Gold Cooled Off, But the Bull Market Isn’t Over. | John-Mark Staude – Riverside Resources

In this conversation with John-Mark Staude, CEO of Riverside Resources Inc. (TSXV: RRI), at the Rule Symposium for Natural Resources 2026 in Boca Raton, we discuss why he sees the recent pullback in gold as a healthy consolidation, why he remains bullish on gold, silver, and copper, and why the January move looked like a “firework” moment that needed to cool off.

John-Mark also breaks down Riverside’s project-generator model, the value created through spinouts like Capitan Silver and Blue Jay Gold, and why the company’s historical dividends and spinouts may not be fully reflected in the share chart. We also get into the next potential value drivers, the Questcorp drilling work in Mexico, Riverside’s royalty-generation strategy, and why rare earths, copper, and gold remain key focus areas going forward
