 I'm here with Peter Nicholson from wealth W. C. P. D. How are you today? I'm great Tracy. Yeah, having a good PDAC so far. Well PDAC 2024. What are your objectives this year? My objectives this year is probably do well I can't control the bull market that I hope is about to come right. I'm getting tired of this bear market. I've been in charity flows since 2006 and we've really had a difficult time with the markets of course is probably the peak of 212 but just continue to work hard find liquidity providers and keep on talking about our story about being a very efficient way both for the issuers you got a higher premium using charity flow structures and forget the back end the liquidity providers that will hold their stock for long term and not dump it. So we keep on telling that story and it's really resonating. Of course there's I would think there's an increased level of opportunity volume of opportunity with all the latest critical mineral you know legislation. Is there is that just a rumor? No I can tell you I'm living it it is the best thing that's ever happened to the critical mineral companies it's the best thing public relations wise has ever happened in the mining industry in Canada. I mean I had clients that didn't want to participate in a mining flow through because of the past history dating back hundreds of years of where there's environmental disasters or human rights issues and we've had to educate the Canadian investor that it isn't that way. Now what's helped is that of course the government came forward I mean I'm highly biased you're biased we're in this industry but when other leaders of the world whether it's Biden or Trudeau or even the conservative government saying we need 10 times more critical minerals it's the only way to get to zero carbon by 2050 all of a sudden people are positive on mining not maybe not so much on the precious metals but for sure on the criticals the lithium the cobalt the nickel the copper uranium. What you just said right there you know if you were a new investor and you were wanted to take advantage of the critical mineral flow through opportunities what advice would you give for the investor besides call you of course. Well look I think it's a phenomenal opportunity I myself have been buying extras I put another million dollars in in the fall into juniors they're at historic lows by any type of stretch of valuation eventually this market will turn so I think I would be selling my real estate my magnificent seven or at least lightning them up on it and even Bitcoin which I don't quite understand I mean that's we've lost about two generations of investors in the mining business they they haven't really loved mining since my grandfather in the late 70s when gold was loved at that point it was a big part of everyone's portfolios your safety net you had 5 or 10 percent of your net worth in gold and we've kind of lost that investor so we need to educate and bring new blood in new investors in because the old investors we've been in it we've been living in and we've fortunately we've been going down this bear market and it's really eroding away our net worth so if I was a new newbie I would be buying more and I probably focus more on critical minerals although the gold might be a good play as well okay and a favorite province I mean there's different benefits in different provinces Quebec Saskatchewan they seem to have additional bonuses for investing in critical mineral flow through correct in those areas like to comment on that sure well you're you know you're 100% out you're pretty soon you can do my job Tracy you've got a really good handle on it yeah the provinces that are the best in order Quebec is the best because they don't even charge a capital gain when you file a Quebec return half of the money goes to revenue Quebec and half goes to the feds every other province in Canada it all goes to the feds and then the feds will disperse but you're right then we'll be Saskatchewan and Manitoba with a 30 percent provincial credit when it comes to critical minerals and it then would be BC at 20 and then Ontario's at 5 and they everyone else kind of blends together the Alberta in the Atlantic Canada but if you live in those provinces there's our extra incentives for you and it's a little better return and if somebody is new to the industry and they want to learn more where should they go where should they go besides you know Google and artificial intelligence on learning well if you go to our website just to plug ourselves at WCPD stands for wealth creation preservation donation we've got some easy to understand examples of how flow through structure works charity flow through is another word for the flow through structured I just also find you know going to to your site and looking at past interviews when I have time that's what I like to do there's a wealth of information and they're very consistent this you know our time will come all things are cyclical especially in the commodity business and I think this is our turn 2024 and onward well Peter is always it's such a pleasure I hope you enjoy the rest of your pdap okay thank you Tracy great
