  • U.S. Critical Metals Mining Boom: How to Profit & What You Should Know with Analyst Chris Berry
    Jul 20 2025
    “The entire theme undercurrent in this [recent] conference was national defense. We, the United States, are going to re-industrialize because we want to be self-sufficient in critical industries, be they national defense like drones or A.I. or critical materials like battery production, and I would argue that that narrative of national defense has now permeated the junior mining and the mining world as well,” Chris Berry, president of House Mountain Partners, shares in this MSE episode. The discussion with Chris revolves around the U.S. Department of Defense's investment in MP Materials and its implications for the rare earth and lithium markets. Chris highlights the significant shift towards national defense as a driver in the mining sector, the intricacies of rare earth pricing, and the potential of Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE). The episode also touches on the evolving narrative from net zero to national defense and the critical role of public-private partnerships in reestablishing the U.S. as a dominant player in critical metals. Investors will find valuable insight into strategic opportunities and potential profit areas within the USA critical metals stocks. 0:00 Intro 0:36 DOD Investment in MP Materials 5:32 Rare Earth Pricing and Market Dynamics 7:55 Global Rare Earth Supply Chain Challenges 12:28 Opportunities and Risks in Rare Earth Investments 15:22 Lithium Market Insights and Future Outlook 25:46 Oil Super Majors Entering the Lithium Market 27:11 The Role of Major Companies in Lithium Extraction 27:36 Challenges and Promises of Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) 30:43 Comparing Hard Rock and DLE Lithium Mining 32:39 Volatility and Pricing in the Lithium Market 37:25 Opportunities and Challenges in Lithium Refining 45:31 The Impact of AI on the Investment World 47:57 Chris's Background and Services 52:01 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Chris Berry’s website: https://www.discoveryinvesting.com/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Mining Stock Education (MSE) offers informational content based on available data but it does not constitute investment, tax, or legal advice.

    "Each Seabridge Gold Share Represents $9,000 In-Situ Metal, Yet Trades for $16” says CEO Rudi Fronk in this MSE episode. Seabridge Gold presents an extraordinary tripartite value argument to investors claiming to offer: 1) more value per share than any other publicly traded metal producer; 2) the most gold per share of any public company; and 3) more copper per share than any other copper focused exploration and mining company. In this MSE episode, host Bill Powers interviews Rudi Fronk about his mining career, key lessons learned and the investment thesis behind Seabridge. Rudi recounts his early education in mining and finance at Columbia University, the lessons he learned from the multifold challenges faced by Greenstone Resources while he was at the helm, and how these experiences shaped his approach at Seabridge. He emphasizes Seabridge's guiding principles such as avoiding political risk, never building mines themselves, and focusing on gold ounce per share growth. The conversation also delves into two significant near-term milestones for Seabridge, including resolving a nuisance claim and announcing the joint venture partner for the KSM project.

He also provides commentary on recent precious metals and miner price action and discusses how he has managed his portfolio over the past month. David Erfle is a self-taught mining sector investor. He stumbled upon the mining space in 2003 as he was looking to invest into a growing sector of the market. After researching the gains made from the 2001 bottom in the tiny gold and silver complex, he became fascinated with this niche market. So much so that in 2005 he decided to sell his home and invest the entire proceeds from the sale into junior mining companies. When his account had tripled by September, 2007, he decided to quit his job as the Telecommunications Equipment Buyer at UCLA and make investing in this sector his full-time job.
