Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the West’s responses to it, have made gold projects located outside Russia much more valuable. It’s a bonus if these projects also have copper and are located in a safe jurisdiction. Jim and Dan recommend this company located in a mining-friendly region of British Columbia and owns one of the most attractive gold-copper acquisition targets in the world.
