In our latest report, we outline the main reasons why electricity prices will double in the next 18 months. We also explain how you can lessen or mitigate these affects by using the futures markets to cushion the blow and offset higher costs. Anyone can do it, whether you're buying options, futures or just resource stocks, like oil and gas producers. It's what the big companies have been doing for years. How come Southwest Airlines' profits never seem to get hit by higher jet fuel prices? Simple, it's because they buy their fuel in the forward market when they're trading cheaply. You can do the same. Always have a plan in place for when the government messes up, which they do all the time. www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com

We sat down with Fury Gold Mines’ Chairman Ivan Bebek and CEO Tim Clark for a sponsor update. Fresh from the recent C$11 million marquee investor financing and the Dolly Varden Silver transaction, they were both extremely positive about Fury’s future. Chair Bebek is redefining his role at Fury, leaving the board to become a strategic advisor, so he can devote his expertise to several other companies he helped found. CEO Clark has firmly taken control of the reigns and has big plans for the future. While assay lab results are due in any day, the drills are about to start turning again. Four holes are planned for Eau Claire’s Eastern Extension and three to four holes for the Western Side Hinge. Additional holes will be drilled once more is learned about the sites’ geology. The Percival project, located 14 kilometers to the east, has also been targeted for drilling. Clark believes that there’s great promise here, which was missed by an earlier historic drill program. But perhaps the most compelling case for Fury is its relative undervaluation when compared to its peers. Fury trades at just $29 per ounce in the ground, versus $72 per ounce for similar companies (according to Beacon Securities). At a $105 million market cap, comprised of $56 million in Dolly Varden shares and a large cash position, Fury’s enterprise value is a shockingly low $35 million, making it a true value play. CEO Clark bought shares in the spring and is looking to acquire more. While being a resource investor the past 18 months has been painful, supply shocks are coming and that will be a major driver to the sector, which is why we patiently hold our shares. www.FuryGoldMines.com Ticker symbol NYSE American/TSX: Fury

Tier One Silver’s CEO Peter Dembicki and SVP of Exploration Christian Rios sat down with us for a sponsor update. The excitement was palpable as Peter explained that the company had entered into a community agreement which will allow for exploration of the Ñañohuayco, San Cipriano and Morro Culispata copper-nickel-platinum-palladium-silver prospects. This clears the way Tier One to start surface work and drilling (once the permit is issued). The excitement is clearly warranted. In 2009 an initial 10 hole 1,061 meter drill program by the previous operator intersected 14 m of 2.59% copper, 0.62% nickel, 311 g/t cobalt, 0.3 g/t platinum and 0.55 g/t palladium, making this is a high priority target. . SVP Rios is anxious to get exploration started. Previously, he was involved in the world-class discovery of the Santa Ana and Corani silver-lead-zinc deposits. His decades of Peruvian experience combined with his extensive exploration, mining development and operations background make him a vital part of the team. He observes that, “[Just] 1000 meters has been drilled. We need to continue this. There’s an area which has values up to 44% copper [emphasis added].” There’s no telling how rich and productive Hurricane will become. Peter and Christian are moving ahead quickly; drilling will start shortly and results will then follow. Which is why we’re long-term holders of Tier One shares. www.TierOneSilver.com Ticker Symbols – OCTQB: TSLVF and TSX-V: TSLV

Lawrence Lepard believes that at the base layer the monetary system we have is, is probably the largest single causation of the difficulties that we're facing as a society. And it's really getting obvious and clear right now, as we're seeing these markets blow up, you know, the bond market blow up the stock market, blow up the third bubble in 26 years. Now we have housing. Now we've got the sovereign credit, everything bubble and it's blowing up and the reason it's blowing up as you can't taper a Ponzi and you know, the fed has created a Ponzi scheme with their paper. And they got to either keep printing, in which case it's going to become more worthless or they got to try and stop printing. Good luck on that.
