Mine EX-Plorers — EP52: Smiles Are Back! What AME Roundup & VRIC Say About the Next Mining Cycle

In Episode 52, Crystal and I are back in the studio after I’ve just returned from AME Roundup and the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference (VRIC) — two of the most important events on the global mining and exploration calendar. The takeaway? The mood has changed. AME Roundup brought together geoscientists, exploration executives, and prospect generators from 44 countries, with packed core shacks, nonstop conversations around rocks, and real technical momentum on the floor. VRIC, on the other hand, drew 10,000+ attendees, with investors showing up excited — not frustrated — for the first time in years 💡 In this episode, we talk about: 📈 Why gold and silver hitting all-time highs changed the tone of both conferences 🙂 The return of optimism — more handshakes, more smiles, fewer angry conversations 💰 What current metal prices mean for project economics, resource updates, and feasibility studies 📉 Why volatility is here to stay — and why that’s not necessarily a bad thing 🧠 The disconnect between metal prices and mining equities (and what that signals) 🗺 Growing competition for ground — and why speed, documentation, and good staking matter more than ever 🇦🇺 Why Australian groups are aggressively moving into North America ⚖ The coming pressure on BLM adjudication, claims, and record-keeping as activity accelerates We also talk about how Canada’s national conversation around mining and critical minerals feels fundamentally different than in the U.S. — from government messaging to financial media coverage — and why that matters for capital flows and permitting outcomes This episode isn’t about hype. It’s about recognizing where we are in the cycle, what’s different this time, and how to move forward deliberately in a fast-heating environment. 🎯 Subscribe here:    / @mineex-plorers   👇 Are we still early in this cycle — or already in the volatile middle innings? #MineEXPlorers #MiningPodcast #AMERoundup #VRIC #Gold #Silver #Copper #MiningMarkets #JuniorMining #CriticalMinerals #Exploration #MiningIndustry
