network, its own

11
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,040
currency, and it is using gold
as the backbone.

12
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,360
Every month more reserves move
from paper assets into bullion.

13
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,480
It is not a trade anymore.
It is policy.

14
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,240
And when policy drives demand,
price becomes pressure.

15
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,520
That pressure is visible
everywhere, in the pits of

16
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,480
Nevada, in the vaults of Zurich
and here in Ghana.

17
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,640
Red soil, humid air, a skyline
of mining trucks crawling

18
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,200
through mist.
This is where global strategy

19
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,920
becomes something you can touch.
The Asanko mine sits a few 100

20
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,800
kilometers northwest of Accra.
It is quiet at sunrise except

21
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,680
for the sound of diesel engines
echoing off the rock walls.

22
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,960
From a distance it looks like
any other open pit, but under

23
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:25,280
the surface is a story of
survival.

24
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,480
The company behind This site is
Galliano Gold.

25
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:34,720
It trades on the NYSE American
under the symbol GAU at $2.04

26
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,720
and in Canada on the Toronto
Exchange around 285.

27
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:43,400
A modest name, almost invisible
to retail screens, yet it is one

28
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,200
of the few gold producers with
no debt, over 100 million in

29
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,880
cash and a clear path to double
output in the next year.

30
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,440
Most investors passed on it
years ago when costs were high

31
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,280
and production lagged.
But what they missed is the

32
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,760
rebuild.
The mine has been transformed

33
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,520
from a near failure into a
disciplined, efficient

34
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,680
operation.
The story never disappeared, it

35
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,400
just fell out of sight.
From New York, the chart looks

36
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,479
dull.
Flat price, low volume, a

37
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:12,720
forgotten ticker.
But history says these are the

38
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,400
moments when leverage hides.
Every gold cycle has one company

39
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,800
that quietly loads the spring.
Then one day the math clicks and

40
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,400
the repricing happens fast.
Our 12 month target for GAU is

41
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,600
675.
The five year path points to a

42
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,200
10 times return, but that path
is not automatic.

43
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,880
It depends on one thing.
Proof When a mine moves from

44
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,240
building to producing, the
market has to see the numbers,

45
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,960
not the story.
That moment is coming.

46
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,520
Gold at 4000 gives leverage most
investors still underestimate

47
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,040
For every $100 move in the
metal, margins expand by double

48
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,560
digits.
That is how asymmetry works.

49
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,120
You do not need gold to soar,
you just need it to stay strong.

In this episode, we go deep into

60
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,320
Galliano Gold, a story of
resilience, repricing and real

61
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,240
assets in an age of uncertainty.
Segment 2 starts now.

62
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,840
The market thinks it understands
this story.

63
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,000
A small gold miner in Africa,
modest production, high costs

64
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,520
and a few good quarters when
gold prices spike.

65
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,640
That is the simple version
investors see when they look at

66
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,320
the chart.
But the chart is lying.

67
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,720
The surface story is hiding a
far bigger shift underneath.

68
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,280
Let's start with the data.
The company trades at just over

69
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,240
$2.00 a share in the United
States.

70
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,920
The market value is about $740
million.

71
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,880
It holds 116 million in cash and
has no debt.

72
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,720
That alone makes it stand out in
the gold sector, but the market

73
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,160
still values it like it is
struggling to survive.

74
00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:20,959
Why?
Because it remembers the past

75
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:24,520
and ignores the present.
Galliano spent years fixing the

76
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,080
joint venture, years rebuilding
the pit and reworking its mining

77
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,280
plan.
For a long time, that work did

78
00:04:30,280 --> 00:04:31,920
not show up on the income
statement.

79
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,080
It looked like waste.
But every dollar spent in those

80
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,280
quiet years was laying the
foundation for what comes next.

81
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,480
Now the mine is ready, the
trucks are running full cycles,

82
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,320
the crushers are modernized, the
grades are improving.

83
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,880
The market just has not
connected those dots yet.

84
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,720
This is the pattern we see in
every asymmetric play.

85
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,360
The market price is in the pain,
but it does not price in the

86
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,560
recovery until the proof is
visible.

87
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,400
That is why these moments are so
rare.

88
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,400
They only appear when a company
crosses from investment to pay

89
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,360
off.
The November earnings drop is

90
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,200
the perfect example.
On paper, the company missed

91
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,480
estimates the stock fell 15% in
one day.

92
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,880
Some traders called it a warning
sign, but look closer.

93
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,040
The hit came from maintenance
and development, not from weak

94
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,480
demand.
Production actually increased,

95
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,880
cash flow stayed positive and
guidance remains strong.

96
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,120
A broken stock, not a broken
business.

97
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,360
That pattern repeats across
history.

98
00:05:28,840 --> 00:05:31,920
When the market punishes short
term spending, it often sets up

99
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,680
the next rally.
The same happened with B to Gold

100
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,880
in 2017 and Agnico Eagle in
2003.

101
00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:41,080
Those sell offs were the start
of the move, not the end of it.

102
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,120
This is what most investors
miss.

103
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,800
They focus on the earnings line.
But Galliano is at the end of

104
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,280
its building phase.
In 2026, production will jump to

105
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:54,880
two 100,000 oz a year.
Costs will fall to around 1300

106
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,920
per oz at gold.
Above 4000, that turns into half

107
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,680
a billion dollars of yearly free
cash flow.

108
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,120
That is not a small miner
anymore.

109
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,560
That is a cash machine.
Yet right now, the market is

110
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,440
treating it like it is barely
breaking even.

111
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,960
That disconnect between
perception and math is where

112
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,320
asymmetry lives.
The bigger the gap, the bigger

113
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,920
the opportunity.
Let's add the macro picture.

114
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,240
The gold price did not reach
4000 because of luck.

115
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,160
It happened because trust and
paper money is falling.

116
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,000
Governments print debts rise,
currencies weaken.

117
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:31,840
Central banks buy gold to
protect their reserves.

118
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,320
The BRICS alliance buys even
more.

119
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,760
They are building their own
safety net.

120
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,800
The result is structural demand
that keeps growing every month.

121
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,280
And that demand changes the math
for every gold producer on the

122
00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:46,320
planet.
Mines that looked average at

123
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,800
2000 gold now look exceptional.
Projects that were barely

124
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,800
profitable are suddenly worth
billions.

125
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,080
But only a few companies are
positioned to capture it

126
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,240
cleanly.
Galliano is one of them.

127
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,520
From New York I can see the
pattern forming.

128
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,200
Western investors still act like
gold is a trade.

129
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,320
Eastern nations treated as
strategy.

130
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,960
That difference in mindset is
what keeps the opportunity

131
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,120
alive.
The long term buyers are not

132
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,160
trading, they're replacing trust
with metal.

133
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,160
That is why this moment matters.
The market believes the gold

134
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,480
rally is short term, but history
shows that when the world

135
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,520
questions its reserve currency,
gold does not just rise, it

136
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,200
reprices and companies that hold
real ounces in the ground become

137
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,760
wealth engines.
The next 12 months will tell the

138
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,840
story.
Either investors wake up to the

139
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,640
math, or they keep looking
backward while the fundamentals

140
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,720
shift under them.
For us, that gap between what is

141
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,920
known and what is real is the
edge.

142
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,520
This is the thesis.
Gold above 4000 is not a bubble.

143
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,800
It is a new base.
Galliano is one of the few

144
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,920
companies ready to scale into
that base.

145
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,960
With no debt, fresh
infrastructure and a path to

146
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,800
double production, the market
still sees risk.

147
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,120
We see runway.
When perception finally meets

148
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,960
reality, that is when repricing
happens and in this story that

149
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,960
repricing could be fast.
Segment 3 starts now.

150
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,360
To understand the opportunity,
we have to start here.

151
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,400
Ghana, a country that has mined
gold for centuries.

152
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,200
The ground beneath our feet is
part of the Ashanti Belt, one of

153
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,200
the richest gold regions on the
planet.

154
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,160
From the air, you can see a line
of open pits stretching across

155
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,800
the horizon.
From the ground, it looks like a

156
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,880
network of red rivers, each
carrying a piece of history.

157
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,160
Galliano Gold operates the
Asanko Mine, a large open pit

158
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,320
complex about 200 kilometers
northwest of Accra.

159
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,280
It is made-up of two main
deposits, Obatin and Isassis,

160
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,440
linked by a central processing
plant.

161
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,120
The mine is a joint venture with
Goldfields, one of the most

162
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,840
respected operators in the
sector.

163
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:50,560
Each side owns 45% while the
government of Ghana holds 10%.

164
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,280
That shared ownership creates
alignment, not conflict.

165
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,800
Everyone benefits when the mine
performs.

166
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,880
The mine has had its struggles.
In the early years, the grades

167
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,480
were lower than expected, costs
went up, the market lost

168
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,480
confidence, the stock collapsed
and many investors walked away.

169
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,200
But while they left, the
engineers stayed.

170
00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:14,160
They rebuilt.
They upgraded the crushers,

171
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,400
improved the haul roads and
redesigned the pit to reach

172
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,480
higher grade zones.
The key change was the Encran

173
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,240
Pit push Back, a project that
opened access to new ore zones

174
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,200
and raised grades for years
ahead.

175
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,920
It was expensive, but it set up
the next phase of growth.

176
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,360
Today, that investment is almost
complete.

177
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,880
The company is done with the
heavy spending.

178
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,400
What comes next is harvest.
On the ground, that shift feels

179
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,400
real.
The trucks are newer.

180
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,920
The pit is deeper.
You can see fresh ore stacked

181
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,360
beside the mill.
The workers know the cycle is

182
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,880
turning.
After years of building, they

183
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,680
are finally running at full
speed.

184
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,920
The numbers confirm it.
In the third quarter of 2025,

185
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:03,000
the mine produced 32,500 ounces
of gold, up 7% from the previous

186
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,080
quarter.
Revenue reached $114 million and

187
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,880
operating cash flow was more
than 40 million, all of that

188
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,520
with no debt.
The balance sheet is clean.

189
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,280
The company holds 116 million in
cash.

190
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:18,720
That gives management
flexibility to expand

191
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,440
exploration, upgrade equipment
or even return capital when free

192
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,520
cash flow accelerates.
Few miners at this stage have

193
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,320
that kind of strength.
And that strength matters

194
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,640
because gold mining is never
easy.

195
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,840
Costs move with fuel, labor and
logistics.

196
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,280
But when a company can fund its
own growth, it can survive

197
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,240
volatility.
Galliano does not depend on debt

198
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,000
or dilution.
It depends on geology and

199
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,320
execution.
From New York, it looks like the

200
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,000
classic transition moment, the
company moving from builder to

201
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,280
producer.
The market rarely prices that

202
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,560
correctly.
It always lags the inflection.

203
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,440
The last time we saw this
pattern was with beta gold in

204
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,200
2017.
The RE raid began only after the

205
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,680
first free cash flow quarter.
Galliano is now 1/4 away from

206
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:04,560
that same moment.
It also helps that Ghana is one

207
00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:06,600
of Africa's more stable
democracies.

208
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,040
The legal system for mining is
clear, and the government's 10%

209
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,760
stake keeps its interests
aligned with the operators.

210
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,920
There are risks, yes.
Power supply can be

211
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,560
inconsistent.
The local currency moves fast.

212
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,480
But the state needs this mine as
much as the company does.

213
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,840
It is a partnership built on
economics, not politics.

214
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,480
That said, we cannot ignore the
changing global map.

215
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,600
As the BRICS nations push for a
new trade system backed by gold,

216
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,400
the politics of ownership become
more visible.

217
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,960
Countries may start asking new
questions about who controls

218
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,280
their resources.
For now, Ghana has a strong

219
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,360
reputation for balance, but
investors should remember that

220
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,720
the world around it is shifting.
That is the paradox.

221
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,880
The same forces that make gold
more valuable also make

222
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,320
ownership more sensitive.
For now, Galliano benefits from

223
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,440
stability, but the next decade
will be shaped by how nations

224
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,320
define fairness in mining
partnerships.

225
00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:03,960
The good news is that Galliano
structure already reflects that

226
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,720
balance.
Local ownership, experienced

227
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,520
partners and transparency have
earned it trust.

228
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,800
That is why the company can
operate smoothly while others

229
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,800
struggle with permits and
delays.

230
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,160
On site you can feel that
stability.

231
00:12:17,560 --> 00:12:21,320
The staff are mostly local. 99%
of the workforce is Ghanaian.

232
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,920
The community projects are
visible from schools to clinics.

233
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,320
This is not a foreign company
extracting value and leaving it

234
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,160
is part of the local economy.
That is another reason why it

235
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:35,000
has survived when others failed.
There's also the AB or deposit,

236
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,480
a high grade discovery north of
the current pit.

237
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,440
Drilling results have shown
strong grades over long

238
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,520
intervals, including more than
20 meters at nearly 7g per ton.

239
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,160
That is significant upside.
Potential expansion drilling

240
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,080
continues and new results are
expected later this year.

241
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,880
That exploration optionality
gives the stock extra leverage.

242
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,320
The mine already has enough
reserves for years of operation,

243
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,000
but new zones can extend that
timeline or raise production in

244
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,520
the gold market.
More years means more value.

245
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,040
So the company stands on three
pillars, strong balance sheet,

246
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,040
clear growth path and a stable
jurisdiction.

247
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,200
That combination is rare,
especially in a sector known for

248
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,600
volatility.
The market may not see it yet,

249
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,800
but those who do can position
before the repricing starts.

250
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,920
Every part of this operation
tells the same story.

251
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,440
A company that refused to quit.
A team that kept investing when

252
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,480
the market gave up.
That patience is about to pay

253
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,640
off.
Segment four starts now.

254
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,000
The financial story is what
turns this from a gold miner

255
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,160
into a potential compounding
engine.

256
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,080
The third quarter numbers
already show the first signs of

257
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:45,280
acceleration.
Production was 32,500 oz, up 7%

258
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,440
from the previous quarter.
Revenue reached $114 million.

259
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,080
Operating cash flow came in at
40 million.

260
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,640
And most important, the company
still holds 116 million in cash.

261
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,920
No debt, no short term funding
risk.

262
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,160
The cost structure is also
shifting.

263
00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:05,320
All in sustaining cost, the key
measure for minors is moving

264
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,320
down.
It averaged $2283 per oz in the

265
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,240
last quarter, but management
expects that to fall to the

266
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,520
range of 2200 to 2300 in the
next.

267
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,840
When the increin pit reaches its
higher grade zones next year,

268
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,200
costs are projected to drop even
further.

269
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,160
That is the setup for a major
margin expansion.

270
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,760
Think of it this way.
Every $100 move in gold adds

271
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,480
around 15% to Galliano's
earnings power.

272
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,280
At 4000 gold.
That leverage is enormous.

273
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,040
Even small efficiency gains or
great improvements will multiply

274
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,480
cash flow.
And the timing could not be

275
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,920
better.
Most of the capital projects are

276
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,960
already complete.
The mill upgrades, the haul Rd.

277
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,280
expansion and the Ink ran
pushback are all paid for.

278
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,040
That means the heavy spending
phase is behind them.

279
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,720
From here, almost every dollar
earned can move to the balance

280
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,640
sheet.
The company's guidance supports

281
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,880
that view.
For full year 2025, Galliano

282
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:06,160
expects total production between
120 and 125,000 oz.

283
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,280
That keeps them on track to
exceed their previous guidance

284
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,400
for 2026, when the Encran pit
delivers higher grade ore and

285
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,720
pushes annual output to around
200,000 ounces.

286
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,280
Investors often underestimate
how quickly that kind of growth

287
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,520
can change the math.
At 200,000 oz and 1300 cost per

288
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,880
oz, free cash flow could reach
half a billion dollars a year.

289
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,080
That is more than half the
company's entire market value in

290
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,040
one year of production.
When that moment comes, the

291
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,200
valuation multiple does not stay
low.

292
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,680
We saw it with B to gold, we saw
it with Caliber and we saw it

293
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,520
again with Equinox.
The market re rates the company

294
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,560
as soon as free cash flow
becomes visible.

295
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,240
It is not gradual.
It happens in one or two

296
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,360
quarters.
That is what the market keeps

297
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,880
missing.
It still sees Galliano as a

298
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,240
small producer, but the
underlying economics are about

299
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,000
to change.
The assets are already built,

300
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,520
the cash is already there.
The only thing missing is

301
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,080
recognition.
We also have near term

302
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,280
catalysts.
The first one is the Swiss

303
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,760
Mining Institute conference on
November 20th.

304
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,240
Management will present updated
drill results from ABOR North

305
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,240
and revised production outlooks
for 2026 that is likely to

306
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,280
attract new institutional
interest.

307
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,160
The second is the fourth quarter
earnings release scheduled for

308
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,160
February 19th.
That is the proof quarter, the

309
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,080
first time the new pit and the
mill upgrades appear together in

310
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,480
the results.
Those two events are key.

311
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,320
If the company reports higher
throughput and lower cost as

312
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,080
expected, the market will have
to update its models.

313
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,720
Right now, analysts still base
their forecasts on old numbers.

314
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,200
The current 12 month target from
the two firms covering the stock

315
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,520
is around 350 average, with a
high of 449.

316
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,600
That will not last if they
deliver what they have promised.

317
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,280
Another catalyst is the
exploration program.

318
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,840
The ABOR area north of the
existing pit keeps showing

319
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,440
strong drill intercepts.
New zones could extend mine life

320
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,240
or lift total resources.
For a gold producer, every extra

321
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,640
year of production adds
exponential value.

322
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,119
There is also strategic
optionality.

323
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,960
With a cash rich balance sheet
and no debt, Galliano can choose

324
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,680
its next move.
It can expand the mine, pursue

325
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,880
new acquisitions or start paying
dividends once cash flow

326
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,200
stabilizes.
Each path adds credibility and

327
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,520
investor confidence.
From a macro angle, gold

328
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,200
producers with clean balance
sheets are rare right now.

329
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,360
Many competitors took on debt
during the last cycle.

330
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,880
Rising rates hurt them.
Galliano avoided that trap.

331
00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:36,640
In an environment where debt is
expensive and gold is strong,

332
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,360
that discipline matters.
It becomes a competitive

333
00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:41,920
advantage.
Another factor is sentiment.

334
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,120
Short interest dropped more than
60% last quarter.

335
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,080
Hedge fund exposure is light and
institutional ownership is only

336
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,360
about 57%.
That means there is room for new

337
00:17:52,360 --> 00:17:54,880
buyers.
Under ownership can flip into

338
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,360
demand very fast once a catalyst
hits.

339
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,880
And let us not forget the human
side.

340
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,880
The team that runs Galliano
today is not the same group that

341
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,280
struggled in the early years.
They learned from the mistakes,

342
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,520
built new systems and managed to
execute without taking on debt.

343
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,520
That culture of discipline is
part of what sets them apart.

344
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,320
This is what the data and the
field both show, a company that

345
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,200
spent years building quietly
while everyone looked away.

346
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,160
Now the market is still focused
on the old story, but here, in

347
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,120
the dust and the noise, the new
1 is already written.

348
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:33,000
When we look at catalysts, we
are not just tracking events, we

349
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,120
are tracking the shift in
perception.

350
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,200
Each report, each presentation,
each headline moves the stock a

351
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,800
little closer to fair value.
Once that gap closes, the

352
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,760
repricing will look sudden, but
it will have been building for

353
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,840
months.
That is the heart of the

354
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,800
opportunity.
You do not wait for the

355
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,400
headline, you position before it
and that is what separates

356
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,360
asymmetric investors from the
crowd.

357
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,320
Segment 5 starts now.
Let us step into the numbers.

358
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,440
Valuation is not about hope.
It is about math, timing and

359
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,000
trust.
The market still values Galliano

360
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,240
Gold as if it is a small, high
cost producer, but that view is

361
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,400
now outdated.
In the Q3 report, the company

362
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:18,200
confirmed production guidance of
120 to 125,000 oz for this year

363
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,960
and projected 200,000 ounces in
2026 once the N Crown pit

364
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,600
reaches full grade.
That is not speculation, it is

365
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,480
written in the mine plan.
At 4000 gold, 200,000 oz

366
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,480
translate into 780 million in
yearly revenue.

367
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,960
Costs are falling toward 1300
per oz.

368
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,400
That means about 500 million in
potential free cash flow each

369
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,240
year.
The current market value of the

370
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,160
company is roughly 740 million,
so in a single year, this

371
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,200
operation could earn back almost
its entire valuation.

372
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,160
The company's balance sheet
supports that outcome, $116

373
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,440
million in cash, no debt.
That means no interest drag, no

374
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,840
covenants and no dilution
pressure.

375
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,160
Every dollar of profit can go
back into exploration, dividends

376
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,560
or buybacks.
The math looks clean.

377
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,760
But math only tells one side of
the story.

378
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,360
What happens if gold does not
stay at 4000?

379
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,000
What if it corrects 20 or 30% at
2800 per oz?

380
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,840
Margins would shrink and free
cash flow could fall close to

381
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,280
break even.
That is the test every investor

382
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,240
has to consider.
True, and that is why position

383
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,600
sizing matters.
We limit exposure to 10% of

384
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,920
total portfolio value.
It keeps conviction high but

385
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,680
risk controlled.
If the gold price weakens, we

386
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,160
can trim or hedge with short
dated calls or other miners.

387
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,920
This is not blind optimism, it
is measured conviction.

388
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,320
Market history supports that
discipline.

389
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,040
In past cycles when gold
corrected, the best operator

390
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,880
still survived because they
carried no debt and managed

391
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,880
costs tightly.
Galliano fits that profile.

392
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,400
It can endure volatility because
it's cash position buys time.

393
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,560
Time is the most valuable
commodity in mining.

394
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:02,080
Analysts are starting to notice.
According to tip ranks, 2 firms

395
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,360
currently cover the stock with
an average 12 month target of

396
00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:10,320
350 and a high of 449.
Those numbers use lower gold

397
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:15,440
assumptions, around 2500 per oz.
If gold holds above 3000, their

398
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,000
models will have to change fast.
The RE rate will not come

399
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,000
gradually.
It will happen in bursts.

400
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,800
The moment free cash flow
becomes visible, multiples

401
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,840
expand.
It happened to B to gold in

402
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,800
2017.
It happened to Caliber in 2021.

403
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,800
And it will happen here once the
first full quarter of strong

404
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,160
production is reported.
The bigger story sits beyond

405
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,160
valuation.
This is about trust returning to

406
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,600
hard assets when currencies
weaken.

407
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,000
Gold becomes the store of
reliability.

408
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,640
Every time debt ceilings rise or
trade wars escalate, demand for

409
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,400
tangible value increases.
That rising tide lifts the

410
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,080
entire sector.
But it rewards the cleanest

411
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,320
balance sheets first.
There is also a deeper question.

412
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,800
As gold becomes more political,
who controls it becomes more

413
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,400
important.
The BRICS alliance keeps buying.

414
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,480
Some nations may start asking
why foreign companies own their

415
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,520
resources.
Ghana has been stable, but power

416
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,480
always follows value.
The same forces that push gold

417
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,400
higher can reshape ownership
patterns.

418
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,240
That is a valid risk, but
Galliano's structure helps

419
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,680
protect against it.
The government already holds a

420
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,600
10% carried interest in the
mine.

421
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,520
The rest is split evenly between
Galliano and Gold Fields, one of

422
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,440
the most respected operators in
Africa.

423
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,480
That partnership builds
alignment, not conflict.

424
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,160
It also adds credibility in
regions where many juniors

425
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,280
struggle with permits or
community relations.

426
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,800
Galliano's track record of local
employment and social investment

427
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,520
creates trust.
That stability is part of the

428
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,960
valuation premium.
The market has not yet priced

429
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,080
in.
If we sum it up, the one year

430
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:51,480
target remains 675 A clean
repricing as the market wakes up

431
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,560
to the new cost structure and
production level.

432
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,120
The five year target stays near
$20 a 10 times return based on

433
00:22:58,120 --> 00:23:00,440
cash flow, compounding and
reserve expansion.

434
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,680
It is not guaranteed, but it is
mathematically possible.

435
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,560
The revaluation of gold itself
is the quiet tailwind 4000 may

436
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,000
not be a peak, it may be the new
floor.

437
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,560
As global currencies fragment,
investors will rediscover the

438
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,880
value of metal trust over
digital trust.

439
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,280
That shift could redefine what
fair value means for every oz in

440
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,920
the ground.
For now, the story is simple.

441
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,560
A company that fixed its
foundation while nobody was

442
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,320
watching, a mine that is ready
to scale and a market that has

443
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,440
not yet noticed.
When truth catches up with time,

444
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,720
the repricing will begin.
Segment 6 starts now.

445
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,320
The best story in the world
still needs a plan.

446
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,680
We can know the math, the
catalysts and the history, but

447
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,040
without a clear trading system,
we are just guessing.

448
00:23:44,360 --> 00:23:47,720
Galliano gold is volatile.
The average daily range is about

449
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,280
6%.
That volatility is not something

450
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,920
to fear, it is something to use.
We trade it with a simple

451
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,920
structure. 70% of the position
is core, that part stays through

452
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,960
the cycle. 30% is for trading
the swings.

453
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,960
We call it the builder strategy.
It lets us scale in on red days

454
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,720
and trim on green ones without
touching the main position.

455
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,440
The goal is to compound inside
the trend, not chase it.

456
00:24:12,120 --> 00:24:15,640
The rules are mechanical.
Buy the dips near the lower end

457
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,600
of the range, sell partials
after fast runs, then wait.

458
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,920
The news will move the price,
not our emotions.

459
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,880
If the story breaks, we exit
completely.

460
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,000
Until then, we stay patient.
Options are another way to use

461
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,640
the volatility.
The February and April 2026 call

462
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,800
contracts around the 2 and 2.5
strikes offer solid liquidity.

463
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,120
We prefer long dated calls that
let time work in our favor.

464
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,360
A $2.00 call near $0.50 can
double or triple with a moderate

465
00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:48,400
move in the stock.
We do not use stop losses here.

466
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,680
We use information.
A stop loss reacts to price.

467
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,080
Information reacts to truth.
If estimates are cut or the

468
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,520
business model fails, we sell
everything.

469
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:02,200
No emotion, no hesitation.
But if the business remains

470
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,320
solid, a short term drop is an
opportunity, not a threat.

471
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,880
That discipline is what
separates speculation from

472
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,240
strategy.
The exit is not a red line on a

473
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,200
chart.
The exit is a change in truth.

474
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,800
When facts change, we change.
When they hold, we hold.

475
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,080
That principle has kept long
term investors alive in every

476
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,200
gold cycle.
Prices swing, headline scream

477
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,040
and fear sells.
But information is calmer than

478
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,200
emotion.
The miners that survive are the

479
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,880
ones that understand their own
numbers.

480
00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:35,920
Investors who follow that logic
can stay in the trade while

481
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,360
others panic out.
Position size matters.

482
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,560
We treat this as a high
conviction but high volatility

483
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,360
play. 10% of total portfolio
value is the maximum exposure

484
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,080
that can be split into 7% core
and 3% tactical.

485
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,120
It is enough to matter, but
small enough to manage risk.

486
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,960
The math behind that size is
simple.

487
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,240
A 10% position with a three to
one reward to risk ratio gives

488
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,680
solid asymmetry.
If the one year target of 675

489
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,960
hits, that is a gain of more
than two, 100%.

490
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,080
If we are wrong and the stock
falls 50%, total portfolio

491
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,120
impact is 5%.
That is manageable.

492
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,160
The ADR approach gives
flexibility.

493
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,880
When the price moves 6% in a
day, we use half of that range

494
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,560
as a guide for short term
trades.

495
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,240
If the price drops 3% we buy
small.

496
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,160
If it rises 3, we trim.
Over time, those small moves

497
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,520
build the position efficiently.
Another factor is correlation.

498
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,760
Galliano does not move exactly
with gold futures.

499
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,840
It amplifies gold's moves by
about two times.

500
00:26:38,120 --> 00:26:42,000
That is leverage without margin.
In a rising gold market, that

501
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,560
leverage is your advantage.
But in corrections it cuts both

502
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,760
ways.
That is why we scale.

503
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,120
Emotionally, gold stocks test
patients.

504
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,680
They look dull for months then
move 20% in a week.

505
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,280
The key is to be there before
the move.

506
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,520
If you wait for confirmation,
you will buy from those who

507
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,000
already prepared.
Preparation is how asymmetric

508
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,400
returns are built.
Another rule is to trade around

509
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,000
news, not inside it.
Enter before catalysts if the

510
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,440
risk reward looks right.
Exit after confirmation if the

511
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,000
expectations become too high.
The two main events ahead are

512
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,880
the November presentation and
the February earnings release.

513
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,160
We plan to hold through both
unless the thesis changes.

514
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,200
And that brings us back to the
core idea.

515
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,560
Trade the information, not the
emotion.

516
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,760
Watch the cost trend, the great
improvement and the cash

517
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,600
balance.
Those are the signals that

518
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,680
matter.
When they move the right way,

519
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,720
the stock will follow.
Patience is also a position.

520
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,840
Most investors forget that doing
nothing is still a choice.

521
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,600
The longer the world questions
its currencies, the more

522
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,560
valuable every ounce of gold
becomes, and the companies that

523
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,440
hold those oz quietly gain
power.

524
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,400
That is why we build positions
like this one slowly, not in a

525
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,840
hurry, not all at once.
We buy on fear, sell on greed,

526
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,040
and repeat until the core
position reaches full size.

527
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,600
That rhythm matches the way
these markets actually move.

528
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:09,200
The trading plan is clear, 10%
Max exposure, no leverage, no

529
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,840
force selling.
The only rule is clarity.

530
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,200
As long as the company keeps
executing, we stay in.

531
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,640
When the facts change, we exit
without hesitation.

532
00:28:19,120 --> 00:28:20,720
That is how conviction is
managed.

533
00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:24,960
This is the discipline that
makes asymmetric investing work.

534
00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:29,000
It is not about luck.
It is about timing, structure

535
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,040
and patience.
Segment 7 starts now.

536
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,840
We have walked through the story
from every angle, the ground in

537
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,200
Ghana, the numbers, the
catalysts and the strategy.

538
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,120
Now it is time to step back.
What makes Galliano Gold

539
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,640
different is not luck or hype.
It is endurance.

540
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,840
The company rebuilt when others
quit.

541
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,320
It spent years doing the quiet
work that the market ignored.

542
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,920
That patience is now about to be
rewarded.

543
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:59,120
The proof will come soon.
The first half of 2026 will show

544
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,040
higher production, lower cost
and the first wave of free cash

545
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,320
flow.
Once the data arrives, the

546
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,840
narrative changes.
The market can argue about

547
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,880
forecasts, but it cannot argue
with cash in the bank.

548
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,120
At that point, the RE rate will
begin.

549
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,800
It will not be gentle.
The price will jump, the

550
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,400
analysts will update their
targets and new investors will

551
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,640
rush in.
The same people who sold during

552
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,440
the 15% drop will start asking
how they missed it.

553
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,920
That is how every gold cycle
plays out.

554
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,400
The one year target remains 675.
The five year path sits near

555
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,200
$20.
That is a 10 times return from

556
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,840
current levels.
The risk is volatility, The

557
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,440
reward is scale.
When the mine moves into full

558
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,280
production, the cash flow will
reprice the stock.

559
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,920
The math is already written, the
market just needs time to see

560
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,880
it.
From New York, I see the larger

561
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,880
pattern forming.
Gold is not just rising because

562
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,240
of fear.
It is rising because trust is

563
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,400
moving.
The world is slowly shifting

564
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,920
from paper to metal, from
promises to proof.

565
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,040
That shift may take years, but
it has already started.

566
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:05,120
And that is the deeper point.
We are not chasing headlines, we

567
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,320
are positioning for structural
change.

568
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,400
Every gold cycle has its turning
point, and this one has already

569
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,960
crossed it.
The question is not whether gold

570
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,960
stays at 4000.
The question is who will own the

571
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,040
next wave of cash flow it
creates?

572
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,600
For us, this story fits the
pattern clean balance sheet,

573
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,880
discipline management, strong
jurisdiction, and a moment when

574
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,160
perception and reality are about
to collide.

575
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,120
That is the formula for an
asymmetric play, the kind of

576
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:36,960
setup we look for in every
episode.

577
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,640
It also shows the value of
patients.

578
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,280
This company was written off
years ago.

579
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,720
Now it is the same assets, the
same ground, the same people,

580
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,160
but a completely different
balance sheet.

581
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,120
That is what repricing looks
like in real time.

582
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,480
In the next episode, we look at
another kind of transformation,

583
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,360
one that blends technology and
hard assets.

584
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,840
We will compare this gold story
to the digital growth of real

585
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,640
time rentals, where data and
distribution are the new

586
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,880
minerals of the market.
And we will revisit Lion 1

587
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,200
Metals, a smaller but faster
play that mirrors this cycle in

588
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,360
Fiji.
Every episode connects for a

589
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,280
reason.
The world is rewriting what

590
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,160
value means.
Some companies use code, others

591
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:19,880
use rock.
The goal is the same.

592
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,200
Turn information into income.
Turn patients into profit.

593
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,000
That is the mindset behind the
Make Money series.

594
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,760
We look for the ideas that
others overlook, the stories

595
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,560
that sound too quiet until they
are suddenly too loud to ignore.

596
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,560
The goal is not just to predict
the move, but to understand why

597
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,920
it happens.
