GOLD TELEGRAPH CONVERSATION 20:
JOHN CIAMPAGLIA

"If you cut off the supply chain, you literally cripple $6 trillion of the global economy."

In this discussion, John explores the changing role of gold in the international financial system, the remarkable growth of Sprott's physical uranium trust, the global resurgence of nuclear energy, and China's influence over critical mineral supply chains.

We also examine why governments are increasingly treating natural resources as strategic assets, how financial sanctions and geopolitical tensions are reshaping global markets, and whether the world is entering a new commodity supercycle.

John Ciampaglia is the CEO of Sprott Asset Management.

Thank you for joining me, John.
