Focusing on the state of the US monetary system and how it relates to gold, he explained that the gold price is poised to rise, which presents strong opportunities in both gold and silver stocks.

‘We are at a critical point where this is a phenomenal investment opportunity,’ Hansen said.

‘The (stocks) that I like the best are the ones that are not only profitably producing, they’re in the bottom quartile (for costs), they’re in good locations, they have good management — and they have exploration projects within their portfolio which if they develop and get it into a mine would double their production in three years or less.’

Hansen’s current favorite companies are K92 Mining (TSX:KNT,OTCQX:KNTNF), G Mining Ventures (TSX:GMIN,OTCQX:GMINF), Aris Mining (TSX:ARIS,NYSEAMERICAN:ARMN) and Aya Gold & Silver (TSX:AYA,OTCQX:AYASF).

Watch the interview above for more on the topics discussed above, as well as the outlook for the US dollar, thoughts on the BRICS nations and the impact of the US presidential election.

Terra also announces that it has received the required permits from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment to conduct its winter exploration program on the South Falcon East Property. These permits allow access to the project lands for a period of three years to conduct exploration activities including, but not limited to, geophysical surveys and diamond drilling. The South Falcon East Project lies 18 km outside the edge of the Athabasca Basin, approximately 50 km east of the Key Lake uranium mill and former mine, approximately 7 km north of the powerline servicing the Key Lake operation.

The winter 2025 drilling program is currently in the final planning and scheduling phase. While the Fraser Lakes B uranium deposit will remain a primary focus of early efforts on the property, Terra has ample additional drill-ready targets along the Way Lake conductor at South Falcon East. This includes the T-Bone Lake area, just north of Fraser Lakes B. The upcoming field program is anticipated to commence in late January to early February and will be executed by Terralogic Exploration Inc. under the supervision of Laura Tennent, Project Manager with TerraLogic Exploration and C. Trevor Perkins, consulting geologist for Terra Clean Energy Corp. The expected budget for this program is anticipated to be $1.5 million funded by Terra as the operator.

South Falcon East Project Summary:

The South Falcon East Project is a uranium exploration project in the southeast Athabasca Basin and covers approximately 12,464 hectares. It lies 18 kilometres outside the Athabasca Basin, approximately 50 kilometres east of the Key Lake Mine. Historical exploration at the South Falcon East Project identified an area of U-Th-REE mineralization at the Fraser Lakes Zone B over an area comprising 1.5 km by 0.5 km along an antiformal fold nose cut by an east-west dextral ductile-brittle cross-structure adjacent to a 65 km long EM conductor.

Qualified Person:

Terra Clean Energy (formerly Tisdale Clean Energy Corp) is a Canadian-based uranium exploration and development company. The Company is currently developing the South Falcon East uranium project, which holds a 6.96M pound inferred uranium resource within the Fraser Lakes B uranium/thorium deposit, located in the Athabasca Basin region, Saskatchewan, Canada.

About Skyharbour Resources Ltd.:

Skyharbour holds an extensive portfolio of uranium exploration projects in Canada’s Athabasca Basin and is well positioned to benefit from improving uranium market fundamentals with interest in twenty-nine projects, ten of which are drill-ready, covering over 580,000 hectares (over 1.4 million acres) of land. Skyharbour has acquired from Denison Mines, a large strategic shareholder of the Company, a 100% interest in the Moore Uranium Project, which is located 15 kilometres east of Denison’s Wheeler River project and 39 kilometres south of Cameco’s McArthur River uranium mine. Moore is an advanced-stage uranium exploration property with high-grade uranium mineralization at the Maverick Zone that returned drill results of up to 6.0% U 3 O 8 over 5.9 metres, including 20.8% U 3 O 8 over 1.5 metres at a vertical depth of 265 metres. Adjacent to the Moore Project is the Russell Lake Uranium Project, in which Skyharbour is an operator with joint-venture partner Rio Tinto. The project hosts several high-grade uranium drill intercepts over a large property area with robust exploration upside potential. The Company is actively advancing these projects through exploration and drill programs.

Skyharbour also has joint ventures with industry leader Orano Canada Inc., Azincourt Energy, and Thunderbird Resources at the Preston, East Preston, and Hook Lake Projects respectively. The Company also has several active earn-in option partners, including CSE-listed Basin Uranium Corp. at the Mann Lake Uranium Project; CSE-listed Medaro Mining Corp. at the Yurchison Project; TSX-V listed North Shore Uranium at the Falcon Project; UraEx Resources at the South Dufferin and Bolt Projects; Hatchet Uranium at the Highway Project; Mustang Energy at the 914W Project; and TSX-V listed Terra Clean Energy at the South Falcon East Project which hosts the Fraser Lakes Zone B uranium and thorium deposit. In aggregate, Skyharbour has now signed earn-in option agreements with partners that total over $41 million in partner-funded exploration expenditures, over $30 million worth of shares being issued, and over $22 million in cash payments coming into Skyharbour, assuming that these partner companies complete their entire earn-ins at the respective projects.

Skyharbour’s goal is to maximize shareholder value through new mineral discoveries, committed long-term partnerships, and the advancement of exploration projects in geopolitically favourable jurisdictions.

Bitcoin surged early in the week before retracting below US$100,000, dampened by a hawkish rate cut from the US Federal Reserve that led to significant drops in both the crypto and stock markets.

Meanwhile, the Nasdaq-100 (INDEXNASDAQ:NDX) welcomed three new companies, and artificial intelligence leader NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) lost ground to networking giant Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO).

Find out what other key pieces of news made headlines in the tech space this week.

1. Bitcoin drops below US$100,000 on Fed cut

Bitcoin surged above US$107,800 this past weekend, fueled by factors like MicroStrategy’s (NASDAQ:MSTR) recent Bitcoin purchases, and anticipation of an interest rate cut from the Fed.

Bitcoin historically performs well in December, and experts are saying that it’s in ‘Santa Claus mode.’

Adding to the excitement, Strike CEO Jack Mallers hinted on Tim Pool’s podcast that the US government may designate Bitcoin as a reserve asset through the Dollar Stabilization Act. Meanwhile, Digital Chamber founder Perianne Boring pointed to the stock-to-flow model on Fox Business, which predicts Bitcoin could hit US$800,000 by 2025’s end.

The cryptocurrency market kicked off the week at a market cap of US$3.9 trillion, up 0.3 percent in 24 hours.

As open interest neared US$70 billion on Monday (December 16), traders eyed figures between US$120,000 and US$154,000 as Bitcoin’s next target based on bull flag pattern and Fibonacci extension analysis.

Despite the bullish sentiment, Bitcoin experienced volatility on Tuesday (December 17). After retaking US$107,500 overnight and climbing to a new all-time high of US$108,135 following the opening bell, its price quickly sank below US$106,000, triggering around US$1.3 billion in liquidations.

This brief pullback confirmed a resistance zone between US$108,000 and US$111,000. Rekt Capital attributed this retracement to a typical pattern seen during price discovery phases.

Bitcoin’s volatility continued into Wednesday (December 18), and it declined steadily before and after the Fed’s meeting. The central bank announced a cut of 25 basis points as anticipated, but indicated that future reductions in 2025 may be less aggressive than initially projected. This shift in approach is attributed to recent economic data suggesting that the labor market is cooling and that inflation is stagnating above the Fed’s 2 percent target.

Chair Jerome Powell also asserted that the Fed is not allowed to own Bitcoin, potentially disrupting President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to implement a strategic reserve when he takes office in January.

This caused significant drops throughout the crypto market, with Bitcoin falling 3.75 percent in the two hours following Powell’s address. This was followed by further declines below US$100,000 on Wednesday evening.

On Thursday (December 19), Bitcoin fell to an intraday low of US$95,700, and the market cap for the crypto sector was down by 6 percent after Wall Street markets wrapped. Ether and Solana recorded losses of over 10 percent, while XRP slid 8.5 percent, reversing gains from earlier in the week ahead of the launch of Ripple’s stablecoin, RLUSD.

Losses extended into Friday morning, with Bitcoin dropping to US$92,245. The fall resulted in a bearish crossover, with over US$1 billion in liquidated positions, according to CoinGlass data.

QCP Capital attributed the losses to overly bullish market positioning and the Fed’s hawkish cut.

After the dip, Bitcoin’s price rebounded and held at around US$97,000 for most of Friday, a strong support zone identified by Glassnode founder Rafael Schultze-Kraft and Bitcoin researcher Axel Adler Jr. Recovery followed US personal consumption expenditures data that showed cooling inflation, easing investor concerns.

2. Micron’s quarterly guidance disappoints

Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) delivered results for its first fiscal quarter of 2025 after Wednesday’s closing bell, showing an 84 percent year-on-year revenue increase for the period.

“Data center revenue grew over 400 percent year over year and 40 percent sequentially, reaching a record level, with data center revenue mix surpassing 50 percent of Micron’s revenue for the first time,” the company said.

However, its guidance for its second fiscal quarter indicates a downshift in sales.

The company’s Q2 revenue guidance is US$7.9 billion, missing analysts’ expectations of US$7.93 billion. Non-GAAP earnings per share are anticipated to be US$1.26 compared to average projections of US$1.97.

“While consumer-oriented markets are weaker in the near term, we anticipate a return to growth in the second half of our fiscal year,” wrote President and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra in a press release.

“We continue to gain share in the highest margin and strategically important parts of the market and are exceptionally well positioned to leverage AI-driven growth to create substantial value for all stakeholders.”

Shares of Micron opened 13.2 percent lower on Thursday morning and hit US$85 shortly after the market opened. The company is ending the week down over 14 percent.

3. Broadcom surges as NVIDIA stumbles

Broadcom continued its upward trajectory this week, fueled by Friday’s rally. It reached a valuation higher than even NVIDIA, which stumbled into correction territory on Monday.

After a mid-week bump ahead of the Fed’s meeting, NVIDIA ultimately fell with the broader market as Powell signaled a hawkish stance, sinking further into correction territory.

While NVIDIA remains a powerhouse with a stellar year overall, Broadcom’s superior gains this month could signal a potential shift in the chip landscape, challenging NVIDIA’s dominance.

Shares of NVIDIA were down 7.67 percent on the month as of Friday afternoon, while Broadcom had gained over 35 percent. Its share price rose by nearly 40 percent following the release of its earnings report last week.

Adding to NVIDIA’s woes, reports suggest China is expanding its scrutiny of the company’s acquisitions beyond the 2020 Mellanox deal, potentially casting a shadow over its future growth prospects.

4. Samsung, Texas Instruments finalize Chips Act deal

Samsung Electronics (KRX:5930) and Texas Instruments (NASDAQ:TXN) are the two latest companies to receive government funding via US President Joe Biden’s Chips Act initiative. The deals were finalized on Friday, with Samsung set to receive up to US$4.75 billion and Texas Instruments getting US$1.6 billion.

While Texas Instruments’ final agreement aligns with an initial deal reached in August, Samsung’s funding was significantly reduced. The company stated that it adjusted its investment plan to improve efficiency and that the incentives were determined through negotiations with the US government, but did not provide specific details.

Texas Instruments’ funding will go toward building new chipmaking facilities in Utah and Texas. They will reportedly create 2,000 new company jobs and thousands more employment opportunities in construction and supply management. Samsung will use its award to expand its facilities in Central Texas.

5. Palantir, Axon and MicroStrategy join Nasdaq-100

Nasdaq (NASDAQ:NDAQ) released its annual list of changes to the Nasdaq-100 on Monday, with data analysis and security companies Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR) and Axon Enterprises (NASDAQ:AXON) joining the index, along with business intelligence and analytics software firm MicroStrategy.

Palantir secured multiple contracts with the US Department of Defense in 2024, while Axon landed a contract with the Canadian government to supply body-worn cameras to the Royal Canadian Mountain Police in November.

MicroStrategy has been in the news this year due to several Bitcoin acquisitions. Over the weekend, the company acquired another 15,350 Bitcoin for US$1.5 billion. The acquisition was finalized on Sunday (December 15), bringing the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 439,000. The purchase was funded through share sales under the firm’s at-the-market program. According to its latest filing, MicroStrategy now has US$7.65 billion remaining.

Bloomberg estimates that MicroStrategy’s inclusion on the Nasdaq-100 will add at least US$2 billion in new stock purchases from the various exchange-traded funds that follow the index.

Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI), on the other hand, saw its share price open over 14 percent lower on Monday following the news that it will be removed from the Nasdaq-100. It closed the week 0.85 percent higher.
