    In this Daily Editorial, we are joined by Joel Elconin, Co-Host of the PreMarket Prep Show and Founder of the Stock Trader Network, to unpack the market volatility the last couple days after the Federal Reserve hiked rates by 25 basis points this week.  We also dive into the continued winners and losers, as the artificial intelligence infrastructure build out presses on.   US Market Volatility: An analysis of which broad market sectors are more immune and which are more sensitive to rising interest rates. Rate Sensitive Sectors: Joel highlights recent weakness leading up to this rate hike in consumer staples, utilities, and transportation.  He noted JB Hunt Transport (Nasdaq: JBHT) as a company slipping on the macro news. Macro Headwinds and Rising Yields: Potential economic effects of the 10-year Treasury yield approaching 5%, the mounting pressure bond vigilantes are placing on Federal Reserve policy, and the continued decline in (Nasdaq:TLT) highlighting the ongoing weakness in long-duration bonds. Hardware versus Software Rotation: There has been a revolving rotation from hardware and software with big moves in both directions over the course of this year.  Joel points out that hardware appears to have rallied of the “Leo-bottom” but that some companies like Micron (Nasdaq: MU), Broadcom (Nasdaq: AVGO), and Nvidia (Nasdaq: NVDA) still look cheap after recent Q2 earnings reports and forward guidance. The A.I. Trade Marches On: Despite all the recent industry warnings about the risks of A.I., and pushback from investors on the massive capex numbers for the buildout of datacenters, many companies are still benefiting by the circulation and capital spend. Joel highlights the potential future knock-on effects of the AI buildout that may boost companies like Generac (NYSE: GNRC), Eaton (NYSE: ETN), and Quanta Services (NYSE: PWR). Not all companies tied to A.I. are winning though, as highlighted by the multi-month sell-down in Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) on concerns of high debt loads.   Click here to visit Joel's PreMarket Prep website – https://www.premarketprep.com/   Click here to visit the Stock Trader Network – https://www.stocktradernetwork.com/       For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substack reports:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

    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:   FireFox Gold Corp. (TSX.V:FFOX)(OTCQB:FFOXF) – On September 14, 2026, the Company reported assay results from seven additional drill holes completed at its 100%-owned Mustajärvi Gold Project in Lapland, Finland. Most of these holes were drilled well to the southwest from the recent focus at the East Zone, including one hole (26MJ030) that is the first of a two-hole fence testing the western strike extension of the Northeast Zone. The drill also returned to the Central Zone, which has seen only sporadic drilling in recent years, with three holes on the western side of that lode. This round of results also includes three holes into the gap between the Central and Northeast Zones.   * This interview was recorded on Tuesday morning, and then on Wednesday morning Firefox released another exploration result that further animated the marketplace: On September 16, 2026, FireFox Gold announced the discovery of the "Lammas Zone" at its 100%-owned Mustajärvi Gold Project in Lapland, Finland. Lammas is a newly recognized high-grade gold-mineralized zone that is nearly a kilometre east of the main Mustajärvi Shear Zone (MSZ). The discovery drill hole, 26MJ032, intersected several gold-mineralized intervals, highlighted by: 21.0m averaging 4.13 g/t gold from 114.0m depth, including 1.0m at 21.6 g/t gold, and; 4.2m averaging 3.41 g/t gold from 138.0 metres depth   ** Cory will be hosting a webinar with Patrick Highsmith, Chairman of FireFox Gold, this Friday September 18th at 9:00am (Pacific Time).   Click on the link below to register for this webinar: https://event.webinarjam.com/gykm4/register/rg6k1hvm   Red Canyon Resources Ltd. (CSE: REDC | OTCQB: REDRF | Frankfurt: I91) – On September 14, the Company announced the completion of its auger drilling and expanded soil geochemistry programs at its 100% owned Osiris Copper-Gold Project in central British Columbia.   The Company completed 31 truck-mounted auger drill holes testing areas at the Camp, Twin Peaks, Rhino, and Nautilus targets, all under glacial till cover. In most cases, auger drill holes were able to penetrate up to 15 cm into the bedrock and recover chip samples.   Importantly, two holes at the northern end of Nautilus drilled into altered hornblende porphyry, one of which intersected quartz veining with pyrite and chalcopyrite.   Irving Resources Inc. (CSE:IRV)(OTCQX:IRVRF)(FSE:1IR) - On September 14, the Company announced that its aggressive 2026 4-rig drill program at its Omu gold-silver project is underway. One diamond drill rig, Irving's own Zinex A5, is currently testing shallow silica-rich gold-silver mineralization at the Nanko target, part of the Omui mining license. Two diamond drill rigs are testing mineralization that is part of the JX/Irving collaboration within the Honpi mineralized zone of the Omui mining license. A fourth diamond drill is actively drilling extensions of the Omu Sinter deposit. Highlights of the 2026 drill program are as follows: Holes recently completed at Nanko have all encountered extensive shallow, intensely silicified volcanic rocks and hydrothermal breccias and veining. Sulfide minerals are readily evident where rocks are unoxidized. Irving believes a large volume of gold-silver-bearing silica is potentially present at Nanko. This season's drill program is designed to outline the footprint of this system. Drilling at Nanko is immediately south of the area defined at Omui that is subject to an option by JX Advanced Metals Corporation. Two holes are currently being drilled in the JX/Irving collaboration area at Omui. These holes are follow-up to previous drilling which tested silicification and mineralization at shallow depths. Drilling of these holes has just recently begun but are already showing hydrothermal breccias and veining.       Click here to follow Erik's analysis over at The Hedgeless Horseman website   * In full disclosure, some companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and they may also be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.         For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substack reports:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

    Sean Brodrick – FED Rate Hike Turbulence, Oil Spiking On Geopolitical Flare Ups, Slowing AI Trade Based On Industry Concerns, and Precious Metals Pullback

    Play Episode Listen Later Sep 16, 2026 20:49


    [Recorded:  09-15-2026]  Sean Brodrick, Editor of Wealth Megatrends, Supercycle Investor, Resource Trader, and contributing analyst to Weiss Ratings Daily, joins me for a wide-ranging discussion diving into the market volatility across multiple resource and general equity sectors in the current macroeconomic and geopolitical environment. He shares how he is managing his portfolio as it relates to oil and oil stocks, AI stocks, cybersecurity stocks, and gold stocks.     We start off discussing the potential macro and market impacts of the first Fed funds rate hike by the US central bank in a few years. While the market had ascribed over a 90% chance of a 25-basis-point hike, through yesterday (when we talked), Sean looks ahead to what that actually means or may achieve for fighting persistently high inflation into the future. Higher rates could negatively affect the housing industry, auto loans, business loans, and slow growth to some degree. Market participants have already been selling bonds, and driving interest rates higher in anticipation of a higher Fed funds rate, along with pushing back on US fiscal policies. There is a “family feud” going on between Kevin Warsh and the Fed working to hike rates on the short end of the yield curve, and Scott Bessent and the US Treasury actively working lower rates on the long end of the yield curve. Sean makes the point that even if the Fed hikes interest rates once, or even a few times, it is not really going to change the fundamental oil supply from the Middle East or tame that inflation input as a result of rising energy prices.   We then shifted our focus over to the surge higher to triple-digit oil prices, on the back of deepening conflict across the Middle East. Sean outlined how technical price projections on longer-term charts could allow for a brief spike in WTI up to $150 a barrel. Sean is very comfortable holding onto his oil stocks for now, as they should have a very profitable Q3 on the back of solid Q2 earnings.   Next, we unpacked some of the recent slowdown in AI stocks and the pace of advancement, as a few vocal industry participants expressed concerns of losing control of artificial intelligence. Sean highlights that while these concerns are valid, that it has ballooned up into a bigger deal than many were expecting over the last couple weeks. It may be that real motivation to pump the breaks on the pace of A.I. is because the industry would like to see more government regulation that would discourage cheaper open-source foreign platforms from being adopted domestically. He highlights the potential opportunity that restricting or securing against AI threats may present to cybersecurity companies like Palo Alto Networks (Nasdaq: PANW) or CrowdStrike Holdings (Nasdaq: CRWD)   Wrapping up, Sean shared his outlook on what fundamentals are driving gold, silver, and the PM stocks down over the last few weeks. In addition to more hawkish statements from Kevin Warsh during the Jackson Hole banking symposium a few weeks ago, Sean points out that it was really the higher inflation readings recently that back-stopped the decision for the Fed raise rates. He remains cautious that short-term economic data around inflation and a stronger US dollar could still trigger some more near-term selling pressure, but he also shares the reasons why he believes this move in the precious metals complex could have legs to begin the next run higher in the medium term.  Sean is still mostly animated by revenue-generating gold and silver producers, and will be scanning across the field of companies at the upcoming Beaver Creek Precious Metals Summit for new ideas to report on moving forwards.     Click here to follow along with Sean's work at Weiss Ratings Daily and Wealth Megatrends .

    Goliath Resources – Drill Assays Return More High-Grade Gold and New Zone Of Bulk Tonnage Mineralization

    Roger Rosmus, Founder, CEO, & Director of Goliath Resources Ltd (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQX: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF), joins me for another exploration update at their Surebet Discovery on the Golddigger Property; located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.  We review a series of news releases from mid-August through early September which highlight more high-grade gold drill assays returned when stepping out from the Bonanza and Golden Gate Zones.   A new zone of bulk-tonnage mineralization has also been identified between those 2 larger zones. The fully funded 2026 drill program at the Surebet is targeting ~90 planned holes and approximately 50,000 meters of systematic drilling, including 7 drill rigs targeting expansion of the known gold mineralization both laterally and at depth.  This year the team at Goliath elected to really test the geological model; focusing on big step-out drilling to expand the deposit footprint, and all holes reported thus far have encountered mineralization, significantly growing the overall deposit.   We started off discussing the drill holes coming back that continue to delineate high-grade gold, silver, and copper mineralization. Drill hole GD-26-436 from the Surebet Zone, intersected an extensive mineralized interval near the surface that assayed 7.38 g/t AuEq over 35.7 meters, including 19.51 g/t AuEq over 8.32 meters. This entire interval is characterized by veining, alteration, and anomalous gold grades throughout its length with multiple high-grade subintervals. It also contains several occurrences of visible gold to the naked eye (VG-NE), native silver associated with galena, sphalerite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite in quartz-sulphide stockwork and breccia hosted in sandstones   There also has been a new understanding developed, through the relogging of prior year's drill core and examining the new core from 2026, which is defining a new area of mineralization between Bonanza and Gold Gate.  This new area was originally referred to as the Volcanic Wedge, but has been re-branded by the exploration team as the “Big Bulk zone.”  Roger outlines that in a mining scenario this lower-grade bulk tonnage mineralization would still be extracted because there would be “no gold left behind.”   Drill holes GD-26-425 and GD-26-462 marked the presence of the volcanic Wedge Zone (Big Bulk zone) in the western and northeastern fringes of the mineralized system, respectively. These two newly discovered mineralized areas add to these two previously discovered Zone domains (see news August 31, 2026): the first located in the south-central part of the known mineralized system and the second in the recently announced 540 meter step-out to the Southwest of the Surebet system.   There are approximately 900 meters of untested volcanics by the drill bit separating the domains discovered in the West and Southwest of the system that have the potential to host further mineralization part of the volcanic Big Bulk Zone. This new Zone of mineralization is characterized by broad intervals of gold within quartz-sulphide mineralization including (VG-NE) that typically extends for 10 – 50 meters in drill core, inclusive of close to surface grades of up to 1.97 g/t AuEq over 33 meters.   Quartz-sulphide mineralization intersected in multiple step-out drill holes expanded the Golden Gate Zone (located within the volcanics) by an additional 160 meters to the northeast, beyond the previously reported 320-meter expansion, bringing the total 2026 expansion to 480 meters on the northeastern side and 540 meters on the southwestern side of the Surebet system for a total expansion of 1,020 meters (see news releases dated August 10 and August 11, 2026). The resulting Golden Gate mineralized footprint is 1.17 km2 , representing a 38% increase compared to 0.85 km2 defined prior to the 2026 drilling program. The Golden Gate Zone remains open for expansion and many holes drilled still have assays pending.      If you have any questions for Roger about Goliath Resources, then please email them to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Goliath Resources at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from Goliath Resources     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substack reports:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

    Power Metallic Mines – Key Takeaways From The Updated Mineral Resource Estimate, Exploration Update, Working Towards a PEA at the NISK Project

    Terry Lynch, CEO of Power Metallic Mines Inc. (TSXV: PNPN) (OTCBB: PNPNF) (Frankfurt: IVV1), joins us to review the key takeaways from the updated Mineral Resource Estimate and a comprehensive exploration update from their fully funded 100,000-meter drill program at the polymetallic NISK Project, located in the James Bay territory of Québec.  We also discuss all the pending drill results still at the assay lab further expanding the Lion Zone, other key regional exploration targets of interest, and the various modern technological survey approaches being deployed to guide their drill targeting.   On Sept. 8, Power Metallic announced an updated Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") for its Nisk Project (Power Metallic 80% / Critical Elements Lithium Corp. 20%) including the inaugural mineral resource for the Lion Zone and an updated mineral resource for the Nisk Main deposit.   Key Highlights:     On Sept. 8, Power Metallic announced an updated Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") for its Nisk Project (Power Metallic 80% / Critical Elements Lithium Corp. 20%), including the inaugural mineral resource for the Lion Zone and an updated mineral resource for the Nisk Main deposit. Lion contains 4.145 Mt Indicated at 3.86% CuEq (68% Cu, 2.61 g/t Pd, 0.85 g/t Pt, 0.49 g/t Au, 12.21 g/t Ag, 0.10% Ni), plus 0.601 Mt Inferred at 4.01% CuEq (1.84% Cu, 2.86 g/t Pd, 0.59 g/t Pt, 0.41 g/t Au, 12.47 g/t Ag, 0.13% Ni). Over 85% of resource already in Indicated status MRE cut-off was April 19; the post-MRE cut-off deep drilling was not included Currently 5 drill rigs are still active, as part of the ongoing 100,000 meter exploration program Additional assays are expected back from the lab by late September Mineralization starts at surface with ~59% of tonnes within open-pit resource Metallurgical studies have demonstrated a >98% Cu recovery, with a 25%+ Cu concentrate The company has ongoing workstreams building towards a Preliminary Economic Study (PEA) in H1 of 2027.   From here, the exploration question is how deep Lion goes and where the nickel went? Lion carries the copper and precious metals that come out of a magmatic sulphide system last; the nickel-rich sulphide that comes out first should be somewhere in the system, and the Company has not found it yet. The summer program has been aimed at the down-dip extension of the shoot, with some holes targeting hundreds of metres below the current resource. Assays on Lion Deep are expected by the end of September.   Terry outlines that the current drill program focused on expanding the mineralization around the Lion Zone both stepping out looking for other broad mineralized zones, and also testing at depth for the potential “Elephant Zone” feeder system to the mineralization at Lion West, Lion Deep, and the Tiger Deep zones.  Terry mentioned that there were some surprising gold intercept values encountered when testing part of Lion Deep that will get some follow-up work down the road. Additionally, new polymetallic targets are being tested in fan holes at the Hydro Fold-Hinge Zone, which will utilize borehole EM technology.     Next we discussed the utilization of modern scientific approaches to exploration, building on the recent Muon Tomography program to accelerate the hunt for deeper high-grade Ni-Cu-PGE zones, look for a similar specific gravity reading as where they've already encountered massive sulphide mineralization. Power Metallic is also conducting an Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey on the Nisk Far West target, completing a gravity survey over the Lion area, and completing a superconducting quantum magnetometer SQUIDs survey over the Lion area. These state-of-the-art techniques that will sharpen future drill targeting for the Lion Zone extensions and new discoveries across the expanded property.   Wrapping up Terry outlined the larger value proposition in Power Metallic with updated MRE leading to a PEA in H1 of 2027, all the additional drill results that will keep coming in for the foreseeable future, the extra optionality from the Saudi Arabian exploration initiatives, and the continued exposure to Chilean Metals.     Click here to follow the latest news from Power Metallic Mines     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substack reports:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

    Keith Bodnarchuk, President and CEO of Cosa Resources Corp. (TSXV: COSA) (OTCQB: COSAF) (FSE: SSKU), joins me to review the 6,700+ meter 13-hole summer drill program along the Cyclone Trend at the Company's Murphy Lake North (“MLN”) project.  We also discuss the upcoming drill mobilization for their Darby Project, and for the Aurora Project in the near future.   Murphy Lake North and Darby are both joint venture projects between Cosa and Denison Mines Corp. (TSX: DML) (NYSE American: DNN). Cosa is the project operator and holds a 70% interest with Denison holding a 30% interest on both properties. MLN is located three kilometres east of IsoEnergy's Hurricane deposit, in the eastern Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, and was the focus of this summer program's drill results.   Highlights   Multiple zones of structurally controlled alteration and elevated radioactivity remain open along strike for several hundred meters and on multiple sections Drilling evaluated multiple structures over 650 metres of strike length with all 13 drill holes intersecting strong structure and/or alteration Summer 2026 drilling prioritized unconformity targets with significant room for basement-hosted mineralization remaining With $16 million in the treasury, Cosa remains fully funded for a significant follow up drilling campaign   The 13-hole, 6,752 metre drill program followed up winter results at the Cyclone trend highlighted by 5.0 metres averaging 0.55% U3O8 (308.5-313.5 metres) in MLN26-013 including a 0.5 metre subinterval of 1.70% U3O8 (310.5-311.0 metres). Summer drilling targeted the Cyclone trend over a 650-metre strike length extending 400 metres west and 250 metres east of MLN26-013.  All 13 summer drill holes intersected moderate to strong alteration and/or structure, and several drill holes intersected intervals of elevated radioactivity. Drilling identified two prominent faults, the N- and S-faults, which are generally located along the northern and southern edges of the Cyclone graphitic basement unit. The N-fault is the most prominent basement structure intersected on the project and hosts the zone of strong basement alteration intersected by winter 2026 drill hole MLN26-017.    Next Steps:   With C$16 million the treasury, the Company remains well-funded for a significant follow up winter campaign at Murphy Lake North. Immediate follow up targets include the uranium pathfinder element enriched basement alteration zone intersected by MLN26-017 and MLN26-020C1, the S-fault, and the strike extensions of the N-fault. Additionally, the Company expects to announce commencement of drilling at the Darby and Aurora projects in the coming days.     If you have any questions for Keith or Andy regarding Cosa Resources then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com   * In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Cosa Resources at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from Cosa Resources     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substack reports:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

We also expand on the pathway forward into development of the Project, and eventual production in 2028.   On September 9th, the company released the first assays from its 2026 drill program, including multiple high-grade gold intercepts on its Blueberry and Lemoffe vein zones.   Highlights:   Blueberry Contact drillhole SR26-492 intersected 9.7 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 18.00 metres (m), including 40.4 g/t gold over 2.0 m at the Lemoffe vein zone. The hole also intercepted an additional Lemoffe vein grading 15.9 g/t gold over 2.0 m (Table 1, Figures 1,2). Blueberry Contact drillhole SR26-489 intersected 26.2 g/t gold over 2.45 m at the Lemoffe vein zone (Table 1, Figures 1,3). Blueberry Contact drillhole SR26-490 intersected 14.6 g/t gold over 2.45 m at the Blueberry vein zone (Table 1, Figures 1,4). More than 40,000 m of drilling this season has been completed in 160 holes, with an additional 12,000 to 16,000 m forecasted to be completed within the existing budget due to better-than-expected drilling productivity. Four drill holes are reported in this news release with assays pending, results will be reported throughout the remainder of the year as received. Eight diamond drills are currently turning; seven on the Scottie Gold Mine Project and one on Cambria Project.     Brad highlighted that the 2026 drilling program is focused on three key objectives: upgrading inferred ounces to indicated through infill drilling, expanding known vein zones, and testing major step-outs and new targets. This year's exploration program is expected to be in the order of 52,000 to 56,000 total metres. We discussed some holes testing expansion targets like Wolf, P-Zone, C&D veins, and Domino.     After all the 2026 data comes in the Company will then update the Resource Estimate and complete the workstreams to announce the Feasibility Study in 2027, with first production anticipated in 2028.     If you have any questions for Brad regarding Scottie Resources, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Scottie Resources at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from Scottie Resources     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substack reports:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

    Dan Barnholden, CEO of Luca Mining (TSX.V:LUCA – OTCQX:LUCMF – FSE:TSGA), joins us to review their Q2 2026 operations and financials, ongoing metallurgical studies, and expanded exploration and development work; across both of Luca's producing assets – the Campo Morado and Tahuehueto mines, located in the prolific Sierra Madre mineralized belt in Mexico.   Q2 2026 Highlights   Strong and consistent quarterly revenue: Revenue increased 47% to $58.4 million compared with $39.7 million in Q2 2025 and remained above the $57.6 million generated in Q1 2026. First-half revenue reached $116.0 million, an increase of 43% over the comparable period of 2025. Q2 revenue included $1.9 million of negative provisional pricing adjustments related to concentrate shipments made in prior periods. Strong profitability continued in Q2: Net earnings were $10.5 million, or $0.04 per share, compared with a net loss of $3.2 million in Q2 2025. Together with the $12.6 million earned in Q1 2026, Luca generated $23.1 million of net earnings in the first six months of 2026, compared with $1.3 million in the first half of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA increased 156% year-over-year to $14.3 million for Q2 and for the first six months of 2026, Adjusted EBITDA reached $36.7 million. Positive free cash flow while continuing significant investment: Operating cash flow before working capital changes was $13.9 million during Q2 2026. After approximately $11.3 million of capital investment, the Company generated free cash flow before working capital changes of $2.6 million, compared with negative $3.2 million in Q2 2025. The quarter's capital investment included continued spending on underground development, infrastructure and record levels of exploration activity.   Tahuehueto had a solid production quarter, where prior investments in the processing plant and underground development, combined with the transition to new mining contractor, La Cantera, contributed to improved operating performance. There will be a coming resource estimate and technical report on increasing the plant throughput out by year-end.   At Campo Morado, previously announced efforts to build a stockpile resulted in a quarter-over-quarter increase in mined tonnes while milled tonnes decreased. This temporarily reduced metal production and cash generation relative to the level of mining activity during the quarter. The stockpile was established to provide greater flexibility in managing mill feed as the Company advances optimization initiatives aimed at improving metallurgical recoveries in the near term, ahead of the anticipated recovery improvements from the Campo Morado Expansion.    Dan outlined that the Campo Morado Expansion technical study, due out in H2 2026, would be comprised of: Building up the stockpile to blend the ore into the mill improving recoveries the potential for water treatment to reduce acidity trade-off studies on a finer grind size to improve precious metals recoveries   During the second quarter of 2026, the Company completed approximately 12,400 metres of drilling, a Luca quarterly record, taking the year-to-date drilled meters to ~ 22,000. Exploration activities were primarily focused on near-mine and resource expansion targets, achieving the objectives of extending mine life and improving production flexibility at the Company's operating assets.  There are 38 nearby targets around Campo Morado, identified by gravity surveys, that will start being systematically explored in the quarters to come.   Click here to follow the latest news from Luca Mining     If you have any question for Dan regarding Luca Mining, then please email those into us  at Fleck@kereport.com or  Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure Shad is a shareholder of Luca Mining at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substack reports:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Average annual production of 20 Moz silver equivalent (“AgEq”) during the first five years of full mine production, comprised of 14 Moz Ag and 89 koz Au; Average life-of-mine (“LOM”) annual production of 10 Moz AgEq, comprised of 5.9 Moz Ag and 62 koz Au over a 25-year life of mine (“LOM”). Low All-in Sustaining Cash Costs (“AISC”)2 of $20/oz AgEq over the LOM – positioning Diablillos among the lowest-cost primary silver projects globally.  Initial capital expenditures of $722 million (including $98 million contingency) with subsequent sustaining capital of $520 million funded through operating cash flow.  Increased Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves of 77.9 Mt grading 146 g/t Ag Eq, containing 183 Moz Ag and 1.8 Moz Au (366 Moz AgEq), estimated from an open pit optimized using metal prices of $29.50/oz Ag and $2,800/oz Au. First production targeted before year-end 2029, subject to a final investment decision (“FID”) expected in Q2 2027.   The Company is working on an upcoming Phase 2 economics study: This will incorporate a PEA on the heap leach expansion to process lower grade mineralized material that would provide incremental gold and silver production. Trade-off studies are being reviewed that analyze the potential for higher throughput rates if there was a larger plant built, (possibly doubling throughput) Ongoing Phase 6 exploration program, further testing earlier-stage targets like Cerro Viejo, Condoryacu, as well as growing resource at Occulto East and JAC. This program will add to a resource update before the updated DFS next year.   Other Key Company Milestones:   The Company has already received approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)  {“Declaración de Impacto Ambiental” or “DIA”} from both the Government of Salta Province and the Catamarca Province in Argentina. The company has issued a Limited Notice to Proceed to Worley to commence the bridging engineering phase, and initiates the workstreams required to support a final investment decision ("FID") targeted for the second quarter of 2027. Marie Inkster has been appointed as Executive Chair of the Board of Directors; Jeremy Weyland has been promoted to Chief Operating Officer; Wendy Kaufman, CPA, CA, has been appointed as a Director of the Company and will serve as Chair of the Audit Committee; John Naisbitt  has been appointed Project Director, and the Company is actively expanding its Project Development team with additional appointments expected in the very near term at both the Diablillos site and at the corporate level.   Click here to follow the latest news from AbraSilver Resource Corp    If you have any follow up questions for John regarding at AbraSilver, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of AbraSilver Resource Corp at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell more shares at any time.     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substack reports:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

    James Anderson, Chairman & CEO of Guanajuato Silver (TSX.V: GSVR) (OTCQX: GSVRF), joins us for a comprehensive update on Q2 2026 financials, year-to-date operations trends, the 16,000 meters of underground development work underway, and the key initiatives for their ongoing 75,000 meter drill program at each mine.   Guanajuato Silver produces silver and gold concentrates from the El Cubo Mine Complex, Valenciana Mines Complex, the San Ignacio mine, and their recently acquired Bolanitos Gold-Silver Mine. In addition, the Company produces silver, gold, lead, and zinc concentrates from the Topia mine in northwestern Durango.  In addition to these 5 producing mines, the Company also has 3 past-producing exploration and development projects in their portfolio at the El Horcon Mine, Pinguico Mine, and Cebada Mine.    Q2 2026 Highlights   Revenue of $42.5M was consistent with the previous quarter, where revenue totalled $43.0M. Over 95% of revenue in Q2 was derived from the sale of precious metals. Net income remained positive in Q2 at $557,000; and $6.3M for the first half of 2026. This was the Company's second consecutive quarter of net positive income. Silver production of 347,481 ounces represents a 2% increase over the previous quarter. 57% of revenue for Q2 was generated from silver sales. The gold-rich Bolanitos Mine remains in the process of ramp-up and full integration. The Company's debt was substantially reduced in Q2; a total of 3,029 ounces of gold were paid down on the Company's gold loan with Ocean Partners UK Ltd; this accelerated repayment eliminated all future monthly payments at a significant discount to the current gold price. The Company now has only one final payment due in April 2028.  Positive mine operating income for the quarter; the Company earned $9.1M in Q2 and $23.4M from operations for the first half of the year. Adjusted EBITDA* was also positive for the quarter at $5.8M and $20.6M for H1 2026. 300 ounces of gold sales per month were hedged at the fixed price of $5220/ounce; this hedge began at the beginning of the quarter and will run until December 2026. This hedge represents approximately 25% of current gold production. 20,000 ounces of silver sales per month were sold forward at the fixed price of $84.50/ounce; this hedge began in February and will run until September 2026. An additional 20,000 ounces of silver sales per month were hedged using a collar with a minimum price of $80/ounce and maximum price of $93 per ounce; this hedge began in April and will run until December 2026. Combined, these hedges represent approximately 34% of current silver production. Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments totaled $19.9M at the end of the quarter.   We reviewed how the All-In Sustaining Costs were affected not just by currency fluctuations and a large investment back into the 5 mines, but also due to shifts in the gold:silver ratio, and how that skews the silver equivalent metrics.   James outlines the key ongoing 2026 initiatives with the ongoing 16,000 meters of underground development work paired with the 75,000-meter drill program, currently utilizing 8 drill rigs to augment exploration initiatives. This is largest exploration program the company has ever deployed, with some areas getting the first meaningful resource expansion in many years.     If you have any follow up questions for James on Guanajuato Silver, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Guanajuato Silver at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from Guanajuato Silver     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substack reports:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

    Sue Riddell Rose, President and CEO, and Ryan Shay, CFO, of Rubellite Energy Corp. (TSX: RBY) (OTC: RUBLF), join us for an exclusive introduction to this growth-oriented heavy oil producer in South Clearwater and the Mannville Stack in Eastern Alberta.  We review their Q2 operations and financials, as well as a key disposition of the East Edson natural gas assets.   This morning, on September 8, 2026, the Company announced that it sold its 50% non-operated working interest in the East Edson natural gas assets in West Central Alberta to the third-party operator of the East Edson Assets for total consideration of $67.0 million, satisfied through the delivery by the Purchaser to Rubellite of 2.083 million freely tradeable common shares of Topaz Energy Corp. (TSX: TPZ).   Sue outlined that this sale of the East Edson property transitions Rubellite back to a pure play heavy oil company, sharpening their focus on the multi-lateral horizontal development of their Clearwater and Mannville stack assets where Rubellite's technical expertise drives top-tier netbacks and capital efficiencies.   Ryan highlighted how there could be great reductions in decline rates, and improving production metrics, as they are engaged with pilot testing of utilizing water floods on many existing assets.  There have been a few operators in the Clearwater formation that have seen a large boost to their production and valuations as a result of executing on a water flood strategy.   Q2 OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS:   Total sales production: Despite very challenging spring weather conditions, Rubellite averaged total sales production of 13,406 boe/d in the second quarter of 2026 (67% heavy oil and natural gas liquids ("NGL")), exceeding the top end of the quarterly guidance range of 13,300 to 13,400 boe/d. Heavy oil sales production: Averaged 8,534 bbl/d in the second quarter of 2026, just outside of the quarterly guidance range of 8,550 to 8,650 bbl/d. Exploration and development spending: Spent $41.0 million in the second quarter, within the guided range of $39.0 to $41.0 million. Second quarter spending included the drilling and completion of 9 net primary open hole multi-lateral ("OHML") Clearwater development wells and 2 net polymer pilot producer-injector pair at Figure Lake; 1 (0.5 net) OHML Waseca South development well, 2 (1.5 net) OHML Waseca North development wells and 2 (1.5 net) GP wells at Frog Lake. Land and geological and geophysical spending: Spent $2.5 million on land to capture acreage in core areas and for exploration prospects and $0.2 million on geological and geophysical activities related to special core testing to inform enhanced oil recovery pilot work and various data seismic purchases.  Asset swap: On June 30, 2026, Rubellite completed an asset swap transaction that doubled the Company's working interest in its Marten Hills Clearwater assets from 30% to 60%, in exchange for certain non-core undeveloped lands at Dawson and cash consideration of $0.8 million. The incremental 30% working interest represents approximately 191 bbl/d of heavy oil sales production based on second quarter 2026 average rates, which will be reflected in the Company's production volumes beginning in the third quarter of 2026. Abandonment and reclamation: Spent $0.1 million on decommissioning, abandonment and reclamation activities and received three reclamation certificates from the Alberta Energy Regulator ("AER") in the quarter, bringing the total to four in 2026.   Q2 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS   Adjusted funds flow: $35.2 million ($0.38 per share) in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 6% from $33.4 million ($0.36 per share) in the first quarter of 2026. Cash costs: $23.5 million or $19.29/boe in the second quarter of 2026 Net income: $34.1 million ($0.36 per share) in the second quarter of 2026 Net debt: $158.1 million at June 30, 2026. During the first half of 2026, Rubellite's capital expenditures, including land and other spending, of $76.5 million exceeded adjusted funds flow of $68.6 million. In addition, other obligations were settled, including a $3.8 million reduction of the other provision, $0.5 million of decommissioning expenditures, $0.8 million of cash-settled share based compensation payments and $0.8 million of cash consideration for the asset swap transaction. Available liquidity: During the second quarter, the borrowing limit was increased to $160.0 million from $140.0 million. As at June 30, 2026, available liquidity was $62.9 million, based on the increased $160.0 million first-lien credit facility borrowing limit, less $95.7 million of bank borrowings and $1.4 million in letters of credit.   Click here to follow the latest news from Rubellite Energy   If you have any questions for Sue or Ryan, regarding Rubellite Energy, then please email those to Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substack reports:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

    Stefan Sklepowicz, CEO of Kirkland Lake Discoveries (TSXV: KLDC) (OTCQB: KLKLF), joins me for an exploration update on the first two holes from the regional testing around the Mirado deposit in KL South. MZ target holes KLM26-035 and KLM26-037 successfully intersected multiple broad intervals of gold mineralization and high-grade gold. Their district-scale exploration portfolio, spanning KL West, KL East, and KL South is located in the Kirkland Lake region of Ontario's Abitibi Greenstone Belt; one of the most prolific mining districts in the world.   Mineralization and alteration of these holes are consistent with the Mirado South Zone and are interpreted to be contiguous with the historical deposit.  As such, the Company has renamed the MZ Zone to “Mirado West.” These holes are part of the ongoing summer 2026 drill program at KL South Project, 18 km south of Kirkland Lake, with 19 additional holes pending.   Highlights   KLM26-037 – 1.22 g/t Au over 69.50 m from 33.00 m including 5.67 g/t Au over 12.00 m KLM26-035 – 0.35 g/t Au over 21.18 m from 19.50 m and 0.65 g/t Au over 15.83 m from 65.20 m and 0.34 g/t Au over 11.23 m from 95.50 m and 36.72 g/t Au over 1.01 m from 174.50 m and 0.89 g/t Au over 11.60 m from 222.40 m Mineralization and alteration are consistent with the Mirado deposit, extending mineralization more than 600 m west and bringing the lateral mineralized footprint to over 1,300 m. 19 holes pending results Nine from Mirado North and South Four from Mirado West Six regional targets   Stefan outlined that intercepting broad, near-surface gold mineralization validates their regional targeting and significantly scales up the project, by extending the mineralized footprint to over 1,300 metres. This is demonstrating that Mirado is part of a much larger, contiguous gold system. With 19 holes still pending, including four more from this newly renamed Mirado West, the company is eagerly anticipating the rest of the summer program's results.   If you have any questions for Stefan about Kirkland Lake Discoveries then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to follow the latest news from Kirkland Lake Discoveries     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

    Sierra Madre Gold and Silver – Q2 Operations and Financial Update At La Guitarra Mining Complex, 60k Meters Of Drilling Between La Guitarra and Del Toro Properties

    Play Episode Listen Later Sep 7, 2026 21:12


    Alex Langer, President and CEO of Sierra Madre Gold And Silver (TSXV: SM) (OTCQX: SMDRF), joins me to recap the Q2 operations and financial update at the La Guitarra silver-gold mine complex in Mexico, which includes 3 producing mines:  La Guitarra, Coloso, and Nazareno.   We look ahead to the 2-phase mill expansion and upcoming increased 30,000 meters of drilling planned across the La Guitarra District.  Additionally, we discussed the path forward at the recently acquired Del Toro mining complex, and the increased drill program to 30,000+ meters of drilling at the property starting in the second half of this year.   Q2 2026 Highlights   Revenues: Silver revenues for the quarter totaled $5.0 million ($75.65 per ounce) and gold revenues totaled $4.3 million ($4,529 per ounce). Silver revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 ("Q2 2025"), totaled $2.2 million ($33.36 per ounce) and gold revenues totaled $3.6 million ($3,272 per ounce). Adjusted EBITDA of $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 ("H1 2026") compares to $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 ("H1 2025"). Gross Profit was $1.58 million for Q2 2026, as compared to $1.69 million for Q2 2025. Cash from Operations: the Company generated $1.89 million of cash from operating activities in H1 2026 as compared to $1.37 million in H1 2025. Cash and Cash Equivalents at June 30, 2026 totaled $22.2 million, with $25.0 million in working capital, compared to $13.2 million and $14.4 million at March 31, 2026, respectively. Daily Production is now reaching up to 672 tonnes per day ("tpd"), a 34% increase over the previous level of 500 tpd. Del Toro Acquisition: Following shareholder approval (April 28, 2026 news release) and Mexican Antitrust approval (announced May 22, 2026), the Company closed the acquisition of a 100% interest in the Del Toro silver mine, as announced on June 22, 2026. With this acquisition, Sierra Madre completed a concurrent financing for gross proceeds of CAD$57.5 million. Geologic mapping and sampling have started at Del Toro with a re-evaluation of surveys underway and drilling expected to start in mid-2027. East District Exploration: Following quarter-end, as released on July 14, 2026, Sierra Madre received approval to start drilling in the East District of the Guitarra complex. Target definition work is underway with drilling bids in hand for a long-hole sub-horizontal drill program planned from the Tlacotal property (a permitted area designated for mining). Drilling is expected to start in H2 2026. First Majestic Loan Repayment: As announced on July 8, 2026, the Company has fully repaid the US$5 million non-revolving, secured term loan with First Majestic Silver. Operational Details Production: Ahead of the Phase I and II expansion plans, Sierra Madre selected a contractor to ramp up production from the higher-grade Coloso and Nazareno mines; contractor operations started mid-June. Sierra Madre miners and equipment are now focused on accelerating production at the Guitarra mine. Costs: The Q2 2026 cash costs were negatively impacted by the ramp up and development work at Coloso and Nazareno, leading to a significant share of production being sourced from development drives and out-of-resource, lower grade mineralization. While adding to top-line revenues, increased commodity prices also add to our cash costs through increased royalty payments and taxes. The strengthening Mexican peso against the US dollar, inflation impacts on inputs, and rising worker pay rates also affected costs. Recoveries: Gold and silver recoveries declined as the ongoing development work opened new mining areas and resulted in a blend of feed from three mining centres. Sierra Madre has built a metallurgical lab at the site to optimize the blending protocol. Power Generation: In Q2 2026, power outages continued due to weather incidents, increasing costs. Sierra Madre acquired a 1,250-kilowatt ("kW") back-up diesel generator for Coloso and Nazareno (installation is underway), plus two 1,500-kW back-up diesel generators for the plant. Installation of the two Guitarra generators was completed mid-August 2026 and are expected to be fully operational in September. Equipment: The transfer of a narrow-profile Muki jumbo drill to the Guitarra mine is expected to support development and production of narrower and higher-grade veins in the San Raphael area and of the Juliet vein. Following quarter end, the rebuild of a 0.5-yard scoop tram has reduced dilution and mining costs for the Juliet vein. Sierra Madre also purchased two haul trucks in April, to replace rental units used in the tailings buttress program and for Coloso haulage, which are expected to lead to cost reductions. Two scoops were also acquired to support increased mining rates with the expansion. Coloso and Nazareno: Mining restarted at the higher-grade Coloso underground mine at the end of Q1 2025 (estimated resource grades at Coloso are significantly higher in both silver and gold compared to the Guitarra mine veins[1]). In September 2025, Sierra Madre also announced the restart of mining at the Nazareno mine. At Coloso, dewatering of the lower levels has been accelerated and production from resource blocks below the existing workings is expected to start in the second half of 2026. Nazareno began full production from long-hole stopes on the 180 level in late April 2026. Expansion Progress As announced on September 8, 2025, the Company has initiated a plan to expand production capacity at Guitarra in a two-phase program with the first phase aimed at increasing the nameplate capacity of the mill from 500 tpd to a range of 750-800 tpd. The second phase is anticipated to be completed by Q3 2027, with the aim of increasing the capacity to a range of 1,200-1,500 tpd at Guitarra. With the larger-than-planned mill purchased for Phase I, additional foundation and electrical work was required - Sierra Madre now anticipates achieving Phase 1 production capacity before the end of Q3 2026. The purchase of this larger mill has moved the completion of this aspect of the Phase II expansion ahead of schedule. Since the end of Q2 2026, foundation work has been completed for the ball mill, support equipment, and building enclosure, with an overhead crane installed. Modifications to the existing mill and the installation of larger capacity pumps resulted in an increased total mill throughput capacity: daily production is now reaching up to 672 tpd, a 34% increase over the previous level of 500 tpd. Refurbishment of the used ball mill, purchased in December 2025, was completed at the end of Q1 2026, increasing its rated milling capacity to 900 tpd. A standard head crusher, purchased in Q4 2025, started full operation in April 2026 (two months ahead of schedule). Together with modifications to the primary crusher, this addition is expected to allow the circuit to surpass the Phase I objective of 750-800 tpd. Thickener tank construction was completed in mid-August 2026, with testing of the mechanical and electrical circuits underway - the thickener is expected to be functional by the end of September. Shipping delays pushed back completion from the original late June 2026 estimate. The thickener is designed to thicken tailings to ±60% solids, allowing a significant portion of the tailings to be pumped directly to open stopes below the main San Raphael mine level, using existing tailings pumping equipment. Sierra Madre has also chosen to proceed with the construction of the new permitted dry stack tailings storage facility. Site clearing is expected to start in October. Construction of a filter plant and a second thickener will also be needed for the Phase II expansion.   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 full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Sierra Madre Gold and Silver and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow along with the latest news from Sierra Madre Gold & Silver     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

    Stillwater Critical Minerals – Updated MRE More Than Doubles The Mineral Resources at Stillwater West – Ongoing Infill Drilling, Future PEA

    Play Episode Listen Later Sep 4, 2026 17:32


    We are joined by Michael Rowley, President & CEO of Stillwater Critical Minerals (TSX.V: PGE – OTCQB: PGEZF), to provide the key metrics and takeaways from updated and expanded Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), over double the prior resources, for its flagship Stillwater West Ni-PGE-Cu-Co + Au project in Montana, USA.   We also unpack the larger value proposition at the Stillwater West project as far as what it would mean to a major metals producer and potential suitor in a development scenario, and what it would mean for both the state of Montana and the USA overall as a domestic supply of critical minerals.   The updated estimate includes 805.1 million tonnes of Inferred Mineral Resources grading 0.34% total nickel equivalent (“NiTEq”) containing 4.8 billion pounds of nickel, copper and cobalt, and 7.4 million ounces of platinum, palladium, gold and rhodium in a base-case model using a 0.20% NiTEq cut-off grade. The resource also includes a further 29.4 million tonnes of Indicated Mineral Resources grading 0.38% NiTEq containing 190 million pounds of nickel, copper and cobalt, and 0.359 Moz of platinum, palladium, gold and rhodium. Higher cut-off grades at 0.35% and 0.50% NiTEq are also presented as a sensitivity representing higher-grade zones.   The 2026 MRE reflects a substantial advancement in the Company's understanding of the Stillwater West mineral system, incorporating additional drilling, robust verification of historical data, refined geological and structural interpretations supported by comprehensive geophysical survey coverage, and an updated geologic and resource model. The updated estimate provides a stronger technical foundation for continued resource expansion, planned metallurgical testing and mining studies to support the advancement of one of North America's largest undeveloped polymetallic critical mineral systems.   2026 Mineral Resource Estimate Highlights   Resource estimate comprises 29.4 million tonnes of Indicated and 805.1 million tonnes of Inferred Mineral Resources containing 3.01 Blbs nickel, 1.52 Blbs copper, 283 Mlbs cobalt, 2.28 Moz platinum, 3.97 Moz palladium, 864 thousand ounces gold, and 310 Koz rhodium at 0.20% NiTEq cut-off. First definition of an Indicated Mineral Resource, marking an important milestone in the advancement of the Stillwater West project and reflecting substantially increased geological confidence. Significantly expanded resource estimate for priority critical minerals including nickel, copper, cobalt, and rhodium, making Stillwater West the largest known rhodium deposit in North America and the largest nickel and cobalt deposit in an active US mining district. Expansion of Inferred chromium resource to 6.6 Blbs confirming the Stillwater complex as one of the only past-producing and current significant resources in the United States. No economic or recovery assumptions have been made about chromium which co-occurs with the other metals, and it is not included in the NiTEq calculations. Four zones are modeled across the central 10-kilometers of the project area, with the updated geological model combining the previously separate CZ and Central deposits at Iron Mountain. Stillwater West is uniquely positioned to become a primary source of 10 commodities now listed as critical, given their location immediately adjacent to Sibanye-Stillwater's operating mine complex in Montana.   Mike shares how the geological model is holding together precisely as expected, using the South African Bushveld Igneous Complex as analog, and how their five “Platreef-style” (or contact-type) Ni-Cu-Co-PGE+Au deposits may tie together in a larger sense.  3 drill rigs have been turning at both Iron Mountain and Chrome Mountain, and assays are pending from fresh drill core still coming off the mountain during the 2026 program.     If you have any questions for the team at Stillwater Critical Minerals, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Stillwater Critical Minerals at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.      Click here to follow the latest news from Stillwater Critical Minerals   Stillwater Critical Minerals-Visual Update Of The 2026 Exploration Strategy & Upcoming Key Catalysts https://youtu.be/-06207Rlk-Y   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

    John Rubino – Incoherent Strategies In Macroeconomics and Geopolitics, Volatility In Bond Yields, Inflating Prices In Oil, Diesel, Copper, Gold, and Silver

    Play Episode Listen Later Sep 3, 2026 24:07


    John Rubino, {Substack https://rubino.substack.com/}, joins us for another wide-ranging discussion around the macroeconomic forces at play between monetary policies and fiscal policies, both domestically and internationally. This is accented by the geopolitical ramifications on the inflation outlook, especially as it relates to the energy sector via rising oil and diesel price trends.  We also get John's outlook on key metals like copper, gold, silver and what kinds of resource stocks that he is animated by in this environment.   We start off dissecting the opposing policy initiatives and stated goals of fiscal policy from the US Treasury Department, versus the monetary policy approaches and messaging by the Federal Reserve.   US Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, recently showed a bit of desperation by intervening in the Japanese Yen in early August to stave off potential runs on US treasuries, and tried to intervene in long-dated bonds, to try and bring down the long-end of the yield curve. Kevin Warsh roiled markets some in late August, where his remarks from the Jackson Hole banking symposium were taken as hawkish by the markets, where he has signaled being open to hiking rates to fight the effects of persistent inflation above their stated goal. John points out the incoherent approach in the US between these 2 opposing forces.   Next, we got John's take on the energy sector, in lieu of continued conflict in the Middle East and Persian Gulf, and how it may play into rising inflation.   John points out how diesel prices are woven into the fabric of everyday life through freight, manufacturing, farming equipment, and how the record crack spreads from refining are going to result in higher inflation metrics.   At the same time the US is having a “war of choice” that is causing inflation in the form of higher oil prices and higher crack spreads on diesel pricing; the Fed is still considering hiking rates to fight inflation. Those 2 forces could lead to a recession if the trends don't change in the near-term.   This leads into the observation of the continued strength in the copper price, holding up near all-time highs, despite what should be macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds.   John shares why he remains longer-term bullish copper price appreciation due to the compelling supply/demand fundamentals. He also shares why he is short-term constructive on copper producers and key junior development assets that may become acquisition targets by the senior companies. The caveat John mentions is the unknowable nature of the medium-term. If there is an economic recession brought about by the softening in AI data center buildouts, or a rolling over of the lofty valuations in US equities, then this could also still pressure copper and copper stocks to the downside.   Wrapping up, we review the strong financial health of the gold and silver producers and highlight that metal producers will need to look to growing production through purchasing more mineral inventories in the ground via advanced development projects or currently producing assets.   PM producers and royalty companies just reported a great Q2 earnings season in August, continuing to highlight increased revenues and rising cashflows, despite many companies seeing flatlining or even declining production metrics. The strong metals prices have been seemingly more germane to earnings than strong fundamental growth has been. Cashed up gold and silver producers will eventually need to replace their depleting reserves, so the environment is present to start seeing more mergers and acquisitions for the balance of this year and next.     Click here to follow John's analysis and articles over at Substack     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

    Fred Davidson, President and CEO of Impact Silver (TSX.V:IPT) (OTCQB: ISVLF), joins me to outline the key takeaways from the Q2 2026 financial and operations, and provides an update on the current production and exploration upside at the Zacualpan Silver-Gold District, as well as the move-forward plan on the Plomosas Zinc-Lead-Silver Mine in Chihuahua, Mexico.   The Company has 4 underground mines and 1 open-pit mine all feeding into the Guadalupe processing plant in the Zacualpan Silver-Gold District; with a number of other past-producing silver and gold mines across their district-scale land package being explored for future development.   Q2 and H1 Financial Results:   The Company reported Q2 2026 revenue of $22.0 million, representing a 124% increase over $9.8 million in Q2 2025, driven by higher realized silver prices and increased grades and production at the Zacualpan silver-focused operation. Net income for Q2 2026 improved to $2.8 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to a net loss of $2.0 million, or $(0.01) per share in Q2 2025. For the first six months of 2026, consolidated revenue grew to $53.1 million up from $20.5 million in the prior-year period. Q2 2026 gross profit reached $8.7 million compared to $1.0 million in Q2 2025, bringing six-month gross profit to $29.1 million compared to $3.2 million a year earlier. For the six-month period ending June 30, 2026, net income reached $14.1 million, or $0.04 per share, compared to a net loss of $2.1 million, or $(0.01) per share, in 2025. At quarter-end, the Company had $52.2 million in cash, and no long-term debt. During the quarter, 4.0 million share purchase warrants were exercised for proceeds of $1.4 million.   Fred highlighted the financial benefits of higher silver prices combined with improved grades from the Kena vein at Zacualpan, which together drove a substantial increase in revenue and a second consecutive quarter of significant net income. Zacualpan continued to benefit from ongoing mine and mill improvements, with Q2 2026 production at the Zacualpan-Guadalupe mill increasing 8% to 36,908 tonnes from 34,173 tonnes in Q2 2025. More importantly, silver equivalent production from the Guadalupe Complex increased 39% to 221,385 ounces, compared with 159,298 ounces a year earlier.     Fred outlined the high-grade drill results on the north extension of the Carlos Pacheco Vein System at its producing Noche Buena silver-gold mine located 4km southwest of its Guadalupe. The company is currently evaluating the potential rehabilitation of the Capire Mill, as a potential area to process the Carlos Pacheco ore   At Plomosas, the Company took decisive action in the previous quarter to temporarily suspend underground mining while they reassess the operation's cost structure and evaluate options for its longer-term future, including the processing of third-party feed through our plant. After sufficient drilling and interpretation is completed, then the plan is to work towards a more efficient and sustainable mine plan of operations for the longer-term.  He also mentioned that the Company is currently in advanced-stage discussions on toll-milling arrangements at their Plomosa plant with a few nearby third-party operators; which they believe could generate cash flow during the current suspension of mining at Plomosas.     If you have any follow up questions for Fred about Impact Silver, then please email me at  Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Impact Silver at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time   Click here to follow the latest news from Impact Silver   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.
