Josef Schachter: The Oil Super Cycle Could Run to 2036, and Canada Is the Cheap Way to Play It
Mining Stock EducationShow Notes
Josef Schachter has spent 40 years in the Canadian investment industry and runs the Schachter Energy Report. He’s watched energy super cycles since the 1970s, and he joins Bill Powers to explain why he thinks the current one, which began in March 2020, could last until 2034–2036. He covers his WTI forecast of $90 for 2027, why he sees oil going past $150 and eventually $200, the natural gas setup for next winter, and why Canadian producers trading at 2–3x cash flow may be the value play of the cycle.

David Erfle joins MSE for his monthly episode. David explains the pullback in gold and silver, what he heard at the Beaver Creek Precious Metals Summit, why he’s moving into discovery-stage explorers, the Roxmore Resource and SSR Mining deal, and whether the TSX Venture chart is signaling a top. Dave also explains the necessary project economics for him to buy a developer right now.
CEO Richard Osmond explains sponsor Element 29 Resources’ investment value proposition in this episode. Element 29 is a copper explorer in Peru, and its flagship Elida porphyry copper-molybdenum-silver project already has a 321 million tonne inferred resource. Richard says the goal is much bigger. The company wants to double the size of the pit and is targeting a tier-one deposit of more than 1 billion tonnes at about 0.5% copper equivalent, or roughly 5 million tonnes of contained copper. Element 29 is well funded to pursue that goal. It raised about $47 million in 2026, and with roughly $11 million in warrants coming due, it expects a budget of close to $60 million CAD to be spent over the coming years. Support comes from well-respected, strategic investors such as Randy Smallwood, George Brack, Ross Beaty, and Alex Gubbins.
Bill Powers and co-host Brian Leni sit down for their monthly Junior Mining Insights chat to discuss sector sentiment after the Metals Investor Forum and Beaver Creek Precious Metals Summit. Then they cover a range of topics: glossy direct-mail mining stock promotions, why investors should specialize, when management teams should step aside, name changes and rollbacks, short sellers, visible gold in press releases, and why site visits are becoming essential to Brian's process.
Returning guest Sultan Ameerali is a self-directed investor who has significantly multiplied his own capital in junior resource stocks since entering the sector almost a decade ago. Fresh off his second year at the invitation-only Beaver Creek Precious Metals Summit, Sultan shares how he approaches conferences to get real intel, how he uses AI as a "first-year analyst" without giving up human judgment, and the due diligence process behind his recent positions. This episode is less about hot picks and more about building a repeatable, operationalized process with real money at risk.
