The resource investing community descended on Boca Raton, Florida, during the first full week of July for another edition of the Rule Symposium, hosted by veteran investor and speculator Rick Rule.
The five day event featured an illustrious array of speakers, panelists and companies sharing a wealth of investor knowledge. As in years past, gold remained a top focus, with many presenters stressing the value it offers investors.
Opening the conference, Rule provided a sobering overview of the current economic trajectory. He urged investors to set aside political narratives and instead focus on the raw arithmetic of America’s financial condition.
“It’s not about politics, it’s about math,” said Rule.
He pointed to three figures that define the US financial landscape: US$141 trillion in aggregate private net worth, a US$27.71 trillion GDP and a personal savings rate of just 4 percent. That’s set against mounting obligations — US$36.6 trillion in federal debt held by bondholders and over US$100 trillion in unfunded federal entitlements.
Rule cautioned that the imbalance between assets and liabilities points to a looming reckoning, potentially echoing the inflationary erosion of the 1970s, when the US dollar lost 75 percent of its purchasing power.
“There’s no way out of this without reducing the value of the dollar,” he told the audience. “(The) increase in gold (prices) will mirror the decrease in purchasing power of the US dollar.’
To hedge against this risk, Rule encouraged attendees to adopt a more self-reliant approach.
He advised listeners to question government guarantees, focus on building personal financial resilience and consider investing in inflation-sensitive assets such as gold and silver. “The math doesn’t lie — it’s time to prepare, not just react,” said Rule. ”I need you not to panic when the time is right, but rather to pounce.”
Watch a recap of key Rule Symposium takeaways.
Tailwinds turning to headwinds
In addition to strategically allocating to gold, geopolitical uncertainty was as a key theme at the Rule Symposium.
During his presentation “Back to the Old Drawing Board: First Principles and the Lost Art of Investing Through Crisis,” author and publisher Grant Williams made the case that longstanding tailwinds — globalization, demographic expansion and low interest rates — have reversed, giving way to persistent uncertainty.

Williams provides an overview of shifting market dynamics.
He traced the last four decades of wealth creation to a rare alignment of forces that pushed asset prices, particularly US equities, sharply higher. However, since 2020, a new macro regime has emerged, defined by tighter monetary policy, rising geopolitical risk and fading confidence in the US dollar.
Like many speakers at the Rule Symposium, Williams also underscored the massive gold purchases central banks are making. During Q1 of this year, central banks added 244 metric tons of gold to their official reserves, a 24 percent increase above the five year quarterly average, according to World Gold Council data.
For Williams, this shift signals growing concern within the financial system — a trend investors shouldn’t overlook.
“When central banks are exchanging their reserves for gold in record amounts, if they feel the sudden urgent need to own more gold, you better believe that we should feel that too,” he noted.
The expert went on to illustrate how major economic and societal cycles are converging, suggesting more volatility ahead. A live poll of the audience taken during his session revealed growing unease among attendees, with many already adjusting their portfolios and long-term goals. In response, Williams called for a return to key principles: scarcity, durability, resilience, trust, patience and a clear-eyed acceptance of uncertainty.
These, he said, should now anchor any sound investment approach. He urged Rule Symposium attendees to shift their mindset from chasing returns to preserving capital by reducing overexposure to US equities, diversifying by geography and asset class and focusing on businesses with real staying power.
The investment playbook of the past no longer fits the world we’re entering, he stressed.
Navigating what Williams calls an “age of headwinds” will require humility, discipline and a willingness to rethink what truly creates and protects wealth.
Hard assets set to shine
Economist, author and former Wall Street executive Dr. Nomi Prins laid out a case for what she calls the “real asset uprising,” a global shift in value and power driven by hard assets like gold, silver, copper, uranium and rare earths.
Drawing on her experience in high-level banking and her current work in the mining sector, Prins argued that rising geopolitical friction, shifting trade dynamics and financial system strain are fueling a renewed focus on tangible resources. She pointed to surging institutional interest in commodities, noting that Wall Street deal flow tied to real assets is up 24 percent year-on-year, while hiring in commodity finance roles has increased by 15 percent.
Gold, once dismissed on trading desks, is now seen as a strategic monetary tool.
According to Prins, the yellow metal will not replace the US dollar as the reserve currency, but it will play a central role in bilateral trade and power negotiations. Gold’s jurisdiction — where it is stored and mined — is now more important than ever, she explained, as nations seek to shield assets from sanctions and instability.
Silver, copper, uranium and rare earths are all finding support through similar structural tailwinds, Prins pointed out.
Silver demand is rising due to its industrial applications, and limited aboveground supply is driving long-term contracts.
For its part, copper has become so strategically important that the US is conducting a Section 232 national security investigation into its supply chain, a move historically reserved for defense resources. Major buyers like China and India are stockpiling copper in anticipation of supply constraints.
Uranium is also surging back into focus, driven by bipartisan support for nuclear energy. Legislation and executive orders are fast tracking uranium permitting and enrichment, with utility demand expected to outstrip supply.
Rare earths = real assets
Prins highlighted rare earths as a critical new front in the ongoing global shift in value and power.
‘Rare earths are intrinsic to the nation,’ she said, pointing to their essential role in defense, electronics and energy technologies. With 85 percent of processing controlled by China, the US has launched Section 232 investigations to assess domestic vulnerabilities — reports on copper and rare earths are expected this fall.
Prins described her decision to join the board of a rare earths company as a natural extension of her belief in physical assets: “It’s not just about the asset — it’s about controlling the asset, the processing and the movement.”
That theme underpins the investment case: security of supply, efficient processing and strategic jurisdiction are key to value creation. She also noted a dramatic capital rotation, saying that US$330 billion has exited bonds over the past year, while US$230 billion has flowed into commodities.
“Wall Street is following the real asset story,” Prins emphasized.

Rule sits down with Porter Stansberry to discuss his investment strategy.
Prins then said real upside now lies not just in owning resources, but in having processing capability.
New technologies, like advanced rare earths separation methods, are increasing economic viability and attracting private capital. “Where private money and public power combine, that’s where the investment opportunity is,” she said.
With key policy announcements and trade shifts looming in the fall, she warned investors this is a “very critical time” in the real asset uprising. For Prins, the message is clear: investors, policymakers and mining leaders must position accordingly, because, in today’s world, “whoever controls the ground controls the game.’

Defense manufacturer Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) is in early talks with undersea mining companies to open access to two dormant seabed exploration licenses it has held since the 1980s
The move signals a renewed US push to tap the ocean floor for critical minerals.
The licenses, which cover swaths of the eastern Pacific seabed in international waters, were awarded to Lockheed by US regulators decades ago during a previous wave of interest in deep-sea mining.
Though the projects never progressed to extraction, they are now gaining fresh attention as nations and corporations seek alternative sources of key minerals used in electric vehicles, defense technologies, and clean energy systems.
“We are in early stages of conversations with several companies about giving them access to our licences and allowing them to process those materials,” Frank St. John, Lockheed’s chief operating officer, told the Financial Times.
While St. John declined to quantify the potential value of the deposits, he added that interested parties have “done the homework and determined there is value there.”
Lockheed’s seabed licenses could represent a strategic foothold in a mineral-rich region, containing polymetallic nodules that can hold commercially viable concentrations of key metals.
The timing also coincides with recent executive action from the White House.
USPresident Donald Trump, who returned to office in January, signed an executive order in April asserting US rights to issue mining licenses in international waters and encouraging the stockpiling of seabed metals as strategic resources.
The order bypasses ongoing negotiations at the International Seabed Authority (ISA), the UN agency tasked with regulating deep-sea mining, and instead relies on the 1980 US Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act as the legal foundation.
It emphasizes the need to “establish the US as a global leader in seabed mineral exploration and development both within and beyond national jurisdiction.” While the US has not ratified the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea — the treaty from which the ISA derives its authority — it has signed a 1994 agreement recognizing the treaty’s seabed provisions and operates its own permitting system through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Lockheed said it welcomes the renewed policy attention. “We believe the US has the opportunity to develop a gold standard for commercial recovery of nodules in an environmentally responsible manner.”
Court upholds TMC disclosures on deep-dea mining risks
Lockheed is not alone in navigating the legal uncertainties surrounding seabed mining.
The Metals Company (TMC) (NASDAQ:TMC), a deep-sea mining startup, recently survived a shareholder lawsuit alleging it had misled investors about the environmental impacts and financial backing of its operations.
US District Judge Eric Komitee dismissed the claims, ruling that the company’s comparisons to conventional mining methods were not misleading, even if deep-sea mining still carries environmental risks.
“It is eminently possible that (1) deep-sea mining causes meaningful environmental harm, and yet (2) such harm is significantly less than the harm caused by existing methods,” the judge wrote.
TMC had disclosed in filings that deep-sea mining could result in damage and that the regulatory path remained uncertain. Its legal win may encourage others — like Lockheed — to proceed more openly with their seabed plans, albeit cautiously.
Deep-sea mining industry cautiously awakens
The growing pursuit of potentially extracting resources from the world’s oceans comes at a critical juncture for the seabed-mining industry. For decades, a de facto moratorium on mining in international waters has been in place due to regulatory uncertainty and environmental concerns.
The ISA has issued more than 30 exploratory permits, but has yet to finalize commercial extraction rules. That delay has prompted frustration from some parties, while drawing calls from others for a pause or outright ban.
Currently, the ISA is holding key assemblies in Jamaica to hash out the long-awaited mining code to regulate commercial activity on the ocean floor with provisions for environmental safeguards, royalties, and tax obligations.
But a growing number of countries — 37 at last count — have pushed for a precautionary pause, citing risks to deep-sea ecosystems that remain largely uncharted. Scientists warn that mining these habitats could cause irreversible damage.
In 2023, Lockheed appeared to step back from the sector by selling two UK-sponsored exploration licenses in the Pacific, a move interpreted by analysts as signaling reduced confidence in deep-sea mining.
However, its retained US licenses suggest it never fully exited the space.
The Trump administration’s executive order marks the most assertive US step yet to undermine the ISA’s multilateral approach, raising fears among diplomats that the agency may lose legitimacy.
China, which has also invested heavily in seabed mining, responded sharply to the move.
“The US authorization violates international law and harms the overall interests of the international community,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said earlier this year.

Over 1,000 soil samples have now been collected across the Belle South grid, the southern extent of the JD Porphyry trend.
-
Geological mapping and prospecting are ongoing with a current focus on McClair Creek which transects the JD Porphyry Trend. Mapping has also been completed along the Finn to Creek Corridor as well as the Oxide Peak West target.
-
‘It’s exciting to see the drill rig turning on the first hole of our fully funded $6 million exploration program,’ said Niel Marotta, CEO of Sun Summit Minerals. ‘This year’s campaign is focused on advancing and expanding the Creek and Finn gold-silver targets, while also generating and refining new priority targets across the JD Project. With several large regional programs underway in the northern Toodoggone, we expect a steady stream of news throughout the season, including drill results from our own aggressive 5,000 metre program.’
JD Exploration Program
The primary exploration goals at the JD Project are to advance and expand the Creek and Finn gold-silver targets and to generate and refine new priority targets across the project. Work is currently focused on the highly prospective 4.5 km long epithermal-related Finn to Creek corridor, as well as the 12 km long JD Porphyry trend (Figure 2).
Drilling update: Drilling has now commenced with the rig advancing the first hole of the program at the Creek Zone. Up to 3,000 meters of drilling is planned at the Creek Zone with holes designed to investigate the extent and continuity of near-surface, high-grade and bulk-tonnage gold mineralization (e.g., 122.53 m of 2.11 g/t Au including 1.5 of 121.0 g/t Au in CZ-24-0047 and 22.0 m of 11.7 g/t Au including 4.0 m of 61.2 g/t Au in CZ97-0085, Figure 3). Following completion of the Creek Zone holes, the drill rig will move to the Finn zone where up to 2,000 meters of drilling is planned with holes designed to evaluate the extent and continuity of near-surface high-grade and bulk-tonnage gold mineralization (Figure 4).
Target generation update: Project-wide exploration activities aimed at target generation and drill target refinement are ongoing, including:
- Over 20-line km of induced polarization (IP) geophysical surveying has been completed along the JD Porphyry trend east of the Finn Zone. Additional surveying is planned across parts of the Finn to Creek corridor to infill historical gaps.
- Over 1,000 soil samples have now been collected across the Belle South grid, southern extent of the porphyry trend (Figure 2). Once complete, sampling will continue across the Kadah grid which covers a highly prospective area south of the Finn to Creek corridor lacking historical soil coverage.
- Geological mapping and prospecting are ongoing with a current focus on McClair Creek which transects the JD Porphyry trend. Mapping has also been completed along the Finn to Creek corridor as well as the Oxide Peak West target. Mapping will continue east towards the East McClair target (Figure 2).
Timeline: Drilling and complementary exploration activities are anticipated to continue into September.

Stallion Uranium Corp. (the ‘ Company ‘ or ‘ Stallion ‘ ) (TSX-V: STUD ; OTCQB: STLNF ; FSE: FE0) is pleased to report the results from the 3D inversion of ground gravity data over the Coyote Target, located within the Southwestern Athabasca Basin Joint Venture (‘ JV ‘) Project in partnership with Atha Energy Corp. (‘Atha Energy’) (TSX-V: SASK) .
‘The inversion modelling at Coyote has delineated a laterally extensive and coherent gravity low, spatially coincident with a structurally complex corridor exhibiting attributes characteristic of fertile uranium-bearing systems within the Athabasca Basin,’ said Matthew Schwab, CEO of Stallion Uranium Corp. ‘The robustness of the geophysical anomaly, in conjunction with the structural and lithological setting, provides compelling evidence supporting Coyote as a high-priority target for drill testing.’
Highlights:
- 3D gravity inversion completed and interpreted by leading geophysical experts specializing in the Athabasca Basin
- Identified multiple gravity-low anomalies along a major conductive corridor
- A prominent, coherent gravity-low feature interpreted as a zone of alteration along an interpreted structural corridor
- Strong correlation between the gravity anomalies and conductive breaks identified from the MobileMT survey
The inversion results highlight a gravity-low anomaly commonly associated with significant uranium mineralization systems in the Athabasca Basin. The modelled anomaly defines the low-density feature’s depth extent, shape, and continuity, further supporting the potential for large-scale uranium alteration at Coyote.
‘The 3D gravity inversion provides a powerful validation of the overall prospectivity at Coyote,’ said Darren Slugoski, Vice President, Exploration at Stallion Uranium. ‘The inversion highlights a series of at least five compelling targets within an 8.5 km corridor. We are well-positioned to take the next steps toward discovery with a subsequent ground EM survey (currently being interpreted by Convolutions Geoscience) in addition to a focused and systematic drill program.’
The inversion results visualize subsurface density variations, with the anomaly’s geometry and intensity suggesting prolonged fluid movement and alteration; critical vectors toward uranium mineralization. The alignment of the gravity-low with previously defined conductive trends and interpreted structural corridors underscores a compelling geological model. The results validate the exploration strategy at Coyote and refine the prioritization of drill targets based on integrated geophysical and structural frameworks.

‘The 3D gravity inversion model at Coyote reveals a well-defined low-density anomaly that is both laterally extensive and vertically continuous,’ said Kyle Patterson, P. Geo., Principal Geophysicist at Convolutions Geoscience, a leading consulting firm specializing in advanced geophysical modelling and geologic integration. ‘This type of geophysical signature is commonly associated with deep-seated structural zones and extensive hydrothermal alteration; both key indicators in targeting basement-hosted uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin. The spatial correlation with interpreted MobileMT conductors, observed alteration patterns, and interpreted shear zones further support the interpretation that the Coyote project hosts the ideal geological pathfinders for a significant uranium system.’

With over 15 years of experience in the industry and a focus on high-resolution geoscientific data integration in the Athabasca Basin, Kyle has worked extensively with uranium explorers to define and refine targets using gravity, magnetics, and EM inversion modelling. His expertise is in interpreting complex structural and alteration systems, bridging geophysics with geological understanding to drive discovery-focused exploration.
Gravity Data Inversion:
Convolutions Geoscience inverted the ground gravity data, utilizing industry-standard 3D inversion techniques to estimate subsurface density variations from the processed gravity data. The objective was to assist in delineating alteration zones of interest for uranium exploration.
Convolutions Geoscience carried out a 3D inversion of the gravity data to create a voxel product of subsurface density anomalies using the industry-standard Fullagar Vertical Prism Magnetic and Gravity (VPmg) codes. The inputs into the inversion were the free air anomaly from the dataset; lake bathymetry data for water depth; digital terrain model (DTM) for the project area, in addition to NASA Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data for surrounding areas; and density constraints for sandstone cover rocks above the unconformity as well as basement rocks below the unconformity. Convolutions created a VPmg gravity inversion using 40m x 40m surface XY blocks and Z blocks of 10m at the surface, increasing by 5% at depth. The total model block depth exceeds 10km.

Today’s crypto news to know
Bitcoin hits record US$123,000 as Congress kicks off Crypto Week
Bitcoin surged to a new all-time high of US$123,153.22 on Monday (July 14), driven by investor optimism ahead of major US congressional debates on crypto regulation.
The House of Representatives is set to consider three pivotal bills this week: the GENIUS Act, the CLARITY Act, and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act.
These proposals aim to create a federal framework for stablecoins, clarify regulatory jurisdiction between the SEC and CFTC, and ban the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency.
The rally was bolstered by President Donald Trump’s continued support for the crypto sector, as he declared himself the “crypto president” during his campaign and urged a friendlier regulatory approach.
Market analysts pointed to strong institutional inflows and broader participation from family offices in Asia. Ethereum followed suit, climbing past US$3,000, while Solana and XRP each rose by approximately 3 percent.
The global crypto market cap now stands at US$3.81 trillion. Analysts say this could mark a structural shift, with bitcoin increasingly viewed as a reserve asset by both institutions and some central banks.
‘Crypto Week’ in Washington triggers rally in digital assets and equities
As “Crypto Week” begins in the U.S. capital, lawmakers are fast-tracking efforts to regulate the digital asset industry with three bills under House consideration.
The GENIUS Act, passed by the Senate last month, seeks to regulate stablecoins by limiting issuance to licensed entities and requiring full dollar-backed reserves. It is scheduled for a House floor vote on Tuesday and may reach President Trump’s desk within days. T
he more complex CLARITY Act proposes splitting oversight duties between the SEC and CFTC depending on asset classification—commodities versus securities.
The third measure, the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, aims to prohibit the Fed from developing a digital dollar.
Stocks tied to crypto companies are soaring in tandem: Coinbase and Robinhood hit new highs, while Circle stock has risen over 500 percent since its IPO.
Bhutan sells US$59M in Bitcoin but retains US$1.4B in holdings
Bhutan has sold over US$59 million worth of bitcoin in recent days, taking advantage of the cryptocurrency’s historic run past US$123,000.
According to blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain, the country offloaded 512.84 BTC in the past four days. Even after the sale, Bhutan still holds over 11,400 BTC, now valued at more than US$1.4 billion.
The sales are coordinated by Druk Holding & Investments, the country’s sovereign wealth fund, which operates a clean-energy mining program powered by hydropower.
Unlike Germany, which liquidated seized crypto, Bhutan actively mines and times its sales to coincide with price peaks. Officials have emphasized the environmental sustainability of their operations in line with national policy goals.
