Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to review the value proposition that has his attention in 3 junior gold and copper exploration stocks, that have put out compelling news in the recent past and that have key alpha growth catalysts on tap in the medium-term.

The companies we discussed in the interview are:

  • BCM Resources Corporation (TSXV: B) – On August 6th the Company announced that diamond drill hole TK20, currently in progress, has encountered over 550 m of strongly mineralized porphyry and intercalated skarn mineralization at its 100% controlled Thompson Knolls project, Utah. Hole TK20 is a vertical drill hole collared 208 m northeast of discovery hole TK8 that intercepted 510 ft (155.4 m) of mineralized skarn grading 0.66% Cu, 0.12 gpt Au, and 7.4 gpt Ag (please refer to a Company news release dated May 24, 2023 for more information). Drilling of TK20, currently at a depth of 4,062 ft (1,238.4 m), is ongoing in mineralized rock.
  • PJX Resources Inc. (TSX.V: PJX) (OTC: PJXRF) – On July 23, 2026 the Company announced the close of the second tranche of their non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of $6.3 million. This financing will allow PJX to focus on two priority discovery opportunities for critical metals and gold in an established Canadian mining district. An initial 4,000 m drill program has commenced to test for a potential Sullivan-style Sedimentary Exhalative (Sedex) critical-metals discovery on the Dewdney Trail Property. At the Zinger Property, prospecting, mapping and surface sampling for gold are underway at the Gar target in advance of receiving permits to drill a potential Reduced Intrusion Related Gold System (RIRGS) for the first time.
  • Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQX: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF) – On Aug. 10, the Company reported assay results that confirm the expansion of the Golden Gate Zone to the Northeast by 320 meters of the previously known gold mineralization on its 100% owned Golddigger Property Golden Triangle, British Columbia. The Golden Gate Zone remains open laterally and at depth.

Dr. Quinton Hennigh, Advisor to Goliath and Strategic Investor commented: “When I spoke with the Company prior to this drill season, they made it abundantly clear that a considerable number of the planned drill holes would test extensions of various lode systems at the Surebet Discovery. Given that there remains exceptional opportunity to grow the systems high-grade gold footprint, I was delighted to hear this. We are now seeing the impact of this strategic decision. Drill hole GD-26-420 encountered a 6.51 g/t AuEq over 5.73 meters across the Golden Gate lode in a position 320 meters northeast of its previous limit. I believe we will continue to see many further drill extensions over the course of the rest of the 2026 and the Surebet Discovery is only going to keep on growing with every drill program.”

Mr. Roger Rosmus, Founder & CEO of Goliath states: “Our team is performing like a well-oiled machine. The goal of this 2026 drilling campaign is expansion and the directional drilling being utilized is paying off with the step outs being successful. The 320-meter step out of Golden Gate to the northeast is one example and nice surprise along the way. It is worth noting the amount of visible gold to the naked eye in the drill holes since we started drilling the Surebet discovery is unique, as well high-grade gold systems are not known to have such large footprints. After over 400+ drill holes have been completed to date the system remains open laterally and at depth. Grass roots high-grade gold systems tend to get challenging to grow them. But Surebet discovery is the opposite, we are challenging the geology and having no problems growing the system with aggressive step outs. The cadence of drill holes getting to the lab for assays is ideal, and we hope to have plenty more assay results throughout the rest of the year and into 2027.”

Maura Kolb, President of Dryden Gold Corp (TSX.V: DRY) (OTCQX: DRYGF), joins us for a comprehensive exploration update at numerous areas of focus across their Dryden Gold District, in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. We touch upon some of the recent news releases returning more high-grade and disseminated gold drill results at the Elora-Jubilee and Big Master areas along new parallel trends, the upcoming drilling at Mud Lake, a new land acquisition expanding the Gold Rock Camp trend, and various teams working on more ground truthing and surface exploration on the Hyndman and Sherridon regional targets.

We start off discussing how this year’s expanded 45,000 meters exploration program that is continuing to build up the high-grade drill results from last year’s drill program, confirming the thesis around the 3 geological deformation faults and folds at the Elora-Jubilee and Big Master trends at the Gold Rock Camp. There are now up to 15 parallel structures that have been delineated along this trend, and more recent results showing the geological model getting more refined.

On July 29th the Company announced recent drill results that confirm the discovery of two new gold-bearing structures at Gold Rock. A new high-grade mineralized structure between Elora and the Big Master gold systems, which was intercepted at 250-500 meters true depth being dubbed “Elora 2”. Like the multiple mineralized hanging wall structures, this new structure has no surface expression. The mineralization is comparable to the brecciated quartz veining found at Big Master. The consistency of the structural setting and mineralization, along strike and at depth, supports the interpretation that this represents a significant mineralized corridor and not merely another hanging wall structure. A second structure was discovered in a single drill hole at the historic Paymaster target. Deeper down-plunge testing is about to commence with a second drill rig will be deployed to continue to fully define the structural controls and high-grade gold footprint at Gold Rock.

We expanded the conversation to review the potential for similar look-alike types of deposits to exist along the multi-kilometer Gold Rock mineralized trend, in a “string-of-pearls” thesis. On July 16th, the Company announced having received the permits to drill the Mud Lake area to test extension targets identified through its 2025 drill program and geological mapping. Surface samples collected on a high-grade shear zone similar to Elora, where a significant fold in the mineralized structure occurs, assayed 93.00 g/t gold. There is also another new area of interest that could be a look-alike zone to the Southwest of the Elora-Jubilee system along this large trend in the Gold Rock Camp.

On July 6th the Company announced that is has entered into an option agreement to acquire 100% ownership of 123 tenured mineral claims known as the Lost Lake Property from Orebot Inc, an arm’s length party. Lost Lake is strategically located in the historic Gold Rock Mining Camp and is surrounded by the Company’s existing claims.

We touch upon the initial groundwork and drilling at the Hyndman regional area, with a lot of follow up work underway based on the exploration results released back on April 21st. Maura reiterated the importance of the large soil sampling and channel sampling programs across their district-scale land package, and how it will inform follow up targeting, when used in concert with geophysical surveys.

Arturo Préstamo Elizondo, Executive Chairman and CEO of Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. (TSX.V: SCZ) (NASDAQ: SCZM) (FSE: 1SZ), joins us for a review of the Q2 2026 production and operational results across their portfolio of 4 producing silver-zinc mines and ore feed sourcing business in Bolivia and Mexico. We also review a few of the key growth initiatives that the company has slated for 2026 across multiple projects.

Q2 2026 Production Highlights

Primary Production Metrics:

  • Silver: 1,573,100 ounces
  • Zinc: 23,240 tonnes
  • Lead: 3,165 tonnes
  • Copper: 337 tonnes

Supplemental Production Metrics:

  • Silver Equivalent Production: 2,814,489 silver equivalent ounces
  • Zinc Equivalent Production: 59,680 zinc equivalent tonnes

Consolidated silver production increased 17% to 1,573,100 ounces in Q2 2026 from 1,341,499 ounces in Q1 2026, with quarter-over-quarter increases at all five operations. Lead production increased 18% to 3,165 tonnes and copper production increased 9% to 337 tonnes. Compared with Q2 2025, consolidated silver production increased 11%, and zinc production increased 10%, on 9% higher consolidated tonnes milled.

The improvement was driven primarily by higher processed volumes, with consolidated tonnes milled increasing 7% to 521,956 tonnes, together with higher silver head grades at Bolivar and Porco and a marked improvement in silver recovery at Zimapan.

At Bolivar silver production increased 32% quarter-over-quarter to 343,522 ounces, driven by ongoing recovery efforts in the areas affected by the localized flooding event that occurred in May 2025. San Lucas processed 22% more ore than in the prior quarter. Consolidated zinc production increased 7% to 23,240 tonnes, driven principally by higher throughput, which more than offset lower zinc grades at Bolivar and Porco. Porco delivered higher silver and zinc production, driven by stronger silver grades and improved metal recoveries, while Caballo Blanco continued to make steady, meaningful contributions.

At Zimapan, operations rebounded from the temporary constraints experienced during the first quarter, including limited ventilation in the higher-grade zones at Level 960 due to a contractor delay in completing the ventilation Robbins incline shaft, as well as repeated power interruptions caused by the local service provider’s maintenance of the power grid. As a result, metal recoveries improved across all four payable metals.

Next we transitioned to future growth, where the operations team is advancing their silver-dominant Soracaya mine towards development and near-term production. There is already a decline ramp into this project with initial stope access in 2 areas, and the plan once the permit is received in Q3 is to get this mine into initial ramp-up production by Q4 of 2026.

Wrapping up, we discussed the potential for future accretive acquisitions in the Americas. The board and management team are open to a currently producing mine or development-stage underground mining assets, but only if the acquisition would be accretive for shareholders and if their team can unlock value in these acquired assets.

If you have any follow up questions for Arturo regarding Santacruz Silver, then please email those to us at Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.

Roger Rosmus, Founder, CEO, & Director of Goliath Resources Ltd (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQX: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF), joins us for an exploration update reviewing the first drill assays returned from their fully funded 2026 drill program, comprised of ~50,000 meters of systematic drilling and utilizing 7 drill rigs, at the Surebet Discovery on the Golddigger Property; located in the Golden Triangle, British Columbia.

35 out of 98 planned drill holes have been completed with a total of 19,931 meters drilled in 2026. All drill holes from the 2026 drill program completed to date have intersected quartz-sulphide mineralization which typically coincide with high-grade gold mineralization.

Expansion drilling will continue to focus on extending the footprint of the Bonanza and Golden Gate Zones to the East and Northeast, as well as expanding the Surebet Zone to the West. Directional drilling consisting of multiple holes stemming from a single ‘mother’ hole is being used on selected drill pads in order to minimize drill time and costs while increasing target accuracy.

Gold mineralization has been confirmed with assays from drill hole GD-26-417 expanding the Bonanza and Golden Gate zones by 540 meters to the southwest. Assays are pending on additional drill holes in these areas that could potentially confirm the expansion of the Bonanza and Golden Gate zones up to 750 meters to the southwest.

Gold mineralization has been confirmed with assays from drill hole GD-26-418 expanding the Bonanza Zone 100 meters to the north and remains open. Assays are pending on additional drill holes in these areas that could potentially confirm the expansion of the Bonanza zone up to 200 meters to the north.

  • Drill hole GD-26-418 had two separate gold mineralization intercepts. The first from Surebet Zone, intercepted 8.09 g/t AuEq over 16.00 m, including 18.39 g/t AuEq over 6.75 meters, including 39.99 g/t AuEq over 1.00 meters and 74.67 g/t AuEq over 1.10 meters in an interval characterized by multiple occurrences of visible gold to the naked eye (VG-NE) hosted in quartz-sulphide stockwork and breccia.
  • The second from Bonanza Zone expansion to the north that assayed 4.42 g/t AuEq over 5.00 meters, including 7.78 g/t AuEq over 2.79 meters, including 23.76 g/t AuEq over 0.90 meters; it remains open.

Gold mineralization has been confirmed with assays from drill hole GD-26-425 expanding the Bonanza Zone 100 meters to the west and remains open. Assays are pending on additional drill holes in these areas that could potentially confirm the expansion of the Bonanza zone up to 200 meters to the west.

This year’s program will be mainly focused on expanding their 5 Main Mineralized Zones at the Surebet Discovery. Much of the focus on these initial holes was stepping out and expanding the Bonanza Zone and Golden Gate Zone. Data compilation and interpretation is underway which will be used to potentially vector in on the indicated Motherlode causative intrusive source to this extensive high grade gold system with widespread VG-NE.

(TSXV: KNG) (OTCQB: KNGRF) joins us for an exploration update where the company reported on July 22nd results from the first assays from its ongoing fully funded diamond drilling campaign, from hole LC-26-013, drilled on the Company’s 100%-owned Las Coloradas silver project in the Parral mining district of the Central Mexican Silver Belt, Chihuahua, Mexico.

Highlights:

  • LC-26-013 (new): 5.20 meters @ 257 g/t AgEq (114 g/t Ag) within a broader alteration zone (130.0–246.9m), including 641 g/t AgEq (425 g/t Ag) over 1.40m (236.55–237.95m) — among the highest-grade silver intercepts reported by Kingsmen to date, and the deepest hole in the Soledad fence.
  • LC-25-010 (previously reported, Sept. 24, 2025): 1.45 meters @ 1,028 g/t AgEq (455 g/t Ag) (190.25–191.70m), including 1,742 g/t AgEq (770 g/t Ag) over 0.70m (190.85–191.55m), within a broader zone of 138 g/t AgEq over 13.35m (64.3 g/t Ag).
  • LC-25-005 (previously reported, January 19, 2026): 15.7 meters @ 74 g/t AgEq (46 g/t Ag), including an upper zone of 704 g/t AgEq (460 g/t Ag) over 0.35m and a lower zone of 1,379 g/t AgEq (848 g/t Ag & 0.87 g/t Au) over 0.6m.

Drill hole # LC-26-013, the deepest hole drilled to date at the Soledad system, intersected significant silver-gold mineralization 54 meters down-dip of previously reported hole LC-25-010, confirming that high-grade mineralization at Soledad continues to grow at depth. Together with previously reported holes, LC-25-005 and LC-25-010, the fence of three holes has now intersected silver-gold mineralization over a minimum of 135 meters of vertical depth, and a new structural target has been identified. Mineralization remains open at depth and along strike. This result demonstrates the continuity of the high- grade silver mineralization and expands the known mineralized footprint.

We go on to discuss some of the key exploration targets at Las Coloradas, based on the various data sets from mapping, sampling, historic data, and surveys flown that their team has compiled in the prioritized targets for this season. The initial follow-up drilling has been testing deeper and stepping out around the historic Mine Target and DBD Target. Additionally, other regional targets like Saddle, Silvia, Leona, Agilera, and La Plata areas will be tested. Then later in the year the company will transition over to drilling a number of targets at their Almoloya Project.

Nick Hodge, Co-Owner of Digest Publishing and editor of Foundational Profits and Underground Alpha, joins us for our monthly longer-format discussion on macroeconomic factors moving the markets, turning up the summer heat in resource stocks coming into August. He also shares portfolio management strategies in select gold, silver, copper, rare earths, and uranium stocks.

We start off reviewing some shifts in macroeconomics movers:

  • A reduction in strength in US Dollar, with the dollar index moving back below 100
  • Recent rolling over of interest rates, which had previously been rising based on anticipated hawking Fed policy from Warsh’s prior meetings and statements
  • Improving US economic data on some fronts may have the Fed in a more neutral position
  • A desensitization of geopolitics around the US/Iran negotiations and the supposed reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
  • US treasury financial intervention to support Japan, staving off their potential need to liquidate US treasuries, or any rapid unwind of the carry trade.
  • Capex investments in AI data-center build-outs are ongoing.

The conversation then transitioned from macroeconomics into recent uplift in gold, silver, and precious metals stocks. Nick is less animated by PM seasonality trends coming out of the Summer Doldrums, pointing to the changes in the US dollar and interest rates as the key factors that have led to this recent sector bounce.

  • He mentioned that this lull in the summer doldrums in both sentiment and weak price action was a common theme from the recent Rule symposium; and conceded that in the later summer, once more investors are back from vacations and more focused on the markets again, that this may bring in more trading volumes and participation.
  • We highlighted the wave of sector news on tap from now into September conference season. All this coming news can provide fundamental catalysts, from compelling Q2 earnings results in PM producers, to key upcoming milestones and studies for developers, and then all the summer drill programs.
  • Nick highlighted PM stocks moving on recent news like Revival Gold Inc. (TSXV: RVG) (OTCQX: RVLGF), Hannan Metals Limited (TSXV: HAN) (OTC: HANNF), San Lorenzo Gold Corp. (TSXV: SLG) (OTCQB: SNLGF), and Osisko Gold Group Inc. (NYSE: OGG, TSXV: OGG).
  • He pointed out that the market is still not rewarding exploration news that shows some geological “smoke” but didn’t hit “fire,” mentioning his portfolio position in Quartz Mountain Resources Ltd. (TSXV:QZM)(OTCQX:QZMRF)
  • There are some companies with he remains animated by for all the coming assay results from ongoing drill programs like Kingsmen Resources Ltd. (TSXV: KNG) (OTCQB: KNGRF)

Next we switch over to the continued strength in copper, making new all-time highs again this week. While we note the strong demand fundamentals, and supply constraints, Nick explains that the influx of copper into the US, and pricing arbitrage compared to London or Shanghai exchanges, may be due to investors positioning in front of potential tariff announcements on copper from the Trump administration.

  • Copper stocks we discuss are Gladiator Metals Corp. (TSXV: GLAD) (OTCQB: GDTRF), Hudbay Minerals Inc. (TSX: HBM) (NYSE: HBM), and Ero Copper Corp. (TSX: ERO, NYSE: ERO).

When reviewing where Nick is seeing the most government focus in the commodities sector, he highlights it is clearly in the Critical Minerals. While multiple sectors from uranium, to lithium, to heavy rare earths have been sold down lately, the supply chain chokepoints outside of China remain, and the fundamentals for these strategic metals continuing to improve.

  • Nick highlights the ongoing direct investment and policy initiatives into the rare earths processors, separators, recyclers, noting prior government investments into Trilogy Metals Inc. (NYSE American: TMQ) (TSX: TMQ), Lithium Americas Corp. (TSX: LAC) (NYSE: LAC), MP Materials (NYSE: MP), and USA Rare Earth, Inc. (Nasdaq: USAR).
  • He flags the recent $725 million financing commitment from the Department of War, U.S. Office of Strategic Capital, for Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) which was approved to support infrastructure and capacity to process rare earth elements and other critical materials domestically.
  • CoTec Holdings Corp. (TSXV:CTH)(OTCQX:CTHCF) is company he remains animated by for similar reasons, due to their exposure to recycling material to extract and produce rare earth magnets and strategic materials. He believes this could attract government interest like is has in the aforementioned companies.

Shawn Howarth, President and CEO of Excellon Resources (TSXV:EXN) (OTC:EXNRF)(FRA:E4X2), joins me to celebrate the key company milestone of first concentrate production at their flagship 100%-owned Mallay Silver-Lead-Zinc Mine, located in central Peru. He outlines all the continued development work building towards the commissioning of the mill, and the steady ramp-up into production growth over the next few quarters. We also review the big exploration focus for infilling mineralization, testing at deeper levels of the mine that have been dewatered, and exploration at near-mine targets.

Highlights:

  • First Concentrate Production: Since restarting on a pre-commissioning basis on July 2, 2026, the Mallay concentrator has operated consistently, processing approximately 12,000 tonnes of material and producing concentrates containing approximately 29,200 ounces of silver, 319,000 pounds of lead and 456,000 pounds of zinc. Initial concentrate shipments are expected in August 2026 with payment to be received during the quarter.
  • Mill Throughput: The Company is targeting a controlled rate of approximately 400 tonnes per day during the pre-commissioning period, providing a sustained operating window for metallurgical optimization during ramp-up.
  • 400 Ramp: The main accessway below the 4090 Level is now dewatered to the point where rehabilitation can begin. Rehabilitation of the 400 Ramp is the next step toward providing access to areas of the Mine below the 4090 Level.
  • Drilling Underway: Three drill rigs are active, targeting confirmation drilling at depth and near-mine exploration. Results will be reported separately.
  • Mine Ramp-Up Underway: Mine activities are advancing through 2026, prioritizing access below the 4090 Level where mineralization is expected to widen. Updated mine planning and scheduling is underway.

We then briefly review the value proposition and optionality across their other 3 projects: Tres Cerros, Kilgore, and Silver City. Shawn points out there will be a lot of news to announce over the second half of this year and into early next year from exploration to operations at Mallay, the spin-out of Silver City, and exploration targeting at Tres Cerros and Kilgore.

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to review the value proposition that has his attention in 4 more advanced junior gold and copper exploration and development stocks, that have put out compelling news in the recent past and that have key alpha growth catalysts on tap in the medium-term.

The companies we discussed in the interview are:

  • Revival Gold Inc. (TSXV: RVG) (OTCQX: RVLGF) – On August 4, the Company reported one of the highest-grade-thickness drill intercepts to date from the Joss area at the Company’s Beartrack-Arnett located in Idaho, U.S.A. This year’s 5,500-meter drilling program at Beartrack-Arnett targeted the potential expansion of high-grade underground sulphide Mineral Resources, last drilled in 2022.
  • Hole BT26-255D intercepted: 3.43 grams per tonne (“g/T”) gold over 131.7 meters drilled width at 543 meters downhole; including a high-grade interval of 6.56 g/T gold over 42.5 meters drilled width at 632 meters downhole, including 11.58 g/T gold over 12.1 meters drilled width1 at 639 meters downhole.
  • Westward Gold Inc. (CSE: WG, OTCQB: WGLIF) – On August 4, the Company announced assay results and mapping interpretations for the first of three trenches completed over the SSD Target (“SSD”) at the Company’s Toiyabe Hills Property in Lander County, NV. The 177-metre trench – part of Westward’s 468-metre program in advance of drilling – was completed near the Roberts Mountains Thrust and five gold zones were identified in the trench (using a cut-off of 0.14 g Au/t); including a significant sub-interval of 13.4 metres of 6.55 g Au/t, within 34.8 metres of 2.84 g Au/t. The ability to produce high-grade gold is a notable characteristic of major systems in the Cortez District.
  • Miata Metals Corp. (TSXV: MMET) (FSE: 8NQ) (OTCQX: MMETF) – On July 29, the Company announced that La Mancha Resource Fund SCSp, a fund advised by La Mancha Resource Capital LLP, has via its subsidiary agreed to upsize its previously announced strategic investment in Miata accordingly. La Mancha will purchase, through a non-brokered private placement, 32,390,229 Shares at a price of C$0.41 per Share for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately C$13,279,994, to maintain its pro forma strategic investment of 19.9% of the Company.
  • Red Canyon Resources Ltd. (CSE: REDC | OTCQB: REDRF | Frankfurt: I91) On July 30, the Company announced the completion of the initial phase of its planned 2,500 metre diamond drill program at its 100% owned Osiris copper–gold project in central British Columbia, originally announced on June 8, 2026. Follow-up plans include testing additional, recently upgraded drill targets.
  • The Company has completed eight drill holes totalling 2,079 m at the Camp target within the Osiris Project.

Dave Erfle, Founder of the Junior Miner Junky, joins me to review the latest price action in the precious metals sector, his technical outlook, major support thresholds, and the historical cycles keeping long-term investors grounded. We also delve into why he recently added 3 new gold names to his retirement account, and key lessons learned from 3 heavily-weighted JMJ portfolio positions.

Key discussion points:

Precious Metals Could Be Building A Base For The Next Leg Higher: Gold, silver, and the PM stocks have essentially held at key support, and quit going down, with selling exhaustion showing up in the summer doldrums. It could be that the PM sector is just beginning to emerge from a multi-month correction within a larger secular bull market.

Technical Levels To Watch On The Gold Sector ETFs: An analysis of key weekly support and resistance levels on both GDX and GDXJ. Dave also points to the longer-term historical peaks for consideration, and even what price levels he considers the “all clear” threshold on if they are obtained.

Rotating Oil Profits Into 3 New Gold Positions: Dave shares that a few weeks back he cashed out some well-earned oil stock profits, and rotated them into 3 stocks within his personal retirement account (not the same as the Junior Mining Junk Portfolio). We review the fundamental reasons, and importance of having a solid watchlist to pull from.

  • Alamos Gold Inc. (TSX:AGI; NYSE:AGI)
  • Perpetua Resources Corp. (Nasdaq: PPTA) (TSX: PPTA)
  • New Pacific Metals Corp. (TSX: NUAG) (NYSE-A: NEWP)

Learning Lessons From 3 Key JMJ Portfolio Positions: We discuss how his due diligence evolved on the projects, key recent catalysts, quality management teams, key stakeholders, jurisdiction diversification, share structure, and more on these heavily weighted portfolio positions.

  • Montage Gold Corp. (TSX: MAU) (OTCQX: MAUTF)
  • AbraSilver Resource Corp. (TSX: ABRA) (OTCQX: ABBRF)
  • GoGold Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) (OTCQX: GLGDF)

Jonathan Egilo, President and CEO of Axo Metals Corp. (TSXV: AXO), joins us for a comprehensive re-introduction to this gold, silver, and copper exploration and development company, focused on advancing and developing their San Antonio project in the state of Sonora, Mexico down the pathway towards production.

We start of discussing the acquisition of the San Antonio Gold Project from Osisko Development Corp back on January 27th, which was transformational for the company. The total resources at San Antonio stand at 576koz gold (Au) and 1.37moz silver (Ag) grading 1.20 g/t Au and 2.9g/t Ag in the Indicated category, with 544koz Au and 1.76moz Ag grading 1.02 g/t Au and 3.3g/t Ag in the Inferred category across all deposit types (oxide, transition and sulphide).

Jon points out that higher gold and silver prices today will allow for a lower cut-off grade, which will grow the resources. Additionally the company has been conducting infill drilling, but is now stepping out with drilling to expand the know resources. The company will be updating and releasing a Mineral Resource Estimate along with a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) later in the year.

Axo Metals announced on July 27th that the Mexican Federal Environmental Department (“SEMARNAT”) has issued a positive decision approving the Environmental Impact Statement (“Manifestos de Impacto Ambiental” or “MIA”) for the San Antonio gold project located in the State of Sonora. This landmark environmental permit approval validates the merits of the San Antonio project, and grants the primary authorization required for the construction and operation of the mine.

Jon highlights that the team is hard at work on metallurgical testing, engineering work, and assessing what will equipment will need to be added to expand the heap leach pads and get back into production next year. After the resource update and PEA is out later this year, it will help crystallize the detailed engineering and capex needed, which is modest, considering all the brownfield infrastructure already in place from prior operations.

Axo’s second project is the La Huerta property, a new copper discovery in Jalisco, Mexico. Initial exploration has yielded high-grade copper both at surface through sampling programs, and at depth through initial drilling. The Company is focused on continuing to define near-surface mineralization along the La Huerta Trend, expanding mineralization at depth, and targeting new discoveries in an underexplored district.

If you have any questions for Jon regarding AXO Copper, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.

Glenn Jessome, President & CEO of Silver Tiger Metals (TSX.V:SLVR) (OTCQX:SLVTF), joins me for a visual construction update of the surface heap-leach mine; with commissioning and first pour targeted for December, 2027; at the El Tigre Silver-Gold Project in Sonora, Mexico. We review the work already completed, the work yet to come, the future advancement of the underground mine at El Tigre, and the exploration program around the historic North Tigre Mine that is underway.

Key construction updates at El Tigre:

  • Build out of Mexican engineering and construction team is nearing completion with a total of 166 persons on site and 100,000-man hours logged since start of construction
  • Detailed engineering by Kappes, Cassiday & Associates (“KCA”) and Kappes, Cassiday del Norte S de RL de CV (“KCN) pursuant to the Engineering Procurement and Construction Management Contract (“EPCM”) for the Project is proceeding on schedule
  • Procurement on long lead items is complete, including crusher plant, conveyer and stacking system, and the Merrill-Crowe plant and refinery
  • Land clearing, and flora/fauna management for the total construction area is 60% complete
  • Installation of construction offices has been completed
  • Engineering for improvements to the 46 km road built from Colonia Morelos to El Tigre is complete. The contract to improve this road has been awarded and work has begun, with 25% of road improvements complete
  • The major earthworks contract has been awarded for the heap leach, ponds and crusher platforms and these earthworks have commenced
  • Comision Federal de Electricidad (“CFE”) have granted access to grid electrical power for the El Tigre Project
  • Long lead items such as crusher, conveyor, stacking and Merrill-Crowe have been ordered.
  • Mine commissioning and first pour on track to commence in December 2027.

We discussed the larger growth plan to keep advancing the derisking and development of the underground mine at El Tigre, moving the economics from the current Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) to a PFS, and some of the synergistic advantages of having a large build team and engineers on site for the surface heap-leach mine, that can then transition over to working on the underground, reducing down some of the assumed upfront capex in the PEA.

Additionally, the Company is now expanding the scope across their district-scale land package, and has been conducting exploration drilling targeting the high-potential vein systems north of the main El Tigre area, near the historic North Tigre Mine. This priority zone aligns directly with the El Tigre North Mine Design outlined in Section 24 of the Company’s recently filed PEA (dated January 20, 2026). First results will start being released to the market in the months to come.

If you have any follow up questions for Glenn regarding Silver Tiger Metals, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.

Seven interviews, seven very different catalysts. Q2 Metals (TSXV: QTWO) is riding high-grade lithium hits into a fully-funded summer drill program. Troilus Mining (TSX: TLG) just got fast-tracked by the Quebec government on permitting. Cerrado Gold (TSX.V: CERT) posted a big production jump and just added years of mine life next door. Sitka Gold (TSXV: SIG) locked up 100% of a property sitting on a 2+ million ounce gold discovery. Summit Royalties (TSX.V: SUM) just armed itself with a $50 million war chest for its next deals. Silver Storm Mining (TSX.V: SVRS) is shipping concentrate again after its restart. And Novo Resources (TSX: NVO) is stepping up drilling on some very promising gold targets in Western Australia.

Full breakdowns (and where to listen) below.


Q2 Metals – A Lithium Project That Keeps Getting De-RiskedWinter assays just wrapped, and the drill bits haven’t stopped turning.

  • High-grade spodumene hits over wide intercepts closed out the 10,000-meter winter program at Cisco
  • A fresh 20,000-meter summer campaign is now underway, targeting infill, resource conversion, and expansion all at once
  • With a PEA coming this fall and roughly $75M in the treasury, the whole program is fully funded through the next set of catalysts

Listen: Q2 Metals — De-Risking the Cisco Lithium Project


Troilus Mining – Quebec Just Put This Project on the Fast TrackGovernment backing doesn’t get much more direct than this.

  • Troilus was selected as one of the first projects to benefit from Filon, a new Quebec government initiative designed to speed up permitting for strategic mining projects
  • 70 MW of hydroelectric power is now secured for the project through Hydro-Québec
  • Detailed engineering is fully mobilized, with 40+ bid packages already out for tender across major process equipment and infrastructure

Listen: Troilus Mining — Engineering, Hydro Power & the Filon Initiative


Cerrado Gold – Production Jumped, and the Mine Life Just Got LongerThe numbers moved in the right direction, and a well-timed acquisition adds even more runway.

  • Q2 production came in at 15,415 GEO vs. 11,437 GEO a year ago, with H1 production up to 28,257 GEO
  • The newly acquired Falcon Properties could extend heap leach operations and add new mineable material quickly
  • Full-year guidance of 50,000-60,000 GEO is holding, while a legal win in Portugal keeps the Lagoa Salgada project on track

Listen: Cerrado Gold — Q2 2026 Operations & Exploration Update


Sitka Gold – Full Control of a Multi-Million-Ounce DiscoveryThey just bought out their partner on the property doing all the heavy lifting.

  • Sitka has moved to acquire 100% of the Clear Creek Property, home to the Rhosgobel discovery and its 2.25 million ounce inferred gold resource
  • A massive 60,000-meter drill program is underway in 2026, with 45,000 of those meters dedicated to Clear Creek alone
  • The RC Gold Project now hosts 1.29M oz indicated and 3.83M oz inferred gold, and it’s still growing

Listen: Sitka Gold — 100% Acquisition of Clear Creek & Exploration Update


Summit Royalties – $50 Million Just Landed for the Next DealsA war chest built for exactly this moment in the royalty cycle.

  • A new credit facility with National Bank of Canada opens up US$25M immediately, with an accordion feature that can push total availability to US$50M

This weekend’s KE Report dives deep into the gold market’s extraordinary run through the eyes of generalist investors and traders. We explore what’s driving the bull market in PMs and trading strategies for those invested in the metals and equities.

Chief Investment Officer Peter Boockvar explains why gold’s move isn’t a “fear trade” but part of a global currency realignment, while fund manager Dana Lyons breaks down how to manage profits, hedge risk, and identify the next sectors poised to lead.

Segments

  • Segment 1 & 2 – Peter Boockvar, Chief Investment Officer at OnePoint BFG Wealth Partners and author of The Boock Report on Substack, explains that gold’s surge past $4,000/oz is being driven by multi-year central-bank buying and de-dollarization (with rising ETF inflows), not “safe-haven” fears. He also highlights silver’s catch-up potential and tight supply, improving margins for gold/silver miners, copper’s constructive setup amid disruptions, a contrarian-bullish view on oil & gas, growing government interest in critical minerals, and the importance of watching for parabolic tops.
  • Click here to follow Peter at The Boock Report on Substack
  • Segment 3 & 4 – Dana Lyons, fund manager and editor of Lyons Share Pro, wraps up the show assessing the sharp pullback in precious metals on Thursday. We discuss trading strategies he is using – urging against chasing, advocating trimming “windfall” gains at Fibonacci/technical levels (with GLD support near 330), and favoring redeployment into emerging relative strength. He notes his risk models remain bullish, is watching uranium/nuclear, and recently added exposure to biotech and Ethereum while using broader-market hedges rather than sector shorts.

In this Daily Editorial (Fri, Oct 10), Marc Chandler, Managing Partner at Bannockburn Global Forex and editor of Marc to Market, unpacks China’s post-holiday policy salvo and what it means for markets, AI supply chains, and resource equities. We cover how export restrictions on rare earths and processing tech, new EV battery curbs, and port levies on U.S. ships raise the stakes – and why the U.S. response could entrench a longer, messier standoff.

Key Discussion Highlights What China just did (and why it matters): Tightened export controls on rare earths and processing know-how; added limits on EV battery tech; announced special levies on U.S.-flagged cargo calling at Chinese ports – an escalation that targets chokepoints rather than finished goods. * Semis vs. rare earths – who has leverage? The U.S. tried to corner advanced chips; China is signaling control over inputs (rare earths, high-performance magnets) that feed chips, defense, and electrification. * AI growth at risk: If rare earth processing and magnets get squeezed, it reverberates through data centers, networking gear, and robotics – potentially clipping a major slice of U.S. growth attributed to AI investment. * Market reaction and setup: Dollar strength faded; Nasdaq/S&P rolled over after fresh highs; meanwhile, U.S.-linked rare earth names caught a bid as investors handicap supply-chain reshoring and strategic stockpiling. * Policy path from here: Tariffs vs. talks – what skipping APEC signals; why “first-mover” domestic processors may see sustained support; the transparency problem when governments take equity stakes. * Beyond rare earths:* Where China’s vertical integration and scale may pressure next (think pharma ingredients), and why Western timelines (3–10 years) make near-term substitution challenging.

Alex Langer, President and CEO of Sierra Madre Gold And Silver (TSXV: SM) (OTCQX: SMDRF), joins me to review the details of a planned two-stage expansion at its La Guitarra silver-gold mine complex located in Estado de Mexico, Mexico. Additionally, production is ramping up at the higher-grade Coloso mining center, where dewatering and underground development are underway. Mining has also just commenced at the Nazareno Mine, and ties into the overall expansion plans at the overall La Guitarra mining complex.

Alex discussed how the recent C$19.5 million financing is being deployed in part to purchase additional equipment and implement improvements at the mine to reduce costs and increase production grades and volumes in the near-term. These planned expansions would increase the site’s nameplate processing capacity by 50% to a range of 750 dry tonnes per day (“tpd”) to 800 tpd by Q2 2026. The site is currently operating at a rate of 500 tpd. This first expansion would involve the construction of a paste fill and thickener plant, the addition of a fourth ball mill and second cone crusher as well as an increase in the conveyor circuit’s material handling capacity.

Subsequently, construction of a new, fully permitted, Dry Stack Tailings Storage Facility and addition of a second crushing circuit would increase processing capacity to a range of 1,200 tpd to 1,500 tpd by Q3 2027. The Company currently has access to the capital to complete these expansions, which we anticipate funding from the Company’s treasury and cash flow, eliminating the need for further near-term capital raises.

We get into the higher-grade ore which will be sourced from both the Coloso and Nazareno Mines to augment the material from the La Guitarra Mine, and the ramping up of this blended material will raise the grades and recoveries of gold and silver, as well as start lowering costs over the next few quarters.

Wrapping up we discuss the preparations and early targeting work underway to engage in a significant exploration program at the East District concessions, which will include a drill program of over 25,000 meters. The property hosts 8 different past-producing mines, with the first 2 priorities being to explore around the El Rincon and Mina de Agua mines.

If you have any questions for Alex regarding Sierra Madre Gold and Silver, then please email them to me at either Shad@kereport.com.

In this KE Report Daily Editorial, we’re joined by Joel Elconin, Co-Host of the PreMarket Prep Show and Founder of the Stock Trader Network, to discuss market dynamics amid the ongoing U.S. government shutdown and missing economic data.

With key reports like jobs and inflation delayed, Joel outlines what’s driving markets in the meantime and what could shift sentiment once data resumes.

Key Discussion Highlights:

  • No data, no problem? Markets remain steady despite a lack of government reports, with momentum trades and algos leading the way.
  • Earnings season ahead: Big banks kick things off next week, followed by mega-cap tech and retail – with expectations running high given lofty market levels.
  • Tariffs and guidance: Companies may use tariff uncertainty to lower expectations, but actual impacts appear limited so far.
  • AI & government stakes: A new phenomenon – the U.S. government taking positions in tech, healthcare, and resource companies – fueling strong rallies but raising sustainability questions.
  • Sector rotation: Homebuilders slump despite easing rates; value stocks and healthcare catching bids as mega-cap tech momentum fades (except Nvidia).
  • Retail & Robinhood: Retail traders remain dominant. Robinhood’s expansion into prediction markets could drive another wave of activity if pattern day trading rules are eased.

Recorded on October 7th, 2025: Sean Brodrick, Editor of Wealth Megatrends and contributing analyst to Weiss Ratings Daily, joins us to outline why he still remains bullish and holding positions in gold, rare earths, antimony, uranium, and oil stocks.

Gold is now above $4,000 and we’ve started to see a little profit taking in the gold equities this week, and many technical indicators point to the sector starting to get overbought. Despite the many calls for a pullback, we point out that with so many people waiting on the sidelines to buy any dips, that there may not be as big of a protracted or deep correction as many have been waiting for. Sean has been holding most of his PM positions for some time, but added a few new gold names right after attending the Precious Metals Summit in Beaver Creek in early September. While he’s up nicely in those with his subscribers, he wishes he’d have kept buying even more throughout last month as they’ve continued to ratchet even higher here into the early part of October.

Next we got into the blistering rally higher that we’ve seen in some of the rare earth stocks on the back of Chinese export bans sending prices skyrocketing, and with the US government bringing more attention to the downstream processors with a strategic investment into MP Materials Corp. (NYSE: MP). This has really ignited a further boom in the sector where Sean wants to be invested with companies like Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU); (TSX: EFR), a U.S. producer of rare earth element oxides from their mineral sands projects, and USA Rare Earth, Inc. (Nasdaq: USAR), that have a compelling development project and domestic mine-to-magnet supply chain approach that may be able to attract some of those government funds earmarked for this sector.

This brought up a larger discussion on positioning in the critical minerals sector, where another metal of focus for Sean has been in antimony. He’s got some exposure through gold companies with antimony credits, but also mentioned United States Antimony Corp (NYSE:UAMY) as a stock that has been a big winner for him and his subscribers. US Antimony is another company that has received government funds for development of domestic critical minerals projects.

The trends higher in nuclear and uranium stocks have been another sector that Sean has been exposed to for some time, and that he feels still has a lot of potential to keep moving higher. With regards to the uranium stocks, he is positioned in US and Canadian producers and developers, including Energy Fuels that was aforementioned. When discussing a company we met with at the PM Summit in Beaver Creek, enCore Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: EU) (TSXV: EU), it brought the discussion to the potential for US producers to be consolidated, and if most of them were rolled into a larger entity if it would qualify as a monopoly. Sean is not as animated by uranium exploration companies until we see significantly higher prices, because there has already been plenty of uranium delineated by exploration work in past cycles that is still in the ground.

Wrapping up we shifted over to traditional energy with the oil and gas stocks, where Sean is considering selling some of them, to put more focus on the critical minerals sector, but is still going to keep holding some of the better oil producers that pay him to wait with solid dividends. We consider whether this could be a contrarian area to follow more closely in the commodities sector.

Fresh off another record-breaking week for precious metals, Cory Fleck and Shad Marquitz dive into the numbers behind this historic rally and what it means for valuations, exploration plays, and investor strategy going forward.

Key TopicsHistoric run: Gold has surged past $4,000/oz, rising seven straight weeks and up nearly 20% since late September. GDX and GDXJ have both outperformed gold, up over 120–140% YTD, while silver has gained roughly 50% in the last four months.

Valuation discipline: With miners flying, Cory and Shad unpack how to assess value at these levels – using economic studies, considering NPV sensitivity, realistic spot price assumptions, and peer comps by deposit size and jurisdiction. They also flag red flags in “financial engineering” where low CapEx hides high sustaining costs.

Exploration risk & reward: Exploration money is flowing again, but investors should stay selective. In today’s bull market, 300–400 gram-meter hits are the new standout threshold. Companies chasing multiple targets have the best odds of a true new discovery win.

M&A reality: Global deal value is up 15% this year to $1.1T, but mining takeovers remain concentrated among majors and mid-tiers. Not every junior will be bought – teams that can build mines should outperform those just waiting for takeouts.

Portfolio strategy: After nine straight up weeks for GDX, Cory and Shad emphasize taking partial profits, managing concentration, and rotating some gains into other resource sectors. Trim into strength – and always have a plan beyond “waiting for a buyout.”

Stocks / ETFs mentioned: GDX, GDXJ, SILJ, EQX.TO / EQX (Equinox Gold), GMIN.TO (G Mining Ventures)

In this KE Report Company Update, Jon Ward, CEO of Corcel Exploration (CSE:CRCL – OTCQB:CRLEF), joins us to discuss the company’s next steps at its Yuma King Project in west-central Arizona. Corcel recently released historical drill results as it finalizes targets and prepares for a Phase 1 drill program.

Key Discussion Highlights:

  • Project Overview: The Yuma King Project covers 3,200 hectares of BLM claims in Arizona, hosting the historic Yuma King Mine, which produced nearly 8,000 tons between 1940–1963, yielding ~500,000 lbs of copper at grades around 2.65% Cu.
  • Historical Drilling: Roughly 3,900 meters across 21 holes were drilled in 2006 and 2011. The standout intercept – 45.7m of 0.78% Cu and 0.5 g/t Au (1.1% CuEq) – was near surface, confirming shallow, high-grade copper-gold skarn mineralization.
  • Exploration Strategy:Corcel plans a mix of confirmation and step-out drilling around the historic workings, supported by recent drone magnetic surveys and rock-chip sampling. These have highlighted new skarn extensions and possible porphyry targets at depth in the Yuma King West and Three Musketeers areas.
  • Upcoming Drill Program: The company is finalizing permits with the BLM and expects to begin a ~2,000-meter, 8-hole drill program, combining shallow skarn tests with a few deeper holes to probe potential porphyry systems.
  • Infrastructure Advantages: Excellent access via highway and graded roads, close proximity to the town of Parker, and on-site water availability from the historic flooded mine make logistics straightforward.
  • Valuation & Market Positioning: With a market cap of roughly C$6 million, Corcel trades at an early-stage valuation despite the project’s advanced groundwork and copper-gold exposure. Management expects increased market attention as drilling begins amid rising metal prices.

In this KE Report Daily Editorial, we’re joined by Dave Erfle, Founder and Editor of The Junior Miner Junkie, to discuss gold’s breakout to $4,000/oz on the futures market, what it means for investors, and how to navigate potential corrections in precious metals equities.

Key Discussion Highlights:

Gold at $4,000: Gold futures closed at $4,002, achieving the long-discussed target. Dave explains how this “sell-the-news” reaction triggered weakness across gold equities (GDX, GDXJ) and silver, which remains volatile but in a firm uptrend.

Overbought but strong:
After seven consecutive weekly closes above the upper Bollinger Band, the gold-stock sector is due for a cooling period. Dave highlights support levels near $3,750 and $3,500 in gold and why geopolitical turmoil and debt pressures will likely limit downside moves.

Stock selection over timing: While a sector correction may loom, Dave stresses that high-quality juniors remain deeply undervalued, often trading at $20–$30/oz in the ground versus producers’ record margins. He reveals he’s still buying selectively, especially pre-PEA stage juniors with strategic partners and strong financing.

Developers taking control: Many mid-tier and silver developers are now self-financing projects and hiring build-ready teams – showing intent to construct rather than wait for takeovers. Dave cites examples like Vizsla Silver (TSX.V:VZLA) and AbraSilver (TSX.V:ABRA), both well-funded ahead of definitive studies.

Timing the Lassonde Curve: Dave discusses holding through the construction-to-first-pour phase, the “second wave” of the Lassonde Curve where re-ratings often occur, citing Montage Gold (TSX.V:MAU) as a standout 10-bagger in his portfolio.

Silver’s massive setup: Silver’s 45-year cup-and-handle breakout has Dave especially bullish. He’s positioned in 14 high-torque silver juniors, seeing potential for an explosive move as silver plays catch-up to gold’s long-term breakout.

Jeff Phillips, President of Global Market Development, and an activist investor in the junior resource space, joins us to review the benefits of investing in the prospect generator business model in some of his positions; while still maintaining other positions in pure explorers. He goes on to unpack the value proposition in 4 different prospect generators that he holds in his portfolio, after participating in various private placement financings. We also get more perspective on how Jeff evaluates opportunities in mining stocks and the types of management teams and share structure that he likes to see to participate in their financings.

Jeff has been involved in the natural resource space for the last three decades, and is a large strategic shareholder of over a dozen junior companies, and still a significant shareholder in a number of other mining stocks that he helped finance. Jeff also serves as a technical consultant and advisor to several of these companies in the junior resource space, working on improving their messaging to the marketplace, roster of investors, and liquidity. Even though he doesn’t do many public-facing interviews or write in widely followed publications, Jeff is one of the most influential and well-respected people in the business. You’ll often see him hard at work at mining conferences, doing his due diligence and connecting people to one another.

The companies we discuss in this interview are:

  • Headwater Gold (CSE: HWG) (OTCQB: HWAUF)
  • Almadex Minerals (TSX-V: DEX) (OTC: AAMMF)
  • Kincora Copper (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC)
  • Latin Metals (TSXV: LMS) (OTCQB: LMSQF)

Gold and silver have extended their historic run, with gold up 8 of the last 9 months (~50% YTD) and silver up over 60% YTD. Meanwhile, the mining ETFs (GDX, GDXJ, SIL, SILJ) have posted massive gains – GDX up 125% this year. Craig Hemke, founder and editor of the TF Metals Report, joins me to break down why this move is not parabolic speculation but part of a recurring pattern – and why miners may just be getting started.

Key Topics

Breakout structure: Gold’s fourth major breakout in two years follows the same rhythm — multi-month consolidations followed by 15–20% surges. Craig explains why the late-August breakout fits that roadmap and how far it could extend into year-end.

Silver’s acceleration: Structural supply deficits, record industrial demand, and a FOMO-driven futures trade are propelling silver toward its prior highs. Craig outlines why $49–50 may trigger a short consolidation before a push into new territory.

Miners’ earnings leverage: With record quarterly average prices for gold and silver, falling energy costs, and strong margins, miners are set for spectacular Q3 results. Craig highlights why mid-tier, low-AISC producers offer the best torque and why developers remain undervalued on a per-ounce basis.

Flows & valuation reset: Even 1% of the $20 trillion combined market cap of the “Mag 6” mega-caps could buy the entire GDX ten times over. A small rotation into miners could rewrite valuation norms as ETF and fund flows broaden across the sector.

Macro backdrop: With the U.S. government shutdown delaying data and upcoming CPI/PPI releases, markets remain focused on the Fed’s next move. Craig also points to ongoing currency debasement, de-dollarization, and central-bank buying as key tailwinds for gold demand.

Investor playbook: Why “buy-the-dip” behavior persists, how to identify quality producers with low costs, and why the absence of 2011-style M&A suggests this bull market still has room to run.

Stocks / symbols mentioned: GDX, GDXJ, SIL, SILJ, CDE, FNV, WPM

Kimberly Ann, President, CEO, Executive Chair of Lahontan Gold (TSX.V: LG – OTCQB: LGCXF), joins us for a comprehensive update on this Nevada gold explorer and developer, with 2 million ounces of gold at their flagship Santa Fe Project and an upcoming drill program at their satellite West Santa Fe Project.

We start of focusing on the Company’s flagship Santa Fe Project, including the updated Resource Estimate, advantages of all the brownfield infrastructure as a prior producing mine, the ongoing work to improve metals recoveries, and update the economics, and where future drilling and resource expansion is planned once those permits come back in. The company is aggressively pursuing development of Santa Fe to get it into production by 2027.

The West Santa Fe Project, is a satellite project very near to the Santa Fe Project that was picked up 2 years ago, and it next in line for exploration once a drill rig can be put on site in the near future. Their exploration team hopes to delineate a few hundred thousand more near-surface oxide resources that could supplement the main Santa Fe development plans.

Wrapping up we have Kimberly share her background in the resource sector along with the other Co-Founder and VP of Exploration Brian Maher, and then get into the financial health of the company and key strategic shareholders.

If you have any follow up questions for Kimberly and her team at Lahontan Gold, then please email those into us at Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kerepor.com.

In this KE Report Company Update, I chat with Rob Carpenter, President & CEO of Prospector Metals (TSX.V:PPP – OTCQB:PMCOF – FSE:1ET), following the company’s discovery hole announced October 1st at the ML Project in the Yukon.

Hole 31 intersected 13.9 g/t gold and 1.9% copper over 44 meters, including a higher-grade core of 21.8 g/t gold over 24 meters.

This hole confirmed a brand-new discovery, dubbed the TESS Zone, located beside the North Vein Zone. Both zones were intersected by the same hole – just one of two holes drilled in this area during a 39-hole, 6,648-meter program.

Key Discussion Points:

  • Discovery details: How Hole 31 revealed multiple stacked mineralized zones and parallel structures.
  • Targeting strategy: Use of LiDAR and WorldView satellite data to pinpoint blind mineralization near surface.
  • Follow-up results: Hole 32 assays pending, with more from the Bueno, Scarn Ridge, and other zones coming soon.
  • Next steps: Plans to triple next year’s drill program with three rigs testing expansion, parallel zones, and new targets.
  • Company focus: Rob emphasizes Prospector’s mission to discover and monetize high-grade deposits.

This weekend’s KE Report dives into two overlooked corners of the resource market. First, we sit down with Brian Leni, who shares why rotating profits from precious metals into copper, nickel, and undervalued juniors is the contrarian play. Then we shift gears with Josef Schachter of the Schachter Energy Report, who outlines why oil and natural gas remain sluggish today but could be setting up for a major multi-year rebound.

  • Segment 1 & 2 – Kicking off the show is Brian Leni, founder and editor of Junior Stock Review, who recaps the Metals Investor Forum and makes the contrarian case for rotating some profits from the hot precious-metals trade into undervalued copper and nickel. Focused on copper stock analysis he stresses bottom-up analysis over EV/lb shortcuts, the primacy of infrastructure/jurisdiction and major-partner backing for capex-heavy projects, cautioning against small early-stage hype.
  • Click here to visit the Junior Stock Review website to keep up to date on what Brian is investing in
  • Segment 3 & 4 – Josef Schachter, founder and editor of the Schachter Energy Report (and author of Eye on Energy on Substack), also hosting the Catch the Energy conference in Calgary on Oct 18. He outlines why oil and gas are soft near-term (seasonality, rising OPEC/Kurdistan supply, resilient U.S. output), expects WTI to test $57–59 before recovering toward the $70s next year and potentially $80+ in 2026, sees nat gas improving with winter and LNG Canada, and favors dividend-paying names, selective small caps, and M&A opportunities after a further washout.

John Darch, Chairman and Director, and Ken MacLeod, President and CEO of Sonoro Gold Corp (TSXV: SGO) (OTCQB: SMOFF), both join me to introduce the Cerro Caliche Gold Project, and the exploration and development initiatives to move it into open-pit production within 12 months of receiving their final permit in Mexico.

This 1,400-hectare property confirms a broadly mineralized low-sulphidation epithermal vein structure and over 25 northwest-trending gold mineralized zones along trend and near surface. With only 30% of the property’s identified mineralized zones drilled and assayed, the Company filed an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) in March 2023 based on a total 55,360 meters of drilled data, including 498 drill holes, 17 trenches and assays for 53,865 meters of the drilled data.

In October 2023, the Company filed a new Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) demonstrating the potential viability for a 9-year open pit, heap leach mining operation. Using a gold price of US $1,800 per ounce, the project has an after-tax net present value discounted at 5% (“NPV5”) of US $47.7M and an Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) of 45%. Using a gold price of US $2,000 per ounce, the project has an after-tax NPV5 of US $77M and an IRR of 63%.

John and Ken review the potential for resource expansion, the bench strength and experience of the management team and board, the financial health of the company, the strong inside ownership and backing with even a private unsecured loan, and the plan to grow exploration and resource expansion through the organic revenues generated once the mine is put into production.

If you have questions for John and Ken regarding Sonoro Gold, then please email those into to me at Shad@kereport.com.

Sean Brodrick, Editor of Wealth Megatrends and contributing analyst to Weiss Ratings Daily, joins us to unpack the post-election “Trump Trade,” which has been strong buying in cryptos, crypto stocks, tech stocks, and large US equities, but conversely strong selling in gold, silver, commodities, and resource stocks. We also discuss renewable energy and nuclear energy trends, as it relates to policies under question now from the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.

We start off reviewing the correction and consolidation seen over the last 2 weeks in gold, silver, and the PM stocks, and why Sean could see a corrective move in the yellow metal back down to $2475. He explains why he sold many gold and silver equities last week to pull profits, and rotated more funds into Bitcoin via the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and crypto related stocks like MicroStrategy Inc (Nasdaq: MSTR) and Marathon Digital Holdings (NASDAQ: MARA) to keep riding that trend higher. This leads to a discussion on the dynamics around gold versus bitcoin, and the different drivers for each. Sean points to 3 key factors in policy changes and company adoption of cryptos that has been bullish for that sector, but also makes the case that despite the corrective move in gold, silver, and the PM equities, that he still believes there is far more upside left in the ongoing precious metals bull market medium to longer-term.

The conversation then pivots into the opportunities Sean is seeing in US equities, particularly in online finance and fintech with ETFs like Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF (BLOK), and companies like Block, Inc. (NYSE: SQ). Additionally, Sean remains constructive on large companies and mega-cap tech stocks that can weather the higher for longer interest rates, like Nvidia, Amazon, and Alphabet/Google.

Next we discuss how the Trump administration has been vocal about revoking portions of the Inflation Reduction Act targeting funds for renewable energy, critical minerals, and even nuclear power. Sean believes sectors like wind and solar energy may indeed languish, for a number of reasons, but is far more bullish on the uranium equities and nuclear power stocks. We wrap up with a nuanced discussion on the importance of having a diversified investing approach and how Sean approaches his own diversified portfolio.

Chad Peters, President and CEO of Ridgeline Minerals (TSX.V:RDG – OTCQB:RDGMF), joins me to unpack the key takeaways from the high-grade gold assay results for core hole SW24-006, at the Swift gold project, currently being operated under an exploration earn-in agreement with Nevada Gold Mines (“NGM”). We also outlined other value drivers at that Selena Project being optioned to South32, as well as updates at the Black Ridge, and 100% owned Big Blue Projects, all located in Nevada.

Drillhole SW24-006 is the first of up to three deep core holes planned for the 2024 program and was drilled to a total depth of 918.2 meters (“m”). The hole was designed to test favourable carbonate host rocks along the projection of the Mill Creek thrust fault, a significant structural control and conduit for gold mineralization at Swift. SW24-006 returned a highlight intercept of 1.1m grading 10.4 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”) within 2.7m grading 7.0 g/t Au starting at 676.3m downhole. Next we discussed the significance of hole #7 being drilled, stepping out 1km from hole #6, but also only 300 meters away from hole #3. NGM is exploring using a framework approach to mineralization and structure, searching for large Carlin-style deposits. Nevada Gold Mines is also doing some earlier-stage ground work at Black Ridge, gearing up for a drill program next year.

We wrap up by reviewing the 2025 exploration plans for the 100% owned Big Blue Porphyry Project, and also the Selena Project as South32 continues to option into the Project, where next will see drilling on 4 different projects.

Chris Temple, Editor and Publisher of the National Investor, joins us to for a longer-format nuanced discussion on the US equity markets, US dollar, gold, and the real health of the economy, after this week’s Republican party sweep in the elections, and after the Fed has just cut rates again in November as anticipated. We get into many different areas of the economy, potential paths forward, and hard decisions and proposed solutions that will need to be considered as we roll into 2025.

We start off discussing the Trump trade rally we saw in US equities, and curiously the US dollar post election results and Fed rate cuts, but yet a selloff in gold and the precious metals sector as the uncertainty of the election results and outlook on geopolitical tensions have now eased some. Chris gets into a number of initiatives that the new Trump administration will need to consider to navigate the challenging setup with stickier inflation and even stagflation expected if tariffs are implemented, how tax cuts must be balanced with real, but dubious, budget cuts, and reflecting back on different points in history looking for analogs to this kind of macro backdrop we are facing moving forward.

Chris lays out potential pitfalls and potential solutions that are on the table, if this administration has the will to enact them, and unpacks a potential infrastructure fund proposed that would bypass the Federal Reserve, and dependency on greater and greater central banking debt.

Frank Callaghan, President and CEO of Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. (CSE:GCC) (OTC:GCCFF), joins us to introduce this exploration company focused at their flagship Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine, in the Cariboo Mining District of British Columbia.

We start off getting a broader sense of how the company came together and their team’s past success in this mining district, and how their geologists vectored in on exploring for gold at the greenstone belt contact zone at their Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine. The exploration team has already drilled 19 holes, of which 15 assays have been released to the market, and is going to continue on drilling year-round, with a small break for the holidays and any frigid winter temperatures. Much of the drilling has been testing the approximately 1km area between the Main Zone and Halo Zone, and earlier this week some groundwork and soil samples show prospectivity for future drilling stepping out about another 1km. There is a strong geophysical signature helping out with targeting, that also extends on to their neighbor’s, Osisko Development’s land package, pointing to the potential of district scale mineralization.

Michael Williams, Founder and Executive Chairman of Aftermath Silver Ltd. (TSXV: AAG) (OTCQB: AAGFF), joins me to introduce the vision behind this exploration company focused on expanding and derisking the silver, copper, and manganese mineralization at their flagship Berenguela Project in Peru, and secondary Challacollo Silver-Gold Project in Chile.

We start of diving into the asset and polymetallic silver, copper, and manganese components contained in the current resources in both the Measured and Indicated as well as Inferred mineral categories. We then get into the nuances as far as how the processing would be envisioned producing silver dore, copper cathodes, and then high-purity manganese crystallization as end products. This ties into their infrastructure advantages being near both road and rail at the Project.

The company is currently drilling to increase confidence in the mineralization and move some of it up in categories from inferred into indicated in the upcoming resource estimate update slated for Q1 of 2025. The next key milestone after that will be the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) slated for later next year, where it will incorporate economics around all the metallurgical testing, mine planning, and updated resources. We also discuss the experience and bench strength of the management team and board, as well as the key strategic shareholder in Eric Sprott.

If you have any questions for Michael regarding Aftermath Silver, then please email them in to me at Shad@kereport.com, and we’ll get them answered directly, or in future interviews.

Graham Richardson, CFO of Faraday Copper (TSX.V:FDY – OTCQX:CPPKF), joins us to provide an exploration update from 2 high-grade wide-intercept drill holes at the new Banjo Breccia discovery, in the American Eagle Area, at the 100% owned Copper Creek Project in Arizona. The Copper Creek Project already has a 4.2 billion pound copper resource, and all of the ongoing drill results from this Phase 3 program are going to be going into a new resource estimate and updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) in 2025.

  • Drill hole FCD-24-070 was the discovery hole for the high-grade Banjo breccia and confirms significant mineralization above the American Eagle underground resource.
  • Drill hole FCD-24-070 intersected 117.90 metres (“m”) at 1.01% copper and 1.87 grams per tonne (“g/t”) silver from 323.52 m, including 15.89 m at 2.15% copper and 2.48 g/t silver from 390.00 m. This intercept is within 269.65 m at 0.64% copper and 1.32 g/t silver from 229.49 m.
  • Drill hole FCD-24-073 intersected 117.83 metres at 1.12% copper and 2.43 g/t silver from 298.00 m. This intercept is within 259.98 m at 0.68% copper and 1.57 g/t silver from 205.00 m.

Graham discussed how this near-surface mineralization ties in with all the other breccia mineralization delineated thus far that would be amenable to open-pit mining, and that further at depth there are still the porphyry areas at Keel and American Eagle that may be more of a future underground opportunity.

We then pivoted to all the regional drilling still planned in this expanded Phase 3 exploration program, where a 2nd drill has been added to test the Rum target, Horse Camp target, and to do more follow up drilling at the new Area 51 discovery, which was identified in the Phase 2 drill program.

James Anderson, CEO of Guanajuato Silver (TSX.V:GSVR – OTCQX:GSVRF), joins us to review the move higher in gold to new all-time highs again this week, along with silver breaking back above the $32 level; and what this means for the expanding margins of precious metals producers. We also get a brief operational update on their 4 producing silver-gold mines and 3 processing facilities in central Mexico. The Company saw record revenues in Q2, and while they are on track for another solid Q3, they are looking forward for the new equipment and personnel changes that the company has invested in to really start showing up in the Q4 metrics this year.

The Company produces silver and gold concentrates from the El Cubo Mine Complex, Valenciana Mines Complex, and the San Ignacio mine; all three mines are located within the state of Guanajuato, which has an established 480-year mining history. In addition, the Company produces silver, gold, lead, and zinc concentrates from the Topia mine in northwestern Durango. The operations team is also augmenting material at the Cata processing facility in Guanajuato with ore from both the historic Horcon Mine project, located in the state of Jalisco, and from stockpiles at the Pinguico mine. This effectively means they are seeing production from 6 of their mines, even though only the 4 primary mines have active ongoing underground mining.

We have James discuss the balance between investing in future growth while also making significant strides in paying down outstanding debt. He highlighting the news from September 19th, which announced the complete repayment of its US$7,500,000 silver and gold pre-payment facility to Swiss-based precious metals trading firm, OCIM Metals & Mining S.A. On the growth side of the equation, we reviewed the potential for continued optimization of their existing mines, exploration upside across their property, and the possibility of more acquisitions regionally to further consolidate their assets in Guanajuato.

Sean Brodrick, Editor of Wealth Megatrends and contributing analyst to Weiss Ratings Daily, joins us to outline the various opportunities that he is seeing in the junior mining stocks, as gold, silver, and uranium keep moving higher. We unpack some of the fundamental drivers in the precious metals, but then discuss the opportunities he sees in the mid to small junior gold and silver producers and developers; and why he is still steering clear of the earlier-stage exploration stocks. Sean also points out that he is even more animated with the opportunities presenting investors in the silver stocks over the gold stocks, and what type of silver stocks he is most interested in. Wrapping up we discuss the big rebound we’ve seen in the uranium stocks during the month of September, after a few rough corrective months prior to that, and why he is still longer-term bullish on the whole uranium sector.

Shane Williams, President and CEO of West Red Lake Gold Mines (TSX.V:WRLG – OTCQB:WRLGF), joins me to review some its ongoing worksite activities as the Company advances towards its goal of a targeted mining restart in 2025, at its 100% owned Madsen Mine located in the Red Lake Gold District of Northwestern Ontario, Canada. We start off discussing the news released to the marketplace September 4th, where the Company provided updates on a number of different initiatives geared towards further derisking the Project, and towards building operational readiness.

Tailing Storage Facility Dam LiftA tailings dam lift project got underway in early August. Increasing the dam height by 4 metres will create enough additional tailings capacity for 10 years of operation, assuming a milling rate of 800 tonnes per day.

Connection DriftThe Connection Drift is a 1,200-metre haulage way being driven to connect the East and West ramps of the underground mine at Madsen. These ramps, with independent portals, were not previously connected, resulting in substantial inefficiencies in moving mined material to the mill.

Dewatering To Access Lower Parts Of The Mine

We discussed that there is opportunity to extend the limits of known mineralization at the Madsen mine to depth. The neighbouring mines operated by Evolution Mining currently mine down to 3000 metres; by contrast, resources at the Madsen Mine have been defined down to only 1200 metres. Multiple historic drill holes that returned notable mineralization from downplunge of the defined resource underscore this potential. And parts of the defined resource, including the 8 Zone that carries the highest grades of the resource areas at Madsen, are below the current water level. Water dropped below the 13 level of the mine in early July. Mining areas in the first few years of the restart plan are all above the 12 level.

Primary CrusherThe Company is pleased to report a procurement deal with Powerscreen of Canada, a dealer for Terex Corporation, for the purchase of a primary crusher. Delivery is expected in October. The electric primary jaw crusher plant (model CRJ3042) reduces rock from 19.6-inch feed size to 4-inch or less. The crusher can process 145 tonnes of rock per hour. The mill at the Madsen Mine has a nameplate capacity of 800 tonnes per day.

Work Force Accommodations and Mine Site FacilitiesWest Red Lake Gold has placed a purchase order for mine site accommodations and a Mine Dry facility for the Madsen Mine. The Company understands the commitments of remote work and wants to ensure that workforce accommodations are of top quality and provide a home away from home for its employees. West Red Lake has partnered with Horizon North to provide 114-person accommodations and mine dry facilities for the Madsen mine site.

Test Mining and Bulk Sample Program

One further element of derisking was announced in news on Sept. 19th, where a test mining and bulk sample program is now underway at the Madsen Mine, adding a key derisking component to the efforts being made to prepare the mine for a targeted restart in 2025. Shane highlights how this process will provide data and experience that are invaluable in mining, and help to reduce dilution and increase operational efficiencies.

We also reviewed again that the previous operator had ongoing reconciliation issues between the mined ore and the milled ore at the Madsen Mine made, but further review has shown they had made significant mistakes building the mine and mill, which are fixable. During a mine clean-up process earlier this year, it really helped their team understand the technical flow better and also addresses that they’ll be able to solve many of the reconciliation issues between mined and milled ore upon a development and mine restart scenario. The next big step in this understanding and economics around the project will be in the Pre-Feasibility Study, due out by the end of this year.

We kick off the discussion by elaborating on the two new copper-gold discoveries, at the West Goodspeed and Northwest Expo areas. The focus then shifts to the Northwest Expo area, where an initial resource was released in March of this year, that is more gold dominate. This area alone can transform the economics of the project, presenting new opportunities and strategic directions.

On the corporate strategy front, Sam addresses how the company is managing its resources while expanding the high-grade areas to enhance project economics. The discussion touches upon how NorthIsle is positioning itself to attract major partners to move forward the resource base and drill the large Pemberton Hills target.

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to discuss how the derisked junior gold stocks are presenting the most amazing valuation disconnects that we’ve ever seen. We start off talking about just how divorced many junior precious metals economic studies are with their “base case” metals price assumptions, from where the spot gold and silver prices actually are at present. This begs the question of a what a fair base case metals assumption is for PM projects, and if companies and analysts should be doing a better job of comparing these projects at values closer to spot pricing. We heard for so many prior years in lower metals price environments that we had to deal in the real and value companies based on current metals prices, but now that gold and silver prices are substantially higher, it seems those same people don’t want to value the projects based on where metals prices are in the here and now. The gold producers are going to demonstrating what the actual metals prices can do to their margins in the quarters to come.

In a sea of companies using far too conservative of metals price assumptions in the $1,400-$1,700 levels, we laid out a few companies I sat down with at the Beaver Creek PM Summit that actually did provide both reasonable base case metal price assumptions on their development projects at $1,800-$1,900 gold and $23-$25 silver, but then also provided metal sensitivity data for levels more in alignment with current metals prices at $2,500 gold and $30 silver; like Thesis Gold Inc (TSXV: TAU) (OTCQX: THSGF), Vista Gold Vista Gold Corp. (TSX: VGZ) (NYSE: VGZ), and Skeena Resources Limited (TSX:SKE)(NYSE:SKE). Some also provided data for the upside potential at $3,000 gold and $35-$36 silver. In these examples these projects are valued in the current market caps of the companies at a large discount to where the net present value of the projects come in between the $2.3-$4.4Billion ranges. This just demonstrates how backward-looking the current valuations are on many of these developers and the potential for a sector-wide rerating in many of these derisked projects with defined ounces in the ground and solid economic studies in place.

Wrapping up this lead the conversation in the topic of M&A and if merger or acquisition transactions for these companies at 30%-50% premiums was anywhere close to enough to get a proper valuation multiple on these projects. We may very well see future M&A transactions at much higher premiums if these companies and projects don’t start getting re-rated higher to close the value arbitrage.

Shawn Khunkhun, President and CEO of Dolly Varden Silver (TSX.V:DV – OTCQX:DOLLF), joins me review the first high-grade silver drill assays returned from the 2024 exploration program at the Chance and Moose Veins along the Kitsault Valley Project; located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia, Canada.

Highlights include:

  • Moose Vein – Drill Hole #DV24-387: 977 g/t Ag over 5.00 meters, including 3,670 g/t Ag over 0.79 meters
  • Chance Vein – Drill Hole # DV24-388: 206 g/t over 23.03 meters, including 597 g/t Ag over 1.40 meters and 749 g/t Ag over 0.50 meters

Shawn outlined that presently three rigs are drilling across the Kitsault Valley Project with roughly 10,000 meters and 30 holes completed or in-progress thus far, in the larger 25,000 meter program. The exploration team got their earliest start yet this season, with drilling having commenced in May; which may allow for more meters to be added to the drill program as this year progresses.

Shawn then speaks to the pedigree and combined knowledge of the geological and technical team at Dolly Varden, that has been guiding all this exploration success. We touch upon the advantages of their understanding of the geological model, leading to a thesis that many of these separate deposits may end up being connected at depth into a larger system. In addition to the quality of the project, and the high-grade nature of the silver and gold mineralization, Shawn outlines that this precious metals focus, distinguishes the company from many other silver companies that actually have far more exposure to base metals like lead and zinc. We wrap up discussing the jurisdiction, tight capital structure, and key strategic shareholders with Dolly Varden Silver.

If you have any follow up questions for Shawn about Dolly Varden Silver, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com and we’ll get those questions addressed by management, or covered in future interviews.

Fabi Lara, Founder and Publisher of The Next Big Rush, joins me for a deep dive into the bullish fundamentals for the uranium market, but also how those don’t necessarily have to correlate with individual uranium stock trends. We point out that even if there is a solid bull case for uranium in the medium to longer-term, which should bode well overall for the sector, that often times the uranium equities can still have a bear case running in tandem. This can be for many reasons due to company specific fundamentals, or exploration misses, jurisdictional risk, or from too much equity dilution.

Fabi shares how she is positioning in different stages of uranium companies from producers and near-term producers, to developers and explorers, and some key considerations for investors to make when investing in this sector. She also points out that for some investors, that don’t have the time to do the necessary due diligence, that just getting exposure to the physical metal trends or a basket of stocks through the various ETFs may be a better place to start.

We do talk about a number of different uranium stocks throughout the conversation including: Cameco (TSX: CCO; NYSE: CCJ), Kazataprom, Global Atomic (TSX: GLO) (OTCQX: GLATF), Denison Mines (TSX: DML) (NYSE: DNN), enCore Energy (NASDAQ: EU) (TSX.V: EU), Energy Fuels (NYSE: UUUU) (TSX: EFR), Ur-Energy (NYSE:URG)(TSX:URE), UEC (NYSE: UEC), Atha Energy (TSX.V: SASK), Stallion Uranium (TSX-V: STUD) (OTCQB: STLNF), Skyharbour Resources (TSX.V: SYH) (OTCQX:SYHBF), Cosa Resources (TSXV: COSA) (OTCQB: COSAF), Aero Energy (TSXV: AERO) (OTC Pink: AAUGF), F3 Uranium (TSXV: FUU) (OTCQB: FUUFF) , and IsoEnergy (TSXV: ISO) (OTCQX: ISENF).

Dave Cole, President and CEO of EMX Royalty Corp (TSX.V: EMX) (NSYE: EMX), joins me for a comprehensive update on their distinguishing value proposition in the royalty space, a number of copper, gold, and critical minerals partner project updates, a number revenue-generating pre-production royalties, a review of Q1 financials, and the balance between further paying down debt in tandem with buying back Company shares.

We start off discussing the multi-prong approach of generating revenues from existing properties optioned off to other operators, and then creating royalties, in addition to buying royalties in the market when the right value accretive dynamics are in place. At present EMX Royalty has 6 producing royalties and around 50 other royalties bringing in revenues from defined pre-production payments, option payments, and gate payments.

Next we discussed the substantial copper exposure and incoming cashflows that EMX has coming in from both the Caserones Project in Chile operated by Lundin Mining, and the Timok Project in Serbia operated by Zijin Mining, and as cornerstone generational assets. With regards to the producing gold royalties, Dave first outlines how the Gediktepe Mine in Turkey is throwing off great revenues from gold, but then will be transitioning to a polymetallic deposit in the years to come. Then he also outlines the stable gold production and long-life asset in the Leeville Mine in Nevada, operated by Nevada Gold Mines (the JV between Barrick Gold and Newmont Mining).

This leads into a broader discussion about how important it is to have quality operating partners on the royalty projects; leading us into a few more partner updates with South32’s $2.16Billion at the polymetallic Peake deposit on the Hermosa Taylor Project in Arizona, and the development-stage copper-iron-gold Viscaria project in Sweden, operated by Copperstone Resources.

We then shift over to reviewing the 44 other pre-production royalties that are still generating revenues via lease-option payments, stage-gate payments to advance properties, advanced minimum royalty payments, and that come in by way of cash and often times shares in partner companies. We do a brief review of Q1 financials and strength of the company, as well as have Dave break down the balance between paying down debt with buying back company shares, since the company is still trading below it’s net asset value.

Wrapping up we discuss the synergistic relationship between EMX Royalty and Franco-Nevada (FNV) where not only are they the new lender of choice for their recently announced $35 Million Loan, that clears out the prior Sprott loan, but Franco-Nevada has an investment stake in EMX, has syndicated royalty purchase agreements together in the past, and there is an ongoing joint venture partnership to acquire earlier-stage gold and copper royalties sourced by EMX.

If you have any questions for Dave regarding EMX Royalty Corp, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.

Rebecca Hunter, VP of Exploration at Forum Energy Metals (TSX.V:FMC – OTCQB:FDCFF), joins me to review the news released on June 25th announcing the 10,000 meter diamond drilling program at their 100% owned Aberdeen Uranium Project, in the Thelon Basin, Nunavut. Forum plans on drilling approximately 8,000 meters in about 25-30 drill holes, largely within the Tatiggaq anomaly, as well as drilling approximately 2,000 meters and 10 drill holes on other highly prospective regional areas, like the Ned, Bjorn, and Qavvik targets.

We discuss what was learned in last year’s more limited drill program, after their uranium discovery reported on hole TAT23-002 that intersected 2.25% U3O8 over 11.1 m (from 148.5 – 159.6 m). One of the key takeaways was getting the angle of drilling more properly aligned compared to what historic operators had tried, and this is what allowed for the new discovery and also will be instructive for the much larger drill program this year exploring Tatiggaq.

Rebecca also reviewed that the company is utilizing the data modeled from last year’s Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey, to refine and outline high-priority drill targets as they move away from the known mineralization at Tatiggaq West and Main. Additionally, the processed ANT data on Ned has outlined the unconformity depth (Thelon Formation sandstone) as well as potential faults and alteration that will be targeted in the upcoming drilling program. She also shares why she’s excited to drill Bjorn, Qavvik, and that there are even other targets to still get to in follow up drill programs.

If you have any follow up questions for Rebecca or the team at Forum Energy Metals, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.

Sean Brodrick, Editor of Wealth Megatrends and contributing analyst to Weiss Ratings Daily, joins us to review investing opportunities in the energy sector, and what kinds of companies he’s investing in with the oil, nat gas, and uranium stocks.

He is still positioned in the oil stocks, and has been adding more nat gas stocks over the last couple months. That larger companies that pay dividends seem fairly secure with these underlying oil and gas prices, and Sean expects them to have very positive Q2 financial reports. He also still likes some of the growth opportunities in the smaller to mid-tier companies, that are utilizing new technology, and that could also be compelling takeover candidates.

With regards to the uranium stocks, he is disappointed in the action over the recent past. However, Sean now views the uranium mining sector being at a much more attractive accumulation point, now that so many companies have corrected down the last few months. He remains more animated by the companies in production, or that have a near-term pathway to production, and is less interested by the earlier-stage exploration companies, at this point in the cycle.

Keith Bodnarchuk, President and CEO of Cosa Resources Corp. (TSX-V: COSA) (OTCQB: COSAF), joins me to review the 3 key targets for this summer work program at this Canadian uranium exploration company operating in the Athabasca Basin region of northern Saskatchewan. The portfolio comprises roughly 209,000 ha across multiple projects in, all of which are underexplored, and the majority reside within or adjacent to established uranium corridors.

We start of discussing the 2024 drilling will kick off in August at their Ursa Project, following up on Drill hole UR24 -03 from the winter drill program, that intersected structure, alteration, and minor sulphide mineralization several hundred meters above the unconformity. The Ursa Project captures over 60-kilometres of strike length of the Cable Bay Shear Zone, a regional structural corridor with known mineralization and limited historical drilling. It potentially represents the last remaining eastern Athabasca corridor to not yet yield a major discovery. Modern geophysics completed by Cosa in 2023 identified multiple high-priority target areas characterized by conductive basement stratigraphy beneath or adjacent to broad zones of inferred sandstone alteration – a setting that is typical of most eastern Athabasca uranium deposits.

Keith then outlined Cosa’s award-winning management team, which has a long track record of success in Saskatchewan. In 2022, members of the Cosa team were awarded the AME Colin Spence Award for their previous involvement in discovering IsoEnergy’s Hurricane deposit. Prior to Hurricane, Cosa personnel led teams or had integral roles in the discovery of Denison Mines’ Gryphon deposit and 92 Energy’s Gemini Zone, and held key roles in the founding of both NexGen and IsoEnergy.

Next we pivoted over to both the Aurora and Orion Projects where the Company will be flying Airborne VTEM gravity at Aurora, and conducting ANT surveying at Orion, to further refine km-scale sandstone conductivity anomalies. Both projects are expected to be drill ready for H1 2025. We wrapped up with the share structure, key strategic investors, and the financial strength of the company to complete this year’s exploration and have access to capital in the future.

If you have any questions for Keith regarding Cosa Resources, then please email them in to me at Shad@kereport.com.

John Miniotis, President and CEO and Hernán Zaballa, Director and Co-Founder of AbraSilver Resource Corp (TSX.V:ABRA – OTC:ABBRF), join me for a discussion on the how the recently changing political policies in Argentina are making it more economically viable to develop projects, produce from projects, and is attracting more foreign investment from other global companies into this improving jurisdiction. We also review the exploration strategy and a number of key targets for the recently commenced 20,000 meter Phase 4 diamond drill campaign on its wholly-owned Diablillos property in Salta Province, Argentina.

We start off having John and Hernán outline the some of the major changes in Argentina since the policies of the newly elected president, Javier Milei, has enacted sweeping reform that has reduced inflation from over 20% down to 4%, is working on removing barriers to business and foreign investment in the country, and improvements to infrastructure. In particular the new “Incentive Regime for Large Investments” bill (also nicknamed RIGI) is currently working it’s way through the government and could have a substantial effect on extractive businesses. The RIGI offers a legal framework of tax, customs and exchange incentives to attract investment projects exceeding 200 million dollars. This measure aims to generate an environment of legal security that encourages the arrival of foreign and national capital.

The key takeaways for AbraSilver would be seeing the income tax drop from 35% down to 25%, removal of FX currency restrictions, and to see a 3-year reduction in export duties of 8% for gold and 4.5% for silver drop down to effectively 0% after the third year. This would mean substantial increase to the NPV of the project economics. Additionally, once the Company puts out a Feasibility Study on the project next year, they would be eligible to file a Stability Agreement, locking in the better taxes and export duties for a 30 year period.

We wrap up discussing the 20,000-meter Phase 4 drill program will prioritize the 3 drill rigs to target areas with known mineralization, like JAC North, Fantasma, Alpaca, Cerro Bayo, and Laderas; as well as exploring newly identified prospective exploration targets within the broader Diablillos land package. John reviews how the drilling done to expand the known targets will feed data into future resource updates and that the exploration team is looking for more near-surface high-grade silver and gold oxide mineralization to expand and extend the front-end economics of a project development scenario. Then on the more discovery step-out discovery drilling, the exploration team is going to be going after sulphide targets focused on gold and copper. 25% of the drill program will be focused on these new regional step-out exploration targets that remain largely untested to date at the Cerro Viejo Porphyry Complex (Cerro Blanco / Cerro Viejo), and the newly defined Jasperoid magnetic target identified in the geophysical survey conducted in late 2023.

Robert Sinn, (aka Goldfinger on CEO.ca and CeoTechnican on X) and publisher of Goldfinger Capital on YouTube and Substack, joins me to share his broad outlook on US tech stocks high valuations versus the rest of the market breadth, and the set up in the commodities sector. He points out there are a lot of unique developments in the markets, macroeconomics, and geopolitics where “It really is different this time.” We also get his technical outlook and best practices for speculating on gold, silver, and copper resource stocks.

This is a very wide-ranging and more longer format discussion where we get into a lot of different topics like the mega-cap tech stock dominance and valuations compared to the rest of the market, the divergence in 52 week highs for some while so many are correcting downwards, the meme stock phenomenon resurfacing with Game Stop and Roaring Kitty, and how the A.I. narrative is even spilling over in to the energy demands needed for data centers, and the supply demand fundamentals for copper. Robert breaks down his shorter-term and longer-term technical outlook for gold, silver, and copper. We also dig into the attraction he has with companies pursuing porphyry deposits, and where he is seeing value in the resource stocks.

James Anderson, CEO of Guanajuato Silver (TSX.V:GSVR – OTCQX:GSVRF), joins me to provide a review of the key metrics from their Q1 financials and a comprehensive operational and exploration update from their 4 producing silver-gold mines and 3 processing facilities in central Mexico.

The Company produces silver and gold concentrates from the El Cubo Mine Complex, Valenciana Mines Complex, and the San Ignacio mine; all three mines are located within the state of Guanajuato, which has an established 480-year mining history. In addition, the Company produces silver, gold, lead, and zinc concentrates from the Topia mine in northwestern Durango.

Q1 2024 Highlights

  • Record metals production during the quarter of 987,312 AgEq (silver equivalent) was up 16% over the previous quarter; AgEq ounces derived from 428,279 ounces of silver; 5,384 ounces of gold; 879,242 pounds of lead; and 922,297 pounds of zinc.
  • Tonnes milled increased 20% over the previous quarter; a total of 165,079 tonnes were processed among GSilver’s three production facilities.
  • Both all-in sustaining cost (“AISC”) of $20.19 per AgEq ounce, and cash costs of $16.55 per AgEq ounce were 6% lower than the previous quarter
  • Record revenue of $17.8M was 7% higher than the previous quarter; net loss decreased by 3% in Q1 to $7.3M compared to $7.6M in Q4, 2024.
  • Realized average metal prices for the quarter of $23.37 per silver ounce, and $2,068 per gold ounce sold.

James highlighted the consistent quarter over quarter growth in the Company since beginning operations in 2021, discussed how they calculate their AISC more inclusively than many companies, and the different initiatives the company has at each mine to keep bringing costs down in the quarters to come. We also discuss the capex investment into new flash flotation cells, ore sorting equipment, and a new filter press to continue to optimize their mining operations and improve efficiencies and costs.

Next we review the augmenting of material at the El Cubo mill from 3rd party sources, as well as surface stockpiles from their El Horcon mine, with the potential of looking at starting to develop their Pinguico Project to ship more mineralized material to El Cubo down the road.

Shawn Khunkhun, President and CEO of Dolly Varden Silver (TSX.V:DV – OTCQX:DOLLF), joins me review the big picture exploration results from the 2023 field season, the overall strategy for this year’s 25,000 meter drill program, and the key differentiators and value proposition across the Kitsault Valley Project, located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia, Canada.

We start off reviewing the work done to date at the combined Kitsault Valley Project, that now contains 64 million ounces of silver and also around 1 million ounces of gold in all categories. There was a major gold discovery made at the Homestake area last year, as well as the expansion of silver mineralization at both the Wolf and Tobrit deposits. This year the program is going to focus on true exploration and discovery drilling at new targets at Moose, Chance, Ace Galena, North Star, and Red Point, as well as continued expansion at Wolf and Homestake with the goal to update the resource estimate.

Shawn then speaks to the pedigree and combined knowledge of the geological and technical team at Dolly Varden, that has been guiding all this exploration success. We touch upon the advantages of their understanding of the geological model, leading to a thesis that many of these separate deposits may end up being connected at depth into a larger system. In addition to the quality of the project, and the high-grade nature of the silver and gold mineralization, Shawn outlines that this precious metals focus, distinguishes the company from many other silver companies that actually have far more exposure to base metals like lead and zinc. We wrap up discussing the jurisdiction, tight capital structure, and key strategic shareholders with Dolly Varden Silver.

If you have any follow up questions for Shawn about Dolly Varden Silver, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com and we’ll get those questions addressed by management, or covered in future interviews.

Chris Temple, Editor and Publisher of the National Investor, joins us to share his main takeaways from the FOMC meeting this week, how any limited rate cuts may just end up being mid-cycle course corrections, the true reality as it relates to consumer pricing inflation, The Great Stagflation, and how this all ties into the general US equity markets and the commodities sector. This is a wide-ranging discussion that gets into the divergence between the return to a more sane backdrop of interest rates and a more normal business cycle, versus what the markets are anticipating with a binary switch to cutting rates back down to pre-covid levels. Chris outlines that Fed cannot possibly take us back to that kind of environment again, and that economic and market expectations will need to adapt to the changing multi-polar global economy.

He outlines some of the takeaways he had after attending and speaking at the recent SME “Current Trends In Mining Finance” conference in NY. One of the recurring themes centered around the challenges in policy, permitting, and personnel bottlenecks standing in the way of getting more mines into production to feed the growing demand for critical minerals in North America. Chris also points out that the western nations now need to rapidly play catchup and overhaul many policies to stimulate more domestic supplies or supplies from friendly nations of raw materials like lithium, copper, nickel, and silver, that prices will keep rising due to the supply-demand mismatches.

Jason Jessup, CEO and Director of Magna Mining (TSX.V: NICU) (OTC: MGMNF), joins me to unpack key milestone of the Crean Hill Mine Project going into a toll-milling arrangement on a 109 FootWall Zone bulk sample, and the further exploration work going on at this project and also at the Shakespeare Project for 2024. We also review the ongoing derisking work the company is doing for the potential development strategy at both Projects and the ultimate pathway towards nickel, copper, platinum, palladium and gold production in the prolific mining district in Sudbury, Ontario.

We start off discussing how the signing of a toll milling agreement with Glencore, to process a surface bulk sample from the 109 FW Zone at Crean Hill, is really the next step in advancing their Crean Hill Project. This bulk sample will allow us to evaluate the metallurgical performance and reconcile against our resource estimate, further de-risking our project as we move towards underground advanced exploration at Crean Hill.

Additionally, back on March 27, 2024, Magna announced the signing of a Definitive Offtake Agreement for advanced exploration at Crean Hill with Vale Canada. The Vale agreement excluded the 109 FW Zone as Magna wanted to explore other processing options to improve recoveries for the copper-PGM rich mineralization in this zone. These two agreements with both Glencore and Vale demonstrate the various options for Magna to do future toll-milling agreements and grow their mining business in the Sudbury region. We also look ahead to the larger vision of eventually building a mill at Shakespeare for a hub and spoke mining method, across their land package, and how they are evaluating other potential properties to augment their development portfolio.

With regards to exploration, we reviewed the nearly 23,000+ meters of drilling from last year, and looked ahead to the 25,000 meters of drilling on tap for this year, with more of a discovery focus. We highlighted the importance of the recent high-grade drill intercepts of nickel, copper, platinum and palladium in the 101, 105, and 109 Footwall Zones, that complement the other areas of more nickel forward mineralization in the main contact mineralization areas of the deposit. Also there is ongoing regional and discovery drilling going on at both Crean Hill and Shakespeare, with more exploration newsflow on tap for the balance of this year.

Will Robinson, VP of Exploration at West Red Lake Gold Mines (TSX.V:WRLG – OTCQB:WRLGF), joins us to review some of the recent high-grade gold drill results returned from the South Austin Zone, and to expand upon other exploration targets for the 2024 field season at Madsen Gold Project, in the Red Lake district of Ontario, Canada. We also get a development update on the different milestones and steps to take on the pathway to a mine restart.

We started off having Will share the main takeaways from the news release June 11th, where definition drilling was focused on the high-grade South Austin Zone.

  • Drill Hole # MM24D-09-4068- 012 intersected 8 meters @ 16.69 g/t Au, including 1 meter @ 127.98 g/t Au.
  • Drill Hole # MM24D-09-4068-009 Intersected 17.83 meters @ 6.17 g/t Au, including 1 meter @ 30.05 g/t Au, and also including 1 meter @ 28.33 g/t Au, and also including 1 meter @ 14.59 g/t Au.
  • Drill Hole # MM24D-09-4068-010 intersected 12 meters @ 7.48 g/t Au, including 1 meter @ 73.56 g/t Au, and also Including 0.5 meter @ 16.77 g/t Au.
  • Drill Hole # MM24D-07-4198-012 intersected 3.1 meters @ 21.33 g/t Au, including 0.5 meter @ 32.74 g/t Au, and also including 1 meter @ 28.78 g/t Au.

The purpose of this drilling was definition within South Austin to continue building an inventory of high-confidence ounces for eventual restart of the Madsen Mine.

Next we discussed how the exploration strategy at Madsen has been focused at the North Austin Zone, the Main Austin Zone, and the South Austin Zone because it is the ideal mineralized area to exploit in a mining restart scenario in the second half of 2025. We also review the potential at depth at Madsen with both the South Austin Zone still open, and then some underground drilling work planned for this summer at the 8-Zone, underneath the McVeigh Zone. Underground drilling of these targets will allow the exploration team to follow up on these areas with more accuracy, and much more efficient holes, than trying to drill from surface as prior operators had done. There will also be a lot of regional exploration work and metallurgical testing completed at the Madsen Gold Project this year, further derisking and delineating the project, to optimize a potential mine restart next year.

We wrap up getting an update on what needs to be procured, built, and developed at the mine site over the next six to twelve months to achieve our goal of restarting the mine in 2025. One of the key work projects will be the Connection Drift; which is a 1,200-meter haulage way to connect the East and West portals/declines at the Madsen Mine, to increase material hauling efficiency, ventilation, and safety. Will points out that since there will also be immediate exploration opportunities from this Connection Drift underground, that this work also qualifies for deploying a portion of their flow-through funds already raised. Will also highlights that all the development work will feed into an updated Pre-Feasibility Study, targeted for release in early 2025, that will further detail the restart plan.

Roger Rosmus, Founder, CEO, & Director of Goliath Resources (TSX.V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF), joins me to outline this year’s 15,000 meter drill program with a proposed 62 holes from 22 drill pad locations with up to three diamond drill rigs, across the 10 gold veins delineated at the Golddigger Property, located in the Golden Triangle, British Columbia. This program will also include 3 new maiden drill programs testing the copper-gold targets generated in last year’s surface exploration program.

We start off getting the key takeaways from the news released June 3rd, where this year’s exploration program will be following up on all the work done to date at the Surebet Zone, Bonanza Shear Zone, Golden Gate Zone, and will be testing further into the depth of the volcanics looking for the potential feeder structure. There have been an additional 6 veins (Big One, El Dorado, Surebet Lower, Goldzilla, Hot Spot, and Whopper) that have been identified through other exploration results, and will be followed up on for this year’s drill program. There will also be a maiden drill program testing the volcanic mineralization at a new gold-copper target generated last year a little more than 1km a way at the Jackpot Zone with 10 shear-hosted quartz-sulphide veins within a 15-meter wide stockwork.

Next we reviewed 2 more maiden drill programs to be conducted for VMS copper-gold mineralization at both the Treasure Island Target and the Full Contact Target, up north at the Cambrian Icefields. These 2 drill programs will be following up on last year’s field work where the exploration team did some channel cuts and a rock chip sampling program that yielded both high-grade gold and copper mineralization in an area that has never seen any drilling before.

If you have any questions for Roger about Goliath Resources, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com and we’ll get those answered or covered in a future interview.

Jordan Roy-Byrne, CMT, MFTA, Editor of The Daily Gold, joins us to provide his updated technical outlook for gold, silver and the underlying stocks.

We start with the potential directions for gold, focusing on support levels, resistance, and the possibility of a double top pattern. Jordan explains why it’s too early to predict a definitive trend for gold, emphasizing the importance of monitoring the $2,300 level and potential gaps at $2,240.

For silver, the conversation highlights the recent breakout above key resistance levels and subsequent correction, with analysis on support levels and moving averages.

We also delve into the mining stocks, particularly GDX, examining its performance relative to gold, support levels around 32-34, and the influence of the broader stock market. Jordan shares insights on the potential for these stocks to break out and the factors possibly driving that breakout. Additionally, look at the relationship between gold and silver stocks, the potential for silver stocks to catch up, and the impact of cost inflation and margin expansion on miners.

David Awram, Sr. Executive Vice President, Co-Founder, and Director of Sandstorm Gold (TSX: SSL) (NYSE: SAND), joins me for a review the key takeaways from Q1 2024 financials and operations. We also got into many of the key royalty partner projects feeding into the larger growth profile over the next 5 years for this mid-tier precious metals royalty company. Sandstorm Gold is diversified across 250 royalties, 40 producing assets, exploration optionality, different jurisdictions, and has a leading cost profile from producing royalty partners.

This is wide-ranging discussion that gets into the value proposition and key attributes of Sandstorm Gold within it’s peer group of royalty companies. We spend some time unpacking some of the key projects they hold royalties on that are partnered with senior mining companies as operators, that are well capitalized to have more exploration and development upside than the market is anticipating. Some of the projects Dave outlined were the Houndé Project operated by Endeavour Mining, the Bonikro Project operated by Allied Gold, the Barry Project operated by Bonterra Resources (that is being combined with Osisko Mining’s Windfall Project), and Caserones operated by Lundin Mining.

Next we got into some of the large development projects that are moving down the development pipeline and into production, as big contributors to future gold equivalent ounces and revenues. We reviewed how Equinox’s Greenstone Mine has just had first gold pour, as the 4th largest gold mine in Canada and a big win for Sandstorm and the Canadian mining sector at large. Next Dave highlighted a recent site visit to Ivanhoe Mining’s Platreef Project in South Africa, and how construction is well underway to bring this mine into commercial production by next year. We then reviewed the cornerstone Hod Maden royalty asset in Turkey, and how the terms on this asset and conversion into a gold stream have changed over time, including the sale of the 30% interest in the project to Horizon Copper Corp. Lastly we wrap up with a look ahead to the Mara gold stream operated by Glencore, as an example of how a royalty purchase can change hands and become incredibly value-accretive.

If you have any questions for Dave regarding Sandstorm Gold, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com and we’ll get them addressed, or covered in a future interview.

Justin Huhn, Founder and Publisher of the Uranium Insider, joins me for another comprehensive macro update on the supply and demand fundamentals for uranium and the nuclear fuel sector, how the longer-term contracting cycle is setting up, and then what he is watching and how he is positioning in the uranium equities.

We start off reviewing the growth in both new nuclear reactors and life extensions on existing reactors in the recent past and looking forward outpacing expectations in China, the UAE, France, other countries in Europe, and even in the US. We also get into demand and supply fundamentals for the nuclear fuel cycle for enriched uranium fuel and enrichment & processing bottlenecks for end users and utility companies due to the recent sanctions placed on Russian supplies. However these sanctions, in tandem with the money allocated in the Inflation Reduction Act for growing domestic processing and enrichment capabilities, along with more U308 supplies from domestic uranium mining companies will be a net longer-term positive after the shorter term hurtles.

Justin then breaks down what we know about the past and forward guidance for largest producers like Kazatomprom, Cameco (CCO.V) (CCJ), and Orano. He also reviews the US-based producers that are projected to add in more production over the next few years like enCore Energy (EU.V) (EU), Energy Fuels (EFR.TO) (UUUU), Ur-Energy (URE.TO) (URG), Peninsula Energy (PEN.AX) (PENMF), and Uranium Energy Corp (UEC). We then get into the concept of what percentage of production these uranium producers should be committed to longer-term off-take contracts, between the utilities and the uranium mining companies, for the overall health of the uranium companies if they have locked in much higher prices for uranium sales contracts years into the future. This also lead into a review of the recent transaction from NexGen Energy (NXE) where they are purchasing 2.7 million pounds of uranium to demonstrate to any potential off-take partners more assurity of future supply until they could get Arrow into production.

We wrap up by getting Justin’s thoughts on where we are with the moves in uranium exploration stocks, operating in both the US and in Canada, and where the biggest opportunities are from his vantage point. He feels the discovery that F3 Uranium Corp. (FUU.V) (OTCQB: FUUFF) made last year ignited a whole new wave of exploration in the Athabasca Basin. This leads into a discussion of whether we’ll see some of the higher-valued more advanced companies that are either near production or going back into production begin to start acquiring more of the earlier- stage uranium explorers and developers.

Keith Bodnarchuk, President and CEO of Cosa Resources Corp. (TSX-V: COSA) (OTCQB: COSAF), joins us for a comprehensive introduction to this Canadian uranium exploration company operating in northern Saskatchewan. The portfolio comprises roughly 209,000 ha across multiple projects in the Athabasca Basin region, all of which are underexplored, and the majority reside within or adjacent to established uranium corridors.

We talked with Keith about Cosa’s primary focus through 2024 will be drilling at their Ursa Project, which captures over 60-kilometres of strike length of the Cable Bay Shear Zone, a regional structural corridor with known mineralization and limited historical drilling. It potentially represents the last remaining eastern Athabasca corridor to not yet yield a major discovery. Modern geophysics completed by Cosa in 2023 identified multiple high-priority target areas characterized by conductive basement stratigraphy beneath or adjacent to broad zones of inferred sandstone alteration – a setting that is typical of most eastern Athabasca uranium deposits. Initial drilling results from Ursa in winter 2024 were positive and included the intersection of a broad zone of alteration with associated structure in the Athabasca sandstone located 250 to 460 metres above the sub-Athabasca unconformity. Follow-up drilling is planned in the second half of 2024.

We then spent more time having Keith outlining Cosa’s award-winning management team has a long track record of success in Saskatchewan. In 2022, members of the Cosa team were awarded the AME Colin Spence Award for their previous involvement in discovering IsoEnergy’s Hurricane deposit. Prior to Hurricane, Cosa personnel led teams or had integral roles in the discovery of Denison Mines’ Gryphon deposit and 92 Energy’s Gemini Zone and held key roles in the founding of both NexGen and IsoEnergy. We wrapped up with the share structure, key strategic investors, and the financial strength of the company to complete this year’s exploration and have access to capital in the future.

If you have any questions for Keith regarding Cosa Energy, then please email them in to us at either Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.

Brian Penny, CEO of Wallbridge Mining (TSX: WM – OTCQX: WLBMF), joins me for a comprehensive exploration and development update at their flagship Fenelon Project, and the Martinière Project, with additional updates on regional exploration targets along the Detour-Fenelon trend, in Québec.

We start off having Brian recap the key milestones and work programs from 2023, and then dive right into the work already completed or still ongoing in 2024, and the balance of the work and key news looking ahead. The overall drill program of 23,000 meters will be done in a few phases at various projects. At Fenelon, the Company has already completed 2,500 meters of drilling for both definition drilling and testing a few new areas, and those results should be coming out to the market in the near future.

The 2024 drill program at Martinière, 30 kilometres west of the Company’s Fenelon gold project and 45 kilometres east of Agnico Eagle’s Detour Lake gold mine, will be conducted in two phases. In March, a diamond drill program with 7,500 meters kicked off using two rigs at its Martiniere gold project located in Northern Abitibi, Quebec. The goals of this first phase of drilling are to expand and upgrade the current gold resource; to collect a representative sample of mineralized material for metallurgical characterization studies; and to collect oriented drill core data to support geotechnical rock mass characterization studies.

This first phase of drilling has been mostly completed, and the Phase 2 drilling will be based on the results returned from Phase 1 and is scheduled to commence in early Q3. The results from the Martiniere drilling program will be incorporated into a combined Fenelon/Martiniere Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) scheduled for completion in early 2026.

We also touch upon additional regional drill targets at Fenelon and Martinière that may see some drilling this year, as well as the outlook at Detour East with their JV partner Agnico Eagle, and some additional drilling planned at the Casault Project, that they are optioning into with Midland Exploration. We wrap up discussing the recent participation in the private placement to raise capital for NorthX Nickel Corp. (formerly Archer Exploration Corp.) (CSE:NIX).

If you have any questions for Brian regarding Wallbridge Mining, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.

Jordan Roy-Byrne, CMT, MFTA and Editor of The Daily Gold, joins us to discuss the key takeaways from his presentation last weekend at the Metals Investor Forum titled “The Biggest Gold Breakout In 50 Years…Is Here.” We start off reviewing the recent breakout higher in gold from the 13 year larger cup & handle pattern, and then look to the upcoming breakout confirmation on the 45-year basing on the inflation adjusted gold price chart as some critical longer-term technical factors. Then we look towards the next confirming factor that we will be truly in a new secular bull market, which would be the breakout in gold versus the traditional 60/40 retirement portfolio (60% equities / 40% bonds), which is also close to breaking out. We have Jordan outline the nuances between cyclical and secular moves, and some higher price targets he sees in gold should we see gold really make a secular run, as general equities enter a secular bear market.

In the latter part of the discussion, we shift things over to the precious metals mining stocks, and why he still favors being positioned in the growth-oriented producers, or developers with access to capital to build a large project of scale in the next 1-2 years. Conversely, Jordan points out why he is still avoiding the smaller deposits, earlier stage explorers, and orphaned developers, that will not have the same kind of leverage to rising gold prices in the next leg of this bull market.

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to continue our discussion from last week on why he is getting more bullish on the copper supply/demand fundamentals and has been positioning in more junior stocks with exposure to the red metal. In addition, we get Erik’s thoughts on how junior exploration companies with exposure to uranium in Sweden will fare in a best-case and worst-case scenario, based on the anticipated news update tomorrow.

Erik highlights 5 junior exploration stocks that he has positioned in that have varying degrees of copper exposure and outlines the value proposition that higher copper prices and a need for more supply could have on their projects: Magna Mining (TSXV: NICU) (OTCQB: MGMNF), Stillwater Critical Minerals (TSX.V:PGE)(OTCQB:PGEZF), Gladiator Metals (TSXV: GLAD) (OTCQB: GDTRF) , Inflection Resources (CSE: AUCU) (OTCQB: AUCUF), and Brixton Metals (TSX-V: BBB, OTCQB: BBBXF).*

As far as the new coming out of Sweden, with regards to potentially lifting the uranium mining moratorium, Erik unpacks how it is very germane to the valuations in both District Metals (TSXV: DMX) (OTCQB: DMXCF) and Mawson Gold (TSXV:MAW) (OTC PINK:MWSNF), but that these companies still have exposure to other projects and other commodities that will be backstopping some of their valuations.*

*In full disclosure, the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.

We start with the recent financing, that closed for $3.47million. We discuss what this money is needed for and what divisions it will be allocated to. Also mentioning the AU$2million funding grant from the Queensland government. The major question I received was if the Company will need to go back to market in the near term or if revenues and other money will come in to support ongoing activities.

We then move to the THERMAL-XR division. Questions on government approval in the US, near term sales potential, uses in other sectors, like data centers, and other groups testing the product. Potential revenue was a large focus of the questions I received so that’s where we focused.

On the battery division, we didn’t have time to get to all the technical questions but I will be setting up a webinar in the next few weeks to discuss. I ask Craig about the path to market for the pouch pack batteries. I also get an update on the Rio Tinto partnership.

Craig Hemke, Editor of TF Metals Report, joins us to discuss the recent pricing slump in gold, while silver and the precious metals stocks trend sideways, and copper continues to rally. Craig points out that a number of the last few weeks have started off with gold taking a pricing hit, and so this feels like another déjà vu moment in the sector to kick things off this week.

We do review the constructive setup in copper that made new recent highs again today, and postulate that if it continues higher that it could also take silver along for the ride, even while gold is consolidating it’s recent gains. Silver remains in a tug of war between gold acting on the precious metals component, and copper acting in sympathy with the industrial base metals component.

Craig is not so sure that the move higher in copper necessarily equates to overall economic health and growth, but rather a more focused supply shortage, and copper-specific macro demand picture setting up. We do consider whether there may be some overall money rotation from paper assets into hard assets overall, with a number of commodities starting to head higher. As it relates to the resource stocks, the money has mostly gravitated toward the larger producers, much more so than the junior pre-revenue companies, but we consider what incentive prices and macroeconomic data may be needed to see more capital move down the risk curve.

On the gold front, Craig updates us on the CoT reports over the past 2 weeks that have strangely not moved while price was correcting.

For silver, there are some very defined key levels to watch for silver, with $30 being the ultimate possible breakout. As much as people follow the gold to silver ratio, Craig also points to copper as being a metal that if it continues higher could also take silver along for the ride.

Shane Williams, President and CEO of West Red Lake Gold Mines (TSX.V:WRLG – OTCQB:WRLGF), joins me to review some its ongoing Madsen mill cleanup and gold recovery at its 100% owned Madsen Mine located in the Red Lake Gold District of Northwestern Ontario, Canada. We also get into an exploration update at the Madsen and Rowan properties, and basic roadmap to development and an eventual mine restart.

We start off discussing the news released to the marketplace May 2nd where the Company is continuing with the Madsen mill cleanup. Last year they carried out a preliminary phase of the Gold Recovery Program in late 2023 that recovered 415 troy ounces of gold with proceeds of approximately $750,000. However, based on the significant amount of gold recovered during the initial investigation, a second and more comprehensive phase of the Gold Recovery Program was initiated in early 2024 with a focus on the ball mills and the semi-autogenous grinding (“SAG”) mills. The SAG mills are the primary or first stage grinder for material entering the mill, which is then followed by the secondary ball mills. It is anticipated that the Company may recover at least 2,500 oz Au from the clean up.

We reviewed that the previous operator had ongoing reconciliation issues between the mined ore and the milled ore at the Madsen Mine made, but further review has shown they had made significant mistakes building the mine and mill, which are fixable. This process has helped their team understand the technical flow better and this also addresses that they’ll be able to solve many of the reconciliation issues between mined and milled ore upon a development and mine restart scenario. The next big step in this understanding and economics around the project will be in the Pre-Feasibility Study, due out by the end of this year.

We also took time to review the potential to keep growing resources at depth at Madsen both at depth with areas like the South Austin Zone and 8-Zone, but also at surface with new targets emerging at the Confederation Assemblage of rocks. This is similar to the geology that Great Bear Resources had explored in Red Lake, and changed the understanding of what rock packages could contain gold in the area. Additionally, up to 15,000m of surface drilling is to be completed at the Rowan Property with a focus on growth and expansion on the existing high-grade mineral resource

Darrell Fletcher, Managing Director Commodities at Bannockburn Capital Markets joins me to share outlook for copper, natural gas and oil.

I ask about demand factors and how those play into near term pricing. With Copper, there have been some new larger companies trying to enter the space all with the outlook that supply will not meet demand in the foreseeable future.

On the energy front, natural gas has broken above $2 but Darrell is not seeing this as sustainable. He points to the cash market which is trading much lower. Oil is back below $80/barrel but largely in a 2 year trading range. I ask about downside price protection an breakout potential to over $100.

Kyle Floyd, CEO and Chairman of Vox Royalty (TSX: VOXR) (NASDAQ: VOXR), joins us to review their growth strategy for 2024, after a record 2023 in operational results, revenues, and cash flows on a per share basis from their portfolio of royalties. We also outline a few partner project updates that represent deep longer-term value in their royalty portfolio.

We lead off with some of the points that Kyle made in their investor letter, released on April 25 titled “On the Path of Totality.” In this annual letter to shareholders Kyle summed things up well with this passage:

“…much of North America has been caught up in the Total Solar Eclipse,with many people flocking to the narrow band of geography that lies on the Path of Totality. What caught my mind was a news article that expounded on the high costs of hotels at certain hot spots to watch the eclipse and the late-comers paying very high prices. The thing with solar events is that the right scientists and mathematicians can forecast these events with amazing accuracy decades and sometimes millennia in advance. In the last few months, more and more people have gotten caught up in the mania and paid a higher price for late planning and forecasting. In my personal life, career, and especially at Vox, I have always attempted to forecast and plan ahead. It’s something that our executive team also innately embraces and focuses on. Much more time is spent talking about tomorrow versus today because the returns generated today were paved by yesterday’s hard work. As a result, sometimes we have been early on our corporate strategy without immediate reward for what, similar to a total eclipse, can be readily calculated and expected well in advance. This is the phenomenon that I believe we are experiencing with our portfolio of royalties in Australia. The value that is readily apparent to us and can be forecasted with high confidence is not being valued appropriately at present, resulting in an opportunity for those willing to do the math in advance and make appropriate preparations.”

Expanding upon this premise, we have Kyle outline one of the assets in the Vox Royalty portfolio that was acquired last year that they see on this pathway to clear value – the royalty on Norther Star’s Red Hill mine. Recent news released by Northern Start highlights a significant exploration and development update for the Red Hill gold project in Western Australia, with a 58% resource upgrade, a maiden reserve declaration, and further disclosure around development assumptions. Vox management estimates that this Red Hill gold royalty has the potential to generate approximately US$10 millionin initial annual revenues, over a potential mine life that is still to be determined by Northern Star. Kyle makes the point that this is a prime example of the kind of royalties the companies has focused on acquiring that provide solid returns on invested capital.

We wrap up discussing the health of the Company balance sheet, the optionality they have to make accretive acquisitions in the year ahead, and some ways of thinking about how to value their current portfolio of royalty assets.

If you have any follow up questions for Kyle and the team at Vox, then please email us at Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.

Doug Ramshaw, President of Minera Alamos (TSX.V:MAI – OTCQX:MAIFF), joins us for a comprehensive review of the Santa Mine operations and production expansion in 2024 in Sonora, Mexico; as well as the further derisking work going on, while awaiting the permits, at the Cerro De Oro gold development project in Zacatecas, Mexico.

At Santana, the Company has completed plans to optimize the use of existing installed leach pad capacity to boost production on a go forward basis. As outlined in a February 22nd release, these plans involve mining and stacking of approximately 25,000 oz of gold over a 12-month period that will commence in May 2024 and should see a significant improvement in gold production relative to 2023 levels, beginning in Q3 and extending through to into 2025 before an expected normalizing of operations at Santana thereafter. Following the conclusion of planning with the Company’s existing mine contractor, their operating fleet and infrastructure has been updated (mining and crushing) to suit the current mine plans for the Nicho Main pit. Blasthole drilling is underway with mining operations to follow.

The company is still advancing permitting, engineering, metallurgical work, geological, and other geotechnical work to continue to de-risk the Cerro de Oro Gold Project as it moves down the pathway into production as the Company’s second operating gold mine. Initial projections were for this mine to produce 60,000 ounces annually for 8+ years, but Doug also highlights the upside potential through exploration and resource expansion, as well as the leach pad capacity, where the goal is to see if the potential is there to eventually push production to upwards of 80,000 – 90,000 ounces per annum over more like 11-12 years. Engineering work continues to progress for Cerro de Oro in order to advance pre-development activities to coincide with the ultimate receipt of permits and a construction decision for the project.

Wrapping up, we also discussed the news about the recent acquisition of the Suaqui Verde copper project will allow the Company to start a series of internal engineering studies aimed at the best path(s) for the development of a regional copper developer/producer focused on low capital intensity copper projects. The combination of Los Verdes, Poteritos and Suaqui Verde allows for further consolidation of similar type assets that could form a regional copper production “hub” in the area where the Company already maintains a significant presence.

Please email us with any follow up questions for Doug regarding Minera Alamos. Our email addresses are Fleck@kereport.com and Shad@kereport.com.

Akiba Leisman, President and CEO of Mako Mining (TSX.V:MKO – OTCQX:MAKOF), joins me to review the key takeaways from the Q1 2024 production and operations report, the key synergies with the ongoing acquisition of Goldsource Mines (TSXV:GXS)(OTCQX:GXSFF), and a review of the exploration strategy this year in Nicaragua.

We started off recapping how the results have been steadily ramping up and improving ever since the Company received the permit to begin extracting ore from Las Conchitas the middle of last year, and that, like Q4 of 2023, Q1 of 2024 demonstrated the solid operational performance and execution at the San Albino Mine.

Q1 2024 Production and Financial Highlights

  • Record 67,961 tonnes mined containing 13,965 ounces of gold (“oz Au”) at a blended grade of 6.39 grams per tonne gold (“g/t Au”) and 15,718 ounces of silver (“oz Ag”) at a grade of 7.19 grams per tonne silver (“g/t Ag”)
    • 25,374 tonnes mined containing 9,664 oz Au at 11.85 g/t Au and 9,919 oz Ag at 12.16 g/t Ag from diluted vein material

  • C$ 2.8 million in share repurchases equating to 1 million shares at an average price of C$ 2.80 so far in 2024
  • Aprox. US$ 3.0 million increase in cash balance in Q1 2024 vs. Q4 2023

Next the discussion transitioned into the synergies for scalable growth with the acquisition of Goldsource Mines, and their 100% owned Eagle Mountain Gold Project in Guyana, South America. Akiba outlines how the combined company will bring together two experienced management teams, that have worked together as colleagues going back nearly two decades, the optional savvy of the team that COO, Jesse Muñoz has assembled, and the geographical and asset diversification. We also review the district-scale exploration potential in Guyana, the recent acquisition of Reunion Gold in country by G Mining Ventures, and Guyana as an emerging mineral extraction jurisdiction.

We wrap up with Akiba providing a big picture overview of the exploration initiatives for 2024 in Nicaragua, with 4 RC drill rigs turning at present, and 1 diamond core rig, with plans to add 2 more core rigs as the year progresses, providing a great deal of data with more efficiency to keep expanding resources around San Albino, Las Conchitas, and regionally.

If you have any further questions for Akiba regarding Mako Mining, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.

Marc Chandler, Managing Partner at Bannockburn Global ForEx and Editor of the Marc to Market blog, joins us to discuss some of the moves in global currencies, recent US economic data for GDP growth and the PCE inflation deflator metrics, commodities inflows, wage growth, corporate profits, and how this all ties into central bank policies. We note the continued strength in the US dollar, and the major weakness in the Japanese Yen, and what implications those may have on the global economy, and interest rates in the respective countries.

With corporate profits remaining very high, and the general US equities holding up near all-time highs, and dips continuing to be bought, we probe whether there is anything that may change the tone of the markets or the central bank outlook. Marc outlines that with the weaker than expected GDP growth, and weakness in service PMI jobs, that if we also see a weaker than expected jobs report next week, that it could moderate the Fed’s confidence, and possibly accelerate the plans to start cutting rates later in the year.

Joel Elconin, Co-Host of the Benzinga PreMarket Prep Show and Editor of the PreMarket Prep website joins us to recap this week’s US economic data and key tech earnings.

The market did not like the slower GDP growth, reported on Thursday, but Friday was a different story after some major tech earnings. The market was due for a correction, which started this month, but is already being bought back. We ask Joel to make sense of this month’s moves, being either bearish or bullish.

We also ask about commodities, financials and what to look for next week with the Fed.

Will Robinson, VP of Exploration at West Red Lake Gold Mines (TSX.V:WRLG – OTCQB:WRLGF), joins us to review some of the recent high-grade gold drill results returned from the South Austin Zone at the Madsen Gold Project, and to map out the many other exploration targets on tap for drilling in 2024 at Madsen and at the Rowan Project, in the Red Lake district of Ontario, Canada.

We started off having Will share the main takeaways from the news release April 18th, where definition drilling was focused on the high-grade South Austin Zone. Drill Hole # MM24D-07-4198-001 intersected 1.1 m @ 68.36 g/t Au, from 74.25m to 75.35m, Including 0.5 m @ 145.44 g/t Au, from 74.85m to 75.35m. Then Drill Hole # MM24D-07-4198-002 Intersected 3.95m @ 13.83 g/t Au, from 7.55m to 11.5m, Including 0.5m @ 105.72 g/t Au, from 7.55m to 8.05m. Just this South Austin Zone alone currently contains an indicated mineral resource of 474,600 ounces grading 8.7 grams per tonne gold, with an additional Inferred resource of 31,800 oz grading 8.7 g/t Au. The purpose of this drilling was definition within South Austin to continue building an inventory of high-confidence ounces for eventual restart of the Madsen Mine.

Next we discussed how the exploration strategy at Madsen has been focused at the North Austin Zone, the Main Austin Zone, and the South Austin Zone because it is the ideal mineralized area to exploit in a mining restart scenario in the second half of 2025. We also review the potential at depth at Madsen with both the South Austin Zone still open, and then some underground drilling work planned for this summer at the 8-Zone, underneath the McVeigh Zone. Underground drilling of these targets will allow the exploration team to follow up on these areas with more accuracy, and much more efficient holes, than trying to drill from surface as prior operators had done. There will be a lot of exploration work and metallurgical testing completed at the Madsen Gold Project this year, further derisking and delineating the project, to optimize a potential mine restart next year.

Lastly, Will mentions that the next phase of drilling will be commencing at the Rowan Property in a couple months, following up on last year’s drilling, and testing a number of new targets at this growing resource area; that will augment the larger Madsen Mine restart plan.

If you have any follow up questions for the team over at West Red Lake Gold please email us at Fleck@kereport.com and Shad@kereport.com.

Jordan Roy-Byrne, Founder of The Daily Gold, joins us to review both his near-term and medium-term technical outlook for gold and silver, the changing investor psychology around gold mining stocks, and how he looks at optionality in the silver stocks. We start off noting the recent weakness to kick off this week on the precious metals charts; which was to be expected after such a big move the last few months to overbought levels. In the medium to longer-term Jordan is not concerned by the consolidation and still sees measured moves up to $3,000-$4,000 in gold depending on how one extrapolates out the large 13 year cup and handle pattern.

We then shift over to discussing the mining stocks where Jordan advises not chasing the “rhino-horn” charts with steep vertical moves, as they usually represent short-term termination events, before correcting, basing, and building the next leg higher. He goes on to make the case that investor psychology around gold stocks is gradually changing, as people come around to the reality that gold prices are remaining higher, and so pullbacks will be bought and less severe than we’ve seen the last few years. While Jordan is still most animated by the quality growth-oriented gold producers, and quality gold developers of size, that are within 1-2 years of getting their mine built and into production; he also likes the silver optionality plays with quality ounces in the ground that could have more torque to get rerated higher on rising metals prices.

Jesse Felder, Founder or The Felder Report joins us to explain why he thinks markets are in for a much larger correction and the economy is not as strong as the reports. Looking at some of the underlying data like high insider selling, weak breadth, inflation remaining high and a number of other factors that are telling him markets could be weak for quite a while.

The overall theme Jesse is looking for in the market is the continued shift toward hard assets and away from financial assets.

I am joined by Taj Singh, President and CEO, and Adam Cegielski, Chief Development Officer of First Nordic Metals (TSX.V: FNM) (OTCQB: FNMCF), to introduce the new pro-forma Company. We review how the Barsele / Gold Line merger came together last month, to create a combined company with a leading gold portfolio; underpinned by the advanced stage Barsele Gold Project and one of the largest consolidated gold exploration portfolios in Scandinavia, both in Sweden and in Finland.

The flagship of the portfolio is the 2.4 Moz Au Barsele Gold Project (NI-43101, all categories), in a JV with Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd.; and the 100% ownership of 100 km of strike along the Gold Line Belt surrounding Barsele Project. There are multiple exploration targets already identified, that have had significant work in the past, and a high potential for new discoveries. The Company holds a 100,000-hectare district-scale position in Sweden covering almost the entire Gold Line belt and a significant portion of the Skellefte VMS (volcanogenic massive sulphide) belt and covering a +100km belt position of regional first-order structural corridors.

We discuss how this area of Sweden is a great mining jurisdiction, with proximity to multiple active mines, and just a few kilometers from a recently permitted gold mine. Adam also points out that the government has been making many positive changes to advance mineral exploration, development, and production in Sweden. Taj and Adam highlight the potential for drilling at depth at the Barsele Gold Project, as well as a number of targets regionally around the main resource area. Additionally they review other prospective exploration targets, that have seen prior work, along the broader mineralized Gold Line Belt.

We have both Taj and Adam outline their backgrounds in the mining industry as well as other members of the board and management team, highlighting a technically focused and capital markets driven executive team, with decades of natural resources and mining experience. Wrapping up we get into the capital structure, key stakeholders, and financial setup of the company.

If you have any questions for Taj or Adam, regarding First Nordic Metals, then please email them to me at Shad@kereport.com.

Michael Oliver, founder of Momentum Structural Analysis, joins me to share how he sees the technical momentum setup in the US general equities, gold, precious metals stocks via GDX, silver, SIL, copper, grains, and oil.

We start off getting the nuances and difference in what the pricing chart in the S&P 500 or Nasdaq was showing coming into this month versus the divergence in them momentum framework. Michael noted that as the tech giants continue rolling over, having such a significant presence in the weighted equity indexes, that it is likely signaling a more protracted bear market in US equities, after coming to the end of such a record bull market in length and amplitude.

We then shifted over to his technical outlook on gold, and the gold stocks; where Michael postulates that when the US general equities and bonds do keep rolling over, that a portion of investors will rotate funds into gold, the gold stocks, and the commodities. In addition to remaining constructive on gold, Michael points out that the setup in GDX and the gold equities are signaling a breakout versus gold, and the same is true for the technical setup in silver, the SIL ETF, and silver stocks.

We then move through the overall commodities sector, noting the recent strength in copper and the copper stocks, other base metals trending higher, and also some positive momentum in the agricultural commodities and grains complex. Michael sees a more favorable setup in wheat, corn, and beans than many are anticipating, and could see them becoming more important to the commodity complex indexes, than even oil or the energy stocks on a percentage move higher basis. He believes the second major upleg in commodities has begun.

With gold and silver correcting 3% and 5.5% today respectively we had to discuss what is causing this move and what it means for the longer term bull market narrative.

Byron King, Geologist and writer with the Paradigm Press Group joins us to discuss today’s pullback. Byron is very clear in thinking this is is a natural correction after a very strong uptrend over the past almost 2 months.

We also discuss the action in gold and silver stocks. While many of the precious metals stocks have rebounded over the past 2 months pretty much the whole sector is a long way from all time highs. We focus on the stocks that have been moving and ask how long it’ll take for money to filter to all the stocks especially the juniors.

Matti Talikka, CEO of Aurion Resources (TSX.V:AU) (OTCQX:AIRRF), joins us for a comprehensive exploration update from the Aurion-B2Gold Corp joint venture operated by B2Gold (TSX: BTO), as well as the Company’s 100% owned Risti exploration properties in the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt in northern Finland.

On Aug. 21, 2023 results for 22 holes from the 2023 drilling program from the Aurion-B2Gold Corp joint venture were reported from a few key target areas. Here is a brief summary of these results:

  • Vuoma – Discovery of gold mineralization 2.7 km south of Helmi
    • 1.33 g/t Au over 8.30 m from 133.60 m (VUO23007)
    • Mineralization proximal to mainly untested 20+ km southern domain boundary
    • 15 km along strike from the Kaaresselkä Prospect (Aurion 100%)
  • Helmi – Mineralization extended towards East
    • 1.21 g/t Au over 9.20 m from 392.00 m (IKK23045)
    • Identification of additional mineralized shoots
  • Kutuvuoma – New zones of gold mineralization
    • 1.43 g/t Au over 10.45 m from 261.70 m (KU23011)
    • New zones south of historic mineralization
  • Expanded drill program with 4,500 m planned for second half of 2023

Additionally, Matti shared with us that they are awaiting drill assays from a number of step-out and scout holes on the Company’s 100%-owned Risti property, continuing on from other targets explored lately at the Kaares Area, and new zone of gold mineralization at the Kaaresselkä Prospect, and other scout targets that will be announced to the market in the near future.

Next we discussed the developing news regarding the buyback of a 3% royalty on Aurion-B2Gold JV project. The most recent announcement came out on Aug 16th, that stated that Aurion will, on the date that it exercises the Option, pay Dragon Mining Ltd. €5,000,000, as follows:

  • €4,000,000 in cash, of which B2Gold Corp. has agreed to contribute €3,500,000 (see press release dated July 31, 2023); and
  • €1,000,000 in Aurion common shares – A total of 2,415,410 Shares will be issued, based on the 10-day volume-weighted average price of CAD$0.61/Share and a EURCAD exchange rate of 1.4734. The Shares will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months from Closing.

We wrap up with another piece of key news, just announced on August 23rd, where Aurion Resources has signed a formal definitive option agreement with Kinross Gold Corporation (TSX: K, NYSE: KGC); granting Kinross the right to earn up to an undivided 70% interest in the 42.74 km2, Launi East Property, which is located to the southeast and adjacent to the Company’s 100%-owned Risti Property. We unpack how this deal is mutually beneficial for both companies, and further solidifies Kinross as key strategic partner.

John Rubino, publisher of his newsletter over at Substack, joins us for wide-ranging discussion on a number of topics including BRICS nations initiatives, the effects of higher interest rates, and the energy sector being one of the bright spots lately in otherwise tough market conditions.

We start off reviewing the BRICS nations meetings and the changing global trade and currency implications out of these evolving national alliances. It is still quite unclear if we will see any more news teased or released about the potential of gold-backed or commodity backed currency, from the BRICS meeting this week; but it will at least provide clarity on some of the larger initiatives for this large trading block. One area of the markets that could be impacted most is the commodities, and in particular the energy sector. All of this also ties into the future health of the global economy, and expectations around both monetary and fiscal policies the continued pressure of higher interest rates for longer on various sectors, and the potential still there for an economic contraction in western developed nations.

With ongoing constructive macro themes in both the oil markets and nuclear energy and uranium markets, we have John share what qualities he looks for when investing in energy stocks. He has been cautiously acquiring the larger cap, more liquid, best quality names, which he believes have management teams that are executing on building quality projects and quality companies. By focusing on the best-in-breed quality companies, he feels they will survive and bounce back, regardless of if we see a sector-wide correction in a “sell-everything” type of broad market correction or crash in the future. He highlights Occidental Petroleum (OXY), Cameco (CCO) (CCJ), and Nexgen Energy (NXE), as examples of the types of companies he’s built positions in.

Dave Erfle, Founder and Editor of The Junior Miner Junky, joins us to review some of the recent macroeconomic data points, and which coming catalysts could light the fuse for the precious metals sector. We start off reviewing how the FOMC meeting minutes, muted GDP number, and higher than expected PCE deflator news really comes down to Fed policy expectations around how much longer they will keep hiking rates.

Gold and Silver and related PM mining stocks have continued selling off and correcting down as some of the regional bank concerns have eased, and the debt ceiling brinksmanship nears it’s resolution. Dave provides technical support levels for gold, GDX, and GDXJ, but then goes on to outline a multitude of catalysts on the medium-term horizon, that could break the gold price and the rest of the PM sector higher later in the year.

We then shift the conversation over to the big disconnect in the move higher we’ve seen in the metals versus how the mining stocks have reacted . Dave also shares key considerations for how he is approaching investing in gold and silver stocks in the short to medium-term, within the context of a big picture outlook that precious metals are going to break out to new highs as this larger bull market unfolds.

Craig Hemke, Founder and Editor of TF Metals Report, joins us for more of a big picture look at various motivations to be invested in the precious metals sector, and how stacking physical metals is a different game and time horizon that investing in the gold and silver mining stocks.  We start off reviewing some of the macroeconomic data points like the FOMC meeting minutes and expectations around future Fed policy, the debt ceiling debate, and the recent rise in interest rates and the US Dollar.  

The discussion then shifts to more of the longer-term focus for stacking physical precious metals as an insurance policy against fiscal malfeasance and geopolitical uncertainty, and how that differs from many investors in junior PM mining stocks desire for short-term fiat gains.  They are different games, with different goals and different focuses and concerns.

Walter Coles, Executive Chairman at Skeena Resources (TSX:SKE – NYSE:SKE) joins us to discuss the recent bought deal financing closed yesterday for C$73.5million. These proceeds will be allocated towards drilling, the building of an on-site assay lab, Feasibility Study for Eskay Creek and Pre-Feasibility for Snipp.

We have Walt detail the news flow for this year. Starting with drill results from the Eskay Deeps area, the Company will be able to turn around results much faster as it is building its own assay lab on site. Then the Feasibility at Eskay Creek is on tap followed by the Pre-Feasibility at Snipp. Walt explains how these economic studies will fit together for the overall mine plan.

Jordan Roy-Byrne, Founder and Editor of The Daily Gold, reviews some of the technical support levels he is watching for in gold, silver, and the precious metal mining stocks, as the sector continues to correct. Now that the $1980 support gave way in gold, he is looking to the 150 day moving average, as well as the 20 month and 40 month moving averages as key support levels in gold. As mentioned last week, the picture in silver and in the GDX are a bit more concerning, but he notes that the 200 day moving average in both is now sloping upwards, and thus could offer a good support level to watch on both charts.

With regards to the longer-term bullish setup in the precious metals, it really comes down to getting past the noise of the debt ceiling debate, and the Fed pause rhetoric, to see how quickly the macro data erodes further pointing to a contracting economy and recession in a few months. This will provide the catalyst for the Fed to take action and start cutting rates, which will be a positive factor for gold, silver, and the PM mining stocks. The other factor to watch is whether the general US equities suck in a bunch of new buying to markets higher, which could pressure the PMs, or whether they continue to erode allowing gold and the mining stocks to further diverge.

Andrew Pollard, President and CEO of Blackrock Silver (TSX.V:BRC – OTCQX:BKRRF), joins us to outline the follow-up drill program on prior bonanza-grade gold and silver discovery at the Silver Cloud Project, as well reviewing the recent drill results from the Tonopah North Lithium Project in Nevada.

On May 23rd the Company announced that it has received approval from the Nevada Bureau of Land Management and finalized a drill agreement with Tonatec Exploration LLC to commence its 2,000 meter Phase-1 drill program at the Company’s Silver Cloud property. Silver Cloud is located along the prolific, high-grade Northern Nevada Rift in north central Nevada adjacent to the Hollister mine and 15 kilometres south of the Midas mine, and Andrew highlights the significance of this trend and those prolific mines. In January 2023, the Company confirmed its original bonanza-grade discovery intercept at the Northwest Canyon target with metallic-screen assay which returned 1.52 metres grading 70 g/t gold and 600 g/t silver in core hole SBC22-020. Drilling is slated to start next month in June.

Next we shifted over to the Tonopah North Lithium Project, where their option partners, Tearlach Resources (TSX.V: TEA – OTC: TELHF), just announced more assay results on May 18th for three (3) new core step-out drill holes (GAB-013, 016, & 019). These newly reported holes intersected broad lithium-mineralized zones with many intervals exceeding 1,000 ppm and grades up to 1,300 ppm. With all results received and reported from the Phase 1, 11 core drill hole program, Tearlach intersected significant grade and thickness of lithium mineralization in every drill hole. Andrew points out the valuation mismatch in what they have defined already, in comparison with 2 neighboring lithium companies, and feels the market has not picked up yet on the potential value of this Project.

If you have any follow up questions for Andrew regarding Blackrock Silver, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.

Oliver Turner, VP of Corporate Development at Karora Resources (TSX:KRR – OTCQX:KRRGF), joins us to review the record production and increased earnings from Q1 2023 operations, along with a development and exploration update at their Beta Hunt gold and nickel operations in Western Australia.

First quarter 2023 consolidated gold production of 39,827 ounces exceeded target levels and increased 45% from the first quarter of 2022 reflecting growth of 27% in tonnes processed and a 13% improvement in average grade. Production ended the quarter on track to achieve full-year 2023 guidance of 145,000 – 160,000 ounces. Cash operating costs and all-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) per ounce sold averaged US$1,124 and US$1,213, respectively, compared to US$1,310 and US$1,396, respectively, for same period a year earlier. Revenue totalled $96.8 million, 48% higher than in Q1 2022 reflecting a 38% increase in gold ounces sold, to 36,145 ounces, and was largely unchanged from the quarterly record set in the fourth quarter of 2022.

We review the aggressive growth plans for production over the next few years, as the company has now got a 2nd mill in operation, and has completed much of the development work on the 2nd twin decline ramp (west) into the Beta Hunt mine, which will allow more ore to be trucked for increased mill throughput moving forward. Oliver outlines some of the other ongoing development with the first of three ventilation raises at Beta Hunt completed on schedule and budget in Q1 2023. The expansion of Beta Hunt remains on track to support growth to annualized production rate of 2.0 Mtpa during 2024 and a target of 185,000-205,000 ounces of annual production 2 years out.

Shifting over to exploration at the Beta Hunt gold-nickel mine, the Company continued to extend mineralization at both Western Flanks and the A Zone and to demonstrate the significant potential of the Mason and Cowcill zones to emerge as important new mining opportunities. Subsequent to the end of Q1 2023, new high-grade gold intersections, including 6.5 g/t over 26 metres and 46.5 g/t over 7.0 meters, were released extending the drill-supported strike potential of the Fletcher Shear Zone by 900 meters for a total potential strike length of 1.4 km. The balance of exploration will come from the Higginsville Gold Operations and the new contributions from the Spargos deposit which just came online in Q4 of 2021. We also touch on the high-grade gold drill results returned recently under the already known Gamma Block of high-grade nickel. This area dubbed a “nickel mine within a gold mine” already has defined 35,000 tonnes of 2.7% nickel, with in-situ value around $1.3 Billion at today’s prices, so to find more high-grade gold underneath it will further improve the economics of eventual development.

We wrap up having Oliver unpack the recent agreement with Kalamazoo Resources Limited (ASX: KZR) to create a lithium and critical metals exploration company to be called Kali Metals Limited, where Karora will have a 45% stake and Kalamazoo will have a 55% stake in this new vehicle. The proposed transaction will allow Karora shareholders to participate in the significantly enhanced upside potential of a larger, combined lithium-focused investment vehicle that will fund its own exploration and development activities while Karora remains focused on growing its gold and nickel production base at both Beta Hunt and Higginsville.

Please email us with any questions for Oliver regarding Karora Resources, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.

Michael Oliver, founder of Momentum Structural Analysis, joins us for a discussion on how macroeconomic themes and technical momentum trends will impact the general US equities, gold, silver, and the precious metals mining stocks. We start off reviewing what will happen as the largest asset bubble in history continues to pop, where it is will continue to expose compounded errors in decisions and assumptions, made by individuals, businesses, and governments, that arose from over a decade of low to zero interest rates. That era of free money, fueled by a constant injection of central bank liquidity, resulted in the longest and steepest move higher in general stock market indexes on record, from 2009 to 2021. However, now the dynamics have drastically changed since then with the Fed’s intense period of monetary tightening, taking rates up over 5%, and with general equities and financial markets starting to unwind.

We reviewed how Michael had noted the momentum signals in the general equities having topped out in January-February of 2022, beginning a new secular bear market in stocks. With regards to the financial sector, he had warned in late January to early February of 2023 that the SPDR S&P Bank ETF (KBE) looked ready for an ambush, which then played out during March and beyond. He also noted that the broader and more diversified Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF) started showing cracks over the same time period. Michael points out that piling into a narrow selection of heavily-weighted mega-cap leadership is skewing the major stock indexes like the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500, giving investors and the media a distorted view of what is actually happening in the broader markets. He is watching for signals of a rollover to the current intermediate-term rally, where the general equities will enter the next leg down in the bear market, and that this should be a boon for the precious metals sector.

We review the relative strength that gold and silver showed in 2022, compared to almost all other asset classes, something he expects to continue moving forward. A primary factor that gold is sniffing out is that as the central banks will need to get busy printing more money in the near future, it will continue to devalue the purchasing power of fiat currencies, and will underpin a move higher in the precious metals. While silver and the PM mining stocks have lagged the moves in the gold, he expects that when sentiment does truly shift back to bullish in the sector, that they will take off to the upside “like a wet bar of soap,” catching up and outperforming the upward moves in the yellow metal.

So much focus for markets is on the weak breadth, with only large tech leading the way.

We start with a focus on big tech’s rebound and how these stocks are being viewed a safety plays. We then move to a general discussion about how investors are positioning in tech for now but if they shift more risk-on that could be a big boost for the lagging stocks.

John Miniotis, President and CEO of AbraSilver Resource Corp (TSX.V:ABRA – OTC:ABBRF), joins us to review more recently returned high-grade silver drill intercepts from the JAC Target at the Diablillos Project in Argentina.

On May 4th more exploration news was released where drill hole# DDH 23-021, located in the southeastern part of the drill target area, encountered high-grade silver mineralization in oxides, intersecting 32.0 meters grading 530.8 g/t Ag. Also of note, drill hole# DDH 23-017 tested the southwest extension of the JAC zone and intersected several zones of silver mineralization in oxides, with 12.0 meters grading 876.1 g/t Ag from a downhole depth of 92.0 meters downhole, including 2.0 meters grading 4,968.4 g/t Ag and 0.14 g/t Au. These high-grade intervals further demonstrate that there are zones within the JAC system that will raise the overall grade of the mineral resource.

John outlines why the exploration team is so encouraged by the continued success of the Phase 3 drill program, with 20,000 meters and 85 holes drilled to date, but only 46 holes have been released to the market thus far. There are plans for another 2,000 meters for Phase 3 to be drilled in May taking the total up to around 22,000 meters, and then all results feeding into a maiden Resource Estimate on this JAC target area in September. This will be followed by work incorporating other metallurgical data, environmental and permitting work, and other project derisking going on into a Preliminary Feasibility Study by year end.

We also discussed the long 1,200 meter hole the company finished drilling at their second project, La Coipita, near San Juan Argentina, which is testing for a potential high-grade copper-gold porphyry system. The drill assay will be released on this hold in the next month, along with a stead stream of drill results from the JAC Target from the ongoing Phase 3 drill program.

Craig Hemke, Founder of TF Metals Report, joins us to recap a number of economic data points that have been moving markets, and the what macro factors may move the needle moving forward. We discuss the startling reality that the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th largest US banking collapses ever have just happened in the last 2 months. Additionally, Craig noted that the recent plunge in regional banks led by the collapse of PacWest Bank over the last 2 days started just 30 minutes after Fed Chair Jerome Powell, tried to reassure markets that we could draw a line under the banking concerns with the takeover of First Republic Bank by JP Morgan.

Clearly there are still economic challenges emerging from the aggressive rate hiking and monetary tightening cycle the central bank has been engaged in since last year. We explore what kind of reactions we may see in the general equities, in gold, and silver, and the PM mining stocks should the Fed have to pivot to cuts later this year, versus what could happen if they paused for the balance of the year. With no FOMC meeting for another 6 weeks, markets will be looking to economic data flow for signals, and with tomorrows jobs numbers being a key report.

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to unpack how he approaches portfolio rebalancing and “value shuffling” when investing in junior gold, silver, and base metals mining stocks. He makes the point that price has no meaning unless framed against the value a company is creating, and so if price moves down on no change in value, or value is created with no change in price, that opportunities for changing the weighting or allocation to a particular stock present themselves quite regularly in these volatile markets. Erik discusses knowing your investment goals and style, to construct the appropriate diversification to alpha or beta plays in one’s portfolio, as well as companies that have received 3rd party validation from larger companies or institutions.

Erik discusses a handful of stocks in this interview to illustrate improving price to value ratios he has been noticing after certain market reactions in Lion One Metals (LIO.V) (LOMLF), Nighthawk Gold (NHK.TO) (MIMZF), Ascot Resources (AOT.TO) (AOTVF), Trigon Metals (TM.V) (PNTZF), and Magna Mining (NICU) *

We start off having Jordan review some of the support levels and key moving averages that he’ll be watching for in any near-term corrections in gold or the mining stocks. We also have him outline the number of technical and intermarket analysis data points that have him confident that we are in a new bull market.   

The conversation then transitions to why he is invested in both gold and silver growth-oriented producers and advanced explorers, and could see adding in even some optionality plays once gold breaks up through the $2100 resistance level.

Robert Sinn, AKA Goldfinger at CEO.ca, CEO Technician on Twitter and writer at the Energy and Gold website joins us for a macro discussion focused on Fed policy expectations and what the markets are predicting.

On the Fed front, we focus more on the predicted rate cuts and balance sheet upwind. For markets, the discussion moves to how certain stocks are doing well but many are really struggling (weak breadth). This is also relates to gold stocks where some are doing well and some are still lagging.

We wrap up the call by discussing a recent site visit to Guanajuato Silver in Mexico. This silver miner has continued to grow production and the share price has done well over the past few years. We discuss the continued production growth and if the Company is a take over target.

Here are the link to follow along with Robert’s commentary.

Fredrick Bell, CEO of Elemental Altus Royalties (TSX.V:ELE – OTCQX:ELEMF) joins us to review the key financial and operations metrics from 2022, key royalty partner updates, and the growth strategies for 2023.

2022 started out with a hostile takeover bid from Gold Royalty Corp which was fought off by the Company, then followed by an announcement in June of an at-market merger with Altus Strategies. Fred explains how this merger immediately increased the value of the Company and the overall royalty portfolio. We also highlight the recent transaction to acquire a portfolio of 19 uncapped royalties from First Mining Gold Corp (TSX: FF) (OTCQX: FFMGF).

We review the importance of the cornerstone Casserones copper royalty in Chile, the exploration growth potential at and around the Laverton Royalty, and also the ongoing bidding process for a new operating partner at the Ming Mine and royalty. 2023 has already seen a few new royalties acquisitions, and Fred believes there are a number of other transactions that will develop as the year unfolds.

If you have any follow up questions for Fred regarding Elemental Altus Royalties or the royalty sector please email us at Fleck@kereport.com and Shad@kereport.com.

John Rubino, Founder of the Dollar Collapse website and editor of his newsletter over at Substack, joins us for a broad discussion on the silver sector and precious metals, that then transitions into the macroeconomic factors moving the markets. We start off reviewing some of the data recently released from the Silver Institute showing that silver demand has increased by 38% since 2020 while mine production recorded a shortfall and was at a deficit in 2022. We discuss the hybrid nature of silver from the industrial demand side and the investor demand side of the equation, and ponder what higher prices and a widening supply deficit could mean for the silver mining stocks.

Next we shift over to the recent news of First Republic’s implosion, being another bank in a recent string of bank failures and challenges to bite the dust, and how that may be shifting some people to reallocate some cash in banks into more defensive investment products, like gold and silver. The discussion evolves into some of the larger economic data points on the horizon from inflation and the labor markets, to what a Fed “pause” after this week’s rate hike may be like, if the higher rates were allowed to persist for 9-12 months as they have messaged. John outlines some of the challenges already being seen due to higher rates in commercial real estate, residential real estate, automobile loan departments, and businesses being forced to roll over money borrowed at steeply higher interest rates. He also points out that another factor to have on the radar is when the “unicorn” companies start dying off in Silicon Valley.

Craig Hemke, Founder of TF Metals Report joins us to review some of the upcoming economic data points to watch out for over the next 2 weeks, as we continue to see choppy range-bound markets across the board. We discuss the overall health of the price action we’ve seen in gold, silver, and the precious metals mining stocks over the last 6 months in a 2 steps forward then 1 step back stair-step progression higher.

In the most recent past few weeks, Craig notes the sentiment change we’ve seen based on the markets Fed rate hike expectations, and a reduction in concerns with the banking sector, lessoning the bid for the PMs in sympathy. He points to the FOMC meeting and the ECB meeting next week as potential market moving events. No doubt, we’ll see market participants parsing Jerome Powell’s comments to establish the tone and direction of markets until the next Fed meeting.

We wrap up discussing how many generalist investors and financial media are still out of touch with the ongoing stagflationary environment that is likely morphing towards a recession later in the year, and how the Fed will need to reverse course from hiking to cutting, kicking off another monetary cycle.

Below is an email Robert Sinn, AKA Goldfinger send out to his subscribers this morning. As the title states it’s a rundown of Newmont’s earnings. There are some very interesting points he isolates within these earnings plus the chart at the bottom comparing gold’s returns to the miners since 1994 that jumped out to me. Please let us know your thoughts and what jumps out to you.

A big thanks to Robert for giving me the go ahead to post this for all of you.

Be sure to stay up to date with Robert on Twitter (click here) and on CEO.ca (click here).

… Here’s the email …

Newmont Corporation (NYSE:NEM) managed to engineer a better than expected quarterly earnings bottom line despite lower than expected gold production. Newmontgenerated $481 million of cash from continuing operations while reporting negative $45 million of free cash flow. Free cash flow was impacted by lower production volumes, timing of working capital changes and higher capital spend.

A few other items stood out from this morning’s report from Newmont: AISC (all-in sustaining cost) of production from its Nevada operation (NGM in combination with Barrick) rose to US$1,405 per ounce. * Once again Newmont is pointing to a back half weighted year with 55% of its annual production coming in the 2nd half of 2023. * Newmont sees AISC moderating to a range of $1,000-$1,100 per ounce and staying flat through 2027 I wonder if anyone reading this report actually believes that the cost of producing an ounce of gold will actually decline over the next four years.The Newmont chart leaves a lot to be desired, especially considering that gold is trading near $2,000/oz.NEM (Weekly)*The combined burdens of the gold mining industry cannot seem to keep up with the price of gold itself…In Gratitude, Robert

Sean Brodrick, Editor of Wealth Megatrends, and contributing analyst to Weiss Ratings Daily, joins us to share his reflections from the recent Money Show in Las Vegas, where he did 2 presentations for the audience there, and how these megatrends are filtering down into investing in commodities sectors like gold, silver, oil, nat gas, coal, and copper.

We cover a lot of ground in this discussion from the macroeconomic currents in the US with the debt ceiling debate, Fed policy, and recession expectations, to how things on the global stage are affecting things from OPEC cuts and Russian oil production. We also review how the Chinese economy reopening may counterbalance contracting economies, their increased investment in coal power in tandem with renewable energy, and the power generation impacts and demand that will arise from the growing focus on electric vehicles. We also note what Dr Copper may be saying about the global economic growth outlook.

Jordan Roy-Byrne, Founder and Editor of The Daily Gold, joins us to review a number of historical references during inflationary periods where the Fed has shifted from rate hikes to rate cuts in just a little more than 2 months.   For this reason, Jordan is not anticipating there to be much of a Powell Pause.  Instead he believes as the economic reality shifts over from inflation concerns to a contracting economic picture and recession concerns, that the central banks will have hiked right up to the point where they’ll need to pivot and start cutting rates back lower again.   We consider how a move like this would affect the US general equities and the precious metals sector, and Jordan will be watching the yield curve, gold versus the S&P 500, and the gold : silver ratio for clues as to when the PM sector should break out.

Quinton Hennigh, Technical Advisor at Lion One Metals (TSX.V:LIO & OTCQX:LOMLF & ASX:LLO) joins me to discuss the recent drill results, released yesterday, from the Tuvatu Gold Project, in Fiji. These results are at the URW1 lode, following results from our last interview from the URA1 lode. The Company has started initial mining from the URA1 lode and will be moving to the URW1 lode in the next 2-4 weeks.

Quinton and I discuss how the ongoing drilling, focused at different mineralized lodes, is guiding the drilling and confirming the size of the lodes. I also have Quinton compare the older drilling and results from the resource in the PEA to this current infill drilling. This all ties into the continuation of the initial mining and when the stockpiled ore will start going through the mill.

Marco Roque, President and CEO of Cassiar Gold (TSX.V:GLDC – OTCQX:CGLCF), joins us to review the release of assays from the final 13 holes from last year’s drill program. Cassiar Gold’s 2022 exploration program comprised 23,000 meters in 70 diamond drill holes focused on strategic areas of the Taurus Deposit, as well as significant vein prospects in Cassiar South and other brownfields targets in British Columbia.

These 13 drill holes just released to the market on April 20th, totaled 5,259 meters and further explored for extensions of, and for new parallel veins associated with the high-grade, historically producing mines at Cassiar South. Drill hole# 22MM-001 intersected 15.9 m of 0.98 g/t Au, including 5.9 m of 1.50 g/t Au, 120 m west of historical workings and 260 m northwest of previously mined vein segments at the Main Mine area. Drill hole# 22MM-003 intersected multiple mineralized intercepts returning 50.2 m of 0.66 g/t Au, including 8.6 m of 0.95 g/t Au and 10.3 m of 0.92 g/t Au, 15.6 m of 1.22 g/t Au, and 9.0 m of 1.01 g/t Au.

Marco unpacks what the exploration team learned from these results in context with the key takeaways from the overall 2022 drill program, and some of the areas of focus for the year to come. We wrap up discussing the recently announced financing, where the underwriters have agreed to purchase 12,700,000 flow-through units of the Company to be resold to charitable purchasers at a price of C$0.75 per Charity FT Unit on a “bought deal” basis for gross proceeds of C$9,525,000.

Dave Erfle, Founder and Editor of The Junior Miner Junky, joins us to review the strong daily rebound in gold within the context the last few weeks of the precious metals consolidating in sideways channel. The larger technical setup is still bullish and we reflect on the constructive nature of gold hanging around the $2000 level and silver hanging above $25. The miners have been a bit weaker lately, where we note the 10% corrective move in GDX and GDXJ on lower volumes. Even though the PM sector has had a nice rally for the last 6 months, ultimately it is going to take a breakout and monthly close above $2100 in gold to really bring in any more meaningful buying into the sector.

We touch on a number of the macroeconomic data points to be announced over the next 2 weeks that may move the markets, and also look at how the US dollar, interest rates, and general equities may factor into PM sector. We wrap up with firing off a few questions for The Junior Mining Junky to field on how he approaches investing in the junior gold and silver mining stocks, and what he looks for in quality exploration and development companies.

Segun Lawson, President and CEO of Thor Explorations (TSX.V:THX – US:THXPF), joins us to review the Q1 2023 operations at the Segilola Gold mine, located in Nigeria, and for the ongoing exploration around this Project, and at the Douta Project, located in Senegal.

Segilola gold production for the quarter was 20,629 ounces at an average grade of 2.95 grams per tonne of gold, where he mentioned the mill was still running above capacity and on target. The first quarter was forecast to be a bit lower throughput and grade than the rest of the year to come, due to higher strip ratios, but the mining will be moving into higher-grade areas more in the 3-4 g/t target range for the balance of the year. At Segilola there is also ongoing near-mine exploration at depth, but also regional targets, including the identification of new high grade quartz vein system within 15km of Segilola, with multiple high grade drillhole intercepts including 1m at 310g/tAu which equates to 10 ounces of gold per tonne.

At the Douta Project, there is ongoing metallurgical, geo-technical, and definition drilling underway to feed into the work needed for the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) slated for delivery to the market by year-end. Additionally, there is more step-out drilling and infill drilling at the Makosa deposit, to move resources from inferred to indicated, as well as expansion drilling around 3 key new mineralized satellite discoveries at the Mansa, Maka, and Sambara targets. There will be plenty of exploration news to report for the balance of the year, to expand the recently updated resource of 1.78 million ounces of gold.

If you have any questions for Segun regarding the ongoing work at Thor Explorations, then please email me at shad@kereport.com.

Mark Brennan, Founder, CEO, and Director of Cerrado Gold Inc (TSX.V: CERT) (OTCQX: CRDOF), joins us for a comprehensive overview of this relatively new growth-oriented gold producer and developer operating in Brazil and Argentina. We start off with how the company was formed a few years ago privately, before listing publicly in February of 2021, and how the team has worked together previously with both Desert Sun and Largo Resources.

We then dig in to the project details for both the large gold development Project, Monte Do Carmo, in Brazil, which will have a new Feasibility Study released to the market by the end of May; an also the producing Minera Don Nicolas gold mine in Argentina. Both projects have substantial exploration upside along their mineralized trends to keep expanding resources. In addition, both Projects also have further value being uncovered at depth, with proposed underground mining scenarios, beyond just the near-surface open pit development and exploration.

We wrap up the discussion having Mark share his background along with a few of the management team and board members that have worked together for 2 decades now, as well as management’s stake in the company, company financials, share structure, and key catalysts for the balance of the next 2 years.

Brien Lundin, Editor of The Gold Newsletter and our host at the New Orleans Investment Conference, joins us to discuss the sideways consolidation in precious metals sector at higher levels over the last few weeks, and why a breakout in pricing is what is needed to get more traction in the junior PM mining stocks. We reviewed the 2 steps forward, one step back, stair-stepping higher reaction for the last 6 months to the market expectations that Fed is getting near the end of their tightening cycle, and the eventual pause in any further rate hikes. Investor expectations using the Fed funds futures have made a huge turn from anticipating higher rates for longer, to now expecting a pause soon and potential cuts to rates later this year.

We wrap up discussing the mining stocks, where overall the larger cap names have been handsomely outperforming the moves in the metals on a percentage basis, but there are still highly discounted valuations and bargains to be found in companies that have derisked and defined resources in place. Brien mentions that companies with resources that are also doing good exploration work like Heliostar Metals (HSTR.V), Grande Portage Resources (GPG.V), and Maple Gold Mines (MGM.V) are some that have his interest at present.*

Over the past 2 months we have chatted a lot with HelioStar Metals (TSX.V:HSTR – OTCQX:HSTXF) President and CEO Charles Funk about the acquisition of the Ana Paula Deposit. The Company’s strategy is to focus on the high grade area of the deposit to move toward underground production. Yesterday, April 19th, the Company announced the start of drilling at this high-grade gold panel.

I have Charles provide an overview of the 3,000-3,600meter drill program. The program has 3 main goals; 1) to increase the size and grade of the resource and reserve, 2) provide the geotechnical information required to complete underground mine planning and 3) provide metallurgical samples testwork designed to improve gold recovery and simplify the mill flow sheet. Refer to Figure 1 below for an overview of the targets and historic drill results.

Here is a summary of historic drill results at the high-grade area.

  • 231 m grading 7.5 grams per tonne (g/t) gold
  • 120 m grading 11.2 g/t gold
  • 81.1 m grading 14.5 g/t gold
  • 57.6 m grading 18.6 g/t gold
  • 63.4 m grading 15.3 g/t gold

Jordan Roy-Byrne, Founder and Editor of The Daily Gold, joins us to review both the technical and fundamental set up in the markets, and why both the general equites and the precious metals sector can continue higher before a more meaningful market correction.   

Things will vary based on how many more rate hikes the Fed fits in before pausing, and how the soon the potential rate cuts could start later in the year based on economic data and a contraction or recession deepening.  Jordan lays out 2 scenarios that could play out, heading into the inevitable first central bank rate cuts, based on where pricing goes leading into that event.

The biggest debate for investors over the past few weeks, and even months, is will there be a larger recession and market pullback later this year? 

Jesse Felder, Founder and Editor of The Felder Report joins us to address this debate and share his thoughts on where the economy and markets are going. We ask his time frame and the key data is will be watching over the next two quarters. We also have Jesse share the sectors he thinks are in for the next major bull run.

Josef Schachter, Founder and Editor of the Schachter Energy Report and the Eye On Energy Report joins us to focus on the oil and natural gas prices.

After the short term breakdown in March for oil, down to $64/barrel, oil rebounded and broke above $80, up to $85.  Josef dives into the oil sector data and compares the OPEC announced cut to the actual production cut. He also shares demand numbers that continue to drop.

On the natural gas front we ask Josef is this sector is more likely to go on a run higher due to the continued depressed price.

Jeff Christian, Managing Partner at the CPM Group joins us to focus on the factors driving gold to over $2,000/oz and holding above that level. We have heard a wide range of opinions on what has continued to push gold higher in this most recent run so I wanted to get Jeff’s thoughts on it. He points to investment demand coming from a few key areas. This type of demand is much more important than some of the other factors, such as Geo-politics and war fears.

We also chat about the supply side of gold and how the majors are fairing with this higher gold price. Will we see majors look to expand production or stick to the focus of higher margin ounces?

Dave Erfle, Founder and Editor of The Junior Miner Junky, reviews the larger bullish technical setup in gold, silver, GDX, and GDXJ, and how different types of precious metals stocks are reacting to these higher prices. We start off discussing the technical setup, and that gold has been consolidating over $2000, silver over $25, and the larger cap PM stocks have been outperforming the upward moves in the metals for the last 6 months.

Next we discussed that in addition to the bullish longer-term 12 year cup & handle pattern that, another ratio he is watching is gold in relation to the S&P 500, as it approaches the 50% level once again. He also compares this set up to the period in the early 2000’s when gold had spend over a dozen years trying to break solidly above $500, out of a similar cup & handle pattern, and started to outperform the general US equities. We wrap up with getting Dave to outline how he’s been approaching investing in the gold and silver mining stocks in this environment.

Andrew Pollard, President and CEO of Blackrock Silver (TSX.V:BRC – OTCQX:BKRRF), joins us to review the recent drill results from the Tonopah North Lithium Project, as well as the coming exploration strategy at both Silver Cloud and the Tonopah West Project in Nevada.

At the Tonopah North Lithium Project, their option partners, Tearlach Resources (TSX.V: TEA – OTC: TELHF), just released high-grade lithium assays from 5 diamond core holes, with and additional 6 more holes still pending results back from the assay labs in the near future. Tearlach’s drilling has confirmed Blackrock’s original Tonopah North lithium discovery with core drill holes delivering grades that range from 40-85% higher than the corresponding original reverse circulation intercepts drilled by Blackrock. These results substantially increase the grade and expand the mineralized zone at the project. All drillholes intersected broad zones of lithium mineralization in excess of 400 ppm, each having intervals greater than 1,000 ppm Li, including the highest-grade intercept at Gabriel to date of 1,460 ppm Li;

Next, we discussed the drill plans or a Phase 1 drill program at its bonanza-grade discovery drillhole in Northwest Canyon on the Silver Cloud Project. The initial plan is to drill 2,000 meters starting in a few weeks and stepping out from the discovery made last year. Additionally on the exploration side, we highlight the 4,000 meters of drilling planned after that, later in the summer at the company’s flagship Tonopah West Project. With one of the highest-grade undeveloped silver-gold resources in the world, the goals will be to not only grow the resource through more drilling, but also a better interpretation of the prior drill holes and vein orientation, that will all be working towards an updated mineral resource early next year. There will be plenty of exploration news hitting the wires over the months to come from all 3 projects.

If you have any follow up questions for Andrew regarding Blackrock Silver, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.

John Rubino, Founder of the Dollar Collapse website and editor of his recently launched newsletter over at Substack, joins us for a broad discussion on macroeconomic factors moving the markets, and some specific investing trends in various commodities like farmland, gold, uranium, and resource stocks. We start off discussing expectations around Q1 earnings season, and if valuations and P/E ratios even mater any more. Next we discuss the huge challenge facing the commercial real estate industry, how it could spell contagion problems for regional banks and insurance companies, and how a further slowdown in bank lending could accelerate an economic contraction or push us into a recession.

This then leads into the larger concerns from other nations take note of more systemic issues in our banking sector, the forecasts for slowing growth, and the desire from the BRICS nations to start trading bilaterally outside of the US dollar. Because of the potential embedded inflation that this de-dollarization trend may result, John feels investors best protection is diversifying into tangible real goods and resources that the government can’t inflate away, and still sees a good opportunity in farmland, gold, uranium, and the related mining stocks.

Doc Jones, Private Investor and editor of DrJonesResourceInvestor.com, joins us to discuss different aspects of investing in the resource stocks in gold, silver, copper, nickel, lithium, oil, and natural gas. We start the discussion off with a change in outlook for the precious metals sector, where he has been more actively involved lately and taking on a few new positions. He mentioned his interest in the earlier stage explorer Regency Silver (TSXV: RSMX) (OTCQB: RSMXF) based on some initial encouraging drill results, and also that he has recently participated in a financing with Western Alaska Minerals (TSX.V: WAM) (OTC: WAMFF) as they continue to expand and derisk their copper-gold porphyry project.*

Next we jumped over to the critical minerals trend, and the huge amount of investor interest over the last few years, due to all the positive tailwinds we see behind the green energy policies and investment capital flows. He explains why he is more interested in investing in critical minerals like copper, nickel, zinc, and lithium, and outlines 2 companies at various stages of the mining cycle that he has invested in personally. He first mentioned Sigma Lithium (TSX.V:SGML, NASDAQ:SGML), a near-term lithium producer in Brazil, and then moved over to the battery metals developer Magna Mining (TSX.V: NICU; OTC: MGMNF), and recent exploration results returning solid nickel, copper, PGM values.*

Because of his background investing in the traditional oil and nat gas stocks for over 2 decades, we wrap up with his outlook on the energy space, with his continued focus on Canadian companies with more established teams and assets with true scale and stability, along with robust dividends. He noted both Birchcliff Energy (TSX: BIR; OTC: BIREF) as an example of a solid dividend paying companies with excellent financials and growth built in as nat gas prices improve.*

  • Doc Jones is not paid by any company to discuss these stocks, and these are simply what he is doing with his own money in his own portfolio, and this is not investment advice.

Craig Hemke, Founder of TF Metals Report joins us to discuss the lack of interest in gold and especially the gold stocks considering gold is a fraction away from all-time highs. One would expect the media to be covering the PMs more and commercials on TV for gold investments, much like what we saw back in 2011. This is not the case now… Maybe it’s because there are more options for investors to put money into or the lack of new funding avenues for companies, or maybe interest will never get back to those levels of a decade ago. Or maybe it’s just a matter of time before a flood of money comes into the space.

Greg Johnson, CEO and Executive Chairman of Metallic Minerals (TSX.V:MMG – OTCQB:MMNGF), and Chairman of the Metallic Group of Companies, also including Stillwater Critical Minerals (TSX.V: PGE – OTCQB: PGEZF) and Granite Creek Copper (TSX.V:GCX – OTCQB:GCXXF), joins us to recap the exploration news from Metallic Minerals that was just released to the market on April 10th at the Keno Silver Project in the Yukon. There has been an ongoing 3,265 meter drill program focused on target extension drilling at the advanced-stage targets (Caribou, Formo and Fox) in anticipation of an inaugural NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate for the Keno Silver project later in 2023.

  • Hole CH22-01 intersected two separate higher grade vein intervals within a broad zone of bulk tonnage mineralization. A 0.5 meter interval contained 348 (g/t) silver equivalent and another intercept of 0.5 m of 1,201 g/t Ag Eq bounding a zone of 34.2 m grading 38 g/t Ag Eq.
  • The southernmost drilling at the Caribou target demonstrated a further extension with 1,310 g/t Ag Eq encountered over 0.5 m at a near-surface depth of 44 m in hole CH22-05.

Next we discussed the ongoing exploration work still underway at the La Plata Project in Colorado, that had an initial copper resource put out in April of 2022, but drilling last year showed significant amounts of silver, gold, and even platinum group elements that are contributing to a robust mineralized system, that could potentially host multiple porphyry clusters. The exploration team is in planning to get this year’s exploration program mapped out, with plans to start up drilling late May or early June.

We also revisited the production royalty agreement at its Australia Creek property in the Klondike Gold District of Canada’s Yukon Territory. This is with Little Flake mining, a company owned and operated by Parker Schnabel of Discovery Channel‘s top-rated television series, “Gold Rush.” Greg unpacks that mining will be starting in June on their first royalty deal in their Klondike Alluvial claims and this can expand into more royalties along their on 5 ½ miles of alluvial gold claims.

Jordan Roy-Byrne, Founder and Editor of The Daily Gold, joins us to review the overall bullish posture that the precious metals sector has been in for some time; and while overbought, he feels the balance of probabilities is for higher metals prices before a more meaningful correction in the sector. Jordan is encouraged to see silver and the PM mining stocks outperforming gold recently, another point he reiterated was the positive breadth thrusts across the the advance/decline line and rate of change signals he follows, which is constructive for the whole sector.

As for concerns about the overbought conditions, he points out that in a true bull market that conditions can stay overbought longer than expected, and that corrective moves, like the 8% move down in gold that we saw in February/early March are more shallow and shorter than many are used to.

We wrap up with Jordan outlining that there is still plenty more room for upside appreciation in the metals and mining stocks, and that at this point in the newly developing secular bull market that buying and holding a well-selected portfolio, is more important that trying to overtrade the sector. In particular he highlights growth-oriented gold producers and silver stocks as two areas he believes will offer significant leverage to rising metals prices.

Dave Erfle, Founder and Editor of The Junior Miner Junky, joins us to discuss the technical setup in gold, silver, GDX, and GDXJ, and a recent historical analog that suggests the precious metals sector is ready for a major move higher. We start off discussing the technical setup, and that gold just put in it’s highest monthly and quarterly close in March, and was just $1 away from its highest weekly close in early April. After such a solid move, and despite having remained overbought, the PMs are not falling out of bed here and have not yet corrected down as much as many have been calling for. Gold has been hovering around $2020, while silver has been remained back above $25, and the more liquid PM stocks have been outperforming the upward moves in the metals for the last 6 months and especially since the banking crisis in March. Dave provides some support and resistance levels he is watching closely in the PM sector for the short to medium-term.

Next we discussed the longer-term 12 year cup & handle pattern that, if triggered, could resolve to a much higher price level in gold. Dave reiterates that what may cause an influx of new buyers to come in and push prices higher will be once the 12-year resistance level of $2000 is a solid floor moving forward. He also compares this set up to the period in the early 2000’s when gold had spend 15 years trying to break solidly above $500, out of a similar cup & handle pattern, and it eventually broke all the way up to $1921, essentially going up 4-fold. This similar big picture setup bodes well for much higher gold prices in the longer-term.

We wrap up with getting Dave to outline how he’s been approaching investing in the gold and silver mining stocks, favorable pricing environments, what to look for in management, how having a few optionality plays make sense, the importance of companies that are well-capitalized an know how to raise at the right times, and the leverage and outperformance in the mining shares that is still to unfold when the metals truly break out to new highs.

Marco Roque, President and CEO of Cassiar Gold (TSX.V:GLDC – OTCQX:CGLCF), joins us to provide a comprehensive exploration update from multiple areas of focus at the Cassiar Gold Project, in BC. Cassiar Gold’s 2022 exploration program comprised 23,000 meters in 70 diamond drill holes focused on strategic areas of the Taurus Deposit, as well as significant vein prospects in Cassiar South and other brownfields targets.

We review some of the recent bulk-tonnage style drill intercepts stepping outside of the existing pit shell at Taurus West, with drill hole# 22TA-180 intersecting 71.6 m of 1.54 g/t Au from 177.5 m down hole, including 23.5 m of 3.68 g/t Au, expanding mineralization beyond the resource block model along the Taurus West Fault. Results reported here contribute to the progressive expansion of mineralization both within and near the footprint of the Taurus Deposit and further demonstrate continuity of a higher-grade corridor of gold mineralization at the western extent of the deposit.

Next Marco outlined the seven holes totaling 2,380 meters, announced on April 4th, from the East Bain Extension and West Bain areas of the past-producing Bain vein system Bain vein target in the Cassiar South project area. Drill hole# 22EBX-103 intersected multiple mineralized intercepts which include:

  • 14.6 m of 2.21 g/t Au, from 159.5 m downhole, including 4.0 m of 5.05 g/t Au, identifying a potential offset continuation of the past-producing Bain vein system 90 m from previous drilling.
  • 2.16 m of 32.95 g/t Au from 361.9 m downhole, including 0.55 m of 123.50 g/t Au proximal to the Bain vein, and potentially representing a new parallel vein.

Results from 13 drill holes totaling 5,259 metres of drilling from this program are yet to be disclosed as the Company continues to await the return of additional assay results. Looking forward, the details are still being finalized for the 2023 drill program, but it will likely be of similar size to last year’s program, focused at Cassiar North, Cassiar South, and also testing additional regional targets like Wings Canyon, Lucky, and Snow Creek.

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to reflect on the importance of share structure when investing in junior gold and silver mining stocks. He makes the point that has to roll the dice more on assay risk with companies with tight share structures, as they could move up substantially on a good drill results, whereas one can wait until after assays are released on companies with more bloated share structures, where the good news may not move the needle quite so much.

Erik mentioned that with larger share structure in Gold79 Mines (AUU) (AUSVF) that he was happy positioning after the positive drill results, as the shares didn’t move much and yet the risk/reward set up on the exploration improved substantially. In contrast, Erik mentioned he is positioned in Irving Resources (IRV) (IRVRF) ahead or more assays being released because not only does he like the prospectivity of hitting, but they have a tighter share structure, and thus could move up more on positive results.*

We wrap up by discussing how he views the importance of the amount of outstanding warrants in a junior mining stock, what their strike price is, and if this factors into where pricing could get stalled out even on good news. Ultimately he feels like this just frustrates shorter-duration traders, but actually subsidizes longer-term value investors with more time to accumulate an under-valued fundamental picture unfolding over time.

Ryan King, Senior VP of Corporate Development and IR at Calibre Mining (TSX: CXB – OTCQX: CXBMF), joins us to recap the Q1 2023 operations results and the overall organically-funded exploration strategy, continuing grade-driven growth of the resources in both Nicaragua And Nevada.

There was consolidated quarterly gold production of 65,750 ounces and gold sales of 65,770 ounces, which was 27% increase in gold production compared to Q1 2022. The consolidated 2022 Mineral Reserves increased 370%, since acquisition in 2019, to 1,346,000 ounces gold, and the consolidated 2022 M&I Mineral Resources increased to 4,603,000 ounces gold.

We discussed the high-grade mining commenced ahead of schedule at Pavon Central open pit averaging a delivery rate 1,000 tonnes per day to the Libertad mill. The next key area of development and near-term production in the second half of this year will be coming from Eastern Boros, where permitting was approved last year in Q4 as well as commencement of construction. Both of these 2 new mining areas will continue adding in higher grade throughput through the Libertad Mill. There is also aggressive ongoing exploration focused on prior high-grade drill results from Panteon North, new zones around the Libertad Mill, Veta Azul, Volcan, and also new targets at Buena Vista and La Fortuna.

Next we transition over to the Nevada assets, and all the ongoing exploration work the company has underway around both the Pan Mine area and at the development-stage Gold Rock Project. The exploration team is encouraged by recent drill results stepping out from the known mineralization and finding higher grade gold intercepts at the Coyote target, as well as stepping out from the Pan Mine area. There are also some targets on drilling some deeper ‘Carlin Style’, sulfide mineralization at Gold Rock Deep. We wrap up by reviewing some of the recent high-grade gold intercepts that were released from the Golden Eagle Project in Washington state, the 2 million ounces of gold in the ground there, and some of the larger majors projects in the area that represents future optionality for this project.

Jordan Roy-Byrne, Founder and Editor of The Daily Gold, joins us to review the technical support and resistance price levels he is watching in gold, silver, GDX, and GDXJ. We start off reviewing the all-time high monthly and quarterly close we saw last week to close up March, and that we have a chance to make a new all-time high weekly close based on where things are currently if things hold up going into Friday’s close. Jordan is encouraged to see silver and the PM mining stocks outperforming gold recently, and noted that GDX and GDXJ did pop above key resistance yesterday, and we’ll need to see some follow though. Another point he stressed was that a key indicator he follows, the advance/decline line and rate of change is signaling that we may see a healthy breadth thrust across the gold and silver mining stocks, which is constructive for the whole sector.

Next we got into a nuanced discussion about where the PM mining stocks are at present, and that many of them should actually be referred to as cheap, rather than undervalued; with the later designation being reserved for companies that do have resource estimates or economic studies that indicate that they have true value that is not being properly factored in. For many stocks in the sector though, especially the earlier stage drill-plays, they don’t really have the demonstrated and defined value to leg to stand on, which is a key distinction. In addition, many producers, have seen considerable cost increases from a similar gold price 12 years ago or even 3 years ago, and thus their margins have been compressed, which explains why they are more cheap versus truly undervalued.

We wrap up with Jordan outlining that we are still quite early in this new secular bull market unfolding, and that based on different takes at the price projections from the cup & handle pattern, that there are logical ways to point to a gold price in the $3000 – $4000 range by late 2025. This kind of move will drag the whole precious metals sector up with it, and should offer some solace to investors that may have missed the move higher in PMs over the last 5-6 months, as there is still plenty more room for upside appreciation in the sector.

Nick Hodge, Co-Owner of Digest Publishing and editor of Foundational Profits and Hodge Family Office, joins us to review macro investing themes in general US equities and in the commodities resources stock in gold, copper, oil, uranium, and lithium.

We kick things off with the continued break higher in gold and gold equities over the last month, on the back of the banking crisis and expectations around the Fed tightening cycle coming to a pause. This is a wide-ranging discussion that gets into the continued yield curve inversions, if we are still heading towards a “double-whammy” recession, and how that could affect the demand for various commodities.

One of the topics reviewed is that while a longer-term fundamental thesis can be bullish, for something like Dr Copper, it still could show weakness in the medium-term with a contracting economy on the horizon. Investors can take advantage of longer-term macro trends by purchasing into weak corrective periods. We also discussed the recent OPEC+ cuts in oil production, and what that means for the energy space, the precious metals space, and the outlook they see for a slowdown in global growth and demand.

Nick makes the point that investors should use the volatility (both to the upside and downside) for compounding gains when positioning in or trimming out of resource sectors. We touch upon the continued volatility and poor sentiment in the uranium sector, despite a compelling macro fundamental backdrop, and he mentioned having done well getting positioned 2 months back in the more advanced companies that are dual-listed on the big boards like Energy Fuels (UUUU) (EFR), and enCore Energy (EU), while keeping a tight stop in place.

We also revisited the lithium sector, the recent pullback in Li prices due to China reopening, Liontown Resources (LTR.AX) turning down a major takeover offer, and some of the frothiness coming out of the lithium stocks over the last 2 months. While he had lightened up on some positions in the past 2 months, Nick noted that there have been companies like Patriot Battery Metals (PMET) and Critical Elements Lithium (CRE), that have pulled back to levels where he’s been a recent buyer once again.

Michael Wood, CEO and Director of Reyna Gold Corp. (TSX.V: REYG) (OTCQB: REYGF), joins us for an exploration update with the commencement of a 5,500 meter Phase 2 drill program at the flagship La Gloria Project; a 24,215 ha area located along the Mojave-Sonora Megashear trend in Sonora, Mexico.

We start off by highlighting the 4 different target areas of focus in 2023: La Republicana, Western, Las Carmelitas, and the Main Zone. The initial drill focus will be at La Republicana, with 9 holes stepping out to test extensions to the La Republicana Main Vein, which produced 59.00m of 1.45 g/t Gold in Phase 1 drilling. There are 20 holes overall planned for La Republicana, with a number of other targets that have been generated district-scale ongoing mapping, soil sampling, and magnetic and IP surveys.

Next we discussed that the exploration team at Reyna Gold is continuing to refine targets and just waiting on the final data from the IP survey to set up the drill plan at both the near-surface bulk mineralization at Las Carmelitas and the big high-density veins at the Western area. Additionally, there will be drilling allocated to following up on nice silver hit from last drill season at the Main zone.

We wrap up discussing the district scale size of this land package, along with the range of minerals found from precious metals – gold and silver, and base metals – copper and lead, to critical minerals – antimony, and tellurium. It reflects the large discovery potential of important key metals at a number of target for exploration this year, so there should be plenty of newsflow on tap in the months to come.

David Stein, President and CEO of Kuya Silver (CSE:KUYA – OTCQB:KUYAF) joins us to recap the drill result released yesterday, April 4th, from the Silver Kings Project in Ontario. A 3.6meter drill intercept was rush assayed by the Company due to what was seen in the core. The result was 74,418 g/t (2,393 oz/t) silver over 0.30 m (237.50 m to 237.80) within a composite interval of 16,838 g/t silver, 0.08% cobalt over 3.04 m (235.20 m to 238.24). This drill hole was at the Campbell-Crawford target.

We have David recap this hole and the other 6 drill holes (still to be assayed) from the Campbell-Crawford target area. We also discuss the history of this area and how this result ties into historic mining. There are also 6 holes form the North Drummond target area still at the assay lab.

Dave Erfle, Founder and Editor of The Junior Miner Junky, joins us to discuss the continued positive momentum higher in the precious metals sector, with gold around $2040 and closing in on the all-time high, silver back above $25, and the PM stocks starting to outperform. We start off getting his technical outlook on the strong monthly & quarterly close for gold in March, and the larger cup & handle pattern that, if triggered, could resolve to a much higher price level in gold. Dave reiterates that what may cause an influx of new buyers to come in and push prices higher will be once the 12-year resistance level of $2000 is a solid floor moving forward.

For the balance of the interview, we really cover a lot of ground on getting his pro investor tips on what kind of companies to be positioned in that will have the most upside torque in a rising metals price environment. We discuss looking for companies with well-defined and derisked multi-million ounce deposits, solid economic studies in place, quality management teams that have access to capital and a history of doing raises at the right times, good insider ownership of the stock from their own participation, a limited warrant overhang, and plans for a big-board dual-listing on the US exchanges.

John Rubino, Founder of the Dollar Collapse website and editor of his recently launched newsletter over at Substack, joins us to discuss resource stock investing trends in various commodities like oil, nat gas, gold, uranium, and copper. We start off with some of the macro drivers in the oil patch, and the recent OPEC+ production cuts which as buoyed crude prices back above $80 again. In contrast, natural gas is still down at very low levels, but John postulates that companies with more exposure to it may represent a contrarian buying opportunity as the rising oil prices may lift many stocks across the sector in sympathy.

With Gold there are a number of macro factors we discuss that are underpinning value in the precious metals, and John lays out the conditions we want to see for the PM mining stocks to get more of a bid. Wrapping up, we look at what commodities may still do well in the face of an overall slowing global economy, but counterbalanced with supply/demand factors. John points to underlying macro currents in both uranium and copper as areas of growth that may run higher, regardless of any economic contraction, and thinks there is still opportunity in the related mining stocks.

Ed Moya, Senior Market Analyst at OANDA joins us on a busy Monday to kick of Q2 2023 for markets.

OPEC cut production by around 1million barrels/day ahead of the meetings which is driving oil prices much higher – crude is over $80/barrel. Gold is off to a good start for Q2, now over $2,000/oz. This move could be supported by the weaker ISM data out of the US which is also leading to bonds moving higher, driving yields lower. We cover it all in today’s interview.

Taj Singh, President, CEO, and Director of NOA Lithium Brines (TSX.V: NOAL), joins us for a comprehensive overview of the Company projects, management team, financials, and work strategy for 2023. We start off with a introduction to how this company came together from some of the team and experience at both AbraSilver Resources and Minera Exar (Lithium Americas Corp/Ganfeng), and with substantial landholdings around 3 key salars in Argentina.

We have Taj break down the 6 drill holes planned in the 6,000 meter Phase 1 exploration program for this year at the flagship Rio Grande Project; with about half the holes planned in the known salar area testing the depth, and the other half of the program drilling 3 more holes around the main basin. Next we pivoted over to the 4-5 drill holes planned later in the year at the Arizaro Project, very near Lithium Chile’s project and recent good Li grades returned. Then further down the pipeline is the Salinas Grandes Project, which the team is still very excited to explore as it is located on another prospective lithium salar.

Taj outlines his background in the mining sector, and a few key people on the management team and board of directors, and then we get into the company financials, key stakeholders, share structure, warrant structure, and budget for this year’s exploration plans. We wrap up with the key catalysts and overall big picture vision for this newly launched lithium exploration company in the heart of the Lithium Triangle.

Brad Dochery, Founder, President and CEO of Source Rock Royalties (TSX.V:SRR) joins us to discuss a new acquisition, that was announced March 27th, where it will have a 5% gross overriding royalty (GORR) on three light oil properties in Central Alberta, operated by a private Calgary-based oil and gas company.

We started off contrasting this new royalty acquisition in Alberta, where the royalties are on more established oil wells and on maintaining solid operations with a water flood process, with the prior royalty acquisition announced November 28th of 2022 of a different royalty agreement in Saskatchewan that is more about drilling new wells to grow production. In the prior acquisition of a 2% GORR in S.E. Saskatchewan operated by Anova Resources Inc., and Elevation Oil & Gas Limited, Source Rock has received a drill commitment for 15 additional net horizontal wells to be drilled on Source Rock’s royalty lands prior to December 31, 2024.

This brings up a larger discussion with Brad, of how Source Rock Royalties structures it’s partner royalty deals, and how they are positioned in the overall energy royalties space in Canada, compared to their 3 larger cap peers. Brad outlines that company is still quite interested in making more royalty acquisitions in 2023 that will be longer-term accretive. The Company announced March 15th that is continues to pay a quarterly dividend, and is set to release it’s Q4 and full year 2022 financial results in mid-April.

John Miniotis, President and CEO of AbraSilver Resource Corp (TSX.V:ABRA – OTC:ABBRF), joins us to outline continued high-grade silver drill hits over wide intercepts from the JAC Target at the Diablillos Project in Argentina.

Yesterday, on March 29th exploration news was released where drill hole# DDH 23-010intersected numerous zones of silver mineralization in oxides, including 45.5 metres at 233 g/t Ag and drill hole# DDH 23-007 returned very high-grade silver mineralization in oxides, with 2,320 g/t Ag over 4.0 meters. This high-grade interval demonstrates that there are zones within the JAC system that will raise the overall grade of the mineral resource.

John outlines why the exploration team is so encouraged by the continued Phase 3 program drill success at this JAC Zone, with 16,000 meters and 74 holes drilled to date, but only 38 holes have been released to the market thus far. There are plans for another 6,000 meters for Phase 3 taking the total up to around 22,000 meters by mid-year, and then all results going into a maiden resource on this JAC target area in September, followed by incorporating other metallurgical work, environmental and permitting work, and other derisking work going on into a Preliminary Feasibility Study by year end.

We also discussed the potential in Phase 4 to drill at depth testing some of the copper targets under the JAC and Occulto deposits, as well as the long hole drilling underway at a second project, La Coipita, testing for a potential high-grade porphyry system.

Jordan Roy-Byrne, Founder and Editor of The Daily Gold, joins us to review why the technical and fundamental picture is setting up to have gold poised on the cusp of breaking out into a new secular bull market, that will lift up the entire precious metals sector to higher levels. All eyes will be fixed on where gold closes this month and quarter this coming Friday. A close above $1953 in March would be the highest quarterly close on record, and a close above $1986 would be the highest monthly close. Gold is presently within range of those resistance levels, so they are very much on the table for how things finish this week. Ultimately though, it is likely going to take breakout in gold to all-time highs above $2100 to really get some momentum going in PM mining stocks and silver.

From a macro sense, Gold has been continuing to outperform general equities and continues to make higher levels against foreign currencies. Also, to further validate that Gold is setting up in a new bull market, when Gold corrected in February and early March it was only about 8% over that time period, and then quickly recovered those losses and blasted back higher once again for the balance of March. This is in alignment with what one would expect to see in bull market corrections.

Jordan feels that whether this breakout move higher in gold to new all-time highs happens in a few weeks or a few months, he feels it is coming and that it will lift the GDX and GDXJ to new highs once it then starts to really gain traction on the way to $3000 in the longer term. In addition, a breakout to new highs in gold will also drag silver prices higher along with it, but ultimately, it is when silver can break through the $26-$28 resistance zone that it can then break decisively back up north of $30 and beyond.

Dave Erfle, Founder and Editor of The Junior Miner Junky, joins us to discuss the continued move higher in the precious metals rally over the last few weeks, fueled by banking uncertainty and expectations that the Fed tightening cycle is nearing its end. Dave brings up a few key factors that are stacking up for a potential breakout higher in gold as we approach the month-end and quarter-end closes this Friday. Gold and some of the mining stocks are forming ascending symmetrical triangles, along with a 12 year and smaller 3 year cup and handles, with a propensity to break out higher out of those chart patterns. In addition there is a fairly bullish set up on the COT Commitment Of Traders reports. One more key factor is that recently silver and PM mining stocks have started to outperform gold again and are following in this continued leg higher in March.

We spend the latter part of the discussion pointing out how little generalist interest there still is in the sector as gold approaches a potential breakout, and what may cause an influx of new buyers to come in and push prices higher. Dave feels once the $2000 level is a solid floor in gold pricing, that more institutions and investors will start getting more interested. We also review that it may just be more generalists waking up to the outperformance of gold across the board over most other asset classes from stocks, to bonds, to energy, to commodities, to currencies, that causes more investors to get a small allocation to the precious metals sector.

Sean Brodrick, Editor of Wealth Megatrends, and contributing analyst to Weiss Ratings Daily, joins us to share his thoughts on where we are in the macroeconomic landscape, and how that is filtering down into commodities like gold, oil, nat gas, lithium, and uranium.

We start off discussing the divergence from what the Fed has been messaging as far as more rate hikes to keep fighting inflation, versus the market expectations of the rate hikes being mostly done and starting to discount multiple rate cuts for 100 basis point cut by year-end. Sean believes the reality is likely somewhere in the middle of these two outlooks, and points out that there are other things driving the commodities sector like the Chinese reopening and policies around energy.

Overall he remains bullish on gold and the precious metals mining stocks, as well as oil stocks and lithium stocks, but is still not interested in natural gas stocks or uranium stocks until we see more catalysts and traction in both sectors.

Robert Sinn, known as Goldfinger over at CEO.ca and writer at the Energy and Gold website, joins us with his technical outlook in gold and silver, a ratio chart of gold versus the financial sector, and what they mean in relation to macroeconomic trends in motion over varying investors time horizons. We start off discussing the importance of the upcoming weekly/monthly/quarterly close in gold, to see if the precious metals can break out of the range they’ve been trading in. We also review the longer-term monthly chart as to the performance of gold over the last 20+ years in relation to inflation and it’s definitely outperformed, and looks poised to continue to do so over time.

Next we shift over to the chart of gold vs (XLF) financial sector SPDR fund, and discuss the current setup in the business cycle, and that we are entering a period where gold will likely outperform the financial sector. This leads to a broader discussion on looking at technical analysis with the overlay of fundamental data points, to get a more holistic view on market action and unfolding cycles and patterns.

We wrap up with getting Robert take on what factors will drive gold, silver, and the PM mining stocks to new higher price levels, and the importance of attracting more generalist investors into the sector.

Marc Chandler, Managing Partner at Bannockburn Global ForEx and Editor of the Marc To Market website, joins us for a detailed review of market expectations and reactions to the FOMC meeting earlier this week and the ongoing concerns about the banking sector, both in the US and in Europe.

We start off with some of Marc’s main takeaways from Jerome Powell’s press conference, after the Fed hiked the anticipated 25 basis points to continue fighting stickier and higher inflation, yet in the face of continued investor outflows from the financial sector. The US Invesco KBW Regional Banking ETF (KBWR) was down over 30% in just the last 7 weeks, and European AT1 ETFs are down 21% in 7 weeks in a row, and down 8.5% on just this Friday. We note the market expectations between trends in the breakevens for inflation and in the expectations transitioning to a “Powell Pause” and now multiple rate cuts projected in the 2nd half of this year. Marc outlines that the gap has never been so wide between what the market is anticipating and what the Fed is forecasting, and feels both sides have slightly exaggerated expectations. We discuss that the Fed has gone from behind the curve on inflation, to now behind the curve on the developing recession.

Next we discuss some thoughts on to the Fed’s balance sheet expansion over the last few weeks, and whether this is wiping out the reduction in their balance sheet from their ongoing pledge for quantitative tightening. Marc distinguishes that the increase in their balance sheet is not due to the quantitative easing, and is more a liquidity loan to shore up banks and their depositors for the short-term, but the market still sees the expanding balance sheet as inflationary, while the financial woes and falling interest rates and bank lending will be deflationary. We wrap up discussing the flight to safe have assets like bonds, the Japanese Yen, and gold over the last few weeks, but not really the US Dollar, and Marc has some nuanced thoughts on each sector.

Brian Leni, Founder and Editor of The Junior Stock Review, joins us to reflect on how macroeconomic factors have driven the prices of the precious metals and base metals higher, but that many of junior explorers and developers resource stocks are not keeping up with these gains in the underlying metals. We review how he looks at metals price assumptions in relation to valuations of companies with or without defined ounces or pounds in the ground, and whether he prefers more defensive companies insulated against lower prices, or optionality stocks that will outperform in a rising price environment.

We wrap up by having Brian outline the “3 Biases” he feels are hurting investor’s performance, and that he has talked about recently at mining conferences and sector interviews. It is well worth investors time to listen to how he breaks down 1) confirmation bias 2) the bias of over-influence from social proof and 3) the misweighing bias of not doing the most important things first before investing.

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to recap his boots on the ground takeaway from the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) conference, where he noted retail investors were mostly not engaged and yet many of the larger investors, producers, and multi-national conglomerates were out talking with junior explorers and development companies and looking to take strategic positions.

We discussed a few anecdotal encounters he saw like some of the Hecla Mining (HL) team visiting with Western Alaska Minerals (WAM) booth, or several folks from Japanese mining and manufacturing conglomerates visiting multiple times with Magna Mining (NICU) at their booth. This led to chatting about how, case in point, after the PDAC that B2Gold (BTO) (BTG) took a strategic stake in Snowline Gold (SGD) for a large premium. We also reviewed how recently AngloGold Ashanti (AU) took a strategic earn-in position in Inflection Resources (AUCU), or Newcrest Mining (NCM) took a strategic earn-in position in Headwater Gold (HWG), or that Freeport MacMoRan just took a strategic earn-in position in ArcWest Exploration (AWX). It is clear that this trend of larger Majors positioning in Juniors along with high net worth investors, capital groups, multi-national mining conglomerates, and even manufacturers is on the rise and will continue with juniors valued at such attractive levels.*

We wrap up with getting Erik’s final big picture takeaways from the PDAC convention, if he’d go back, if he’d truly gotten an edge by going as an investor, and if nothing else the sentiment gauge it offered on the sector and the ability to size up the character of mining management teams in person.

Craig Hemke, Founder and Editor of TF Metals Report, joins us on Thursday as gold, silver and the PM mining stocks continued to ratchet higher, post Powell press conference and FOMC meeting on Wednesday, and on the back of several weeks of concerns regarding recent bank collapses.   We discuss how quickly the Fed funds futures markets shifted from not expecting any rate cuts until 2024, to now pricing in 4 cuts by year end, with the first potentially starting as soon as June or July this summer.  This dramatic and swift change in expectations is starting to mirror the years of 2010 and 2019 as Craig had forecasted may be how the year unfolds in his 2023 Macrocast in January.    The discussion goes into a number of areas on central bank policy, interest rates, tracking unemployment data, and then drilling down into the PMs by looking at the COT positioning and pricing action on the charts.

Brien Lundin, Editor of The Gold Newsletter and our host at the New Orleans Investment Conference, joins us to discuss the rally we’ve seen in the precious metals sector the last few weeks, based on receiving a safe haven bid due to concerns in the banking sector, and then in reaction to the Fed’s FOMC meeting as they are getting near the end of their tightening cycle. We review how investor expectations using the Fed funds futures have made a huge turn from anticipating higher rates for longer, to now expecting a pause soon and potential cuts to rates as soon as this summer.

Next we review that gold has been getting more coverage and references in main-stream financial media, and while that raises concerns with contrarian investors, we make the point that we will need to see this kind of awareness grow if generalist investors are to become at least partially allocated to the gold, silver, and the PM mining stocks.

We wrap up discussing the mining stocks, where there are still highly discounted valuations and bargains to be found in companies that have derisked and defined resources in place. When asked if there was a better setup at present in the precious metals or battery metals, Brien feels there is more immediate upside rerating potential in the PM stocks, compared to the more overbought lithium sector, but notes that there are copper stocks with good gold and silver exposure in their deposits, that allow investors to diversify across multiple commodities.

Ewan Downie, CEO and Director of I-80 Gold Corp (TSX: IAU – NYSE: IAUX), joins us for a comprehensive exploration strategy update at Ruby Hill, Granite Creek, and Cove, the bid to takeover Paycore Minerals (TSX.V: CORE), a review of the development work and residual heap leach production in 2022, and what the overall work plan is for 2023.

We start off noting the keen investor interest in the series of news releases from last year and early this year demonstrating that a new discovery of bonanza-grade polymetallic CRD mineralization was made at the Hilltop Zone, part of the Ruby Hill Project in central Nevada. This area is now one of the key areas of exploration focus moving forward, returning attractive values of gold, silver, zinc, and lead in a series of drill intercepts. The FAD Deposit, that Paycore Minerals has been delineating, is just south of this Hilltop Zone area, and Ewan outlines the synergies of the 2 projects being combined.

One of the key advantages that i-80 Gold has, is having the Ruby Hill processing center already permitted and most of the sunk cost and infrastructure in place. This leads to a larger discussion about the unrecognized value of all the work, sunk cost, existing infrastructure, permitting, and scarcity of the additional Lone Tree processing center, which alone is worth more than the current market cap of the Company, not even counting the Ruby Hill processing center in addition to that.

This will be a busy year of exploration at all 3 properties, and we start by having Ewan review the definition and resource drilling going on at Granite Creek to open the deposit along 5 levels. This work is building towards an updated resource estimate for this Project, as well as a Feasibility Study for the underground OG Zone, and PEA for the South Pacific Zone of Granite Creek. Next we discuss the 40,000 meters of ongoing drilling at Cove planned to continue to expand high-grade gold resources there. Next, he outlines that the lion’s share of drilling will be ongoing at the Hilltop Zone at Ruby Hill, where there are still 25 holes drilled that have not been reported yet, and plenty more drilling on tap. Lastly, there is also a PEA and Resource Estimate slated for the Ruby Deeps gold deposit at Ruby Hill for later in the year or early next year.

Ewan expects to see substantial growth to the Company’s total current resources of 14.5 million ounces of gold, and an additional 180 million ounces of silver, as all the drilling underway is incorporated into these different resource updates later this year.

If you have questions for Ewan regarding the ongoing work and strategy at i-80 Gold Corp, then please email Shad@kereport.com.

Christopher Aaron, Founder of iGold Advisor and Senior Editor for GoldEagle.com, joins us to share his technical and larger macro outlook for the precious metals sector, and noting the break to new all-time highs in gold, and eventually silver is coming. We start off reviewing the false breakdown in gold below the $1980 support last fall, and how conversely to the 2013 waterfall decline, that the yellow metal actually rallied very strongly in Q4 and into Q1 of 2023.

He noted on Tuesday, at the time of this recording, that Gold had briefly pierced the $2000 level again for the 3rd time on Sunday evening/Monday morning, but that often the 3rd attempt to break a pricing level fails. However, after gold further consolidates the recent pop higher, that he believes the next attempt will have gold break up through $2078 to makes new all-time highs. With regards to silver he believes it will follow suit, and eventually the prior all-time high at around $50 will become a vacuum sucking prices up there to eventually test and break that level higher.

Another key contributing data set that Christopher is watching for confirmation is that gold has broken out to new all-time highs in 4 currencies; the Japanese Yen, British Pound, Australian Dollar, and New Zealand Dollar. In addition gold is getting close, up near technical pricing resistance in 3 more currencies; the European Euro, the Canadian Dollar, and the Swiss Franc. Moves to all-time highs in other key global currencies often precede a move higher in gold in US Dollar terms.

Lastly, we wrap up with the glaring disconnect in mining stock valuations at today’s metals prices, compared to where they have been valued during previous periods of similar high gold and silver price levels. Christopher dispels the notion that it is completely due to simply dilution of share counts or inflation, because many of the development stage companies have also drilled out far more ounces in the ground increasing their resources substantially, or further derisked projects, picked up additional land claims, and even put out PEA and PFS economic studies highlighting the viability of their projects. He goes on to highlight 2 such companies that he is invested in, Bravada Gold (TSX.V: BVA) and Sirios Resource (TSX.V: SOI), that he feels represent compelling valuations at present.

Jordan Roy-Byrne, Founder and Editor of The Daily Gold, joins us to share his technical and macro outlook for the precious metals sector, with a key technical factor to watch being what price gold closes this month and quarter. A close above $1953 in March would be the highest quarterly close on record, and a close above $1986 would be the highest monthly close. Gold is presently within range of those resistance levels, so they are very much on the table for how things finish next week.

We’ve seen a solid move higher in the precious metals sector off the recent corrective lows a few weeks ago, on the back of the recent banking concerns continuing to roil markets. Taking a step back for review, this brief and shallow pullback in the PMs during February and early March, after having run significantly higher for months leading up to that, is in alignment with what one would expect in the early stages of a new bull market. Gold only corrected about 8% over that time period, and has now, once again, quickly recovered those losses and has been heading higher once again in mid- March.

Jordan noted that aside from the reaction we see for the balance of the week and month from the Fed’s hike, and potential comments from Jerome Powell, that he is also keeping a close on how economic data reports come in as well as the trends in the interest rates yield curve, because the catalyst for a change in course from the Fed will be evidence that the we are nearing a recessionary route, and that would likely trigger a move in gold to really break out above $2100. This breakout in the metals is what is really what is needed to expand the margins for gold mining stocks and the rationale behind them catching up and then outperforming.

David Cole, President and CEO of EMX Royalty Corp (TSX.V: EMX) (NSYE: EMX), joins us for a comprehensive update on some of the key Company production, development, and exploration updates across their portfolio of royalties, option properties, and strategic share holdings. We start off by outlining their unique triple-pronged approach to growing value by generating royalties through early stage prospect generation, by making strategic acquisitions of undervalued royalties, and by holding substantial strategic equity positions in other mining companies.

David reviews that EMX Royalty holds a portfolio of 262 land holdings, 171 royalties, and 40 cash-flowing royalties; of which 5 are on actively producing mines. We review the 5 key producing royalties projects, the more than a dozen development projects that are further derisking their properties on the pathway towards production, and the 40 projects that are cashflowing and bringing in substantial revenues into the Company through defined pre-production payments, lease option payments, and staged gate payments. We highlight that EMX just received US $3 Million milestone payment for the Parks -Salyer Royalty Property in Arizona, from Arizona Sonoran (TSX:ASCU | OTCQX:ASCUF), as a example of these types of value drivers.

We also highlighted some recent transactions starting with EMX establishing the Idaho-focused explorer, Scout Discoveries Corp, while retaining a 19.9% interest, 3.25% NSR royalty on each of the 14 precious & base metal projects, as well as AAR and milestone payments. We also used the recent transactions of the agreement to sell Råna battery metal project in Norway to Kingsrose Mining, and EMX selling three projects in Sweden to Copperhead Mineral AB, as examples of the pedigree of their team to find value on the front end that is attractive to partner companies, that then creates cash-flowing lease and gated payments and future royalties for EMX.

We wrapped up highlighting the value creation, even at the early stage of projects, through true exploration noting the announcement on Feb 16th of drill hole # DD22-YA187 with an intercept of 17.8 meters averaging 4.01 g/t gold, at the 100% owned Yarrol Project in Queensland, Australia. The exploration team has since gone on to drill and assay some of the manganese-cobalt mineralization and mineral sands that show grades of up to 1% cobalt along with other battery metals like manganese, nickel, and copper. This is the prospect generation side of the business, where the company will now look for another partner company to take on this project, and is indicative of the business model they’ve been building for 20 years.

If you have any questions for Dave regarding EMX Royalty Corp, then please email Shad@kereport.com.

Dave Erfle, Founder and Editor of The Junior Miner Junky, joins us to review precious metals rally of the last 2 weeks, fueled by banking uncertainty and upcoming Fed policy expectations. Now that the PMs are digesting and consolidating this recent blast higher, he provides the technical levels he is watching in gold. Dave points out that across the board, gold has been outperforming most other asset classes from stocks, to bonds, to energy, and in relation to most other commodities or currencies.

It has been frustrating to see the gold and silver stocks not providing the anticipated upside leverage to the moves in the underling metals; however, Dave remains firm that seeing gold close on a monthly and quarterly basis over the key psychological $2000/oz resistance area is what should be a major driver to bring more generalists into the PM sector. His advice to investors is that it’s better to be frustrated while accumulating into weakness, rather than to be out of position for a breakout and then be frustrated chasing the FOMO higher.

Segun Lawson, President and CEO of Thor Explorations (TSX.V:THX – US:THXPF), reviews the news out yesterday, March 20th, on the updated total Douta Resource of 1.78 million ounces of gold. This is an increase of 144% in total resource as compared with the 2022 maiden mineral resource estimate declared for Douta. With 40,000 meters of drilling planned for 2023, the Company is continuing to expand the resources at the Makosa ore body, which now has grown to a 7km strike length, and also incorporates the Makosa Tail area.

The exploration strategy at Douta is to keep doing step-out drilling and infill drilling at the Makosa deposit, to move resources from inferred to indicated, as well as expansion drilling around 3 key new mineralized satellite discoveries at the Mansa, Maka, and Sambara targets. There will be plenty of exploration news to report for the balance of the year, and the next milestone after that will be to wrap some economics around the Douta project in a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) by year-end.

We also discussed the organic growth potential with the on-going exploration around Segilola mine in Nigeria, at depth under the current pit shell, and along strike at a number of nearby targets in search of nearby satellite pits. Segun highlighted some of the recent high-grade gold intercepts announced last month from the nearby Western Prospects area, with drillhole # SGD238 intersecting 2 meters at 227 g/t gold from 80m, including 1 meter at 310 g/t gold. Drillhole # SGD235 returned intercepts of 3.1 meters at 14.32g/t gold from 28m. In addition to growth through the drill bit, there is also the possibility of inorganic growth that could come from acquiring nearby projects, or partnering on other development projects in Nigeria and abroad in West Africa.

If you have any questions for Segun regarding the ongoing work at Thor Explorations, then please email us at either fleck@kereport.com or shad@kereport.com.

Andrew Pollard, President and CEO of Blackrock Silver (TSX.V:BRC – OTCQX:BKRRF), joins us to outline the recent capital raise and the exploration strategy for those funds raised at the silver and gold focused projects of Tonopah West and Silver Cloud, as well as the Tonopah North Lithium Project. We start off unpacking the recently closed private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of C$4,385,166 consisting of 11,851,800 units of the Company at a price of $0.37per Unit; where each Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company and one-half of one (1/2) Common Share purchase warrant at $0.50 until March 17, 2026.

We then moved the conversation into the exploration on tap for this year, starting with the Tonopah North Lithium Project. Tearlach Resources, earning in as option partners on this Project, have drilled 6 diamond core holes, rushing 2 of them at the assay labs, and still awaiting all the assays to report in the near future. Andrew highlights 2 other lithium companies nearby, along the same mineralized trend in Nevada, with key upcoming catalysts, that highlight where the valuation of this lithium mineralization could grow over time if the mineralization is of a similar nature.

Next, we discussed the news announced last month, that it is finalizing drill plans and permitting drill sites for a Phase 1 drill program at its bonanza-grade discovery drillhole in Northwest Canyon on the Silver Cloud Project. The initial plan is to drill 2,000 meters starting in April, stepping out from the discovery made last year. Additionally on the exploration side, we highlight the 4,000 meters of drilling planned after that, later in the summer at the company’s flagship Tonopah West Project. With one of the highest-grade undeveloped silver-gold resources in the world, the goals will be to not only grow the resource through more drilling, but also a better interpretation of the prior drill holes and vein orientation, that will all be working towards an updated mineral resource early next year. There will be plenty of exploration news hitting the wires over the months to come from all 3 projects

John Rubino, Founder of the Dollar Collapse website and editor of his recently launched newsletter over at Substack, joins us to respond to all the market volatility around the banking sector, central banks tightening into a slowing economy, and the massive risks to pensions and the derivatives markets if more sectors unwind.  All of these ongoing risks highlight why John believes that owning gold and silver or commodities like oil and uranium will be where investors will flock if conditions continue to deteriorate in paper assets.   

We draw some comparisons from this recent bailing out of troubled banks to the bailouts of failed financial businesses in the 2008-2009 Great Financial Crisis, and point out how many issues were never fixed and that many lessons were not learned.  Could systemic risks that are all so entangled on banking balance sheets get to spot where they become too big to bail?

I am happy to officially introduce to the KE Report a very well-known technician and market analyst, Michael Oliver, founder of Momentum Structural Analysis.

This is wide-ranging discussion where we unpack the macroeconomic themes and technical momentum trends in general US equities, bonds, gold, silver, and commodities. We start off reviewing the longest and steepest move higher in general stock market indexes from 2009 to 2021, fueled by a constant injection of central bank liquidity, and how the dynamics have drastically changed since then with popping of that inflated bubble and general equities starting to unwind. Next, we look at the stark underperformance of bonds last year even over correcting equities, when under normal circumstances they would have garnered more of a safe haven bid. We then move in the relative strength that gold and silver showed in 2022, compared to almost all other asset classes, something he expects to continue moving forward.

Looking back at the 3 other bull markets in precious metals over the last 50 years, Michael outlines that in each of those there was a 7-fold to 8-fold nominal increase in gold prices from the major low to the major high. He goes on to point out that thus far gold has basically only doubled from it’s 2015 low of $1046, and there is plenty of room for upside appreciation as the bull market continues to unfold to match the prior 3 periods. He notes that in this recent bull market move, gold has tried 3 other times to break out above all time highs, and believes this 4th uptrend is taking hold and will move to new highs.

In addition to gold continuing to outperform general equities, Michael also expects them to outperform the rest of the commodity complex over the next few years. He is still bullish on the commodities sector relative to other general sectors, but still believes the largest torque and upside potential will be in both gold and silver.

Jeff Christian, Managing Partner at the CPM Group, joins us for a discussion on the overall supply picture in the mining sector, and specifically what the major gold and silver mining producers are focused on. This is a wide ranging discussion that gets into the constant need for the larger producers to replace reserve as they are continually depleting their assets through extraction.

One area that is often missed by investors is that many of these larger mining companies are already sitting on very large resources, not currently held in reserves, that can jump categories as metals prices rise, and thus lifting the underlying price assumptions and moving resource into reserves. As for acquisitions, most of these larger producers are more interested in pursuing advanced and de-risked development projects or already producing mines from the smaller companies, rather than taking on so much risk acquiring earlier stage companies.

We also review how the size of deposits that have their interest have moved up from simply 1 million ounce deposits to now multiple million ounce deposits. Next we discuss how jurisdiction risk can play into where the majors are focused, and we note the trend back into safer jurisdictions with better infrastructure and rule of law. We wrap up with the benefits and disadvantages for juniors when larger companies take a strategic stake in them for helping fund earlier stage exploration.

Craig Hemke, Founder and Editor of TF Metals Report joins us for a discussion focused on the recent US bank collapses followed by a reversal in the yield curve. Before the news on the few banking collapses the yield curve was so inverted the last time we saw this was back in the early 80s. The short end of the curve crashed after the news but the overall yield curve is still inverted.

We discuss the market shift this week back towards risk-on as markets bounced and are up for the week. Craig thinks this is just the start of major issues for the system and it will further lead the Fed to pause hikes and possibly cut rates later this year.

We also intermix some macro fundamentals and trading strategies into the discussion, and use the very oversold nature of the uranium mining stocks and ugly looking charts to discuss the difference between longer-term value investing as a contrarian investor in fundamentally sound oversold sectors or companies, versus short-term investing with the trend of momentum in a primary uptrend. Steve also discusses the importance of position-sizing, and to aware of sentiment extremes to the upside as well as the downside.

Jordan Roy-Byrne, Founder and Editor of The Daily Gold, joins us to share his technical and macro outlook for gold, silver, and the PM mining stocks now that we’ve seen a bump in precious metals sector on the back of the recent banking concerns continuing to roil markets. One of the key takeaways Jordan has noted is that gold is getting very close to making new highs versus foreign currencies and is gaining traction versus the S&P 500 and general equities. Those 2 factors usually have preceded a rise in US dollar terms and a breakout to new highs there as well. The other key technical factor to consider is $1950 area of monthly resistance as we close up March and also the quarter. A meaningful close above that level would be a positive technical factor for the whole sector.

Next, we followed up on last week’s conversation where he had pointed out the risks are still present, if the recessionary pressures were to intensify and if general equities corrected down, for silver and the PM mining stocks to go back and retest their lows from last year. While that is still a potential concern to consider over the next few months, Jordan is more constructive that a move higher in gold would eventually drag silver and the mining stocks higher in tandem. We wrap up by discussing how mining stocks may respond in both the environment of a medium-term pullback in a recessionary route, or in a break out move by gold above $2100.

John Miniotis, President and CEO of AbraSilver Resource Corp (TSX.V:ABRA – OTC:ABBRF), joins us to outline continued high-grade silver drill hits over wide intercepts from the JAC Target at the Diablillos Project in Argentina.

Just today, news was released where drill hole# DDH 23-004 encountered the all-time highest-grade silver intercept recorded on the entire Diablillos project to date and the best grade-thickness intercept to date at the new JAC Zone. This drill hole intersected a broad zone of 14.0 meters at 3,025 g/t Ag and 0.21 g/t Au starting from a down-hole depth of 136 meters, including the bonanza grade intercept of 32,481 g/t Ag and 0.74 g/t Au over 1.0 meter.

John outlines why the exploration team is so encouraged by the continued Phase 3 program drill success at this JAC Zone, as these results just followed another wide silver intercept reported on Feb 27th, where drill hole# DDH 22-083 intersected a broad zone of high-grade silver mineralization with 25.0 meters at 774 g/t silver, 0.28 g/t gold and 1.36% copper, starting from a down-hole depth of 159 meters. Many of the prior drill holes were also over larger 20-40 meter intercepts of mineralization near surface, making this area of prime interest for the upcoming resource estimate and PFS to be released later this year.

The Company already released a Resource Estimate for the Oculto Deposit on November 3rd of last year, but the focus now is for this expanded 22,000 meter Phase 3 drill program at the JAC Target to be released over the next few months, and then put into a maiden resource on this JAC target area in September, followed by incorporating other metallurgical work, environmental and permitting work, and other derisking work going on into a Preliminary Feasibility Study by year end.

If you have any follow up questions for John regarding at AbraSilver, then please email us at Fleck@kereport.com and Shad@kereport.com.

Ryan King, Senior VP of Corporate Development and IR at Calibre Mining (TSX: CXB – OTCQX: CXBMF), joins us to recap the full year 2022 operations, production guidance for 2023, and the overall organically-funded exploration strategy, continuing grade-driven growth of the resources in both Nicaragua And Nevada.

Calibre Mining now has the largest Nicaraguan Mineral Reserve estimate, at a record grade of 5.37 g/t gold, which is a 16% increase, over the 2021 average grade of 4.62 g/t gold. There has also been a 278% increase in the Nicaraguan Mineral Reserves to approximately 1,082,000 ounces gold, net of depletion since acquisition in 2019. We discussed the 2 key areas of development and near-term production will be coming from Eastern Borosi and Pavon Central, both continuing to add higher grade throughput through the Libertad Mill. There is also aggressive ongoing exploration focused on prior high-grade drill results from Panteon North, new zones around the Libertad Mill, Veta Azul, Volcan, and also new targets at Buena Vista and La Fortuna.

Next we transition over to the Nevada assets, and all the ongoing exploration work the company has underway around both the Pan Mine area and at the development-stage Gold Rock Project. The exploration team is encouraged by recent drill results stepping out from the known mineralization and finding higher grade gold intercepts at the Coyote target, as well as stepping out from the Pan Mine area. There are also some targets on drilling some deeper ‘Carlin Style’, sulfide mineralization at Gold Rock Deep. We wrap up by reviewing some of the recent high-grade gold intercepts that were released from the Golden Eagle Project in Washington state, the 2 million ounces of gold in the ground there, and some of the larger majors projects in the area that represents future optionality for this project.

If you have any follow up questions for Ryan on Calibre Mining, then please email us at Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.

Nick Hodge, Co-Owner of Digest Publishing and editor of Foundational Profits and Hodge Family Office, joins us to review macro investing themes in general US equities and in the commodities resources stock in copper, gold, and uranium.

We kick things off with a macroeconomic discussion on inflation trends and a swath of recent better than expected data, allowing for the continued Fed tightening cycle, and what that means for interest rates, and markets. This is a wide-ranging discussion that gets into the continued yield curve inversions, if we are going to see a “double-whammy” recession, and how that could affect the demand for various commodities.

Nick has taken a few positions in gold and copper stocks, and discusses his views on best practices when it comes to getting into private placements. In the near-term he is most bullish on the uranium sector, mentioning he favors the more advanced companies that are dual-listed on the big boards like Energy Fuels (UUUU) (EFR), enCore Energy (EU), and Uranium Energy Corp (UEC), but also mentioned adding some exposure to the earlier-stage explorer Kraken Energy (UUSA) (UUSAF).

Robert Sinn, known as Goldfinger over at CEO.ca and writer at the Energy and Gold website, joins us with his technical outlook, thoughts on seasonality and the PDAC Curse, and the recent activity and trading action amongst companies operating in the Yukon. We start off by having Robert share the technical pricing support and resistance levels that he is watching for in gold and silver, and looking at their level importance in connection with varying investors time horizons.

Next we shift over the pattern of seasonality we see in the precious metals sectors from year to year, especially as it relates to the buying pressure coming out of tax loss selling season in the first quarter, only to get faded with selling pressure leading into late February and early March. This coincides right in time for the annual PDAC conference; earning it the nickname the “PDAC curse” after happening fairly consistently for over 2 decades now. Robert points out some of the seasonal factors like the gold’s typical weakness in March, in conjunction with companies rushing their best newsflow out in the weeks leading up the conference, where investors have gotten wise to this pattern which precedes the inevitable capital raising window that occurs right afterwards, to fund summer drill programs.

We wrap up with getting Robert take on the dichotomy between the trading action in shares that clearly are running low on funds, versus companies that are still well cashed up to keep moving their projects and work plans forward for the balance of this year and into next. He highlights Banyan Gold (TSXV:BYN)(OTCQB:BYAGF) as company that is quite cashed up, exploring to expand their resources, and has been trending sideways holding onto most of their gains during this tough period for the sector. This brings up a larger discussion about how area plays can pull in more investor interest, and how there has been a flurry of M&A activity and majors taking over or taking key strategic positions in Yukon developers recently, which has been a net positive for the sector and that jurisdiction.

John Rubino, Founder of the Dollar Collapse website and editor of a recently launched newsletter over at Substack, joins us to review some long and short investing themes as markets await the larger macro trends in motion to contract economic growth. We discuss possible scenarios that could play out as the Fed and other central banks keep tightening and how the interest rates we already have will have a lagging factor on pressuring both businesses and consumers. If we see a recession or extended contraction worsen due to this backdrop, then we could see different sectors break under the pressure and this could be the tipping point to bring in more accommodative action from the central banks, without fixing the real issues.

Until that plays out, then John is seeing interesting shorting opportunities in general equities and even overseas in markets like Japan or with currencies directly like the Yen. He is more hesitant to get too much long exposure at this point in the cycle, but he is interested in scaling into more uranium, copper, and silver sector and stock exposure, and outlines the medium to longer-term positive supply/demand growth narratives in these commodities.

Jason Kosec, President and CEO of Millennial Precious Metals (TSX.V:MPM – OTCQB:MLPMF), joins us to break down the transformative merger with Integra Resources (TSX-V: ITR; NYSE: ITRG). We discuss some of the key metrics on what the pro-forma combined company will have as far as an initial valuation, how that valuation could rerate in line with peers, the combined resources, and what the growth profile will be. After combination, the new pro-forma Company will be one of the largest precious metals development and exploration companies in the Great Basin, featuring a diversified portfolio of assets including Integra’s past producing gold-silver DeLamar Project in southwest Idaho and Millennial’s oxide-focused Wildcat and Mountain View Projects in western Nevada.

The Companies also have announced concurrent equity financings for aggregate gross proceeds of C$35 million, where the net proceeds of which are expected to be used by Integra, following completion of the Transaction, to fund an updated Mineral Resource Estimate and Mine Plan of Operations at the DeLamar Project, the preparation of a Mineral Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) on Millennial’s Wildcat and Mountain View Projects in Nevada, as well as on-going baseline work for additional permitting and exploration at the Companies’ respective projects. In addition to the development pipeline, meaningful exploration potential exists in the BlackSheep, War Eagle and non-oxide targets at DeLamar and the Dune, Eden, Marr, Ocelot, Cerro Colorado and Red Canyon Projects from Millennial.

Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (TSX | NYSE | LSE: WPM) has also come on as a new cornerstone investor, with Wheaton agreeing to invest an amount equal to up to 9.9% of the issued and outstanding Integra Shares.

Greg Johnson, CEO and Executive Chairman of Metallic Minerals (TSX.V:MMG – OTCQB:MMNGF), and Chairman of the Metallic Group of Companies, also including Stillwater Critical Minerals (TSX.V: PGE – OTCQB: PGEZF) and Granite Creek Copper (TSX.V:GCX – OTCQB:GCXXF), joins us to recap the news on Metallic Minerals that was just released to the market on February 24th, at the La Plata project in southern Colorado. Hole# LAP22-04, drilled to the north of the resource area, intercepted the longest and highest-grade interval ever encountered at La Plata at 816 meters of 0.41% recovered copper equivalent, ending in 3.53% CuEq over the final 9.75 meters. This is one of the top intersections for any North American copper project in the past several years. We also discussed the additional high-grade gold-platinum-palladium mineralization associated with copper and silver, and what this discovery of a new style of mineralization could mean in the resource area.

Next we review some key takeaways from the 2022 exploration season at the West, East, and Central target zones, along with the overall 2023 work strategy building towards a maiden resource estimate at the Keno Silver Project in the Yukon. We also mention the positive for the whole Keno Hill area that Hecla is aggressively moving it’s mine towards commercial production by the end of this year.

We also revisited the recent announcement of the production royalty agreement on 5 ½ miles of alluvial gold claims at its Australia Creek property in the Klondike Gold District of Canada’s Yukon Territory. This is with Little Flake mining, a company owned and operated by Parker Schnabel of Discovery Channel‘s top-rated television series, “Gold Rush.” Greg unpacks what this first royalty deal in their Klondike Alluvial claims with Little Flake mining, and future royalty transactions, could mean as far as income revenues to the company to help fund more exploration and operations.

Jordan Roy-Byrne, Founder and Editor of The Daily Gold, joins us to review the developing macroeconomic data and how that may shape the severity and timing of when larger recession will hit, and how this well affect the precious metals sector. If we see a soft landing in the near-term, pushing the recession out to 2024, then this would prolong the breakout of a true secular bull market in gold, and PM mining stocks. 

Since another key part of the equation for gold to confirm a true bull market in real terms, is for the eventual divergence from the general US equity markets, we also get Jordan’s technical outlook and thoughts on how the general equities are currently setting up for the medium-term.

Dave Erfle, Founder and Editor of The Junior Miner Junky, joins us to share a couple key technical support and resistance levels he is watching in gold, silver, GDX, and GDXJ and some of the fundamental macro drivers he sees continuing to shape the markets.

We then pivot over to the continued theme of more “Mining Merger Mondays” in the precious metals sector, with 2 more transactions announced this week.  We discuss both the I-80 Gold Corp (TSX: IAU) (NYSE: IAUX) takeover of Paycore Metals (TSXV: CORE), and the merger between Integra Gold (TSX-V: ITR; NYSE American: ITRG) and Millennial Precious Metals (TSX-V: MPM, OTCQB: MLPMF).   This leads into a larger discussion on the pitfalls and opportunities of holding development stage assets with ounces in the ground at different parts of the sector and how M&A deals can be both a boon and a bust for investors depending on their investment goals, time horizons, and when and what price they got into positions.

Bruce Bragagnolo, Executive Chairman of Regency Silver (TSX.V:RSMX – OTCQB:RSMXF) joins us to discuss the visual mineralization over good widths on 2 more holes just press released in the ongoing drill program at the Dios Padre Project, in Mexico, that started at the beginning of January.

The current 3 hole, 3,000 meter program has been focused on follow drilling around the discovery hole #REG-22-01 announced on October 11th, which had yielded 35.8 metres of 6.84 g/t gold, 0.88% copper and 21.82 g/t silver along with 13.97 g/t Au, 50.25 g/t Ag and 1.11 % Cu over 9.8 m. The company is still waiting on the actual assay results to be returned but did announce on February 23rd that drill hole# REG-23-14 intersected 32mof pyrite-specularite-chalcopyrite supported breccia from ~454-486m and drill hole# REG-23-15 intersected 120m of specularite-pyrite-chalcopyrite supported breccia from ~400-520m, with both holes being down dip 25m and 85m respectively from drill hole #REG-22-01.

The Company is also now about 80% complete with the IP program over Dios Padre, anticipating the program results and interpretation before the end of March. Once the drill assays are returned in March and the IP data is overlaid, this will help to further isolate future drill locations.

Doc Jones, Private Investor and editor of DrJonesResourceInvestor.com, joins us to discuss different aspects of investing in the energy sector, from oil and natural gas, to lithium, and then to the battery metals or energy metals companies. Since he cut his teeth on the traditional oil and nat gas stocks over 2 decades ago, we start with his outlook on the pullback we’ve seen in this part of the energy space, what he likes, and the focus he has on the more established teams and assets with true scale and stability. He noted both Birchcliff Energy (TSX: BIR; OTC: BIREF) and Freehold Royalties (TSX: FRU; OTC: FRHLF) as examples of solid dividend paying companies with excellent financials and growth built in.

Next we jumped over to the battery metals theme and the huge amount of investor interest over the last few years in the lithium companies, along with some thoughts on how to filter down to the better quality company in this smaller niche commodity. Doc Jones outlines 3 companies at various stages of the mining cycle that he has invested in personally: Sigma Lithium (TSX.V:SGML, NASDAQ:SGML), Lithium Ionic (TSXV: LTH; OTCQB: LTHCF), and Brunswick Exploration (TSX.V: BRW; OTC: BRWXF) , and the rationale behind the investments he made into each personally. We also discussed the frothy nature of the lithium sector at present and that investors should really understand the deposits and team they are investing in, and stick with the larger producers if they are not sure how to evaluate earlier stage projects.

We wrap up with why he is more interested in investing in critical minerals like copper, nickel, and zinc companies over precious metals companies, due to all the positive tailwinds we see behind the green energy policies and investment capital flows. The discussion covers a number of areas ranging from government funds and direct investment into energy metals, to ESG, to the cost of capital for different commodities and related mining stocks. He outlines some recent news and catalysts in his favorite 3 critical minerals stocks to invest in: Emerita Resources (TSX.V: EMO; OTCQB: EMOTF), Magna Mining (TSX.V: NICU; OTC: MGMNF), and Osisko Metals (TSX.V: OM; OTCQX: OMZNF).*

  • Doc Jones is not paid by any company to discuss these stocks, and these are simply what he is doing with his own money in his own portfolio, and this is not investment advice.

Ed Moya, Chief Market Strategist at OANDA, joins us to recap the potential that we’ve seen peak positive economic data from January, which was announced in February, and how that may affect the outlook on economic growth, Fed policy, and market reactions in the US general equities, bonds, and commodities.

After recapping the recent data and how the market is positioning, we discuss what the economic health of the US and global economies really are. We ask Ed if a further recession is still on the table for later this year, or if we are not going to get any kind of economic landing at all, and if the markets are just going to keep flying higher? We discuss the potential for the markets to bifurcate into some sectors doing well, while others may be in contractive territory We then wrap up with a review of the oil and natural gas space and the over health and supply demand picture in the energy sector.

Craig Hemke, Founder and Editor of TF Metals Report, joins us to review the continued corrective action in the precious metals sector, and some technical and fundamental factors that point to selling pressure starting to get exhausted near a logical area of support. 

Craig advises to focus on the longer-term macroeconomic trends and to use history as one’s guide, rather than getting all caught up in the “tyranny of the urgent” as it relates to incoming economic data blips and daily price swings.   By being patient and letting the economic cycle play out and the sentiment pendulum to swing from one extreme to the other, this will help investors stay grounded and avoid getting wrong footed in the choppy markets and short-term whipsaw effect of pricing swings.

Jayant Bhandari, Private Investor, joins us to focus on the macro picture in both thermal coal and metallurgical coal, as well as a few companies he is reviewing that are offering compelling value propositions. We start off discussing some of the misconceptions about where the energy generation for EVs and the electrification narratives from policy makers is actually coming from, and going to continue to come from. For the foreseeable future that will still involve thermal coal. Then we review that despite one’s preference for power generation, that the demonization of met coal makes no sense as it is crucial for steel manufacturers, and this will come even more into focus as the Chinese economy reopens

Then we have Jayant share some of the coal companies he is reviewing as investable ideas where he is drawn to the low P/E ratios, high cash balances, and solid underpinning of pricing and production.

The companies he mentions for investors to research are:

  • Peabody Energy (NYSE.BTU; US$26): 25% metallurgical coal and 75% thermal coal; P/E of 2; dividend yield ~0%
  • Coronado Global (ASX.CRN; A$1.92): Metallurgical coal; P/E of 5; dividend yield 12%
  • Whitehaven Coal (ASX.WHC; A$7.30): 5% metallurgical coal and 95% thermal coal; P/E of 2; dividend yield 10%
  • Warrior Met Coal (NYSE.HCC; US$38): Metallurgical coal; P/E of 5; dividend yield ~0%

Marc Bishop Lafleche, CEO of Ecora Resources (TSX: ECOR) (LSE:ECOR) (OTCQX:ECRAF), joins us for an introduction to this Company with 18 royalties, in 10 commodities, over 5 continents, and outlines the growth strategies for 2023. We start off the rebranding of the company a little over a year ago from Anglo Pacific to Ecora Resources, with the fundamental shift being towards accumulating production or development-stage royalties on forward-facing commodities like copper, cobalt, nickel, vanadium, uranium that are part of the global energy and electrification transition, over the prior focus on metallurgical coal and iron ore.

We highlight a few of the key royalties of the 9 producing assets, 6 development assets, and 3 earlier stage assets, and the strength of their operating partners, long mine-life projections, and operations that have low carbon intensities. Next we look into the financial strength of the incoming revenues, with the transition from the traditional to the more energy metals focus over the next few year in producing and near-production asset. Marc also outlines his background along with the strength of the management team and BOD for sourcing accretive deals, and the outlook for growth both from within the royalty portfolio and possible new royalty acquisitions.

We have Matti break down the ongoing scout and step-out drilling at multiple targets across the 100% owned Risiti property, testing for extensions of gold mineralization at the Kaares Area, and new zone of gold mineralization at the Kaaresselkä Prospect, with the full drill hole # KS22027, extending previously announced partial results to 2.41 g/t Au over 56.55 meters. We also discussed the critical minerals like copper, cobalt, platinum, and palladium reported from other scout drill holes near the Vanha area that have been testing regional targets such as base of till anomalies and geophysical features.

The Aurion-B2Gold Joint-Venture exploration team continues to have a very high success rate with drill hits at Helmi Discovery, expanding mineralization to the western part of the Helmi Discovery with an intercept of 1.56 g/t Au over 24.80 m, and also a new discovery zone of mineralization 2 km west from the Helmi Discovery returning 6.25 g/t Au over 6.00 m, and 1.02 g/t Au, 1.84% Cu over 5.60 m. There will be a lot more drilling on and around the Helmi Project expanding the known mineralization and testing other regional targets with a CAN$10.4 million JV budget for 2023.

Sean Brodrick, Editor of Wealth Megatrends, and contributing analyst to Weiss Ratings Daily, joins us to focus on the macroeconomic investment trends in motion and how they affect commodities like copper, oil, natural gas, lithium, gold and silver. We start off reviewing how inflation expectations and recent economic reports have shaped expectation for Fed rate hikes in the year to come. We dive into the bifurcation between the recession and contraction many pundits have been calling for since last year and counter-balance that against the better than expected jobs data, manufacturing data, and retail sales data. With Fed FOMC minutes due out this Wednesday, and the PCE inflation data out this Friday, it should provide more clarity as to the direction moving forward.

Another key area of discussion was around the Chinese economy and society reopening from 3 years of lockdowns, and what that may mean for demand of copper, oil, lithium, iron, steel, and many commodities. We wrap up with having Sean provide investable ideas from the energy sector where he is more bullish on dividend-paying oil companies than he is on the still struggling nat gas companies, and he reiterates the need for battery metals and many sources of energy generation for the future. As for precious metals, he is biding his time waiting for more corrective action to position on pullbacks.

Joel Elconin, Co-Host of the Benzinga PreMarket Prep Show and Editor of the PreMarket Prep website, joins us to reiterate a few macroeconomic factors and technical resistance levels that have had him expecting the markets to continue rolling over since early February. Joel mentioned that while avoided chasing the markets in late January, and expected a corrective move; however, he is also not ready to put his bear suit on either, as he expects range-bound choppy markets that will frustrate bulls and bears alike.

He was surprised by the short rally in front of the recently announced CPI reading, and the move from value back into more growth names, which really had a big pop in Q4 and following through into January, but it seems that has become more muted now as the dollar and interest rates have begun to raise once again. Joel pointed out the relatively weak reports on Q4 earnings season, and the focus still being on upcoming jobs and inflation data, and looking at analyst reports as shorter-term catalysts.

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to discuss his value investing strategy, and he reviews 2 junior resource stocks with recent news catalysts that he feels represent intriguing risk-reward setups.

We start off discussing the misnomer where most investors assume “the markets are always right;” only to see wild swings in prices and valuations over very short periods of time, to the upside and downside, with no substantive change in the company’s underlying assets. If nothing major has changed with a company, but there are wild fluctuations in pricing and company valuations and extreme changes, merely based on sudden sentiment shifts, then was the market right before or after that move?

We then have Erik outline what he likes about potential development growth and pathway to copper production with Trigon Metal (TSX.V: TM) (OTCQB: PNTZF), and the underappreciated recent gold drill results and potential exploration upside at Firefox Gold (TSXV:FFOX) (OTCQB:FFOXF).*

Ryan King, VP of Corporate Development and IR at Calibre Mining (TSX: CXB – OTCQX: CXBMF), joins us to review 2023 exploration strategy which is continuing organically-funded grade-driven growth of the resources in both Nicaragua And Nevada.

Calibre Mining now has the largest Nicaraguan Mineral Reserve estimate, at a record grade of 5.37 g/t gold, which is a 16% increase, over the 2021 average grade of 4.62 g/t gold. There has also been a 278% increase in the Nicaraguan Mineral Reserves to approximately 1,082,000 ounces gold, net of depletion since acquisition in 2019. We discussed the 2 key areas of development and near-term production will be coming from Eastern Borosi and Pavon Central, both continuing to add higher grade throughput through the Libertad Mill. There is also aggressive ongoing exploration focused on prior high-grade drill results from Panteon North, new zones around the Libertad Mill, Veta Azul, Volcan, and also new targets at Buena Vista and La Fortuna.

We wrap up by transitioning over to the Nevada assets, and all the ongoing exploration work the company has underway around both the Pan Mine area and at the development-stage Gold Rock Project. The exploration team is encouraged by recent drill results stepping out from the known mineralization and finding higher grade gold intercepts at the Coyote target, as well as stepping out from the Pan Mine area. There are also some targets on drilling some deeper ‘Carlin Style’, sulfide mineralization at Gold Rock Deep.

Segun Lawson, President and CEO of Thor Explorations (TSX.V:THX – US:THXPF), reviews the expanded optionality and potential for enhanced growth initiatives from the recently amended and restated terms of its senior debt facility held with Africa Finance Corporation. The removal of many restrictive debt covenants, now releases the Company from restrictions regarding acquisitions, distribution of dividends and certain indebtedness covenants, as well as allowing more capital to be put towards aggressive exploration and expansion at both the Segilola and Douta projects.

We discussed the organic growth potential with the on-going exploration around Segilola mine in Nigeria, at depth under the current pit shell, and along strike at a number of nearby targets in search of nearby satellite pits. In addition, there is also the inorganic growth that could come from acquiring nearby projects, or partnering on other development projects in Nigeria and abroad in West Africa.

We also outlined the new 40,000 meter drill program at the Douta development Project in Senegal, on the back of the recently completed 26,000 meters drill program from 2022. The Company is continuing to expand the resources at the Makosa ore body, which now has grown to a 7km strike length, and also incorporates the Makosa Tail area. The exploration strategy is to keep doing step-out drilling and infill drilling at the Makosa deposit, as well as expansion drilling around 3 key new mineralized satellite discoveries at the Mansa, Maka, and Sambara targets. There are still drill assays pending for the 3 satellite deposits that will be reporting early this year, and the 2022 drill results will then be put into an expanded resource estimate update in the first half of 2023. The next milestone after that will be to wrap some economics around the Douta project in a Preliminary Economic Assessment for the market to evaluate by year’s end.

If you have any questions for Segun regarding the ongoing work at Thor Explorations, then please email us at either fleck@kereport.com or shad@kereport.com.

Dave Erfle, Founder and Editor of The Junior Miner Junky, joins us to review the trend of more recent “mega-mergers” with the majors, also spawning even more mergers and acquisitions within the mid-tiers and junior stocks. Last Monday we saw the announcement of Newmont Mining (NEM) putting in a bid to acquire Newcrest Mining (NCM.AX), on the heels of the recently closed Agnico Eagle (AEM) and Panamerican Silver (PAAS) acquisition of Yamana (AUY). Then this Monday we saw more M&A news with B2Gold (BTO) (BTG) announcing it had placed a bid to acquire Sabina Gold (SBB) (SGSVF), and Victoria Gold (VGCX) (VITFF) announcing a bid to acquire ATAC Resources (ATC) (ATADF).

Dave provides some insights on what this may mean for garnering more generalist investor interest, and what other kinds of M&A deals we may see in the sector next. We also discuss how these transactions can be both positive and negative sentiment drivers in the space. Sure, takeovers provide a clear exit strategy for investors, freeing up capital to rotate into other PM stocks, but also create negative sentiment in the space for many longer-term buy and hold investors that sat in these junior companies for years sometimes, only to barely break even break, make muted gains, or worse lose money. In general though, mergers and acquisitions activate the animal spirits of investors as they speculate on which companies will be next?

TG Watkins, Director of Stocks at Simpler Trading and Editor of the Profit Pilot website, joins us to share the technical levels and key moving averages he’ll be watching to see where support comes in and holds for US equities, the US dollar, gold, and the cryptos. TG points out that in many stocks in the general equity markets or the S&P 500 index that recent bounce off the 21 day moving average has been encouraging, but he is watching to see if the 50 day moving average is tested next and will hold as a key line in the sand. The greenback has been in an overall downtrend and may just be putting in an oversold bounce, while inversely gold and the precious metals sector have put in solid new uptrends and may just be putting in an overbought pullback. Cryptos surging recently also has TG of the belief that there may be more legs to the rally in most markets, with more of a risk-on posturing from investors.

We also discussed some of the recent market moves on the back of a string of financial reports, and what would constitute a “soft landing” in the economy. It really comes down to if we’ve seen the recession already play though last year, or if there is another contraction period for more of a “double-dip recession.” Regardless of how it plays out, TG sees a lot of individual stocks and smaller sectors of the markets having already had their bear markets, and that we may see a basing and then lift in many equities regardless of the trends in the larger indexes or large-cap leadership.

Craig Hemke, Founder and Editor of TF Metals Report, joins us to review the recent corrective move in the precious metals sector, and what macroeconomic factors could create a scenario that is constructive for more sustained moves higher starting the second half of this year. We reflect on the recent Fed meeting, and stronger-than-expected jobs and manufacturing numbers, but note how those trends could change once the Fed pauses it’s tightening, and the effects of the higher interest rates further contract the economy.

We ask Craig what it will finally take to for more generalist to wake up to the central bank perpetual cycle of hiking only to cut again, and what catalysts may take the PMs on a longer term trajectory higher. This takes the discussion into the Fed pausing, trends in unemployement, the direction of inflation, and interest rates.

Craig points out that regardless of how it plays out, it will be key for investors to ignore some of the short-term micro noise, and instead focus on the longer-term macroeconomic data and trends. He still feels the odds are the first half of the year will remain choppy, but that the latter half of the year may be similar to 2010 or 2019 where the Fed is eventually forced to start cutting again due to weakened economic conditions. His advice is to hold through any volatility in the near-term, expecting a more positive advance in gold, silver, and the PM mining stocks in the second half of the year.

John Rubino, Founder of the Dollar Collapse website and editor of a recently launched newsletter over at Substack, joins us to review some of the macroeconomic trends in motion as it relates to the strength of the underlying economy, corporations, and individuals in the new higher interest rate environment. We discuss possible scenarios that could play out once the Fed pauses their rate hiking cycle, but they along with all other companies and families must still deal with the interest service payments on much higher amounts of debt. If we see a recession or extended contraction worsen due to this backdrop, then it could be the tipping point to bring in more accommodative action from the central banks, without fixing the real issues.

In that kind of a scenario, John feels gold, silver, and the precious metals mining stock will benefit to a larger degree than many other sectors will. We wrap up by getting John’s reaction to the recent news about Nemont Mining (NEM) putting in a bid to acquire Newcrest Mining (NCM.AX), and what it may mean for further mergers and acquisitions in the PM stocks.

Dave Erfle, Founder and Editor of The Junior Miner Junky, joins us to review the volatility this week in gold, silver, and the precious metals stocks. The whipsaw markets came on the back of a flurry of economic data from the Fed meeting and press conference mid-week, and the stronger-than-expected jobs number and ISM manufacturing data that hit on Friday.

While the end of the week saw a quick reversal of the bullish trend from earlier in the week, he pointed out that a corrective move should not be a surprise here as both silver and the mining stocks have been signaling for a few weeks that the move in the PMs was in need of some consolidation. Dave also points out that the January monthly close near $1950 in gold was very constructive for the longer-term bull market, and that gold was very overbought and in need of a digestive period, after a few months of upwards price action, adding around $350 off it’s lows in November to where it advanced to earlier this week.

Next we shifted over to the performance of the mining stocks, and with both GDX and GDXJ up over 50% off their September lows, and many individual mining stock up 100% – 200%, we asked if he felt this was a good time to sell into the recent strength, or in front of any further corrective action. Dave reviewed that he got positioned at the end of last year at good entry points and a solid cost basis in many stocks, and that it is far too early to start selling at this point in the 7 year bull cycle. He advocated having patience not to over-trade, and that he is positioned in companies in his portfolio for 3x or 300% gains at a minimum, before he will start taking profits in part of the positions.

Craig Hemke, Founder and Editor of TF Metals Report, joins us to reflect on the recent Fed meeting and press conference, and how that relates to the precious metals sector and general equities. One of the questions posed is if the coming conclusion in central banks monetary tightening cycle, where they wait to see what effects it will have, will end up being the pause before the storm and further weakening economic picture, or if it will be the pause before the party of risk-on speculative buying frenzy in the markets?

Craig points out that regardless of how it plays out, it will be key for investors to ignore some of the short-term micro noise, and instead focus on the longer term macroeconomic data and trends. He still feels the odds are the first half of the year will remain choppy, but that the latter half of the year may be similar to 2010 or 2019 where the Fed is eventually forced to start cutting again due to weakened economic conditions.

Jordan Roy-Byrne, Founder and Editor of The Daily Gold, joins us to outline that the key determinant factor for a real bull market in the gold, silver, and the precious metals mining stocks will be when gold decidedly breaks above the S&P 500 on the ratio chart. We go on to discuss how there are plenty of historical periods one can point to as evidence that the gold and silver mining stocks outperformed and diverged from the US general equities in prior bear market periods. He points out that really what we are seeing presently in the markets is more akin to what we saw play out in the 1960’s, more so than the analogies to the 1970s many pundits have put forward.

We wrap up by having Jordan address the pushback we’ve heard to this thesis, mainly that the precious metals sector can break to a new bull market without the general equities correcting or without the divergence, or that in a bear market the PM equities would just tank along with other markets in a sell everything event. Jordan outlines why historically and with the data we have, neither of those counter positions really are evidenced.

Chad Peters, President and CEO of Ridgeline Minerals (TSX.V:RDG – OTCQB:RDGMF) joins us to unpack the recent exploration news release from January 24th, where the first two diamond core drill holes of the 2022 drill program at the Chinchilla Zone CRD Target, at larger Selena project in Nevada, intersected silver (“Ag”) – gold (“Au”) – lead (“Pb”) – zinc (“Zn”) carbonate replacement style mineralization. Highlight intercepts at the Chinchilla Zone include high-grade zones of 6.1 meters grading 480 grams per tonne (“g/t”) Ag, 12.0% Pb, and 6.4% Zn, 0.1 g/t Au in SE22-045 and 0.5m grading 1,793 g/t Ag and 2.2% W in SE22-039. The Chinchilla Zone target will be a continued area of focus for future drilling.

Next we shifted over to the pending drill results still to be released both from the Juniper target, which is also thought to be a CRD zone, and then the 4 holes still to release from the more early-stage gold oxide Broken Egg targets.

We wrap up by reviewing the exploration program at the Company’s Swift Project, where their JV partner, Nevada Gold Mines (NGM), a joint venture between Barrick and Newmont, highlighted the recent 3 holes drilled here on their slide deck when discussing their recent exploration along the Cortez trend. NGM has a $20 million earn-in option for 60% interest from Ridgeline Minerals on Swift, and we await more news to be released from this program.

Greg Johnson, CEO of Metallic Minerals (TSX.V:MMG – OTCQB:MMNGF), and Chairman of the Metallic Group of Companies, also including Stillwater Critical Minerals (TSX.V: PGE – OTCQB: PGEZF) and Granite Creek Copper (TSX.V:GCX – OTCQB:GCXXF), joins us to recap the news on Metallic Minerals that was just released to the market on January 24th. The Company announced signing a production royalty agreement on 5 ½ miles of alluvial gold claims at its Australia Creek property in the Klondike Gold District of Canada’s Yukon Territory, with Little Flake mining, a company owned and operated by Parker Schnabel of Discovery Channel‘s top-rated television series, “Gold Rush“.

Greg unpacks what this first royalty deal in their Klondike Alluvial claims with Little Flake mining, could mean as far as income revenues to the company to help fund more exploration and operations. With 4 more claims and projects already permitted in the area, and a goal of upwards of 7 different potential projects, each with a targeted 10%-15% royalty, and other private operating companies to do the actual gold mining, then this could grow into a basket of royalties and become significant revenue center. We also discuss the potential optionality for Metallic Minerals shareholders as eventually, the Company executes on bringing on a basket of alluvial projects and royalties, then it could even be monetized to another royalty company or even spun out into a new alluvial-focused royalty company.

We also review some key news from 2022 and the overall 2023 work strategy building towards a maiden resource at the Keno Silver Project in the Yukon, as well as the exploration and resource expansion at the copper and precious metals La Plata Project in Colorado.

We wrap up by having Greg also highlight the recent Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) just announced last week from Granite Creek Copper at their Carmacks project in the Yukon, and also the recently announced expanded and material increase to the size of the Stillwater West updated Resource Estimate at Stillwater Critical Minerals.

If you have any follow up questions for Greg on Metallic Minerals, or any of the Metallic Group of Companies, then please email us at either Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.

Michael Rowley, President and CEO of Stillwater Critical Minerals (TSX.V: PGE – OTCQB: PGEZF), joins us to unpack the key takeaways from the recently announced Resource Estimate update at their flagship Stillwater West Project in Montana. As announced on January 25, 2023, this updated Resource Estimate show a 62% increase over the 2021 Maiden Resource Estimate to 1.6 Blbs Battery Metals and 3.8 Moz PGE+Gold. Base Case Inferred mineral resources of1.6 billion pounds of nickel, copper and cobalt and 3.8 million ounces palladium, platinum, rhodium, and gold,in a constrained model totaling 255 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.39% total estimated recovered NiEq (or 1.19 g/t Palladium Equivalent).

We compare this resource to other projects in North America, and there are surprising few peers with this type of mineral endowment. These leads us to further discuss the parallels between this Project and their neighbors, Sibanye Stillwater, that are currently producing nickel, copper, platinum, palladium, and rhodium at that highest grade PGM mine in the world. Mike makes the point that the mining approach for Stillwater Critical Minerals that is being proposed is more of a bulk mining deposit more akin to the South African Platreef battery metals and platinum group elements mines and development projects found on the northern limb of the Bushveld Igneous Complex. Mike addresses the question of whether Sibanye Stillwater could be the only suitor, and points out there are ongoing discussions with a number of major metals producers and so there are plenty of options on the table for the road ahead.

Next we discuss the exploration work successfully completed in 2022 at the Pine Target, which is an additional gold target returning high-grade gold, that is 2kms away and currently not one of the 5 deposit areas presently included in the resource estimate, but that more drilling will be focused here in 2023 to keep delineating this additional target area. The focus of the exploration team at present is continuing to expand the high-grade areas of the 9km strike length, and for better understanding the geological structural controls, with a wealth of potential targets for future drilling in that larger context for the 2023 exploration season. The key focus of exploration for 2023 will still be the primary other 5 target areas at their Stillwater West project, with a large exploration program to be announced later this year.

If you have any questions for Mike regarding Stillwater Critical Minerals, then please email us at either Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.

John Rubino, Founder of the Dollar Collapse website and editor of a recently launched newsletter over at Substack, joins us to review what catalysts could be causing most markets to keep rallying higher when most economic data points to the economy heading into a deeper contraction and recession. John points out that this is a scenario where bad economic news is considered good market news, as it means the Fed and other global central banks will slow down the pace and amount of rate hikes moving forward, and after pausing, eventually become more accommodative once again.

The discussion gets into a range of macro fundamentals from consumer credit card debt, the real estate market, manufacturing weakness, bad corporate earnings, inflation, currencies, interest rates and more. We wrap up with John providing some actionable steps investors can take to benefit from the economic trends we are seeing highlighting the gold and silver royalty and streaming companies, uranium stocks, and oil stocks as areas of potential opportunity.

Ed Moya, Senior Market Analyst at OANDA, joins us to review the continued bounce in most markets, despite a great deal of economic data continuing to be weak, including some recent earnings reports, and thus it is causing many economists to still be concerned about a recession and economic slowdown. We review the upward trends in a number of sectors from US general equities, with the tech sector leading the way again, to the cryptos, commodities, and precious metals.

There seems to be a risk-on attitude and bullish sentiment in the markets, despite many of the economic red flags, and for now investors are still piling into the rally that has been going on the last few months. It’s a very different year so far than last year with more investor enthusiasm and complacency with regards to the poor economic backdrop. The question remains of whether this surge higher is justified and if the bull market is here to stay?

Craig Hemke, Founder and Editor of TF Metals Report, joins us to review a number of factors, both technical and macroeconomic, that are driving the precious metals sector prices. We start off by observing the continued run higher in gold the last few months, with gold well above $1900 and heading to even higher levels today. However, Craig notes that silver has been stuck around the $24 level for a month now. Since it led the precious metals mining stocks both down the middle of last year and back up from September to present, that this may point to a corrective digestive period in the PMs in the near term. Craig feels that any corrective move would be more mild, as the macro factors are just not there in the bonds or interest rates, in the US dollar, or in COT positioning for a big crash in the PMs to occur.

The discussion then evolves into looking at how the 2 forces of economic weakness and recession hurting demand, could be counter-balanced with legitimate concerns of new supply of metals coming to market or even being available in current stockpiles and exchanges. Craig points out the very low inventories of many metals on the LME, or Comex, or even backing electronic funds, and discusses the recent comments from Zoltan Posar on the problematic supply challenges commodities may face, while noting how critical they are for current policy initiatives moving forward.

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to outline a 2 earlier stage exploration stocks that he feels represent intriguing risk reward setups based on the management teams, projects, and work strategy in relation to their market caps. One point he stressed is for investors to consider appropriate smaller position-sizing on earlier stage companies with far more risks than more established companies with resources in the ground or economic studies in place

We start off by discussing the recent drill results reported back from Firefox Gold (TSX.V: FFOX) (OTC: FFOXF), and how exploration success here may get a premium due to gold area play we’ve seen recently in Finland, with Rupert Resources (TSX: RUP) (OTC: RUPRF), Aurion Resources (TSX.V: AU) (OTC: AIRRF), B2Gold (TSX: BTO) (NYSE: BTG), and Agnico Eagle (TSX: AEM) (NYSE: AEM).

Next we discussed the earlier stage pre-discovery stock Gold79 Mines (TSX.V: AUU) (OTC: AUSVF), exploring in Nevada and Arizona on multiple projects, with Jefferson Canyon (partnered with Kinross), Greyhound (JV with Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd.), and Gold Chain. Erik is most animated by the exploration prospectivity of the Gold Chain project, and unpacks why he likes the project and team.

Brien Lundin, Editor of The Gold Newsletter joins us to share his thoughts on the correlation between gold, and gold stocks, to the US markets. Today we are seeing gold up while the markets are down but over the past couple months all were moving up together. This ties into a question on the factors driving the markets and metals.

When it comes to the uptrend in commodities broadly we discuss the reopening going on in China and copper. Supply and demand are on his mind when it comes to copper.

Please email me if you are planning on attending any of the conferences coming up in Vancouver. I am happy to meet up with all of you to have a beer or coffee or walk around the conference. My email address is Fleck@kereport.com

Scott Petsel, President of Metallic Minerals (TSX.V:MMG – OTCQB:MMNGF), joins us to review the recent bulk tonnage drill results from the Fox Target at the Keno Hill silver district of Canada’s Yukon Territory.

We start off reviewing some of the first 8 drill holes with bulk tonnage results reported this week from the 2022 exploration program at East Keno. This program was focused on drilling of the Greater Fox area targets (Fox, UKHM and Zone 2), first discovered by the Company in 2020. Drill intercepts at the Fox target in 2022 averaged 136 m of sheeted vein mineralization (including up to 177 m wide); a significant broadening of the identified mineralized zones encountered in 2020 and 2021 drilling at Fox. At the Fox target, hole FOX22-03, returned sheeted vein zones of 144.5 m @ 41.4 g/t silver equivalent (Ag Eq), including 27.66 m at 105.8 g/t Ag Eq. There are still 2,000 more meters and 15 more drill holes to release from last year’s drill program, and those will all be incorporated along with all the prior years drilling at the Homestake, Formo, Caribou, and Greater Fox Targets into a Maiden Resource Estimate later this year.

Next we had Scott outline some of the nuances and differences being discovered in this more wide-intercept bulk-tonnage style mineralization in Keno East, verus the higher-grade narrow dipping veins found in Keno West, more akin to what their neighbors at Hecla Mining have in their resources and will be mining again in the latter part of 2023. Scott points out that the high-grade portion at depth in Keno West is more ideal for underground mining methods, and that even Keno East may be amenable to a combination or underground and open pit mining.

We wrap up by getting Scott’s thoughts on the big picture exploration strategy in 2023 at both Keno Hill, and down at the copper and precious metals focused La Plata Project in Colorado, where both projects will have meaningful work done to expand known resources. Additionally, there will be newsflow coming out in the next few months from the Company’s alluvial gold royalties in the Klondike Gold District for investors to watch for.

If you have any follow up questions for Scott on Metallic Minerals, then please email us at either Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.

Marco Roque, President and CEO of Cassiar Gold (TSX.V:GLDC – OTCQX:CGLCF), joins us to provide a comprehensive exploration update from the ongoing 23,000 meter drill program at Cassiar North, Cassiar South, and regional targets at the Cassiar Gold Project, in BC.

We start off by having Marco outline some of the recent expansion and infill drill results released Jan 17th from the Taurus Deposit at Cassiar North. Taurus West drill hole 22TA-176 intersected 98.00 m of 1.28 g/t Au from 10.7 m downhole, including 4.10 m grading 12.02 g/t Au, and expanding mineralization within a large under-explored area between resource blocks within the 2022 inferred mineral resource open pit shell. These results continue to show wide intercepts of solid bulk-tonnage grade material, in alignment with prior drill results released on November 29th last year; where Drill hole 22TA-158 at Taurus West intersected 72.3m of 1.09 g/t Au from 337.0m downhole, extending mineralization 50m beyond the extent of the inferred mineral resource open pit shell.

Marco points out that while some of these drill holes are within the boundary of the proposed pit shell, that they are going into areas that had wider spacing between prior holes, that were not previously included in the resource estimate, so these are actually expanding mineralization in-pit beyond the known resource . With 17,000 meters of drilling and 50 holes to still release to the market over the next few months, from Cassiar North, Cassiar South, and regional targets, there will be a lot of exploration newsflow on tap from the Company.

Please email us with any follow up questions for Marco on Cassiar Gold. Our email addresses are Fleck@kereport.com and Shad@kereport.com.

Jordan Roy-Byrne, Founder and Editor of The Daily Gold, joins us to review both the fundamental and technical factors he is watching in gold, silver, and the PM mining stocks, now that they have clearly bottomed and are in a new bull market. While there will be corrections along the way, there is nothing on the charts or the macro landscape suggesting another big “wash out” event being needed for the sector to move higher.

Jordan provides some technical indicators he values, like the 200 day, 400 day, and 40 month moving averages, lateral price levels, and gaps on the charts, and points out that much of the other chart overlays are just based on price derivatives and momentum indicators, and he places little importance on those over the actual movement of price. In gold he noted $1800 and $1780 support levels, and below that possibly the gap zone between $1762-$1780. In silver, if $23 were to break then there is the $21.80 gap area, and support below $21 in the high $20s near the 200 day moving average. He also provides support targets for GDX and GDXJ.

The big takeaway is that at this point, investors should be more concerned with macroeconomic developments, rather than just technical price levels. In bull market moves, the corrections are typically shorter and more shallow, and therefore don’t correct as much as people on the sidelines waiting to buy corrections are expecting.

We wrap up with some thoughts on breadth readings, the advance/decline line metrics, and intermarket analysis with gold outperforming everything recently – US equities, commodities, and foreign currencies. If those macro factors don’t change, then pullbacks will be more shallow and represent good spots for traders to scale into positions.

Michael Rowley, President and CEO of Stillwater Critical Minerals (TSX.V: PGE – OTCQB: PGEZF), joins us to review recent exploration results returned from the 2022 season and the current work going into the upcoming Resource Estimate update to be released this quarter at their flagship Stillwater West Project in Montana. The most recent maiden resource estimate, that incorporated drilling up through 2020 was released in 2021 and contained 1.1 billion lbs of nickel, copper, and cobalt, with an additional 2.4 million ounces of palladium, platinum, and gold. This upcoming resource will incorporate and the further resource delineation from the 14 holes drilled in 2021, in addition to the assays for rhodium were just released to the market today.

We dive further into the parallels between this Project and their neighbors, Sibanye Stillwater, that are currently producing nickel, copper, platinum, palladium, and rhodium at that highest grade PGM mine in the world. Mike makes the point that the mining approach for Stillwater Critical Minerals that is being proposed is more of a bulk mining deposit more akin to the South African Platreef battery metals and platinum group elements mines and development projects found on the northern limb of the Bushveld Igneous Complex.

Next we discuss the exploration work successfully completed in 2022 at the Pine Target, which is an additional gold target returning high-grade gold, that is 2kms away and currently not one of the 5 deposit areas presently included in the resource estimate, but that more drilling will be focused here in 2023 to keep delineating this additional target area. The focus of the exploration team at present is continuing to expand the high grade areas of the 9km strike length, and for better understanding the geological structural controls, with a wealth of potential targets for future drilling in that larger context for the 2023 exploration season.

We wrap up by discussing the new partnership the Company has with Cornell University, which was highlighted in a recent article in the Cornell Cronicle earlier today, where Greeshma Gadikota, assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering in Cornell Engineering, will receive $650,000 of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) $2.4 million grant from the federal Advanced Research Projects Agency. The focus of the research, in partnership with Stillwater Critical Minerals, will be to develop ways to simultaneously recover green-energy critical metals during mining, and used different carbon sequestration techniques in the process.

If you have any questions for Mike regarding Stillwater Critical Minerals, then please email us at either Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.

So far this month Arizona Sonoran Copper (TSX:ASCU – OTCQX:ASCUF) has released two news releases, outlining the 2023 work plans (January 10th) and results from the best drill hole ever on the Project (January 17th).

George Ogilvie, President and CEO of Arizona Sonoran Copper joins us re recap both news releases. We start with the January 17th news releases that reported Hole 108 at Parks/Salyer which intersected 189.3metres @ 2.005 total copper within a 265.9meter intercept of 1.64% total copper. This was an infill hole so we have George outline its importance for the upcoming Prefeasibility Study (“PFS”) due in 4Q23/1Q24 followed by a bankable Feasibility Study.

We then move to the January 10th news release outlining the 2023 work plans. All the work will feed into the PFS. We discuss the infill and exploration drilling plans for the year as well as all the other work planned.

If you have any follow up questions for George please email us at Fleck@kereport.com and Shad@kereport.com. We will get those answered for you!

Craig Hemke, Founder and Editor of TF Metals Report, joins us to discuss a number of macroeconomic trends and themes he feels are key for 2023 as it unfolds, which make the case for a longer-term bullish setup in the precious metals sector.

We start off reflecting on the continued run higher in gold into the new year, hitting the $1900 level today, but notes that silver is stuck around the $24 level, and this may point to a corrective digestive period in the PMs in the near term. This ties into other near-term aspects on the calendar this month like Chinese New Year, the Feb futures contract rolling over at month end, and the oversold nature of the US dollar, which could have a relief rally soon. Craig feels it quite improbable though, to see a larger extended move down in the metals and mining stocks, and does not think a final washout in the sector is likely or even necessary at this point.

Next we dive more into some of the macro themes from his recent podcast at TF Metals (which is linked below this interview for anyone to listen to). These relate to how he sees the potential economic weakness and contraction in 2023 unfolding, and as the growing data of the recession increases in intensity, that the Fed will eventually need to change course and backstop the markets; in a similar manner to how things did in both 2010 and 2019. Craig emphasized it will be wise to be patient, block out a lot of the mainstream financial media noise which has been constantly wrong-footed, and instead focus on what actually plays out with regards to interest rates, currencies, monetary policy, and the technical set up on the charts in the year to come.

Robert Sinn, aka Goldfinger, editor of Energy & Gold, joins us to review the technical and fundamental factors that have continued to drive the precious metals sector higher for the last few months and to kick off 2023, as well as other commodities that have his attention for the year to come.

We start off by breaking down some key support and resistance levels in gold and silver, and also take a look a sentiment indicators as more and more main stream analysts have also jumped on the precious metals bandwagon lately. While some commentators are still guarded for another big leg down or a final washout, Robert is more constructive that the bottom is in and that pullbacks will find support at higher levels. We then get into some comments on trading versus buy and hold value investing, and investor psychology as things turn from a bear market playbook to a bull market strategy.

Wrapping up the discussion then leads into the base metals and energy metals of both copper and nickel, and how Robert sees the macro fundamentals setting up, as well as his approach to investing in the related mining stocks.

Jordan Roy-Byrne, Founder and Editor of The Daily Gold, joins us to review if a large move down in general equities, whether from recession pressures or a black swan event, could pull precious metals down with it later this year. This seems like an improbable outcome, after considering both the fundamental and technical factors that demonstrate gold, silver, and the PM mining stocks have clearly bottomed and are in a new uptrend. While there will be corrections within a secular bull market, there is nothing on the charts or the macro landscape suggesting another big “wash out” event being needed for the sector to move higher.

Another aspect we consider, when looking at the last few historical crashes in PM prices, was that they were much more widely held coming into 2007-2008 and 2011-12, before the following capitulations, than the PM sector is held currently. Now, over a decade later, most institutions and funds have far less exposure to gold, silver, or the PM equities, and the volumes and participation has been substantially lower, so there are less potential sellers sitting on gains even available to provide the fuel for a large crash in prices from here.

There is no technical or quantitative data that Jordan is reviewing which remotely suggests that we are going to see a massive crash in any markets at present. He mentions that it is far more likely that as the Fed pauses it’s rate hikes, and then eventually pivots back to rate cuts, that the general equities will top and roll back over in another leg lower, but that gold and the mining stocks will diverge and continue to outperform, like we’ve seen the last few months.

Andrew Pollard, President and CEO of Blackrock Silver (TSX.V:BRC – OTCQX:BKRRF), joins us to review the transformative option agreement with Tearlach Resources to develop the Tonopah North Lithium Project. Tearlach has been granted the option to acquire, in two stages, up to a 70% interest in the lithium minerals in certain unpatented mining claims forming a portion of the Company’s Tonopah North Project in Nevada, upon incurring cumulative exploration expenditures of US$15,000,000 and the completion of a Feasibility study within 5 years.

Andrew discussed that this transaction allows Blackrock Silver shareholders to gain an interest in an active lithium project while allowing the Company to focus its resources on our high-grade precious metal discoveries. With one of the highest-grade undeveloped silver-gold resources in the world at the adjacent Tonopah West Project, a new bonanza gold & silver discovery at the Silver Cloud Project. We review the exploration strategy and upside potential for PMs at all 3 projects, and that there are still 20 holes pending assays from last year’s drilling at Tonopah West that will be released in the next month or two. There will be further news hitting the wires in the first quarter from Silver Cloud as well, with more follow up planned in the year to come.

Dave Erfle, Founder and Editor of the Junior Miner Junky, outlines his technical outlook on the precious metals sector, and which macroeconomic drivers will continue be in focus as this year unfolds. We start off reviewing the general consensus that gold, silver, and the PM mining stocks bottomed in Q4 of last year, and that a new upleg is underway in the sector. Dave shares key resistance levels he is watching for in gold, as well as GDX and GDXJ, and that while we may see a short-term corrective move, the larger trend is still higher.

Next we focus on the macroeconomic factors shaping 2023 from the lingering inflation, continued stagflation, the potential for a worse recession and deflation (like we are seeing in manufacturing, housing, and general equities), central bank policies, and geopolitical tensions. Barring some unforeseen black swan event creating a panic selling scenario, the set up is there for the general markets to keep correcting down in an orderly fashion, where the precious metals sector continues to diverge by outperforming.

We wrap up with getting Dave’s thoughts on the gold mining stocks, from the potential for producers to have their margins expand this year, to the high probability of the junior mining stocks to get re-rated higher closer to historic norms.

Joel Elconin, Co-Host of the Benzinga PreMarket Prep Show joins us to recap a wide range of market moves kicking off 2023, and proposes we may in a new normal where interest rates, P/E Ratios for company valuations, and even the trend in general markets may be sideways for a period of time.

We start with US markets, where investors seem to have more of a risk appetite for tech stocks and sectors that have sold off harder, and less of an affinity for the value sectors like healthcare, utilities, and energy stocks at present. Q4 earnings season is the main thing investors are focused on at present.

Joel mentions that the financial stocks have held up better than many anticipated, focused on JP Morgan as a key bellwether stock in that sector, which has kept him less bearish than many commentators in the main stream financial media. He sees key support in the S&P 500 around the $3800 price level, and mentions that the markets could just trend sideways in range trading for much of the first part of this year.

Jason Jessup, President and CEO of Magna Mining (TSX.V: NICU), joins us for an exploration update at the Crean Hill Mine Project, and at the Shakespeare Project, as well as the potential development strategy at both areas, and the ultimate pathway towards production in Sudbury.

We start off by reviewing the importance of the recent high-grade drill intercepts of nickel, copper, platinum and palladium in the 101 and 109 Footwall Zones that the company has been exploring.

  • Drillhole MCR-22-005, intersected 4.0 % Ni, 0.7 % Cu, 0.7 g/t Pt+Pd+Au over 31.1 metres, Including 6.5 % Ni, 1.0 % Cu, 0.5 g/t Pt+Pd+Au over 5.0 metres, and 5.7 % Ni, 0.7 % Cu, 0.8 g/t Pt+Pd+Au over 16.1 metres in the 101 FW Zone
  • Drillhole MCR-22-010, intersected 0.4 % Ni, 0.5 % Cu, 7.2 g/t Pt+Pd+Au over 98.3 metres, including higher grade intervals grading 0.8 % Ni, 0.8 % Cu, 12.7 g/t Pt+Pd+Au over 44.0 metres, including 3.7 % Ni, 2.8 % Cu, 20.2 g/t Pt+Pd+Au over 7.1 metres in the 109 FW Zone.
  • The 109 FW Zone represents an area of high-grade mineralization extending into the footwall breccia that is associated with the Main Zone.

The discussion then shifts back to reviewing the upcoming PEA for the Crean Hill, how these new footwall zone discoveries could be brought into the front-end of the mine plan, and also how toll-milling could be utilized on the front-end for a low-cost launch into production and to build up capital to redeploy into the eventual buildout of the processing center at Shakespeare. There are 15,000 meters of drilling planned in 2023 for the Crean Hill Mine Project, and Jason also reviews the ongoing exploration success they’ve been having expanding the geometry and resources at the Shakespeare Project, with more results from 2022 still to report, and another 3,000 – 5,000 meters of follow-up drilling planned for 2023.

Brien Lundin, Editor of The Gold Newsletter and out host at the New Orleans Investment Conference, joins us to review the rebound in the precious metals sector over the last few months and kicking off 2023, and why it is that the mining stocks haven’t responded with more leverage. We discussed the sector sentiment still lagging the moves we’ve seen for months in silver, gold, and the PM mining stocks, and the old truism that: “A market is often loved least by those who know it best.”

The discussion then turns to where the macroeconomic drivers are heading this year that have been so prominent over the last year like inflation expectations, Fed policy, and what may happen once they wrap up their tightening cycle in the first half of this year. We also reflect on how if inflation is starting to moderate, while metals start climbing higher in price, that this should be a boon for the PM producers financial margins and for the economics of development projects. Brien feels that companies that have large scale resources will start to shine as they have their economics rerated higher, and he is still also animated by some of the select drill play exploration stocks with quality work programs for the year to come.

We wrap up discussing that Brien feels the bottom in the precious metals sector is now behind us, and after seeing a pattern of higher highs and higher lows in the metals and mining stock ETFs, that we should not be disheartened if we see a near-term pullback to digest the last few months gains.

Craig Hemke, Founder and Editor of TF Metals Report, joins us to reflect on the continued bounce in the precious metals to start the year, and shares some key themes from his Macrocast 2023: One Step Beyond forecast (linked below this interview).

We start off discussing the pop in gold and silver and the PM mining stocks the first 2 days of 2023, which was a continuation of the trend we’ve seen the last few months. Next we shifted into reviewing how markets like the US dollar and bonds / interest rates played out in 2022, and how they could be setting up for 2023. Some of the trends discussed hinge upon expectations around inflation, data stacking up for a growing recession, labor trends, and the potential for a quicker than expected shift by the Fed to rate cuts the middle to end of next year.

Craig emphasized it is a year that could be much like 2019, where it will be wise to be patient, block out a lot of the main stream financial media noise, and focus on what actually plays out as things evolve into the middle of the year to come.

Akiba Leisman, President and CEO of Mako Mining (TSX.V:MKO – OTCQX:MAKOF), joins us for an exploration update at the Southwest Pit and the Los Conchitas Project, as well as an operations update at the San Albino Gold Mine in Nicaragua. We started off reviewing some of the recent high-grade gold drill results from the 2 drill rigs that had been operating last year at the Southwest Pit. Some drilling highlights released today were intercepts of 98.50 g/t Au and 66.3 g/t Ag over 1.9m, including 168.30 g/t Au and 110.0 g/t Ag over 1.1m; along with another intercept of 52.66 g/t Au and 47.2 g/t Ag over 2.0m, including 78.14 g/t Au and 69.6 g/t Ag over 1.2m. These results are all feeding into an updated resource estimate for this SouthWest pit near San Albino in the first half of 2023, which will be followed by an updated mine plan and economics.

In addition, in 2022 exploration team had deployed five of its seven diamond drill rigs in the Las Conchitas area, which is located between the San Albino Mine and the historical El Golfo Mine located within the Company’s El Jicaro Concession. With solid results reported previously and still to be returned from this drill campaign in the months to come, this area will see it’s first maiden resource estimate reported in tandem with the overall resource update in late Q1 or possibly in early Q2, due to logistics.

On the operations front, things have been going much better since October of last year and this is setting up for projected better numbers in Q4, once they get reported in a few weeks. While the “preg-robbing” from the carbon in the ore and leach had impacted Q2 and part of Q3 production in 2022, the proper adjustments to the process were made, and recovery rates have improved significantly since Q3 of last year. Currently the mill is running above capacity many days with throughput reaching over 600 tonnes per day, and this production improvement will carry forward into 2023.

Jordan Roy-Byrne, Founder and Editor of The Daily Gold, joins us to discuss both the fundamental and technical factors that demonstrate gold, silver, and the PM mining stocks have clearly bottomed and are in a new uptrend. We start off discussing the continued recent move higher in gold and mining stocks, and where short-term resistance may come in for the metals, GDX, and GDXJ.  

While we may see a mild corrective move to digest these recent gains, Jordan feels those people still expecting a final wash out to new lows in the metals or miners are ignoring tons of obvious data, and that there is not a bearish case to be made for the precious metals right now.  He provides the technical, fundamental, and inter-market analysis rationale for his conviction that we are starting a very bullish period and likely a new secular bull market in the PMs in real terms.

Dave Erfle, Founder and Editor of the Junior Miner Junky, joins us to highlight that the PMs have kicked off the new year in the green, even despite the higher US Dollar, due to the war premium out of Ukraine.

We review if the rally witnessed in the PM sector over the last few months has more room to run, or if a pullback is in order? Dave shares key resistance levels he is watching for GDX and GDXJ, and discusses how the market pendulum is swinging from very oversold levels from last September, to a continuation in the opposite direction of swinging to a more overbought as the year unfolds.   

We wrap up with some of the macroeconomic factors shaping 2023 from the lingering stagflation, potential for a worse recession, China reopening, central bank policies, and upcoming Fed meeting minutes.

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to outline why it is best to be patient with companies that have demonstrated something special, because they may still have much further to grow if they have unrealized and growing value, before one would want to harvest gains. We’ve discussed in the past that often the discovery hole, or key company milestone is just the beginning of the journey, even if the share price has put in a nice pop higher.

In this interview we discuss Magna Mining (TSX.V: NICU), as an example of nickel and base metals company that Erik feels is just getting started in relation to the market recognition of the value they already have put in place. Erik makes the point when one gets positioned early into an unfolding value creation story, that one can even press their bets by averaging up in a story that continues to grow in share-price and market cap; so this is the approach he has decided to take personally in Magna Mining up until present. *

We point out that investors should really do their due diligence on the front-end as to where they believe the value in any company they invest in can realistically grow over a certain period of time. Then once an investors has a thesis for the potential value of the company over a specific time horizon for the investment, then they can ask themselves if their actions are in alignment with that thesis when deciding when to exit the stock. Most big wins in the sector take years for the stories to unfold, which can be a challenge for investors that only want to hold for weeks or months before assessing if it was the right investment.

*In full disclosure, Magna Mining, mentioned by Erik in this interview, is a personal position he holds in his portfolio, and is also a site sponsor of The Hedgeless Horseman website.

Jordan Roy-Byrne, Founder and Editor of The Daily Gold, joins us to discuss both the fundamental and technical factors that could move gold and silver stocks higher next year.  We start off discussing how the macroeconomic trends are different now with regards to precious metals prices and inflation than they were a few years back when the PM sector took off in 2019 and 2020, and how these headwinds and tailwinds, especially around input costs relative to topline metals prices have morphed and affected margins over the last 2 ½ years.  Jordan sees a better scenario shaping up for 2023 where costs may stay muted while metals prices breakout to new highs, and this ties into market expectations on Fed policy, and a contracting economy.

Shawn Khunkhun, President and CEO of Dolly Varden Silver (TSX.V:DV – OTCQX:DOLLF), joins us to review the recently announced upsized capital raise and provided an exploration update with many more drill results on tap from 2022 to release. On Dec 22nd, the Company announced the closing of a $22.6 million Private Placement with participation by Hecla Mining, maintaining their over 10% stake in the company, and this will allow the company to keep the exploration momentum going with more step outs and discovery drilling to test the size and scale of the combined Kitsault Calley Project (the recently combined Homestake Ridge and Dolly Varden Projects) in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.

Shaw recapped some of the high-grade silver drill results at the Kitsol Vein and stepping out from the Torbrit Resource Area as part of this year’s exploration program as well as highlighting the success in stepping out and growing things at the Wolf deposit, for some of the best exploration results seen on the project to date. We also discussed the solid high-grade gold and silver results coming back from Homestake in recent news releases. With 50 more drill holes to release from the Homestake, Wolf, and Torbrit areas, there is plenty of drill news on tap for the next few months.

Jayant Bhandari, Private Investor, joins us for a focus on the macro backdrop in the gold and silver sector and how he is managing his portfolio of junior mining stocks. We start off discussing that there are 2 main ways to make money investing in the sector: 1) Positioning in companies that can build shareholder value over time, and 2) buying company positions when they are low, when other investors that bought at higher levels panic sell out of them at any price. During this seasonal end-of-year low volume paired with high volatility, Jayant is swing trading micro-cap stocks as they whip-saw back and forth, as an idea for more active traders.

For value investors, looking for longer-term buy and hold strategies, Jayant outlines the fundamentals of four companies that he has positions in and believes will appreciate in the year ahead. We discuss Aztec Minerals (AZT.V), Newcore Gold (NCAU.V), Montage Gold (MAU.V), and Riverside Resources (RRI.V). This brings up a broader discussion about how low the ounces in the ground and jurisdictions are being valued, and what kind of work programs he wants to see from junior companies in this environment.

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to review how he is trading the gold, silver, and base metals junior exploration stocks in light of the end-of-year volatility. We discuss that in addition to the conclusion of tax loss selling, and the rebalancing of the GDXJ, which sent some stocks up or down in dramatic fashion lately, that this time of year with lower volumes can be quite turbulent in the daily pricing moves in many stocks. These big moves in either direction can vastly change the potential risk-reward setups in many stocks depending on where investors get positioned or average their cost basis from.

We also highlight 2 stocks, Snowline Gold (SGD) and Eskay Mining (ESK), that have seen some noticeable volatility lately, both in anticipation of key news, and then after key news was released to the market. Erik points out some of the thoughts he has around their valuations before and after the news, with regards to changing investors sentiment and expectations, and within the larger context of where they could be heading over the next 1-2 years.*

Jordan Roy-Byrne, Founder and Editor of The Daily Gold, joins us to discuss both the short to medium-term outlook, as well as the longer-term outlook in the precious metals sector. We start off discussing the encouraging rally we’ve seen in gold, silver, and the mining stocks over the last few months, but that they are approaching some key resistance areas where PMs may need to correct and consolidate these moves through both time and price. We then get into continued low sentiment in the PM space, despite the recent move higher in the metals; and that the mining stocks overall have not really provided the upside leverage yet, like they will when the true secular bull market gets underway.

Jordan differentiates the nominal moves higher that we’ve seen in gold, silver, and the mining stocks since 2016, where there was still strong general equities markets, and points out that in real terms, that was not a secular bull market yet, and that the real bull market is likely just getting started. We wrap up with how he is expecting next year to play out for US equity markets and gold, and at what price levels he expects to see more die-hard resource investors return to the sector, and then after that the lagging factor in the generalist investors getting involved at higher levels.

Oliver Turner, VP of Corporate Development at Karora Resources (TSX:KRR – OTCQX:KRRGF) joins us to review the Q3 2022 operations and some guidance for 2023 as it relates to their gold and nickel operations in Western Australia. Third quarter 2022 consolidated gold production was a record 38,437 ounces, beating the previous record set in Q2 by 25%. Production for the first three quarters of 2022 was 96,578 ounces, placing Karora in a strong position to deliver on improved full year consolidated 2022 gold production guidance of 120,000 to 135,000 ounces. Adjusted earnings of $6.6 million, or $0.04 per share for the third quarter of 2022, increased by $2.0 million compared to the prior quarter and consolidated all-in-sustaining-costs (AISC) per ounce sold improved to US$1,069, a 10% decrease compared to second quarter 2022 AISC of US$1,190, and a 23% decrease over the first quarter AISC of US$1,396.

We review the aggressive growth plans for production over the next few years, as the company has now got a 2nd mill in operations, and has ongoing work developing it’s twin decline ramp into the Beta Hunt mine, which will allow more throughput through the mill, and projected guidance for 150,000 – 170,000 ounces for 2023, and then 185,000-205,000 ounces by 2024. 80% of the producing operations will continue to come from the Beta Hunt gold-nickel mine, and the balance will come from the Higginsville Gold Operations and the new contributions from the Spargos deposit which just came online in Q4 of 2021. One area that may positively impact cost estimates is the increasing value of the nickel as co-credit to the gold at Beta Hunt, and we spend some time reviewing the PEA put out for a “nickel mine within a gold mine” based on the exploration and development success at the 30C & 50C & 4C nickel showings being referred to as the Gamma Block, south of the Gamma Fault.

We wrap up having Oliver reviewing the exploration success at Beta Hunt and Higginsville from the $20 million exploration program in 2022, which was the largest drill program at all projects in over 12 years. There were several new or developing key areas of interest at multiple properties as well as some as new discovery at the Mason Zone extending the mineralization around the Western Flanks area, that we dive into for more details.

Please email us with any questions for Oliver regarding Karora Resources. Our email addresses are Fleck@kereport.com and Shad@kereport.com.

Ian Fraser, CEO and VP of Exploration at Fathom Nickel (CSE: FNI) (OTC: FNICF), joins us for a comprehensive company update of the work being done to advance both the Gochager Lake Project and the Albert Lake Project. We start off when getting an update on why the Company acquired the Gochager Lake Nickel Project for it’s known historic nickel – copper – cobalt – platinum – palladium – gold mineralogy, and the recent news that the company expects their permits for exploration to come in by Jan 23, 2023, allowing work to commence in early February. One of the first things the company wants to do is twin an old historic hole with 290 meters of mineralization, utilizing bore hole EM drilling, but also focusing on assaying more for cobalt, PGEs, and gold since those were not properly accounted for in the past exploration.

Next we focus on the Company flagship Albert Lake Project in Saskatchewan, which has seen most of the past work around the Rottenstone Mine area. However, there has also been recent exploration success in stepping out to the emerging Bay-Island Trend and Tremblay-Olson Trend, showing this is a very well-mineralized nickel – copper – PGEs district. We discuss some of the recent work the company has been engaged with in 2022 on these targets, and look ahead to the work programs targeted for 2023.

If you have any follow up questions for Ian regarding Fathom Nickel, then please email us at either Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.

Jordan Roy-Byrne, Founder and Editor of The Daily Gold, joins us to discuss his technical outlook on gold, silver and the precious metals mining stocks. We start off reviewing the recent corrective action in the PMs, after seeing silver stage a very constructive run off it’s $17.41 low in early September to close at $23.25 on Friday last week, and after seeing gold make a $200 move from $1618 in early November up to $1818 intraday last week. Jordan sees the resistance at the 200 day and 400 day moving averages as having been a factor in not just the metals retracing some of the move, but also in GDX and GDXJ turning down around those levels.

We then discuss if it isn’t more important for the recent bounce to be consolidated in time up at these higher levels, more so than at a specific price level. Jordan makes the point that while price and moving averages are important, that it is also very important to consider breadth indicators and inter-market analysis between gold and S&P 500, GDX and the S&P 500, the gold:silver ratio, and how these are reacting to recession concerns, and the eventual decoupling of the precious metals sector from the US general equities markets. Even if the recent consolidation takes a few more months of muted to corrective action, overall it appears that the bottom is in for prices in the sector.

Sebastian Wahl, VP of Corporate Development and Director of Silver X Mining (TSX.V: AGX) (OTCQB: AGXPF), joins us for a comprehensive update on operations and exploration at the Nueva Recuperada Project in the prolific Huancavelica silver belt, in central Peru. We start off by discussing the production output from the operations at the Tangana Mine, where the company is generated record quarterly operating revenues of $5.5 million, representing a 73% increase from previous quarter and record quarterly operating earnings attained of $2.0 million.

We also reviewed the record monthly silver equivalent ounces processed in August of 195,039, and the low cash costs of $11.0 per silver equivalent ounce, and All-In-Sustaining Cost (AISC) of $15.8 per AgEq ounce produced. This comes back to the quality of the ore, the experience of the operations team, and the significant co-credits from both gold and base metals from the Tangana Mine area.

Next shifted over to exploration and expansion of resources, not just around the Tangana Mine, but also at the Esperanza Project and developing Plata Mine, and at other regional targets. There will be coming resource updates, not just in size but in quality of the resources next year, as well as a coming PEA for moving Plata towards production in 2024. The company sees a trajectory of ongoing production growth, revenue growth, and resource growth moving into next year.

James Withall, President and CEO of Rupert Resources (TSX.V:RUP – OTCQX:RUPRF) joins us to recap the PEA on the Ikkari Deposit, in Finland, released on November 28th. We focus on the key production and financial numbers that present a highly economic deposit at a $1,650 gold price.

Here are a number of data points we discuss.

  • Phased mine plan optimizing near-term cash flow: Open-pit operation at Ikkari in first 11 years, transitioning to Ikkari underground (years 10-23) and Pahtavaara concentrate (years 12 to 24).
  • Robust returns and fast-track to payback: After-tax Net Present Value (“NPV”) (5% discount) of $1.6 billion with unlevered Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) of 46% and payback after only two years, assuming a gold price of $1,650 per troy ounce (“oz”).
  • Long life: 22-year life of mine (“LOM”) includes recovered gold of 4.25 million ounces with average annual production of 200,000 ounces. Open pit operation is expected to support average annual production of 220,000 ounces in years one to 11.
  • High margin production profile: Expected lowest quartile all-in sustaining cost (“AISC”) of $759/oz over LOM, and $596/oz during open-pit operation. Low sensitivity to cut-off grade and low initial strip ratio.

Since a PEA is a snap shot in time we also have James outline what comes next for the Company and asset. We also discuss the permitting path now that a PEA is released.

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to review why some junior mining stocks are not moving despite the continued rally in gold, silver, and the precious metals producers. We discuss that quite often the value drivers of earlier-stage explorers in the junior mining sector have little in common with the specific direction of the underlying metals price action or even whether it is a bull or bear market.

We get into the current environment we are in here in tax loss selling season, where a junior can pop or drop by 10% or 20% on no fundamental news and even if metals are flat on the day, just because larger investors are getting into or out of positions as their rebalance their portfolios into lower volume. Erik also pointed out that the best offense and defense for him has been consistently buying into the weakness when he felt valuations were cheap. He clarified that a stock being cheap is not equal to the last day of selling or a bottom in a stock, so if it continues to fall it is just varying degrees of absurdity.

As the sector gets more absurd, volatility is the only currency he uses to capitalize on market inefficiencies. He reiterated that most investors have been shooting themselves in the foot by only trying to find stocks that will no longer go down anymore, and then are stuck chasing rallies to the upside, having sacrificed many multiples of gains that could have been had if they were just comfortable with the idea that the stock could still go a bit lower after buying a cheap valuation.

*In full disclosure, some of the companies mentioned by Erik, such as (IAU) (IAUX) I-80 Gold Corp in this interview, are personal positions in his portfolio and may be covered or site sponsors on The Hedgeless Horseman website.

Figure 1: Illustrates drill highlights from the second phase of RC drilling at the Falla 13 discovery zone. Figure 4: Illustrates a long-section along the Falla 13 discovery with a view to the east. Importantly, high-grade mineralization appears to have a flat lying geometry that is generally located between the contact between dacitic volcanic rocks that overlay a diorite and monzodiorite intrusive complex. A second lower structure encountered lower grades within the phase 2 drill program and demonstrates the potential for parallel structures to be mineralized.

Over the past 2 weeks Fireweed Metals (TSX.V:FWZ – OTCQB:FWEDF) announced the first round of drill results from the Boundary West zone (November 22nd), which yielded the best intercept to date on the Project, a $27 million financing being lead by the Lundin family (November 29th), then up-sized the financing to $35 million (November 30th).

Brandon McDonald, CEO of Fireweed Metals joins us to recap all the news starting with the financing. We discuss how the deal with the Lundin family came together and what the money will be used for in terms of exploration next year.

We then move to the initial drill results at the Boundary West area on the MacMillian Pass Project, in Yukon. A focus is on Hole 2 which “intersected high-grade massive sulphides and veins: 124 m of 12.3% zinc, 1.3% lead, and 45.9 g/t silver including 60 m of 19.0% zinc, 1.6% lead, and 64.7 g/t silver, the best ever intersection recorded anywhere at Macmillan Pass, in terms of grade x thickness.

Craig Hemke, Editor of TF Metals Report, joins us to review the recent pop in the precious metals on the back of Jerome Powell’s press conference yesterday, and points out the similarities to 2018-2019 when the expectations and messaging were for the Fed to keep hiking aggressively, only for them to pause, pivot, and start cutting rates in mid 2019. We noted that Powell is simply doing what he said was the trajectory back at the September meeting, but markets interpreted his comments yesterday as having more of a dovish tone and signaling moderating the pace of the rate hikes starting December.

Craig also points out that with this recent rally in both gold and silver, that they are quite close to taking out their 2021 annual closes at $1829 and $23.38 respectively. Making a new annual closing high in 2022 is not something most market participants or technicians have been calling for, but it is in the realm of possibilities at this point. Another potential mover could be China starting to open it’s economy back up in 2023, and that could be a tailwind for the commodities and PMs. We wrap up discussing whether a rebound in the US dollar or interest rates, could end up reversing the recent uptrend in most markets, as well as looking forward at the jobs report tomorrow.

Robert Sinn, aka Goldfinger, editor of Energy & Gold, joins us to review the recent bounce even higher in the precious metals sector and his trading strategies around tax loss selling silly season. We start off reviewing recent moves in gold and silver off key technical support levels and through key technical resistance levels, and the generally better set up for the PM sector.

We then shift over to trading strategies he is deploying for tax loss selling, and we discuss 2 companies that have his attention as good candidates; Aurion Resources (TSX.V: AU) (OTC: AIRFF) and Amex Exploration (TSX.V: AMX) (OTC: AMXEF).* We wrap up with the importance of finding good companies that are cashed up to do meaningful work next year, and the pitfalls of chasing popular cult stocks when looking at year over year performance.

  • In full disclosure, both Aurion Resources and Amex Exploration are sponsors of Robert’s platform and he has positions in them. Additionally, Aurion Resources is a sponsor of the KE Report, and Shad has a position in Amex Exploration.

We are joined by Ken Gray, President and CEO, and Matt Skanderup COO of Petrus Resources (TSX: PRQ) (OTC: PTRUF), for a review of 2022 operations and financials, and a look forward into production and financial growth for 2023.

We start off by getting a recap of the 2022 capital program, and some guidance for growing free cash flows for 2023, as production growth will be expanding. The company has drilled 15 oil and gas wells, at both the flagship Ferrier liquids-rich Cardium gas play and Ferrier North in Alberta. The company is anticipating a 75% increase in production in 2023 over 2022, and projects it will be producing 13,000+ BOE per day on average by next year. There is also anticipated 65% increase in free cash flows projected for next year, equating to $140-$150Million annually. The plan is to start working through more debt next year, and the work budget is slated to be in the $130-$135Million for 2023.

Ken outlines that this large growth profile heading into next year is what distinguishes Petrus Resources from other oil and nat gas companies in the sector, and Matt outlines some key news and company milestones for investors to keep tabs on as we turn the calendar over to 2023.

If you have any questions for Ken or Matt with regards to Petrus Resources, then please email us at either Fleck@kerport.com or Shad@kereport.com.

Dana Lyons, Fund Manager, joins us to initially comment on the continued move higher in gold and silver, which picked up momentum in the last 24 hours. He shares his trading strategy as well as longer term outlook. 

A key point is made in the second half of the interview were Dana going back over a decade to address what seemed like a never ending bull market for US markets. When a bull market gets that extended it takes a long time, much longer than simply 1 year, to work off the excesses.

Back on October 31st, Allied Copper (TSX.V:CPR – OTCQB:CPRRF) announced an agreement to acquire a private lithium company, Volt Lithium. Just last week the Company reported additional financial and technical information on the deal. To get some more information on the deal and the strategy in the lithium space I am joined by Alex Wylie, President and CEO of Volt Lithium and incoming President of Allied Copper when the acquisition closes.

We kick off by recapping the background of Volt Lithium and Alex’s history in the resource sector. This then ties into a discussion on the overall strategy for lithium, where the Company will enter into production agreements with oil and gas companies to extract the lithium. As Alex outlines there is potential for the Company to produce lithium by the first half of next year. We also discuss how the move to lithium will be balanced with the Company’s current copper assets, that are awaiting assay results.

Andrew Pollard, CEO of Blackrock Silver (TSX.V:BRC – OTCQX:BKRRF), joins us to unpack the Tonopah West Maiden Stope Optimized Resource Estimate; 2.9 Million Tonnes Grading 446 g/t AgEq for 42.6 Million Ounces AgEq, which was announced on May 2nd. Andrew addresses the inflated expectations of the retail investors, and contrasted their interpretation with institutional investors that were quite on-board with growing such a high-grade silver deposit of size, over 40 million ounces, in less than 18 months of drilling. Andrew mentioned that in the next month a more detailed report will be released to the market showing sensitivity do different grades and costs, and it will highlight how many ounces could be added to the resource using different metrics that will be useful for investors to keep in mind.

This resource estimate incorporated much of the exploration results from the 110,000 drill campaign at the Tonopah West Property, in Nevada. The majority of the drilling has been focused on infill and step-out drilling around the DPB Target and Victor Targe in a grid of 800 meters x 800 meters over 6 different veins. Recently the company has been drilling 250 – 300 meter step out holes at Denver vein, along with some larger discovery step out holes over 1km away from known mineralization which are still at the lab and awaiting results to come back. In addition, the Company is currently drilling their recently acquired Tonopah North project on BLM lands, with 7 holes drilled from the targeted 9,000 meters and 12 hole scout drilling program there to continue expanding resources.

Brian Miller, CEO of Astra Exploration (TSX.V:ASTR) joins me to recap the initial drill results from the maiden drill program at the Company flagship Pampa Paciencia Project in northern Chile. The first 11 holes, out of the 30 hole program, were released yesterday, May 2nd, many intersecting gold veins over long widths. The program is testing 5 targets across the Project.

We start by outlining where the best holes were drilled and getting a better understanding of the 5 targets that were drilled. As Brian notes the veins are very wide, ranging from 10-20 meters in width. We also discuss how the veins are being targeted since they are all undercover. The final point we cover is the overall cost for the 30 hole program coming in at around C$650,000.

If you have any follow up questions for Brain at Astra Exploration please email me at Fleck@kereport.com.

Joel Elconin, Co-Host of the Benzinga PreMarket Prep Show and Editor of the PreMakret Prep website joins us to recap the extremely volatile US equity markets. After falling hard to end last week, the markets started Monday off by continuing to selloff. However in the last hour of trading yesterday they rebounded and today are fighting into positive territory. While there is no telling how the markets will react to the Fed statement tomorrow this little bit bounce is tempering at least some of the near term recession fears.

We also discuss the selloff in commodities, especially precious metals, as well as how China’s ongoing lock-down is hurting all economies.

Jim Grieg, President of Benchmark Metals (TSX.V:BNCH – OCTQX:BNCHF) joins us to recap the recent round of drill results from the Dukes Ridge Deposit on the Lawyer’s Gold and Silver Project in the Golden Horseshoe of BC. The headline hole, Hole 22, intersected 57 meters of 2.52g/t gold equivalent and was drilled just outside the existing resource shell (see Figure 1 posted below).

Jim first recaps the location of this hole and how recent drilling has expanded on the Dukes Ridge Deposit. Also important from the drilling this year is the Company is seeing the Dukes Ridge Deposit connecting to the Cliff Creek Deposit (the largest of all deposits on the Property). These results will be included in the upcoming updated Resource Estimate which is still on track for this month.

There was also some metallurgical results announced last week with 93% gold recoveries and 65% silver recoveries.

Kai Hoffman, CEO of Soar Financial Group, joins us to share his thoughts on the muted interest and recent pullback in the precious metals sector, and overviews for listeners the highlights of the upcoming mining conference in Germany. We start off with a look at the financial health of the industry as tracked by the Oreninc Index that Kai and his team facilitate. With the financing window closing for companies, over the course of 2022 and specifically over the last 2 months, companies that are cashed up for the work programs are in better shape than those that will need to raise capital in the near future. The discussion also gets into the tough positions company executives are in trying to strike the balance between moving the company forward, putting out news to investors, but also conserving capital at a time where most news is being shrugged off out of disinterest or simply becomes a liquidity event.

Next we ask Kai about the themes and presenters at the upcoming 4th German Gold Fair mining conference later this month on May 27th -28th in Frankfurt, Germany. He has a hunch the talking points will have shifted from concerns about inflation, prevalent at last year’s show, to now looking forward at the market conditions to a potential recession on the horizon. Click on the link down below for more information on Germany’s largest mining conference.

Mike Bandrowski, President and CEO of Big Ridge Gold (TSX.V:BRAU – OTCQB:ALVLF) joins us to recap the next tranche of 10 drill results, released April 26th, at the Hope Brooke Gold Project in Newfoundland. 23 holes have been released so far out of the 50 holes that have been drilled, so far from the Phase 1, 25,000 meter drill program, with all of the holes intersecting gold mineralization.

We have Mike outline where the drilling has been focused so far at the Main Zone and 240 Zone as it moves to the southwest and at depth to possibly connect these two resource areas. There will also be drilling at depth under the Main Zone and 240 Zone, and then finally some shallow drilling in the NorthEast Extension Zone which is currently undrilled, but shows promise on the geophysics work completed thus far.

The Hope Brooke Project already has nearly 1million ounces of gold in a resource with the goal of continuing to grow the total ounces and update the resource estimate the beginning of next year, and then start working on a economic study to highlight the viability of the deposit. The study has not been updated since 2012, and that was at much lower gold prices, and it didn’t account for the copper found in about 70% of the holes, which should be a key co-credit.

If you have any follow up questions for Mike regarding the drill program please email us at Fleck@kereport.com and Shad@kereport.com.

Blake Hylands, President of Troilus Gold Corp. (TSX: TLG) (OTCQX: CHXMF), joins us to review some recent drill results near the Southwest Zone at the Troilus Gold Project; an advanced stage exploration and development project that is northeast of the Val-d’Or district, within the Frôtet-Evans Greenstone Belt in Quebec, Canada.

The Southwest Zone appears to be an analog of Z87, in the view of the exploration team, and they are starting to drill the Gap Zone between the existing resource and the Southwest Zone. Some recent drill assays announced from this region to the markets on April 21st were both 92 g/t and 68 g/t gold Over 1m, and 3.07 G/T AuEq Over 15m, Zone Extended +200m; Initial Gap Zone Drilling Returns 4.2 G/T AuEq Over 7m Gap. These higher-grade intercepts are shallow / near surface and have now expanded the Southwest Zone from 600 meters, at the time of the last PEA to roughly 2 kilometers.

We also discussed some of the projected guidance from the several years old PEA, like the targeted 22 year mine life producing around 200,000 – 250,000 ounces per year of gold production and 17-22 million pounds of copper per annum.

Blake mentioned that the cutoff for drilling to be included in the upcoming Pre-Feasibility Study due out by July of 2022, was last week. Since that last PEA the Company has drilled another 150,000 meters and greatly expanded the Southwest Zone, the precious metals prices are much higher, and there is a significant copper credit as well, so all of this will factor into the improved economics released on the PFS later this summer.

Dana Lyons, Fund Manager and Editor of the Lyons Share, joins us to discuss the turbulent markets, through the lens of quantitative and technical analysis, and review which sectors look appealing for both long and short strategies.

We start off with the recent jump higher in the US dollar which is up testing resistance at $104, and so Dana has taken profits on that trade in the short-term, but still could see the trend in the dollar heading higher in the medium term. Next we moved over to the commodities and how some have been pressured by the strong dollar, but he is more constructive on the actual commodities than he is on the commodity-related equities in the near-term, where more weakness may be in store.

As for the general equity markets, Dana is still constructive on some of the defense sectors that have recently pulled back like consumer staples, utilities, healthcare, and some commodities, but he isn’t buying at present. He is still bearish on tech, growth, small caps, the Nasdaq, and Europe, but has pulled down some of the shorts they’ve had on, in the event of a near-term bounce, but he would go back to shorting them if they come up to key resistance areas the quantitative readings don’t substantially improve. We wrap up with bonds where Dana remains bearish on the longer term trend, and bullish on rising yields and while they have had good trades in yields to the upside they are scaling them back in the short-term in case they take a pause, but still looking at higher yields to come and lower bond prices in the medium to longer-term.

Rahul Paul, President and CEO of Radisson Mining (TSX.V: RDS) (OTC: RMRDF), joins us to discuss some of the deeper directional drill results in the Trend O area at the flagship O’Brien Gold Project located along the world-renowned Larder Lake-Cadillac Break in Abitibi, Québec. On April 21st, the Company reported multiple high-grade intercepts including 37.86 g/t Au over 2.00 m and 12.69 g/t Au over 3.50 m, expanding mineralization laterally and at depth in the gap between current resources and the old O’Brien Mine at this Trend #0.

These results are part of a larger on-going 130,000 meter drill program, and in line with the Company strategy to continue testing their 5 zones at depth. We had Rahul outline how this new directional drilling approach was not only more effective in branching out multiple times from a single pilot hole, but also in how many meters of traditional surface drilling it saved, for a more economic approach to deep exploration. We discussed how deep the exploration team has drilled thus far at Trends 1, 2, 3, and 4, in concert with some of the more shallow surface drilling that is still underway doing true discovery exploration. We wrap up with the meters still at the lab to be released, along with the meters remaining to be drilled, and the successful hit rates the company has in the different trends they are exploring as they better understand the geology.

If anyone has any further questions for Hubert regarding Radisson Mining, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.

Ian McGavney, COO of Colibri Resources (TSX.V:CBI – OTC:CRUCF), joins us to provide a comprehensive exploration update on the Pilar, Diamante, and Evelyn projects in Sonora Mexico. We start off with the Pilar Gold-Silver Property joint-ventured with Tocvan Ventures, as they are still drilling their Phases 3 program out of 5 Phases, and have been putting out some promising wide drill intercepts that also include high grade sections. Drill hole JES-22-62 returned 108.6-meters at 0.8 g/t Au and 3 g/t Ag, including 31.9-meters at 2.4 g/t Au and 2 g/t Ag. Within this broader mineralized interval, consistent high-grade gold mineralization was recorded within a silicified sulphide-bearing breccia which returned 9.4-meters at 7.6 g/t Au and 5 g/t Ag .

Next we moved over to the joint-venture optioned Diamante property being worked on by Silver Spruce with some high grade channel sample results, including 51.5 g/t from silicified breccias in the Calton target, which was the highest Au grade yet reported from Diamante. In addition there were silver values >1,000 g/t were recorded from base metal sulphide-bearing veins at Pillado, El Chon and El Cumbro, the latter returning 2,270 g/t Ag, accompanied in several target areas by high-grade primary and supergene Lead + Zinc + Copper up to a combined grade of 50.9 wt.%.

There are a number of upcoming drill programs, trenching programs, and groundwork mapping programs at all 5 Company projects and a great deal of newsflow on tap for the balance of 2022 for investors to keep tabs on.

Jordan Roy-Byrne, Founder and Editor of The Daily Gold, joins us to review support levels in the precious metals sector after we’ve seen a short-term corrective pullback, in the context of the larger bull market pattern still well underway. We start off discussing the pullback in gold and that Jordan’s earlier target of $1908 came into play, right above key $1900 support, but that he is still watching to see if gold can get up and hold above $1920. Jordan breaks down 2 prior periods where gold corrected, then approached all-time highs, and then had corrective moves followed by even larger rallies. Jordan unpacks where these moves project a potential pullback to the high $1800s, but in the context of that bullish medium-term bounce out of that move, and also in conjunction with the longer-term cup and handle pattern that is also still playing out.

Next we moved over to silver and that while the technical outlook isn’t quite as bullish as gold, and it has more overhead resistance levels to clear at $28-$30, $35-$37, and $50, that Jordan still believes it will eventually start to play catchup to the moves in gold, once the yellow metal is above $2100. We wrap up by taking a look at how the mining stocks via GDX and GDXJ, that have generally held onto more of their gains and have better technical setups than the metals; which is a constructive development in the sector.

We start off by looking at how the project economics improved from 2017 to the updated Feasibility Study released in 2021, and then also detailed how robust the economics are with sensitivities to current metals prices. The Horne 5 Deposit has 6.1 million gold equivalent ounces in reserves, and over 9 million gold equivalent ounces in all categories. The mix of metals represented in the project is 68% gold, 7.4% silver, 9.4% copper, and 14.9% zinc. The Project is estimated to produce 220,000 ounces of gold annually, with a total of 320,000 ounces of gold equivalent ounces annually over a 15 year mine life.

Next we shift over to the key milestones for 2022 and 2023 for investors to keep tabs on and get a breakdown from Jeff on the Capex needed for various parts of the development process. We also discuss the large company partners that all have an interest in this asset and will help with various parts of the Project financing. These partners include Osisko Gold Royalties, Osisko Development, the Province of Quebec, and Glencore.

Please email us with any follow up questions you have for Jeff regarding Falco and the Horne 5 Deposit. Our email addresses are Fleck@kereport.com and Shad@kereport.com.

Quinton Hennigh, Technical Advisor and Director of Eskay Mining (TSX.V:ESK – OTCQX:ESKYF) and John DeDecker, VP of Exploration, joins me to recap yesterday’s news reporting the final drill results from the 2021 drill program at the Consolidated Eskay Property, in the Golden Triangle of BC.

We start by having Quinton recap the overall goals of the drill program and the key results. Most of the drilling was focused on the TV and Jeff Zones there were some news targets drilled. A new discovery that was reported in the news yesterday was the C-10 Prospect. John provides more information on this new discovery and the the follow up work planed. Quinton also provides insights on the drill program upcoming for this year.

Dave Erfle, Founder of The Junior Miner Junky, joins us to review the big corrective move we’ve seen in the precious metals sector as the geopolitical premium came out of the markets since the end of last week. We start off by reviewing the generally bullish longer-term technical setup despite the recent pullback, and that Dave would ultimately like to see a quarterly close in gold above $1975 to confirm the breakout on the longer duration Cup & Handle Pattern on the chart, which is still unclear here in mid-March whether that will still be possible.

We then pivot over to look at how the mining stocks have not moved to valuations even close to prior cycles when metals prices got to levels we saw just last week, and look at what it will take for them to catch up with the moves in the underlying metals. Dave is still encouraged by the upward trends on the GDX:GLD and GDXJ:GLD ratio charts, and believes the strength in the mining stocks today, in the face of falling gold and silver prices, is another indicator that the stocks are sniffing out another turn higher in anticipation of the Fed rate hiking cycle set to begin tomorrow. Next we shift over to how the mining stocks may be correlated recently with the moves in the general us equities markets, and Dave is still expecting that trend to diverge like we saw for most of the year until recently, and feels this further divergence is what will drive new buying into the PM sector. We wrap up with the unusual news of the movie theater chain company AMC Entertainment (AMC) buying a stake in a gold mining company along with Eric Sprott, and how this may be an early indication of more speculative money starting to follow the mining sector.

Joel Elconin, Co-Host of the Benzinga PreMarket Prep Show and Editor of the PreMarket Prep website joins us to make sense of the continued volatility in the markets. We start on the commodity front where some of the recent spikes have been sold off to levels close to where they were when the war started. This is telling us that the market thinks the war is over, however comments today by Putin say the otherwise. We tie the volatility to the the Fed meeting tomorrow and what the Fed is going to do.

Paul Geddes, VP of Exploration and Resource Development at Skeena Resources (TSX:SKE – NYSE:SKE) joins me to recap the final drill results from the 2021 drill program at the Eskay Creek Project, in the Golden Triangle of BC.

We start with the latest results that expand on one of the new discoveries, the 21A West Zone and hole 997 that yielded 8.95g/t AuEq over 34 meters. As Pual states hole 997 was drilled within the pit in an area that was previously thought to be waste material. I also have Paul relate these results to the other new discovery of the 23 Zone, announced in January.

We then focus on the 60,000 meter drill program for this year. Paul shares the main areas being focused on with the goal of continuing to make new discoveries and expand on the recent discoveries.

Peter Dembicki, President and CEO of Tier One Silver (TSX.V:TSLV – OTCQB:TSLVF) and Christian Rios, VP of Exploration join me for an update on yesterday’s news release highlighting the drill targets for the upcoming Phase 2 drill program at the Curibaya Project in Peru.

The Phase 2 program will have a general focus on the northern part of the Property, at the Cambaya Corridor (see Figure 1 posted below), as well as a new copper porphyry target (see Figure 5 also posted below). We recap the overall strategy of the program and what work still needs to be completed before drills hit the ground.

If you have any follow up questions for the team at Tier One Silver please email me at Fleck@kereport.com.

Figure 1: Illustrates structural corridors and significant drill hole and channel sampling results from the Curibaya project to date.

Figure 5: Illustrates the geochemical zonation observed within the precious metal veins within the Curibaya project area. An analysis of vein geochemistry across the property has demonstrated concentric zonation with copper-lead-zinc zoning outward into lead +/- copper and then zinc +/- lead in the peripheral zone. This geochemical zonation is consistent with porphyry systems and the central copper-lead-zinc zone would be the primary target area at depth. In addition, the magnetic and chargeability anomalies shown on the figure could represent an intrusion or potassic alteration and sulphidation, respectively, at a depth of approximately 400 m.

John Rubino, Founder and Editor of The Dollar Collapse website, joins us to discuss the recent pullback in the commodities on more market optimism on a resolution to war between Ukraine and Russia, but how the evolving supply chains may be changing longer term for raw materials, energy, and food.

We discuss how global trade for many commodities is very unsettled at present, and these conditions are likely to persist even if there is a reduction in the Ukraine situation, long after the fact, as new alliances are forges and old supply chains are disrupted.  We also look at how record high inflation is unlikely to come down far enough to where the Fed’s monetary policies and rate hikes have much of an effect on normalizing interest rates and taming inflation.   All of these factors may be adding up to the realization of many nations of the important role mining plays in extracting raw materials and may put the mining industry in cue for more government and individual support to establish new sources of domestic supply.

Ed Moya, Senior Market Analyst at OANDA, joins us to understand the strong wave of optimism that the Ukraine tensions and talks are proceeding in a constructive manner, and how that is impacting the markets. We are seeing the commodities across the board from oil and natural gas, to gold, palladium, and other base metals continue the correction that started the end of last week on this news, and this brings up the discussion of how supply chains and trading national trading partnerships may change as a result of these recent geopolitical events.

Next we shifted over to the health of the economy with the consumers living off savings and even starting to buy on credit, and still faced with very high inflation in most prices for goods and services. We reviewed that if businesses can pass their higher input costs and rising wages for staff on to consumers then this may hit their future earnings results, further impacting calls for slowing growth. Things then shift over to a talk about the upcoming Fed rate hikes slated to start this week, and about how many hikes they guide for the balance of the year, and whether or not this is all going to have much impact on record high levels of inflation, or even if they can normalize interest rates.

Ed feels that in this volatile environment of rising rates, that the financial sector will still benefit, and that the consumer staples sector may be the defensive area of the market that many investors rotate into to ride out the remaining choppiness.

Serafino Iacono, CEO of NG Energy (TSX.V:GASX – OTC:GASXF) joins us to review the growth potential for the next 2 years for natural gas and now light oil focused in Colombia. The Company has 3 assets, 2 of which have straightforward pathways to production, Maria Conchita and SINU 9.

We start off by having Serafino outline the progress at the Maria Conchita project bringing online the Aruchara-1 Well and Istanbul-1 Well this year, ramping up from 20 million cubic feet per to 40 million cubic feet over the next year. The Company has finished installing and hooking up the 14 km pipeline to connect to the Colombia’s network. There is also the plans to bring on the new Tinka-1 Well by September, and this will contribute another 10 million cubic feet to the Maria Conchita production.

Next we shifted over to SINU 9 and outline the work planned to bring those 4 wells into production in 2022, with an initial plan of 100 million cubic feet and then expand to 200 million cubic feet per annum as more wells are drilled in 2023. We also touch on new focus on light oil, from an old historic discovery, where the exploration team will be testing the western area where the Company believes there may be close to 1 billion barrels of oil with 25% recovery, so potentially 250 – 280 million barrels of light oil, and the company will be doing some wildcat drilling to follow up on the historic results.

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of the Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to share his perspectives on being a contrarian value investor in junior mining investing, versus the more common sporadic trading approach based on sentiment and momentum. We review, once again, that despite the higher gold and silver prices, and movement in the larger cap producers and royalty companies, that most of the junior stocks are still lagging and not confirming these moves higher in the metals.

Erik contrasts some of the valuations we saw pre-discovery in previous frothy periods of speculation in junior miners, and contrasts that to the present environment we bad news is severely discounted, and even good news only produces muted responses, if any. He continues to see unrealized value in juniors across the board, but especially in those companies that are continuing to derisk projects and that are conducting meaningful work, but are not getting rewarded for it. Eloro Resources (TSX.V: ELO) is one company he highlighted as an example that just put out one of their bear drill holes to date with little reaction.

Michael Rowley, President and CEO of Group Ten Metals (TSX.V: PGE – OTCQB: PGEZF) joins us for an exploration update and big picture overview of the Company’s flagship Stillwater West project in Montana. We start off by reviewing the big moves in most metal prices recently, with a particular focus on the 2 largest metals in the resources at Stillwater West, both nickel and palladium. Based on the Maiden Resource Estimate released last October, the resource breaks down to 42% nickel, 20% palladium, 12% copper, 10% cobalt, 5% platinum, 5% rhodium, and 4% gold.

Next we shifted over to exploration progress, where a second tranche of 4 drill hole assay results were announced on March 7th, taking it up to 6 total holes released thus far from last year’s program from the 14-hole resource expansion campaign. These results were mineral rich in a number of key battery metals and PGMs, and continue to advance Stillwater West towards expanded resource estimates in three of the five deposit areas – the Chrome Mountain area at Hybrid and DR, the CZ area, and the HGR target at the Iron Mountain area. More holes will be released in 2 or 3 more tranches from last year’s program, and Mike outlines the Company well-developed plan for the next phase of drilling to begin later in 2022.

Jordan Roy-Byrne, Founder and Editor of The Daily Gold, joins us to outline why gold may not have the rally many are expecting if we don’t see a correction lower first heading into the Fed rate hiking cycle. We discuss 3 potential paths forward for the precious metals based on whether 1) gold has one more capitulative move down prior to the rate hikes, versus 2) gold continuing to channel sideways into the rate hikes, or if 3) gold could sustain and upwards trajectory and break out higher in the event inflation readings keep coming in hotter than anticipated.

Jordan reaffirms that his expectations are that inflation has mostly peaked here, so the continuation move higher in gold seems like the least likely option, but we do dig in a bit more to the scenario where if gold trends sideways into the hikes that it will likely bottom after a few hikes and then turn higher when the market starts to anticipate in advance that the Fed will be pressured to stop the rate hike cycle and reverse course. The most ideal scenario is still corrective move leading into this central bank policy change.

We wrap up with thoughts on how watching the yield curve and action in bonds will be instructive for just how much wiggle room the Fed has, but note the risks they face by starting so far behind the curve and with inflation already have run so far beyond their initial expectations.

Fred Bell, President and CEO of Elemental Royalties (TSX.V:ELE – OTCQX:ELEMF), joins us to discuss the recent hostile takeover bid received from Gold Royalty Corp (NYSE: GROY), and why the key shareholders he has talked to are not inclined to vote towards accepting the offer for a number of factors seen as inadequate. The company issues a press release on January 26th titled: “Elemental Board Of Directors Unanimously Recommends Shareholders Reject The Hostile Bid.”

We discussed that the attraction was to the Company’s pipeline of cash flowing assets which are very hard to come by in this competitive market, and that they have a great deal of growth over the next few years that has not been daylighted yet in the current valuation. Fred unpacks the two largest royalties being the Karlawinda Gold Mine Royalty operated by Capricorn Metals (ASX.:CMM), which will almost double the Company’s royalty revenue with a mine life of over 10 years, and then the key long-life Wahgnion Gold Project Royalty operated by Endeavour Mining (TSX: EDV). Fred also outlined the expected revenues to start by the second half of 2022 at the Mercedes Mine Royalty, that just changed hands from Equinox (NYSE: EQX) to Bear Creek Mining (TSX.V: BCM) and the Mt Pleasant Royalty operated by Zijin Mining (OTC: ZIJMF) that is starting to mine from their royalty concession this year.

Steve sees probabilistic short term weakness in the oil price chart, but is constructive on it getting up to triple digits medium to longer term. We discuss the better setup for a move higher in uranium relative to oil and relative to where overhead resistance levels will come in. While the uranium miners have had a big corrective move, with more potential downside in the near to medium term, Steve outlines that the miners would respond in an outsized manner to any moves higher in the spot pricing, and that longer term he is still very constructive on the whole energy sector.

Jordan Roy-Byrne, Founder and Editor of The Daily Gold, joins us to outline why he is increasingly confident gold will break down heading into the Fed rate hikes.  We discuss why this would follow historical precedent leading into prior rate-hiking cycles, and why it would be preferred to see one last wash out to provide the impetus for solid rally higher in the precious metals once the rate hike cycle get moving and then eventually the Fed reverses course.  This ties into a discussion on Jordan’s expectations that inflation has peaked and will start trending down, that the general markets may run into challenges, and that the US dollar will likely top out once the rate hiking cycle plays out.

Brien Lundin, Editor of the Gold Newsletter joins us to share his thoughts on the balance of raising capital versus drilling strategies for junior exploration companies in different types of macroeconomic environments.

We start off by discussing just how aggressive a drill play should be in raising capital in tougher markets like we have at present; and when it is better to wait for a turn in the market, and when is best to still forge ahead. Then we get Brien’s thoughts on whether he is more animated by companies that raise funds to try and make a new discovery, versus companies that raise capital to do resource expansion towards the goal of a resource estimate or economic study. We also discuss the overall health of the financing window at present for the junior mining companies.

We wrap up by outlining the why Great Bear Resources (TSX.V: GBR) (OTC: GTBAF) was such a template for a success story in junior mining from the initial discovery, to aggressive exploration expansion, to raising money at successively higher prices, to the takeover win for shareholders that freed up funds to then rotate into the next speculative exploration stories.

Craig Hemke, Founder and Editor of TF Metals Report, joins us to recap the upward trending channel he has noted in the US dollar ever since the June FOMC meeting announced policy changes, and we take a look at how the 200 day moving average has been a key level of resistance for Silver. Craig outlines what scenarios could happen that would change the trend of both charts, and also points to the correlation between a wide range of markets, mostly due to the dependence on the Fed policy in response to inflation.

Erik Wetterling, Founder of The Hedgeless Horseman joins us for a discussion on investing in new discovery plays. This conversation came up on the back of the Bell Copper news release commenting on drill core including pictures of the core. This more than doubled the stock price. 

We discuss the different stages of a discovery, from pre-discovery to follow up drill programs that continue to grow a discovery into a true asset and resource. We tie in typical stock moves that we see at each stage of the discovery and why some investors miss out on the biggest moves. On the other side of things we outline just how risky these plays are.
