"Editor of Silver Stock Investor newsletter and prominent interviewer at Metals Investor Forum events"

Interviewer

Biography

Peter Krauth is a former portfolio adviser and a 20-year veteran of the resource market, with special expertise in precious metals, mining, and energy stocks. As the editor of Silver Stock Investor, he covers the entire silver spectrum—from physical bullion to major producers to junior explorers—through a monthly newsletter with bi-monthly updates. He also serves as editor of Gold Resource Investor, providing subscribers with actionable analysis on gold market opportunities.

Krauth has become a prominent interviewer and moderator at major industry events, particularly the Metals Investor Forum, where he conducts in-depth discussions with mining CEOs and executives. His interviews feature leaders from companies like Sierra Madre Gold & Silver, Silver Viper Minerals, ESGold, and GR Silver Mining, giving investors direct access to management teams and their project updates. His questioning style reflects deep sector knowledge, pressing executives on exploration results, production timelines, and capital allocation strategies.

Beyond his newsletter work, Krauth is a recognized media commentator featured on platforms including MoneyShow, Investing News Network, Streetwise Reports, and Investor Ideas. He has made notable price forecasts, including a call for silver reaching US$70 by 2026, arguing that the white metal has established a new price floor and will continue setting record highs. His macro thesis centers on overvalued stock markets, looming recession risks, and the resulting breakout potential for precious metals.

Krauth also co-publishes a newsletter focused on the Green Revolution investment theme alongside Gwen Preston, exploring the metals, power, infrastructure, and agricultural inputs driving the global energy transition. This dual focus on both precious metals monetary demand and industrial metals demand gives him a uniquely comprehensive view of the resource sector.

Michael Gross of TruSilver Metals Corp. talks to Peter Krauth | Metals Investor Forum Sept. 2026

Michael Gross of TruSilver Metals Corp. talks to Peter Krauth | Metals Investor Forum Sept. 2026

host Sep 28, 2026
  • Top takeaway The host calls TruSilver 'definitely one to watch' and urges viewers to follow the company's website and news as it prepares to go public.
  • He steers the interview toward the latest drilling results, the listing timeline, the new neighbors on the ground, and the path investors should watch toward a resource.

TruSilver Metals CEO Michael Gross argues the historic Walton silver mine in Nova Scotia may be a small expression of a much larger system. Two deepened holes south of the old workings cut barite (drilling-mud mineral) and siderite, rocks that capped the historic deposit. Lab assays from those holes are delayed by the fall backlog, so an October drill program will test how far the structure runs. Rio Tinto staked every surrounding claim in November, which Gross reads as outside interest in a district modern exploration has barely touched. A qualifying-transaction listing (a TSX-V shell route to market) is with the exchange, and the pre-listing company carries a $10 million market cap.

Todd Williams of Unico Silver Ltd. talks to Peter Krauth | Metals Investor Forum Sept. 2026

Todd Williams of Unico Silver Ltd. talks to Peter Krauth | Metals Investor Forum Sept. 2026

host Sep 25, 2026
  • Top takeaway Peter Krauth conducts the interview, steering it toward the drilling impact on the resource, permitting hurdles, and the 12-to-18-month catalyst outlook.
  • He closes by saying his team will keep watching Unico's development closely.

Unico Silver has assembled a 330-million-ounce silver-equivalent (combined silver and gold) resource across the Joaquin and Cerro Leon projects in Santa Cruz, Argentina. A maiden feasibility study (a mine's detailed technical-economic blueprint) is due in January, with Argentina's RIGI tax regime and mining approvals targeted next year. The guest argues $2 per resource ounce is an explorer valuation, with a hoped re-rate toward $10 to $15 per reserve ounce. Management plans one central processing plant at Joaquin, trucking higher-grade ore roughly 50 kilometers from Cerro Leon over flat, highway-connected desert. Santa Cruz has historically granted full mining approvals in four to eight months, so permitting is a near-term catalyst rather than a decade-long risk.

Jason Webber of Silver North Resources Ltd. talks to Peter Krauth | Metals Investor Forum Sept. 2026

Jason Webber of Silver North Resources Ltd. talks to Peter Krauth | Metals Investor Forum Sept. 2026

interviewer Sep 25, 2026
  • Top takeaway Krauth argues the past year's silver price action has drawn a large new audience to the sector and that the move is merited by silver's demand, many applications, and supply-demand dynamics rather than sentiment alone.
  • Krauth concedes some investors bought silver at prices above current levels and may be disappointed, but he believes this is the right sector at a good time and that the market will last a while.

Silver North's CEO argues brand-new discoveries in Yukon's century-old Keno Hill district show historic silver camps still hide overlooked high-grade veins. Haldane returned 13 meters of 818 grams per ton silver with gold — high grades that can add ounces quickly even in small deposits. Hecla's arrival in the district adds credibility and shared century-old data, and weak drill intercepts can flag high-grade 50 to 100 meters away. At Veronica, the company targets CRD (carbonate replacement) deposits near Coeur's Silvertip mine, using geophysics, soils, and mapping to ground-truth anomalies. Two rigs have drilled since early July with no assays (lab metal analyses) back yet; results from late September into January are the catalyst.

Matthew Allen of Andean Silver Ltd. talks to Peter Krauth | Metals Investor Forum Sept. 2026

Matthew Allen of Andean Silver Ltd. talks to Peter Krauth | Metals Investor Forum Sept. 2026

interviewer Sep 25, 2026
  • Top takeaway Krauth anchors the silver setup by pointing to October 7, 2025 as the day silver broke through $50 after 45 years, then doubled to $100 within three months, and frames the current backdrop as a 'great setup' for the sector.
  • He singles out Cerro Bio as a 'unicorn' project given its combination of existing infrastructure, permits and resource.

Andean Silver grew Cerro Bayo's resource fivefold in two years to 136 Moz AgEq via 60,000m of near-mine drilling, underpinning a 10-plus-year mine life. The restart path targets a Q1 2027 scoping study, year-end feasibility, mill refurbishment by end-2027, and first concentrate in 2028. Existing 500,000 tpa mill, environmental permits and infrastructure make this a capital-light, fast restart versus a greenfield build. An 8-10 km Juanita-to-Droughtmaster exploration corridor, untested for 20 years, could lift the resource beyond 136 Moz AgEq.

SILVER BREAKOUT STARTED? New Bull Cycle Could Be Underway | Peter Krauth

SILVER BREAKOUT STARTED? New Bull Cycle Could Be Underway | Peter Krauth

guest Aug 14, 2026
  • Top takeaway He places roughly 65% odds that silver has begun a new upward cycle off the ~$55 lows, with the metal near $65 as of August 13, 2026, though he remains technically cautious because both gold and silver are still below their 200-day moving averages.
  • He argues silver is in a secular bull still with 5 to 10 years (or more) to run, tends to follow gold and outperform it in bull markets, and views pullbacks like the recent 50%+ drop from $120 to $55 as buying opportunities for investors with conviction.
  • He warns of a 1970s-style three-wave inflation pattern, calling the 2022 ~9% peak only the first wave and arguing the second is starting now, driven by $8T of US Treasuries renewing, a 10-year yield up about 10% since March, a $40T debt and a $2T annual deficit that will push the Fed toward yield curve control and financial repression.
  • He concludes that today's roughly 120% US debt-to-GDP (versus about 35% in the 1970s) rules out a Volcker-style rate hike to kill inflation and could force a CBDC-style currency reset, making hard, non-printable precious metals — money for 5,000 years — an essential hedge against debasement.

Krauth pegs roughly 65% odds that silver has begun a new bull cycle, yet stays cautious because price remains below the 200-day moving average. About $8 trillion of US Treasuries need to roll over the next year, with the 10-year yield already up roughly 10% from its March bottom. Today's US debt-to-GDP of about 120%, versus roughly 35% in the 1970s, leaves the Fed with no room to fight inflation the Volcker way. Krauth expects a 1970s-style three-wave inflation pattern, with a second wave hitting over the next six months and policy drifting toward yield curve control. Miners are framed as a way to amplify silver's upside, with Krauth seeing 5 to 10 years left in the secular bull market.

analyst Jul 30, 2026
  • Top takeaway Predicts that silver will "take off like a rocket" over the next couple of years.

Gold stocks trade cheaper relative to gold than in 2020 or 2016, according to The Gold Advisor's founder Jeff Clark. Metals Investor Forum hosts the inaugural Gold Advisor Network Summit on November 5, 2026 in Vancouver with 15 junior mining companies. Silver analyst Peter Krauth, author of The Great Silver Bull, expects a major silver rally over the next couple of years.

Silver Market: Bear Trap or Bull Run? | Peter Krauth

Silver Market: Bear Trap or Bull Run? | Peter Krauth

guest Jun 10, 2026

Peter Krauth argues silver's current price weakness is a bear trap, setting up for a significant bull run driven by persistent physical supply deficits. Industrial demand for silver, particularly from solar panel manufacturing, continues to grow and compounds the structural shortage in the market. Krauth views the gold-to-silver ratio as heavily favoring silver, suggesting the metal is undervalued relative to gold and poised for a strong catch-up rally.

$300 Silver | Peter Krauth

$300 Silver | Peter Krauth

guest Jun 10, 2026

Peter Krauth argues silver could reach $300 per ounce, driven by a structural supply deficit and surging industrial demand from solar and green energy applications. A persistent gap between mined supply and manufacturing consumption is tightening the physical market, making a significant price revaluation increasingly likely. Investors should monitor the gold-silver ratio and physical premiums as leading indicators for the next major leg up in the silver price.

Why Silver’s Drop May Not Mean the Bull Market Is Over | Peter Krauth

Why Silver’s Drop May Not Mean the Bull Market Is Over | Peter Krauth

guest Jun 8, 2026

Peter Krauth argues silver's recent price consolidation signals a bear trap for late sellers, not a market top, supported by tight physical supply and strong industrial demand. Inflation could reaccelerate in the second half of the year, potentially driving a major capital rotation from overvalued technology stocks back into undervalued commodities. Massive structural demand from China and India, combined with ongoing supply deficits, makes triple-digit silver a realistic possibility over the next few years.
