“If you take only 1% of the world’s money and move it into gold, you’re going to have gold at over $15,000.” — Pierre Lassonde. In today’s exclusive interview, mining legend and Franco-Nevada founder Pierre Lassonde details his bold case for gold soaring to $17,250, arguing we are in a “life-changing period” where gold is being “re-monetized” within the global financial architecture. He breaks down the simple math of a tiny, stagnant gold market confronting a tidal wave of global capital seeking a safe haven from runaway deficits and unpayable debts. Lassonde also shares why he sees Trump as “the greatest gift for gold,” why he’s suddenly optimistic for Canada, and reveals the “Carpe Diem” philosophy behind his legendary, billion-dollar royalty deals.
