Perhaps ironically, one of the most famous 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse paintings is by a Russian:
- Pestilence (on a White Horse -> COVID !?)
- War (on a Red Horse -> PUTIN !?)
- Famine (on a Black Horse -> HYPERINFLATION !?)
- Death (on a Pale Horse -> TOO LATE !?)

Ukrainian Presidential Office Head Andriy Yermak met with U.S. presidential envoy Steve Witkoff in New York, Yermak said on Friday.
All school and parents’ group chats in Moscow schools will be required to move to Russia’s domestic messaging platform Max at the start of the upcoming school year, Deputy Mayor for Social Development Anastasia Rakova announced on Friday.
The U.S. State Department has approved the sale of up to 3,350 Extended Range Attack Munition (ERAM) missiles and related equipment to Ukraine for $825 million, the Pentagon’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency announced on Friday.
One of the candidates for the post of presidential envoy to Russia’s Northwestern Federal District is reportedly Deputy Chief of Staff Dmitry Kozak, whom the New York Times has described as the “only senior official close to Mr. Putin known to speak openly about his disagreement with the war.”
The frontline in Ukraine’s Donetsk region has been creeping towards Dobropillia for the past 18 months. Located not far from the hotspot of Pokrovsk, this coal mining town has served as a refuge for thousands of displaced people throughout the full-scale war. But in recent weeks, even they have begun to flee. The exodus began after Russia struck the town’s main shopping center with a half-ton bomb on July 16, killing two people and wounding 28 others. When Meduza visited Dobropillia in early August, the remaining residents compared it to a ghost town — and that was before Russian troops pierced Ukraine’s defenses in the area. With Vladimir Putin seemingly intent on seizing all of the Donetsk region and U.S. diplomatic efforts yielding few results, many locals felt the dire situation on the ground left them no choice but to leave, even if they weren’t sure how to get out or where they would go.

Dylan, please give us your most recent background, how you become part of John Robins’ team on Great Bear, and just kind of walk us through that to the ending with Kinross.
Dylan Langille, VP Exploration, White Gold:
Prior to joining White Gold I was most recently involved with the Great Bear project. I joined that team back in January of 2019 on what was supposed to be a one-month contract.

Rackla Metals (TSX.V:RAK) is targeting Reduced Intrusion-Related Gold Systems (RIRGS) mineralization on the southeastern part of the Tombstone Gold Belt in Canada’s eastern Yukon and western Northwest Territories.
The Vancouver-based company started its 2025 drill program in mid-July at the BiTe Zone on the Grad property in the NWT. The original goal of 4,000 meters has been upsized to 5,000m due to encouraging observations in the drill core and surface work.

A major gold breakout nears with big implications for investor psychology. Gold has spent recent months consolidating high, winding tighter in a bullish technical pattern that mostly resolves to the upside. Gold’s resulting new record highs will likely fuel sizable momentum-chasing buying from gold-futures speculators and American stock investors. That will accelerate gold’s gains and a major herd-sentiment shift back to bullish.
Gold’s price action hasn’t proven exciting since early last spring.

The 2024 Global Elections Super-Cycle
Stay tuned for continuous updates on elections around the world. Click on a country for the latest elections data and analysis.
- Number of national elections to be held in 2024 18 of 68
- Overall turnout (based on registered voters) 63%
- Total number of ballots cast in 18 elections 467,094,737
Pulled conclusions from pooled data compilations
Using some of the world’s largest companies by market cap & some of the most quoted indices + two most sung alternatives: data for this millennia where available
- At 134x, Apple is the absolute stock price growth winner; with Amazon at 45x and Google at 32x
- Despite the lack of interest or dividends, gold at 6.6x looks good compared to any other stock or index!
- Barrick Gold on the other hand seems to be poorly correlated to anything including the gold metal itself!?
- But Barrick is the only stock producing negative correlations with most of the indices including a relatively high -0.77 with the Euronext100 index
- If one wast trying to get something totally uncorrelated on purpose- it would be hard to beat: gold and the Euronext100 index at -0.03; or Barrick and the Hang Seng index at 0.04; or gold and Merck at 0.16; or BTC and the FTSE index at 0.19
- Correlation against a basket of indices & alternatives is best in Disney and Google (0.81-0.82), albeit at different growth multiples
- If an average historical P/E is somewhere in the 20x range, then the current S&P quoted average which is in high 30s is as warned high, BUT: only Amazon and Visa seem to be widely out of range (justified by growth in online transactions?), with many below current & historical averages
- In the current world of no interest & no inflation, maybe the higher P/E averages are justified..? For how long, that is a different question…
