The Market Mindset – Unveiling Asymmetric Investment Opportunities

As 2025 comes to a close, Andrew O’Donnell of The Market Mindset is joined by Chris Berlet, CEO of Canuc Resources, for a wide-ranging end-of-year conversation — and a clear look ahead to 2026.

This livestream will step back from day-to-day headlines to cover the bigger picture across gold, commodity ETFs, and market positioning, before zooming in on what execution really looks like for a junior company entering an active phase.

Key themes we’ll cover:

What 2025 taught investors about gold, commodities, and ETFs
Why 2026 is shaping up to be an execution year, not a speculation year
How Canuc is sequencing its work across Ontario and Mexico with intent
What investors should actually watch for as results begin to flow
How to think about steady, value-adding news flow versus promotion

This is a practical, grounded discussion focused on process, positioning, and expectations — both for the broader market and for Canuc’s roadmap into the year ahead.

In this episode of Today's Take, host Andrew O'Donnell from The Market Mindset sits down with recurring guest Douglas B. Silver, a renowned explorationist, mineral economist, and financier, celebrated for his significant contributions to the mining industry.

About Douglas B. Silver

Douglas "Doug" Balfour Silver's career spans over four decades, during which he has been instrumental in mineral discoveries, company formations, and the advancement of industry professionals. An economic geologist by training, Doug began his career in 1980 with The Anaconda Minerals Company, citeturn0search0 where he was among the principal discoverers of the Silver Creek molybdenum deposit in Colorado. He later founded Balfour Holdings, providing technical and economic consulting to the global minerals industry. In 1989, he established the Denver Gold Group, now a premier gold investor forum.

Today’s Take breaks down one of the biggest M&A moves of the year in precious metals.
Contango ORE and Dolly Varden Silver have announced a true merger of equals—a deal that forms a new North American high-grade producer and developer spanning Alaska and British Columbia. The combined company, soon to be renamed Contango Silver & Gold Inc., brings together cash-flowing gold production from Manh Choh and top-tier exploration growth from Kitsault Valley, Johnson Tract, and Lucky Shot.

Andrew will cover:

Why this deal matters right now in a rising gold–silver price environment

How MergeCo becomes a well-funded, multi-asset platform with DSO-friendly projects

The strategic fit between Dolly Varden’s Golden Triangle footprint and Contango’s Alaskan assets

Leadership & ownership structure (50/50 split, Van Nieuwenhuyse as CEO, Khunkhun as President)

What this could signal for future consolidation across North American precious-metal developers

If you want to understand the next potential mid-tier growth story—and what it might mean for the wider mining sector—this is the episode to watch.

Desert Mountain Energy (TSXV: DME | OTC: DMEHF) has signed a new LOI to advance a sodium–nickel–chloride (SNC) battery manufacturing plant in Roswell, New Mexico — integrated with water-reuse infrastructure and powered by DME’s natural-gas resources.

In this interview, Andrew O’Donnell of The Market Mindset sits down with CEO Robert Rohlfing to break down what the LOI actually covers, why Roswell is strategic, and how this initiative ties into Desert Mountain Energy’s broader helium, hydrogen, and natural-gas plans.

Key Topics Covered:
- How produced water from regional oil & gas wells will be treated and reused
- Revenue streams from sodium and REE extraction
- Why SNC battery technology is gaining traction for grid and industrial applications
- How DME plans to supply power for both water-processing and AI-data-center infrastructure
- Local and federal incentives tied to New Mexico energy-transition programs
- How the Roswell LOI fits into DME’s integrated energy-and-materials strategy

Roswell is emerging as a growing Southwest energy-tech corridor, and this LOI positions DME at the intersection of critical-materials management, advanced manufacturing, and next-generation energy systems.

In this interview, Andrew O'Donnell is joined by Rasool Mohammad, CEO of Arya Resources, to break down one of the clearest valuation disconnects in Canada’s gold exploration space. Both Arya (RBZ-V) and Trident (ROCK-V) operate in the same La Ronge Gold Belt, both are hitting strong orogenic-style gold zones, and both share a management lineage responsible for defining ~536,000 ounces in the region. Yet despite comparable grade–width numbers — and Arya hitting every hole at significantly shallower depths — the market values ROCK at ~$50M and Arya at just ~$9M. When analyzed using institutional metrics like gram-metres, depth-adjusted economics, and discovery efficiency, Arya screens as roughly 3× cheaper on a normalized basis.

This is the kind of early-stage pricing gap institutions look for. We walk through the numbers, the belt context, the structural model, and why Arya’s hit rate and shallow intercepts may be signaling a much larger system still ahead.

Everyone’s talking about critical minerals, but few are talking about reality. Today Andrew‘s breaking down why the market keeps chasing the shiny headlines while ignoring the real supply crunch forming beneath the surface. From copper to graphite to rare earths, we look at where the real scarcity lies, and why it’s being priced like it doesn’t exist.
