JUNIOR MINING STOCKS UNDER A TRUMP ADMINISTRATION: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

 With Trump's win in the recent US Presidential election coupled with experts' opinions, Junior mining stocks that hold interests in critical minerals and precious metals display promising prospects for the near to mid-term future.

The focus on domestic production of critical minerals, in line with Trump's America First policy, opens up substantial opportunities for Junior mining companies in the U.S. and Canada.

The bipartisan approach to critical minerals underscores the necessity of secure supply chains, which could result in heightened investment and comprehensive backing for Junior miners engaged in the exploration and development of these essential resources. Also, expanding tariffs on mineral imports, notably from China, could further drive domestic production.

Uranium explorers and producers, in particular, could see substantial benefits from Trump's support for a U.S. Uranium reserve and his push for more Nuclear energy.

Although there are uncertainties about electric vehicle incentives, the overall demand for battery metals is likely to remain high;  consequently, Junior Miners active in the Lithium, Cobalt, Graphite Manganese, Copper and Rare Earth Elements (REEs) areas, could attract increased interest.

Trump's deregulation agenda could potentially extend to cross-border projects, benefiting Canadian Juniors with U.S. operations or those seeking U.S. investment
The emphasis on securing critical mineral supply chains could benefit Canadian Junior Miners, especially those exploring for battery metals, REEs, and other strategic critical resources for the US Defense industry.

While Trump's "America First" approach prioritizes U.S. production, Canadian miners in all probability benefit due to:

- Canada's abundance of critical Minerals and REEs.
-Existing integration of North American supply chains.
-Canada's reputation as a stable and friendly source of minerals.

Gold and Silver miners may benefit from economic uncertainty and potential inflation concerns associated with some of Trump's proposed policies.

Despite these advantages, potential challenges under Trump's administration include heightened opposition from environmental groups and local communities due to deregulation, resulting in possible project delays or cost escalations for Junior miners.

Investors must stay vigilant of potential challenges and market volatility.
As ever, an in-depth due diligence of individual companies and projects continues to be vital in this sector.

With new tariffs driving up consumer prices and tax policies favoring the wealthy, the United States is experiencing a widening divide between the “haves” and “have-nots.” Are these the seeds of revolution, or simply the latest chapter in the country’s long history of economic cycles? Tariffs and Consumer Prices: The New Tax on Households President Trump’s renewed tariffs in 2025 have quickly made their presence felt in American wallets. According to the Yale Budget Lab , the average U.S. household is experiencing an effective income loss of around $2,000 in 2025 due to the...

CARBON CAPTURE & STORAGE (CCS)

Image
 Climate change remains a defining challenge of our time, and mitigating its effects requires innovative technology and considerable effort. Carbon capture and storage appears as a promising means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions significantly. Let's look at the overall function and potential of carbon capture technology, along with introducing two landmark projects that are set as new milestones in this crucial field. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), as the name suggests, is a technology that seizes carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial and power generation processes. This method prevents emissions from entering the atmosphere, thus contributing to the fight against climate change. Once captured, the CO2 can either be permanently sequestered underground in geological formations such as depleted oil and gas reservoirs, saline formations and/or unmineable coal seams. Also there is the option of converting CO2 into a range of products such as methanol, which could fu...

SOME KEY ASPECTS OF TRUMP’s BIG BILL

Explore the downsides of Trump’s Big Bill: Medicaid & food aid cuts, rising deficits, & tax breaks favoring the rich. Learn how it impacts you! The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates the bill will add approximately $3.3 trillion to the federal deficit over the next decade, with some analyses suggesting up to $3.9 trillion   The legislation includes cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by introducing stricter eligibility and work requirements, potentially reducing access to food assistance for millions of low-income Americans.   According to the CBO, the wealthiest 10% of households would see a 2.3% increase in after-tax income, while the poorest 10% could face a 3.9% decrease due to reduced benefits from programs like Medicaid and SNAP. This makes the bill one of the most regressive pieces of legislation in decades, exacerbating income inequality   A provision in the bill conditions federal broadband funding on states refra...
