Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: It appears as if there could be a supply shortfall in copper in 2026 and with critical minerals being in demand do you see XETM as a way to invest in both copper and critical minerals. On the other hand is there stocks that would be a better copper play and other stocks that would be better in the critical mineral area than XETM.

Thanks

Q: I was wondering what your opinion of this official status of silver now is.

"Silver was officially added to the U.S. Critical Minerals list by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) as part of the final 2025 list, with the recommendation made in August 2025 and the final list published in November 2025, marking a major shift recognizing its importance in technology, defense, and renewable energy".

In light of this, what 3 silver or mining companies you would recommend for exposure small, medium, large cap examples.? Do you believe that this new status has lead to the large appreciation this year? I do hold physical so I have some exposure there already.

Thanks for your great service.

Q: What are the technical charts telling about Gold and Precious Metals?

Do you think, the Gold prices and sector pull back/consolidation has run its course and Gold miners are showing signs of support for its way higher ?

If one had a 3.5% weight, would you add at current levels to bring it up to a 5% position in AEM/XGD ?

Thank You

Q: Hi 5i Guys

Further question on DPM.

There seems to be a complaint files with the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) over DPM failure to disclose material information to its shareholders about serious legal threats related to an ongoing court-ordered suspension of its Loma Larga mining project in Southern Ecuador.

This seems rather serious for the company.

Do you consider this a material blocker to investing in DPM or rather just an legacy issue from a previous owner of the mine and DPM is OK to consider buying?

Thanks
Ken
