The recorded presentations for the 2017 Sprott Vancouver Natural Resource Symposium which ran from July 25-27 are now available for purchase at a cost of US $399 for the MP3 Package, which is a bit more than half what delegates had to pay to attend. If you do buy the package, make a point of listening to Byron King's Thursday celebration of "Putin in the Rain" (9:30 am July 27), which shows how far the gold bug crowd has come from the commie bashing days of Barry Goldwater to the recent embrace of authoritarian figures such as Russia's Vladimir Putin. I suppose the next step will be the celebration of North Korea's Kim Jong On who must be driving Donald Trump crazy with envy: the entire population adores him as Dear Leader, absolutely none of the news is fake, there are no immigrants legal or otherwise, on pain of death nobody, even relatives, dares rebuke the leader publicly or privately, the courts always act according to the leader's bidding, pollution is subordinated to the national interest, nobody complains about guns being favored over butter, the military all wear gigantic hats so that they look like pinheads compared to a larger than life leader with a great hairdo, and not a peep about inequality in a nation of skinny people led by somebody who could operate as a stand-in for the hero of King Fu Panda.
I did not see any other talks because I spent my time meeting with companies, but I can recommend the 10:00 am July 27 Exploration Panel featuring Gwen Preston, John Kaiser, Eric Coffin and Joe Mazumdar, all of whom tried to argue that the optionality play on higher metal prices was yesterday's story with the emerging story being discovery exploration. I used that general session to introduce the idea of Novo as the hot new stock to own. For those interested in scandium Sam Riggall's Clean TeQ presentation at 3:40 pm July 27 is also worth catching, if only to see his bittersweet celebration of scandium which nickel and cobalt for the battery market have displaced at the Syerston project. The audio for my workshop at 2:20 pm July 28 (The Size of the Prize) is available, though the slide presentation is not, but you can access it from Kaiser Research Online. The group that filled my workshop room was the only one to get a full version of the Novo story at the Sprott conference. But I did get my Novo buy recommendation out to subscribers through a July 24, 2017 SVH Tracker, and during the conference I did multiple interviews, most of which featured the Novo story and which were published by the producers during August:
On August 24, 2017 Brian Leni, founder of Junior Stock Review, conducted a 28 minute interview in which he asks about my approach to the market and ultimately about the Share Collective. The link above includes an unedited transcript - better to listen to the conversation than read the transcript. The Junior Stock Review is a sponsored web site which attracts traffic in part through interviews with independent parties such as newsletter writers.
On July 27, 2017 Rachel Lee of the Investing News Network conducted an 8 minute interview at the Sprott Natural Resource Symposium in Vancouver where I first talk about the shift to discovery exploration and finish with a discussion as to why Novo Resources Corp may have made a huge discovery.
On July 27, 2017 Shelly Kraft of Stock News Now conducted a 6 minute interview at the Sprott Natural Resource Symposium in Vancouver where he asks about "economic geology" and how I see the Share Collective making it easy for everybody to do "economic geology" when they value junior resource stocks.
On July 27, 2017 Priscila Barrera of the Investing News Network conducted a 20 minute interview at the Sprott Natural Resource Symposium in Vancouver. It starts off with a general discussion about the market and metal trends, at 8:37 I address the shift away from optionality gambling to discovery exploration, at 12:25 Priscila asks if Scandium International is still my favorite stock, and at 13:50 I start talking about Novo Resources Corp as the emerging engine for a major discovery exploration bull market.
Discovery Watch is a weekly 15-20 minute audio show sponsored by HoweStreet.com where Jim Goddard interviews John Kaiser about resource juniors with interesting exploration plays that have caught John's attention. The projects will not be limited to companies he has covered as Bottom-Fish and Spec Value Hunter picks. He will briefly describe each project's goal and its timeline. These projects will generally be exploration plays that have not yet turned into a discovery. The objective of Discovery Watch is to alert audiences to the existence of earlier stage exploration projects before they become big discoveries. Jim and John will periodically circle back to review the outcome. Should one of the projects deliver a discovery Jim and John will monitor that discovery on a more frequent basis. KRO will keep track of projects mentioned through Discovery Watch with HoweStreet.com which will keep a running tab of Discovery Watch projects that includes links to the KRO profile for each company and project.

On August 15, 2017 Jay Taylor published an interview with Quinton Hennigh of Novo Resources Corp which was conducted a few days earlier right after Quinton and I finished dinner following a day in the field in the Karratha region of Australia. The 25 minute interview covers a lot of ground and is an excellent way for newcomers to the Wits 2.0 story to get up to date. Jay asks questions which enable Quinton to describe the scale and nature of Wits 1.0 and how it compares to the Pilbara region (similar but different in terms of an immature, coarser conglomerate host), what is happening locally in the Comet Well-Purdy's Reward area, his raisin cake metaphor for the nuggetty host rock and the sampling problem this poses, the very interesting grade of the "fine" gold in the "tailings" of the recent half tonne bulk sample, the potential of something like the Steinert sorting machine as a future recovery mechanism for the coarse gold in the conglomerate bed, details about the 2,200 m stratigraphic hole CRA drilled 50 km to the southeast through the entire Hamersley Basin into the basement rocks, the remarkable tectonically undisturbed nature of the Pilbara craton, the exploration strategy with regard to outlining a deposit at Comet Well-Purdy's Reward and demonstrating the Wits 2.0 scenario, ongoing acquisitions in the region, and feasibility demonstration work at Beatons Creek.

On July 20, 2017 Jay Taylor interviewed John Kaiser about Novo Resources Corp and the second incarnation of its Wits 2.0 story. The interviewed aired on July 25 as part of Jay's Turning Hard Times into Good Times Radio Show. Jay also writes the newsletter Gold, Energy & Tech Stocks. Jay first initiated coverage of Novo in October 2013 when hopes were high that Quinton Hennigh could prove that Wits 2.0 existed at the eastern margin of the Hamersley Basin in the Beatons Creek area. He stuck with the story even as it became apparent in late 2015 that Wits 2.0 was not present and that Novo would have to settle for developing Beatons Creek as a smallish open pit mine to generate cash flow to fund Quinton Hennigh's other geological dreams. He often asked me to take a look at Novo, and I did enough work to familiarize myself with the story, but because Novo was listed on the CSE until last year I did not spend time on it (I do not have a trade data feed for the CSE and not enough resource companies are listed on it to make the extra effort to include CSE listings in KRO worthwhile, especially since the good ones all eventually end up on the TSXV). But when Novo published its Purdy's Reward news release on July 12, 2017 Jay bugged me to check it out, that this time something was different. I obliged and realized that he was absolutely right and have been ever since running hard to get up to speed on the second incarnation of the Wits 2.0 story. If it turns out that Wits 2.0 is for real, I owe Jay a heap of gratitude. And if it turns out to be what the Germans call a Witz, I still thank Jay because it has been a lot of fun immersing myself in this story.
