Grinding through the last of my on-site Year in Preview/Review series from Vancouver (to turn around and get Toronto out right after, natch), here’s an update from Ian Fraser, CEO of Fathom Nickel (FNI.CN). Fathom remains the kind of company we should be cheering for to succeed in this sector - strong exploratory science and trustworthy leadership. As the wheels fell off the nickel market the past couple years, Fathom still managed to, if slowly, advance its Gochager nickel-cobalt project, and have developed multiple drill-ready targets. Now cashed up thanks to an oversubscribed, $4 million financing, Fathom is (as of today officially) drilling once more and seeking to discover just how big Gochager really is. Risk is high, but the reward here remains tremendous.

Another Vancouver Conference Quick Hit, this one featuring CEO Keith Bodnarchuk and Cosa Resources (COSA.V). Cosa is drilling right now on multiple high impact drill properties acquired courtesy of its JV with Uranium multi-billion dollar developer Denison Mines. I cover this one closely and am a true believer in the integrity and ability of the team. They really do feel like one of those plays that if you just let them do their thing, eventually you'll be well-rewarded for your patience.

Contango finds itself in the midst of an impressive run of news, producing record revenue on the back of $5000 gold, announcing a merger with premium high-grade silver devco Dolly Varden, and advancing multiple projects simultaneously. And with hedges and debts cleared off in the coming months, and further acquisitions in the cards, Contango looks like it is nowhere near being done yet.

Here’s one I’m tapping as a 2026 favourite. Tungsten is on a wild run with no end in sight yet, and Allied Critical Metals (ACM.CN) looks to be producing tungsten by the end of the year. Strong government support, last financing done without warrants, cheap to explore, cheap to produce, and near-term production with tungsten continuing to absolutely rip. This one checks a lot of boxes.

The first of a collection of CEO interviews I’ll be releasing from my time in Vancouver for conference season during the end of January. This one comes from a new story to JRI - Yukon-based White Gold (WGO.V). White Gold is advancing its eponymously-named flagship project which now hosts 3 million ounces of 1.5+ g/t gold. With a large drill campaign, updated resource, PEA, spinout, and additional critical metals exploration on tap or 2026, White Gold holds its fate in its own hands to drive further growth in 2026. And with an expert technical team, and strong financial and strategic backing, that’s a pretty good place to be.

Cosa continues to grow into one of my favourite stories. This is due in large part to the fact that they’ve continually modeled what I see as pre-exploration best practice - demonstrating both clear commitment and ability to making (another) major uranium discovery. With a whole host of news released in the preceding weeks - a new strategic advisor (CEO David Cates of Denison Mines) joining the team, their exploration plans for undrilled Darby, an upsized $7.5 million financing (interview was recorded prior to its announcement), and news out of their secondary properties, among others - there was much to discuss with CEO Keith Bodnarchuk. See the results of our conversation for yourself below. With winter drilling fast approaching, things look like they’re going to start getting exciting again for Cosa’s exploration team very shortly.

The second and final interview out of my time in Calgary. This one with Fathom Nickel (FNI.CN) CEO Ian Fraser. Ian catches me up on progress at their Gochager Lake nickel+ project with some pretty compelling above ground work that 1. Has opened up a trend of at least 3.5km of favourable (mineralised) host rock for high-grade zones within it and 2. That the historic Gochager deposit itself is surrounded by anomalies (across multiple data sets) that meet and exceed its own signature.

I took the trip down the #1 highway to Calgary a couple weeks back for some sit downs with a few clients and industry members. Below is one of those sit downs, an interview recorded with CEO Brodie Sutherland of Tocvan Ventures. Good news continues to flow out of Tocvan’s Gran Pilar gold project in Sonora, Mexico - newly-discovered zones, historical workings, positive geochem and aeromag results, warrants exercising, positive permitting developments, and aggressive future drilling plans (some 15,000-20,000m before end of 2026). It takes news flow to get noticed in this industry, and Tocvan promises to deliver a lot of it over the next 12-18 months. Add in gold doing what it’s been doing (trading sideways at $4000 of all prices currently) and that’s a pretty powerful combination.

Here’s an October update from Contango Ore (CTGO.NYSE). Contango continues to produce high-grade, high-margin gold alongside gold’s historic march to over $4000. CEO Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse joins me to discuss numerous topics - shifting mine plans, debt payments, future plans, and why his company opted to go to the market for more cash despite their healthy revenue this year. CTGO continues to shed itself of its remaining debts and hedges as quickly as possible while still advancing both Lucky Shot and Johnson Tract to short term production. With spot at these unprecedented levels, the time to move is now, and Contango is moving aggressively forward.

Thesis Gold’s significant upward movement this year (+236% ytd) still hasn’t brought it to fair value by my estimation, as I demonstrated in my recent infographic. With the first 3 holes now back from the ongoing 2025 drill campaign, including a headline hole of 89.3m of 1.1 g/t Au (and ending in mineralisation) and a PFS at significantly higher spot prices due imminently, Thesis looks poised to further ride this unprecedented wave as gold continues to sharply rerate.

Kodiak Copper is in the middle of a critical milestone, having released part one of their maiden resource for their MPD project (with part two due before end of year). Including inferred tonnes, the resource for the first 4 zones reported is nearly 300Mt of 0.35% CuEq. The remaining three zones will be reported before the end of the year. With peer valuation comps favourable to Kodiak and copper pushing steadily higher, the timing appears good for Kodiak investors.

Here's a quick video of me just walking through a few ideas I have regarding my gold developers peer comparison infographic. This infographic compares four Canadian gold companies at different stages of the development pathway. Thesis Gold and Probe Gold both have imminent PFSes, Skeena Gold & Silver has a funded DFS, and finally Artemis Gold, who is swinging into full-scale production. I have worked to better allow for 1:1 comparisons of NPV, IRR, etc. by standardising technical report sensitivity variables (exchange rate, spot price(s), etc.) between the individual base cases. This serves to increase both the breadth (by comparing across companies) and depth (by projecting a single company’s rerating potential over time) of understanding of these projects for the investor. ‪@thesisgold1473‬ ‪@artemisgoldinc‬ ‪@skeenagoldsilver‬ Probe Gold

This is a big day for Arizona Gold and Silver. After months and indeed years of build-up, Arizona looks like it is finally, excitingly, be positively confirming the significant blue sky potential management has believed in all along at its Philadelphia project in Arizona. This is because AZS has finally hit the interpreted epithermal boiling zone lurking beneath its Red Hills target. And initial results are excellent, with every indication that they're going to get even better as drilling progresses. The headline numbers - 9.5 gpt AuEq over 20.43 meters (64% tw) are impressive. That this is the top of zone and AZS believes it will extend some 500-600m in total depth, with grade increasing along the way, makes for an even more tantalising scenario. That a clast of ultra high-grade - 45 gpt of Au vein - was found in the breccia higher up clearly supports this idea that with depth will come even better grade. Excellent results here have opened up a whole new path of potential for Arizona. This boiling zone has the depth, grade, and strike length (not to mention epithermal veins over 25m thick - to be a major discovery. And that's pretty darn exciting.

I will get Roy on for a long-form deep dive soon, but in the meantime, recent news demanded I get him on fast to talk about it. That’s because Allied Critical Metals (ACM.CN) released what looks to be - without hyperbole - one of the best pubco tungsten hits ever recorded at its Borrallha brownfield (re)development project. 12m of 4.27% wolframite (or 6m of 8.39%) is quite literally nearly an order of magnitude higher than typical high grade tungsten. Wolframite tungsten is remarkably cheap, easy, and safe to extract and refine. Indeed, Borrallha is estimated to be just CAD $10 million and 6-9 months from pilot production once financing is secured. And the timing couldn’t be better, with Tungsten at multi-decade highs thanks to increasing geopolitical tensions. With strong news flow expected to the end of the year, including more imminent drill results (including visually-similar rock to the above remarkable assay), a resource estimate and new PEA (which will be including this drill campaign), and pilot production still expected in 2026, now is a very good time indeed to be following this company.

Cosa Resources significantly and rapidly advanced its Murphy Lake North project based on the recently-announced results of their summer drill campaign. Not every drill campaign ends in discovery, but every discovery comes from the efforts of multiple drill campaigns, all of them building together to achieve the necessary critical mass of subsurface understanding to drive a new discovery. So while Cosa doesn’t have a discovery to show for this program, as you will see below, they have remarkably compelling evidence that that might change soon enough with a bit more time and effort. That’s because the level of success they found in their very first few holes into their never-before-drilled Cyclone Trend is both rare and rapid. Not many projects ever show this much promise. Very few display it so early. CEO Keith Bodnarchuk joins me again to walk me through this news release and what exactly has Cosa so excited. And, frankly, me for that matter, too.

More news out of Founders Metals recently. Drilling around their flagship Upper Antino discovery has critically expanded areas of known mineralisation along strike, laterally, and at depth. With ~30,000 meters left to be drilled and released this year, and the weather cooperating for farther afield high grade discoveries to be easily returned to for further drilling, Founders looks like it has what it takes to end the year strong. CEO Colin Padget sits down with me once more for another frank conversation to discuss these results and also to address shareholder concerns regarding recent negative share price movement and perceived issues behind it.

This is a big development for Tocvan. One that has been years in the making. Tocvan's stated goal has always been to push to early stage proof of concept production, betting that their jurisdictional advantages (in Sonora, Mexico - pro mining, very cheap, many neighbouring peers) would allow them to accelerate the timeline to production. Then, of course, Mexico gained some perceived jurisdictional risk due to government rhetoric regarding mining reform, which dampened the market's enthusiasm for Tocvan's plan. Not that Tocvan ever stopped exploring and advancing its Pilar project, mind you. But as of this morning, those concerns are officially put to rest. This is because Tocvan has now received every permit required for its pilot production plant and extensive further exploration across its entire property. With these now in place, Tocvan can finally begin its plan, a plan that will see remarkable growth take place in the next 12-24 months if they can execute successfully. And I believe they will.

07:00 What is your short order, high priority goal for this campaign?

08:45 How has the transition from academia and government to market geology been?

With summer exploration season upon us and another big drill campaign coming for Thesis Gold, I thought this would be a good time to publish a brief sit down I had with Thesis Gold's new(ish) Chief Geologist, Dr. Evan Orovan. Thesis Gold's Lawyers-Ranch project is tantalising - a long list of potential further discoveries, with targets all over the property, all separate from and in addition to the existing 4 million M+I deposit already proven up here. And that's without taking into consideration the chance for a porphyry discovery underlying the whole system, a theory which was demonstrated by Amarc Resource's impressive recent discovery. So it is in this space - a large, powerful resource already on the books, but with the potential for entirely new (and even new types) of discoveries that Evan joins Thesis and the Lawyers-Ranch project with the hopes of driving further exploration-led growth. And he has a resume (and CV) that should make you excited about that potential: A PhD in economic geology, an expert understanding of a wide array or tool and techniques that can drive discovery, years of government experience and intimate knowledge of BC's geological potential, and, now, a project of his own - and the budget needed - to bring to bear his ideas. Evan is an obviously sharp and intelligent thinker, and valuable addition to the team. Should his clear expertise prove up further discovery, up to and including the potential for their own porphyry, Thesis could be a fundamentally different company in not much time.

Cosa Resources is a junior uranium explorer operating on the eastern edge of Saskatchewan's prolific Athabasca Basin. A shrewd deal with Denison Mines has recently given Cosa a 70% option on some of the premium unexplored targets left in the region. Now with 4 holes from last winter helping them vector in, Cosa has returned to the high potential Murphy Lake North property for an 8 hole, 3000m program to search again for their elusive discovery hole. Just 2km along trend from one of the most impressive uranium discoveries of all time - the Hurricane Discovery - which the Cosa team played an instrumental role in, there are lots of reasons to get excited. Currently drilling and potentially just weeks away from results, Cosa is approaching a potential hingepoint in its existence, and something investors should be watching closely.

Tickers AZS.V and AZASF. I sat down with CEO Mike Stark for a brief news update. Since we last spoke, the company has released a couple sets of results from their ongoing drill campaign at their Philadelphia project, acquired land for a future heap leach pad, and have announced some $3.2 million in the bank in part courtesy of significant insider option exercising. AZS is still drilling as it builds towards its maiden resource within the next 12 months or so. And with the rig imminent at BLM Pad 2, they have a chance to fully and properly prove their “boiling zone under the Red Hills” geological model correct (after teasing it with hole 136) and add some critical high-grade ounces to their project. Mike and I chat about all this, the market response to their results, the importance of the leach pad land acquisition, insider support, and more.

This is one I’ve followed for a while, including a couple of paid sub notes on them. The similarities (and therefore immediate allure) to another company I follow closely (Founders Metals) make for an awfully compelling narrative here. Consider the obvious parallels: Location of Sela Creek (and Nassau) are in south/eastern Suriname, orogenic gold in the Guiana Shield, leveraging preexisting artisanal prospecting and mining as exploration tools, using similar geophysical tools and strategies, smart younger team. The valuation is rich ($75 million mc for a pre-discovery, pre-assay - for now - explorer) but clearly demonstrates the respect the market is giving Guiana Shield exploration. In truth, the valuation bedevils me. $75 million market cap without an assay in hand. Now all that’s left to do is prove the compelling narrative can be meaningfully converted into a compelling discovery.

In this conversation, Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse, CEO of Contango Ore, discusses the company's recent cash distribution, tonnage delivery improvements, and financial strategies amidst a turbulent macroeconomic environment. He highlights the significance of exceeding production guidance and the company's plans for accelerated debt management. Key Points: 1. Contango Ore has reported a significant cash distribution of $24 million. The company is producing 30% more gold (19,500oz vs 15-18,000oz guidance). 2. Bridge weight restrictions will also be solved via funding approvals for repairs now in place. 3. At current prices, the company forecasts over $80 million and could be debt free by EOY. 4. A PEA for the Johnson Tract project is expected soon, indicating future growth opportunities. titles

Back again with Founders Metals (FDR.V). They’re officially north of $6 CAD these days, breaking through ATHs alongside gold. And well-deserved considering the news they’re releasing. 72m of 2.29 gpt Au extending Van Gogh to depths of 200m, after opening it up with 28.5 of 7.12 g/t from 18.6m down. This is yet another major discovery for Founders, and even more excitingly, the first brand new discovery, without historical workings or exploration to guide them. This certainly bodes well not just for Founders’ mastery of Antino, but the sheer size of the potential on display down here as well. I also do a little math based on Agentis work to rank Founders’ Antino project globally.

Tocvan Ventures (TOC.CN) is moving again. With the drill turning, they are starting to receive positive results from the lab that certainly appear to confirm management’s belief in their Gran Pilar project. Strong gold mineralisation has been intersected in the first-ever handful of holes drilled outside the Main Zone, expanding the known orebody some 100-200m to the north. In addition, infill drilling along a separate, parallel, zone also came back unexpectedly positive. With drilling ongoing, it’s certainly exciting times for Tocvan. CEO Brodie Sutherland joins me again to chat drill results, assay reporting methodology, and bulk sample plans in a quick exploration update.

A new company to JRI - Oroco Resource Corp is a copper porphyry developer operating in Sinaloa, Mexico. With 6 billion pounds of payable copper (including inferred), OCO’s Santo Tomas project is no small thing, and with a tiny 1.38:1 strip ratio, strong metallurgy, and solid economics, there’s a lot to like with Oroco. However, Oroco has taken on some chart damage from its dizzying highs a few years back, and Mexican jurisdictional concerns more recently (cartel violence in Sinaloa and potential federal open pit restrictions) have only added to the downward pressure. President Ian Graham joins me to discuss Santo Tomas, and how Oroco plans to get back up off the mat to make sure Santo Tomas meets with a happy M&A ending.

Bought deals, big board members, and bonanza grades - 2024 has been a heck of a year for Founders Metals (FDR.V). So despite all its successes, you might wonder why yesterday’s news release - 81.9m of 1.01 gpt au - managed to goose the share price some 12%. Colin joins me to provide some context on why these results are such a big deal to what is already an exciting story.

I have on Cassiar Gold Corp for the first time. If you’ve been active in this space the past few years, there’s a good chance you have come across this one. They burst onto the scene with new management and a new land package just in time for the mini-bull run from 3 or so years ago. However, like many in the junior explorer sector, good work has fallen on deaf ears the past few years. CEO Marco Roque joins me to discuss Cassiar and why it remains on track to successfully discover, expand, and sell a major resource.

Building off my previous conversation with CEO Mike Stark, this news update from Arizona Gold discusses how they opened a $3 million financing on Sept. 18 and closed it for $4.6 million on Oct. 3, with Sprott and Rick Rule along for the ride. That impressive show of market interest now gives Arizona an enviable amount of runway to explore its Red Hills target, the long-suspected source of all their mineralisation to date discovered at their Philadelphia project - for the first time ever.

Prismo Metals have officially begun drilling their Palos Verdes project immediately adjacent to Vizsla Silver’s Panuco project. With 3000 meters budgeted, this drill campaign will test the property at depth and along strike in ways it has never been before. Success with this campaign will very materially grow any future resource in this very high-grade silver-gold district. With Vizsla as a formal partner offering technical expertise and guidance - including allowing Prismo to drill from its land to target at depth properly - this is a pretty exciting drill campaign which I also believe has a pretty high likelihood of success.

Thesis Gold (TAU.V) has had a pretty good run over the past month or so since my site visit, rising some 60% from 60 cents to $0.95. Obviously someone has caught wind of the deep value imbalance that was (and still is, though not quite so extreme) here. A big part of this no doubt was the updated PEA Thesis put out a couple weeks ago that formally united Lawyers and Ranch and demonstrated some pretty compelling numbers. Below is my conversation I had with CEO Ewan Webster about that PEA, as well as the TAU’s future.

Sometimes, timing is everything.

Arizona's Philadelphia Property is a gold and silver vein/disseminated target located in Arizona in the Oatman Mining District (which historically produced over 2 million ounces of high-grade vein gold). Under Mike Stark as CEO, AZS has continued to efficiently and effectively advance a meaningful, though still unofficial, resource at this project. However, while successful, for the past couple years, that effort has been partly on pause while BLM permitting on surrounding land to previous drill campaigns was worked on. This is critical to AZS, because they (very reasonably) believe the Red Hill target on that BLM land to be the source dome of their disseminated gold. So while Arizona could continue to drill out other worthy targets, the ultimate prize required more involved permitting to be secured. Fair or not, Arizona has flagged while waiting for Again, which, finally, has been done. Mike Stark of Arizona Silver walks us through why his company’s Philadelphia property is an odds-on favourite to grow an impressive resource through continual discovery of open-pittable high-grade Ag/Au veins surrounded by a low-grade, economic, mineralization. A valid geological thesis suggests the best parts of the land package have yet to be drilled, a catalyst to look forward to in 2023.

Companion Article and Written Summary:

Managing Director of iTech Michael Schwarz joins me today to provide an update on iTech's Lacroma Project. The project hit a rough spot a few months back with some questionable drill results as graphite sentiment bottomed out. However, as Mike demonstrates, iTech has found success enough to overcome those weaker results, and that their initial plans and goals remain on target. After a brief recap of iTech so far, Mike uses a 3D leapfrog model to walk us through his Lacroma drill results and points us to the fact that they will likely hit their 40Mt goal from this drill campaign. Mike then takes us further, walking us through their confidence in becoming a lowest-quartile cost producer, as well as the potential for future discoveries, ending with a discussion on how iTech plans to become a producer itself and the costs associated to get its own modular plant. I believe strongly that graphite is in the pendulum downswing overreaction any good contrarian investor needs. Graphite's needs in a green future are inescapable. Project's like iTech's Lacroma - cheap, strong jurisdiction, and low-carbon output - are exactly what the industry needs.

I sat down with base metals analyst Connor Mackay of Pi Financial to discuss @fireweedmetals. Connor covers Fireweed and I took this opportunity to pick his brain and have him show his work a little bit on the process and logic behind his work. Fireweed is a best-in-class asset that, because of this status, makes it a bit of a trick to properly place a dollar value on as it is without a true peer. However, its inherent and strategic value is impossible to ignore and as Fireweed continues to prove up discovery after discovery and progress through economic studies, you have to think that eventually a sort of critical mass will be achieved and its true value will be more properly reflected in its market cap and share price.

Recent drill results out of Founders Upper Antino project have served to redefine the potential of it. Strong drill results have become the norm for Founders, and these last few batches of results are no different. But it is not so much what has been found, but where, that is so critical to how this story is (positively) unfolding recently. What was initially thought to be a low-grade, bulk tonnage target at Donut has revealed long runs of high-grade gold within it instead, while Froyo has been both significantly deepened and widened, and is beginning to suspiciously look like an open-pittable future deposit. These are massively positive developments on the front of scope, scale, and economics that look to bolster an already impressive project.

I sat down with Fireweed Metals (FWZ.V) CEO Brandon Macdonald for a far-reaching discussion on Thursday, December 22. Building off implied general knowledge of Fireweed, the focus of this conversation was not so much meant to be an overview of the company as it was an opportunity to dig deeper into specific topics and concepts related to it. Brandon reflects on his own time as CEO of FWZ, the strength of his team and its teamwork, the importance of geological originality and expertise, infrastructure developments related to mining in Yukon, and more.

Sendero Resources (SEND.V) has mobilised its drill rig and is just weeks away from its mid-January inaugural 4500m drill campaign on its Peñas Negras project. Staked before The Lundins made the surrounding Vicuña copper porphyry belt world famous and historically almost entirely undrilled, Sendero has a rare real shot at a potentially massive discovery over the next couple months. Executive Chairman Michael Wood joins me to discuss some of the details that makes this high-risk, high-reward opportunity uniquely powerful.

Sometimes it is just obvious that a project will eventually become a mine. Abra Silver's Diablillos project is one of these. High grade, shallow, ongoing expansion, and new discoveries still lurking - it has all the trademark characteristics of a successfully exploited deposit. Even from such a strong foundation, Abra Silver improved in a material way from their recent MRE. Ignoring the resource growth, increased grade, and exciting new JAC zone being added to the mine plan for the first time, the part that caught my eye was the impressive improvements at silver recovery - improving a full 11% or more from ~73%-~84%. Their newly refined block model has also allowed Abra to better delineate their high quality ore. With a PFS due by PDAC, I am sure that it is going to have some very impressive numbers in it. This is one of those plays where, sure, you've missed out on the share price multiples that happens along the way to become such a powerful deposit, but it is very high confidence to still net you market-beating returns whenever the inevitable M&A transaction occurs, and will doubtless be a star if and when the bulls return.

Interview Transcript: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1H...

Overview: Scott Macmillan stopped by for another live conversation built around investor questions. Invictus is currently drilling out the sidetrack on the M-2 well in search of an agonisingly-elusive fluid sample to confirm discovery and allow Invictus to declare net pay etc. While the road thus far has been rocky, the destination remains as bright as ever. Scott shares openly on challenges and lessons learned so far during exploration, the potential Invictus' land holds, and his vision for the future after what appears to be imminent, successful, discovery announcements. No one ever accused frontier wildcat drilling of being easy, but the potential for blue sky valuation remains as compelling as ever.

CEO Ian Fraser sat down with me again to discuss the results from Fathom's 2023 drill campaign on its Gochager Lake project. The market responded with disappointment as it was expecting ultra high-grade (and this market is swift to punish these days), but I believe there remains a lot of positives to be found in this campaign. Most importantly, it doesn't shut the door on Gochager's potential, but rather has provided Fathom with more critical data points to finetune their exploration process. Mineral exploration is a deeply iterative process, and Ian demonstrates that mindset well in this interview. Ian discusses important additions to his dataset garnered from this campaign: 1. They are increasing their understanding of the fault system that intersected the ultra high-grade mineralisation they drilled this past spring. This will allow them to chase that high grade along the footwall during their next Gochager drill campaign. 2. Ian also discussed that the directional trend of the zone was more straight north than they had anticipated. With the high-grade zone of these steep, vertical lenses just a couple hundred meters in length, missing even by a few dozen meters means you've missed by a lot. 3. BHEM has again been used effectively to identify and fine-tune targets off-hole, giving Fathom confidence that there remains high-grade zones lurking at Gochager waiting to be found. 4. Geochem work continues to be cross-referenced with their geophys and BHEM work. This again creates narrower, more specific understandings of what they are looking at - and looking for. In my thoughts, the market is punishing Fathom for two things primarily, unrelated to the actual drill results: 1. Needing money 2. No more news flow for a few months Add on the merciless nature of this market where anything less than exceptional results gets crushed, and the market response comes into focus. But the future remains remarkably bright for Fathom. Now they just need to raise money and get after it once more.

Time Stamps:

01:30 Ian Discusses How Results Matched his Expectations, including any surprised good, bad, or indifferent.

05:46 Discussion of how these results still confirm Fathom's working model, with more potential at depth

09:51 Discussion of the two extremes - large bands of low-grade mineralisation, and small, ultra-high grade vein intersects, and what that means for their exploration model. 16:28 The significance of those veins, chasing deeper, winter drill campaign plans

20:24 Importance of BHEM and Fathom's continued, growing master of this land. Further targets have already been identified.

One of my favourite companies came back on the show. CEO Ian Fraser of Fathom Nickel joined me to do a deep dive into the geological model of their Albert Lake and Gochager Lake projects in northern Saskatchewan. Geology is obviously a critical part of every exploration story, but the exhaustive, authoritative, level of knowledge and detail Ian and Fathom have developed on these projects has allowed them to attain a level of mastery that is exceedingly rare for a company at this stage of exploration. Which is why it is one of my favourite companies currently, and why “setting the table” geologically for current and future investors is so important.

CEO Greg Beischer Explains why his Nikolai Nickel Project is a Must Have for the United States. Alaska Energy Metals Corp is not playing it slow. They have plans for an aggressive, multi-drill approach as they seek high-confidence confirmation of historical work, and have an ultimate resource growth target of reaching multiple billions of pounds of in situ 0.35% NiEq within 18 months. Greg discusses the advantages of Nikolai - huge, simple, predictable, and crucially sweetened by a polymet kicker that will help boost project economics. Jurisdictionally, the United States has a stark absence of nickel production, a fact Greg believes will play a key role in this project moving forward successfully. There are also high-grade opportunities at the nearby Canwell project to hopefully find enough ore to be able to meaningfully improve mine economics.

Troilus Gold is a very brownfield developer that has 8m+ Oz AuEq with great economics and a lot of reasons to believe the sting of inflation can be reduced in their upcoming FS, the first economic study since 2020. Also 260,000m of drilling is being put into an updated MRE that is just weeks away. I’ve only been following this one for a little while now, but so far I like what I see quite a bit. Large, bulk-tonnage, low-grade (but not too low) gold in Quebec with lots of preexisting infrastructure. All the big, headline, items clock in really cleanly with Troilus.

Brian Skanderbeg of GFG Resources (GFG.V) joins me to discuss his company and its strategy of value creation through identifying and acquiring underexplored regions of the world-famous Timmins Mining Camp. Brian and the executive team at GFG have a strong history together, having steered the revitalisation (through new discovery) and ultimate takeout of Claude Resources at USD $337M valuation during their last time together. Brian discusses with me the strengths of his team and their dedication to exploring for the next discovery in Timmins. Brian discusses how he and his team believes in methodical, data-driven modeling and exploration, which has resulted in backing from important investors such Alamos Gold and the Lundins. GFG continues to explore its Montclerg target with the thesis that shallow till cover has prevented historical exploration from understanding its true potential. With 6000 more meters of drilling imminent this month and more to come in Q1 of 2024, investors can expect a steady stream of drill results from GFG over the next 6+ months.

It’s a tough resource market right now, with a lot of downward-pressured chop for most companies and a bleak prevailing mood. But this market hasn’t been totally ruthless - big time projects are still being rewarded big time. Here to break up the doldrums and despair a bit is a panel of recent winners to talk about their wins, how they came about, and lessons learned for investors hunting for the next one. Though none of these guys really need an introduction if you follow the industry, joining me are: Chris Taylor. Current chair of Kodiak Resources (KDK.V) and former CEO of the famous Great Bear Resources which was sold pre-economics to Kinross for CAD$1.8B. One of my old favourites and one I did well on. Scott Berdahl. Current CEO of Snowline Gold Corp (SGD.V). If you’re in the sector and have a pulse you know this one. Up 75% over the past 12 months. 2.5 years ago it was trading for less than 20 cents. Now it trades around $5. Not bad. I guess. Brandon Macdonald. Current CEO of Fireweed Metals Corp. Another exciting winner that just keeps building off its success as positive news keeps coming from all angles for it (M&A, exploration, and partnerships). Currently up 165% over the past 12 months

No one invests in the junior mining sector to match the index. The whole allure of the sector is its high-risk, high-reward nature, and how building a foundation of knowledge can tip the scales in your favour. The ultimate, logical, conclusion of that line of thinking is investing in the pre-discovery explorer. Penthouse or outhouse plays where the outcome is as binary as it gets in the market. This is where you go to make fortunes that can only be created by successfully picking pre-discovery plays. But you need the industry knowledge and expertise to make it happen. Companies Attending: GFG Resources (GFG.V) Kiboko Gold (KIB.V) Northern Shield Resources (NRN.V) Thunder Gold (TGOL.V)

Rob McEwen is of course one of the biggest names in mining. He has a record that combines success and pursuit of mining best practices in a way that is unique among his peers. McEwen Mining (MUX.TO) in effect is two different metal companies come together - a collection of smaller-but-producing gold mines and a huge, world-class, copper project at the PEA level.

The gold mines are theoretically meant to aid in funding the development of the Los Azules copper project to minimise dilution. However, it has recently not worked out that way. Cost overruns have eroded profit margins, and MUX is in the process of bringing them under control, as Rob discusses with me.

Gold mine production aside, the Los Azules project really needs no help standing on its own. World-leading tonnage - to the tune of over 10 billion pounds of indicated Cu, and nearly triple that (26.7 B lbs) in the inferred category. Extremely cheap cost-per-pound. Good jurisdiction. This one is an obvious winner.

But Los Azules is so much more than that. Rob has a vision for what the mining industry needs to be, and is working to realise it with Los Azules. Green energy power plants, electrified mining, carbon neutral, environmentally friendly extraction (and without toxic byproduct, low water usage, integrated community infrastructure projects, education initiatives, the list goes on. Rob is trying to create a model for an essential industry with a lot of baggage in some communities.

Rob joins me to discuss all this, his company, and offers thoughts and advice to listeners on how to navigate the difficult waters of resource exploration companies.

Dolly Varden Silver (DV.V; DOLLF; DVQ1) I am glad to have Shawn Khunkhun back on my show to discuss the last 12 months and the next 12 months for Dolly Varden Silver (DV.V). Dolly's past 12 months have been extremely strong, with lots of exciting discoveries and subsequent price appreciation, and point to a bright 12+ months to come as well, with more and more targets being confirmed for exploration. Dolly Varden is in that sweet spot where it still has room to run on the back of continued exploration success but has enough geological understanding and discoveries behind it for it to have real odds of success, rather than a snape hunt.

This is one I am excited for. Ewan Downie of i-80 Gold joins me. If you follow this sector closely at all, you will likely already know i-80 Gold. They’re a bit of an industry darling. And deservedly so - they have a great team, operate in the best jurisdiction in the world, possess rare, critical, game-changing infrastructure, and proof-of-concept production has already begun setting an ambitious mine plan in motion. Oh, and did I mention nearly 15 million ounces of gold? The man who heads this project, Ewan Downie, is in the same category as his company: If you don’t know who they are, you should. Ewan brings with him a string of wins in the form of operating mines as his work experience. No small feat in this sector. He is a strong and articulate advocate for the mining industry and when he speaks people listen. Ewan was gracious enough to sit down with me for a lengthy, far-reaching interview that covers i-80 and its unique set of advantages, but also the overarching philosophy behind him and his company, as well as a strong discussion on what it takes to be a successful investor in this sector.
