Mark Cruise, Executive Chairman of BP Silver Corp. (TSX.V: BPAG) (OTCQB: BPSCF), joins me for a big picture overview of the value proposition in the Company, why he joined the board and believes in the team, why he is bullish on discoveries being made in Bolivia as an emerging jurisdiction, the potential he sees across multiple targets at the Cosuño Silver Project, and then we dive into an updated exploration strategy for 2026.   The 2,000-meter Phase 2 drill program is well underway at Cosuño, and is just the first part of a broader ~8,000 m diamond drilling campaign anticipated for 2026.   The Phase 2 drill program is designed to test the broader scale potential of the Cosuño lithocap-hosted hydrothermal system and build on the positive results of the Company's Phase 1 drill program; and will comprise approximately 20 to 24 diamond drill holes. The first drill hole is currently following up on high-grade silver mineralization intersected at the Pocañita Chica target, where discovery drilling returned 5 m grading 600.40 g/t silver, including 1 m grading 1,655 g/t silver.   We then discuss the series of other exploration workstreams that will be commencing over the next couple months, such as: the MAG Survey, IP Survey, more mapping and sampling. Together, these datasets are expected to improve significantly the Company's understanding of the geometry, continuity, scale, and tenor of the vein and breccia systems across Cosuño.   Once this new data gets incorporated into the geological model, then it will lead into prioritizing the targets for the 6,000-meter Phase 3 drill program later this year. Tim also highlighted that Pocañita Grande will be getting its maiden drilling during the Phase 3 program, now that they have been developing roads and site access to this important target.   Click here to follow the latest news from BP Silver Corp       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.

Sean Brodrick, Editor of Wealth Megatrends, Supercycle Investor, Resource Trader, and contributing analyst to Weiss Ratings Daily, joins us to discuss his investing outlook 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 gold, silver, PM stocks, copper and copper stocks, critical minerals stocks, space stocks, and defense stocks.   The conversation kicks off around the strong recovery move higher in the precious metals sector, breaking up through overhead resistance and changing the tone and sentiment in the sector.   Sean shares his outlook on what fundamentals are driving gold, silver, and the PM stocks up so suddenly. He is cautious that short-term economic data could trigger a retracement back lower, but also shares the reasons why he believes this move in the precious metals complex could have legs for the some time. He has been constructive on the upcoming Q2 earnings which has paid off over the last couple weeks, where producer margins, revenues, and free cash flows were still very robust. Sean is still mostly animated by revenue-generating gold and silver producers, and cautions investors to be weary of the temptation of many pre-revenue juniors to use this bounce to raise money, diluting current shareholders as they issue more shares.   Next we dove into the incredible technical strength this year in copper as an energy metals, but contrasted that against the more tame response overall by the copper stocks. Sean provided some compelling stats for copper demand across many sectors, and contrasted that against the supply deficit from copper miners as an opportunity for investors to pay close attention to.   With regards to the critical minerals stocks, we have seen a solid bounce over the last couple weeks, in tandem with the other metals, pondering if this is all part of a huge metals melt-up move. Sean points out the geopolitical factors and supply chain constraints that are underpinning the continued interest and attractive fundamental backdrop across a range of critical minerals. We also discuss the significance of the US government continuing to directly support the development of key critical minerals projects and domestic processing.   Wrapping up, we touch upon the blast up higher in broad US equities markets from last week and into early this week.  While there are many areas of the markets doing well and providing opportunity, Sean has remained more animated by the recent rebound in the space economy stocks, as well as the traditional and next generation defense stocks.     Click here to follow along with Sean's work at Weiss Ratings Daily and Wealth Megatrends .

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to review the value proposition that has his attention in 3 junior gold and copper exploration stocks, that have put out compelling news in the recent past and that have key alpha growth catalysts on tap in the medium-term.   The companies we discussed in the interview are:   BCM Resources Corporation (TSXV: B) – On August 6th the Company announced that diamond drill hole TK20, currently in progress, has encountered over 550 m of strongly mineralized porphyry and intercalated skarn mineralization at its 100% controlled Thompson Knolls project, Utah. Hole TK20 is a vertical drill hole collared 208 m northeast of discovery hole TK8 that intercepted 510 ft (155.4 m) of mineralized skarn grading 0.66% Cu, 0.12 gpt Au, and 7.4 gpt Ag (please refer to a Company news release dated May 24, 2023 for more information). Drilling of TK20, currently at a depth of 4,062 ft (1,238.4 m), is ongoing in mineralized rock.    PJX Resources Inc. (TSX.V: PJX) (OTC: PJXRF) – On July 23, 2026 the Company announced the close of the second tranche of their non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of $6.3 million. This financing will allow PJX to focus on two priority discovery opportunities for critical metals and gold in an established Canadian mining district. An initial 4,000 m drill program has commenced to test for a potential Sullivan-style Sedimentary Exhalative (Sedex) critical-metals discovery on the Dewdney Trail Property. At the Zinger Property, prospecting, mapping and surface sampling for gold are underway at the Gar target in advance of receiving permits to drill a potential Reduced Intrusion Related Gold System (RIRGS) for the first time.   Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQX: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF) – On Aug. 10, the Company reported assay results that confirm the expansion of the Golden Gate Zone to the Northeast by 320 meters of the previously known gold mineralization on its 100% owned Golddigger Property Golden Triangle, British Columbia. The Golden Gate Zone remains open laterally and at depth.   Dr. Quinton Hennigh, Advisor to Goliath and Strategic Investor commented: “When I spoke with the Company prior to this drill season, they made it abundantly clear that a considerable number of the planned drill holes would test extensions of various lode systems at the Surebet Discovery. Given that there remains exceptional opportunity to grow the systems high-grade gold footprint, I was delighted to hear this. We are now seeing the impact of this strategic decision. Drill hole GD-26-420 encountered a 6.51 g/t AuEq over 5.73 meters across the Golden Gate lode in a position 320 meters northeast of its previous limit. I believe we will continue to see many further drill extensions over the course of the rest of the 2026 and the Surebet Discovery is only going to keep on growing with every drill program.”   Mr. Roger Rosmus, Founder & CEO of Goliath states: “Our team is performing like a well-oiled machine. The goal of this 2026 drilling campaign is expansion and the directional drilling being utilized is paying off with the step outs being successful. The 320-meter step out of Golden Gate to the northeast is one example and nice surprise along the way. It is worth noting the amount of visible gold to the naked eye in the drill holes since we started drilling the Surebet discovery is unique, as well high-grade gold systems are not known to have such large footprints. After over 400+ drill holes have been completed to date the system remains open laterally and at depth. Grass roots high-grade gold systems tend to get challenging to grow them. But Surebet discovery is the opposite, we are challenging the geology and having no problems growing the system with aggressive step outs. The cadence of drill holes getting to the lab for assays is ideal, and we hope to have plenty more assay results throughout the rest of the year and into 2027.”   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 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.

Maura Kolb, President of Dryden Gold Corp (TSX.V: DRY) (OTCQX: DRYGF), joins us for a comprehensive exploration update at numerous areas of focus across their Dryden Gold District, in Northwestern Ontario, Canada.  We touch upon some of the recent news releases returning more high-grade and disseminated gold drill results at the Elora-Jubilee and Big Master along new parallel trends, the upcoming drilling at Mud Lake, a new land acquisition expanding the Gold Rock Camp trend, and various teams working on more ground truthing and surface exploration on the Hyndman and Sherridon regional targets.   We start off discussing how this year's expanded 45,000-meter drill program is continuing to build up the high-grade results from last year's drill program, confirming the thesis around the 3 geological deformation faults and folds at the Elora-Jubilee and Big Master trends at the Gold Rock Camp. There are now up to 15 parallel structures that have been delineated along this trend, and more recent results showing the geological model getting more refined.   On July 29th the Company announced recent drill results that confirm the discovery of two new gold-bearing structures at Gold Rock. A new high-grade mineralized structure between Elora and the Big Master gold systems, which was intercepted at 250-500 meters true depth being dubbed "Elora 2". Like the multiple mineralized hanging wall structures, this new structure has no surface expression. The mineralization is comparable to the brecciated quartz veining found at Big Master. The consistency of the structural setting and mineralization, along strike and at depth, supports the interpretation that this represents a significant mineralized corridor and not merely another hanging wall structure. A second structure was discovered in a single drill hole at the historic Paymaster target. Deeper down-plunge testing is about to commence with a second drill rig will be deployed to continue to fully define the structural controls and high-grade gold footprint at Gold Rock.   We expanded the conversation to review the potential for similar look-alike types of deposits to exist along the multi-kilometer Gold Rock mineralized trend, in a “string-of-pearls” thesis.  On July 16th, the Company announced having received the permits to drill the Mud Lake area to test extension targets identified through its 2025 drill program and geological mapping. Surface samples collected on a high-grade shear zone similar to Elora, where a significant fold in the mineralized structure occurs, assayed 93.00 g/t gold. There is also another new area of interest that could be a look-alike zone to the Southwest of the Elora-Jubilee system along this large trend in the Gold Rock Camp.   On July 6th the Company announced that is has entered into an option agreement to acquire 100% ownership of 123 tenured mineral claims known as the Lost Lake Property from Orebot Inc, an arm's length party. Lost Lake is strategically located in the historic Gold Rock Mining Camp and is surrounded by the Company's existing claims.   We touch upon the initial groundwork and drilling at the Hyndman regional area, with a lot of follow up work underway based on the exploration results released back on April 21st.   Maura reiterated the importance of the large soil sampling and channel sampling programs across their district-scale land package, and how it will inform follow up targeting, when used in concert with geophysical surveys.   Click here to follow the latest news from Dryden Gold   Click the video below highlighting the evolving geological understanding at Gold Rock: https://youtu.be/Yp3sVlvUVmI     If you have any questions for Maura, Trey, or the team at Dryden Gold, then please email them into us at Fleck@kereport.com or  Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Dryden Gold 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 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.

Arturo Préstamo Elizondo, Executive Chairman and CEO of Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. (TSX.V: SCZ) (NASDAQ: SCZM) (FSE: 1SZ), joins us for a review of the Q2 2026 production and operational results across their portfolio of 4 producing silver-zinc mines and ore feed sourcing business in Bolivia and Mexico. We also review a few of the key growth initiatives that the company has slated for 2026 across multiple projects.   Q2 2026 Production Highlights   Primary Production Metrics:   Silver: 1,573,100 ounces Zinc: 23,240 tonnes Lead: 3,165 tonnes Copper: 337 tonnes   Supplemental Production Metrics:   Silver Equivalent Production: 2,814,489 silver equivalent ounces Zinc Equivalent Production: 59,680 zinc equivalent tonnes   Consolidated silver production increased 17% to 1,573,100 ounces in Q2 2026 from 1,341,499 ounces in Q1 2026, with quarter-over-quarter increases at all five operations. Lead production increased 18% to 3,165 tonnes and copper production increased 9% to 337 tonnes. Compared with Q2 2025, consolidated silver production increased 11%, and zinc production increased 10%, on 9% higher consolidated tonnes milled.   The improvement was driven primarily by higher processed volumes, with consolidated tonnes milled increasing 7% to 521,956 tonnes, together with higher silver head grades at Bolivar and Porco and a marked improvement in silver recovery at Zimapan.   At Bolivar silver production increased 32% quarter-over-quarter to 343,522 ounces, driven by ongoing recovery efforts in the areas affected by the localized flooding event that occurred in May 2025. San Lucas processed 22% more ore than in the prior quarter. Consolidated zinc production increased 7% to 23,240 tonnes, driven principally by higher throughput, which more than offset lower zinc grades at Bolivar and Porco. Porco delivered higher silver and zinc production, driven by stronger silver grades and improved metal recoveries, while Caballo Blanco continued to make steady, meaningful contributions.   At Zimapan, operations rebounded from the temporary constraints experienced during the first quarter, including limited ventilation in the higher-grade zones at Level 960 due to a contractor delay in completing the ventilation Robbins incline shaft, as well as repeated power interruptions caused by the local service provider's maintenance of the power grid. As a result, metal recoveries improved across all four payable metals.   Next we transitioned to future growth, where the operations team is advancing their silver-dominant Soracaya mine towards development and near-term production. There is already a decline ramp into this project with initial stope access in 2 areas, and the plan once the permit is received in Q3 is to get this mine into initial ramp-up production by Q4 of 2026.   Wrapping up, we discussed the potential for future accretive acquisitions in the Americas.  The board and management team are open to a currently producing mine or development-stage underground mining assets, but only if the acquisition would be accretive for shareholders and if their team can unlock value in these acquired assets.     If you have any follow up questions for Arturo regarding Santacruz Silver, then please email those to us at Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Santacruz 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 Santacruz 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.

Roger Rosmus, Founder, CEO, & Director of Goliath Resources Ltd (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQX: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF), joins us for an exploration update reviewing the first drill assays returned from their fully funded 2026 drill program, comprised of ~50,000 meters of systematic drilling and utilizing 7 drill rigs, at the Surebet Discovery on the Golddigger Property; located in the Golden Triangle, B.C.   35 out of 98 planned drill holes have been completed with a total of 19,931 meters drilled in 2026. All drill holes from the 2026 drill program completed to date have intersected quartz-sulphide mineralization which typically coincide with high-grade gold mineralization.   Expansion drilling will continue to focus on extending the footprint of the Bonanza and Golden Gate Zones to the East and Northeast, as well as expanding the Surebet Zone to the West. Directional drilling consisting of multiple holes stemming from a single ‘mother' hole is being used on selected drill pads in order to minimize drill time and costs while increasing target accuracy.   Gold mineralization has been confirmed with assays from drill hole GD-26-417 expanding the Bonanza and Golden Gate zones by 540 meters to the southwest. Assays are pending on additional drill holes in these areas that could potentially confirm the expansion of the Bonanza and Golden Gate zones up to 750 meters to the southwest.   Gold mineralization has been confirmed with assays from drill hole GD-26-418 expanding the Bonanza Zone 100 meters to the north and remains open. Assays are pending on additional drill holes in these areas that could potentially confirm the expansion of the Bonanza zone up to 200 meters to the north. Drill hole GD-26-418 had two separate gold mineralization intercepts. The first from Surebet Zone, intercepted 8.09 g/t AuEq over 16.00 m, including 18.39 g/t AuEq over 6.75 meters, including 39.99 g/t AuEq over 1.00 meters and 74.67 g/t AuEq over 1.10 meters in an interval characterized by multiple occurrences of visible gold to the naked eye (VG-NE) hosted in quartz-sulphide stockwork and breccia. The second from Bonanza Zone expansion to the north that assayed 4.42 g/t AuEq over 5.00 meters, including 7.78 g/t AuEq over 2.79 meters, including 23.76 g/t AuEq over 0.90 meters; it remains open.   Gold mineralization has been confirmed with assays from drill hole GD-26-425 expanding the Bonanza Zone 100 meters to the west and remains open. Assays are pending on additional drill holes in these areas that could potentially confirm the expansion of the Bonanza zone up to 200 meters to the west.   This year's program will be mainly focused on expanding their 5 Main Mineralized Zones at the Surebet Discovery. Much of the focus on these initial holes was stepping out and expanding the Bonanza Zone and Golden Gate Zone.  Data compilation and interpretation is underway which will be used to potentially vector in on the indicated Motherlode causative intrusive source to this extensive high grade gold system with widespread VG-NE.     If you have any questions for Roger about Goliath Resources, then please email them to us at Fleck@kereport.com or 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 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.

Scott Emerson, President and CEO of Kingsmen Resources Ltd. (TSXV: KNG) (OTCQB: KNGRF) joins us for an exploration update where the company reported on July 22nd results from the first assays from its ongoing fully funded diamond drilling campaign, from hole LC-26-013, drilled on the Company's 100%-owned Las Coloradas silver project in the Parral mining district of the Central Mexican Silver Belt, Chihuahua, Mexico.   Highlights: LC-26-013 (new): 5.20 meters @ 257 g/t AgEq (114 g/t Ag) within a broader alteration zone (130.0–246.9m), including 641 g/t AgEq (425 g/t Ag) over 1.40m (236.55–237.95m) — among the highest-grade silver intercepts reported by Kingsmen to date, and the deepest hole in the Soledad fence. LC-25-010 (previously reported, Sept. 24, 2025): 1.45 meters @ 1,028 g/t AgEq (455 g/t Ag) (190.25–191.70m), including 1,742 g/t AgEq (770 g/t Ag) over 0.70m (190.85–191.55m), within a broader zone of 138 g/t AgEq over 13.35m (64.3 g/t Ag). LC-25-005 (previously reported, January 19, 2026): 15.7 meters @ 74 g/t AgEq (46 g/t Ag), including an upper zone of 704 g/t AgEq (460 g/t Ag) over 0.35m and a lower zone of 1,379 g/t AgEq (848 g/t Ag & 0.87 g/t Au) over 0.6m. Drill hole # LC-26-013, the deepest hole drilled to date at the Soledad system, intersected significant silver-gold mineralization 54 meters down-dip of previously reported hole LC-25-010, confirming that high-grade mineralization at Soledad continues to grow at depth. Together with previously reported holes, LC-25-005 and LC-25-010, the fence of three holes has now intersected silver-gold mineralization over a minimum of 135 meters of vertical depth, and a new structural target has been identified. Mineralization remains open at depth and along strike. This result demonstrates the continuity of the high- grade silver mineralization and expands the known mineralized footprint.   We go on to discuss some of the key exploration targets at Las Coloradas, based on the various data sets from mapping, sampling, historic data, and surveys flown that their team has compiled in the prioritized targets for this season.  The initial follow-up drilling has been testing deeper and stepping out around the historic Mine Target and DBD Target.  Additionally, other regional targets like Saddle, Silvia, Leona, Agilera, and La Plata areas will be tested. Then later in the year the company will transition over to drilling a number of targets at their Almoloya Project.    If you have any questions for Scott regarding Kingsmen Resources, then please email those in to us at Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to follow the latest news from Kingsmen Resources   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.

Nick Hodge, Co-Owner of Digest Publishing and editor of Foundational Profits and Underground Alpha, joins us for our monthly longer-format discussion on macroeconomic factors moving the markets, turning up the summer heat in resource stocks coming into August. He also shares portfolio management strategies in select gold, silver, copper, rare earths, and uranium stocks.   We start off reviewing some shifts in macroeconomics movers:   A reduction in strength in US Dollar, with the dollar index moving back below 100 Recent rolling over of interest rates, which had previously been rising based on anticipated hawking Fed policy from Warsh's prior meetings and statements Improving US economic data on some fronts may have the Fed in a more neutral position A desensitization of geopolitics around the US/Iran negotiations and the supposed reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. US treasury financial intervention to support Japan, staving off their potential need to liquidate US treasuries, or any rapid unwind of the carry trade. Capex investments in AI data-center build-outs are ongoing.      The conversation then transitioned from macroeconomics into recent uplift in gold, silver, and precious metals stocks. Nick is less animated by PM seasonality trends coming out of the Summer Doldrums, pointing to the changes in the US dollar and interest rates as the key factors that have led to this recent sector bounce. He mentioned that this lull in the summer doldrums in both sentiment and weak price action was a common theme from the recent Rule symposium; and conceded that in the later summer, once more investors are back from vacations and more focused on the markets again, that this may bring in more trading volumes and participation. We highlighted the wave of sector news on tap from now into September conference season. All this coming news can provide fundamental catalysts, from compelling Q2 earnings results in PM producers, to key upcoming milestones and studies for developers, and then all the summer drill programs.  Nick highlighted PM stocks moving on recent news like Revival Gold Inc. (TSXV: RVG) (OTCQX: RVLGF), Hannan Metals Limited (TSXV: HAN) (OTC: HANNF), San Lorenzo Gold Corp. (TSXV: SLG) (OTCQB: SNLGF), and Osisko Gold Group Inc. (NYSE: OGG, TSXV: OGG). He pointed out that the market is still not rewarding exploration news that shows some geological “smoke” but didn't hit “fire,” mentioning his portfolio position in Quartz Mountain Resources Ltd. (TSXV:QZM)(OTCQX:QZMRF) There are some companies with he remains animated by for all the coming assay results from ongoing drill programs like Kingsmen Resources Ltd. (TSXV: KNG) (OTCQB: KNGRF)   Next we switch over to the continued strength in copper, making new all-time highs again this week.  While we note the strong demand fundamentals, and supply constraints, Nick explains that the influx of copper into the US, and pricing arbitrage compared to London or Shanghai exchanges, may be due to investors positioning in front of potential tariff announcements on copper from the  Trump administration.   Copper stocks we discuss are Gladiator Metals Corp. (TSXV: GLAD) (OTCQB: GDTRF), Hudbay Minerals Inc. (TSX: HBM) (NYSE: HBM), and Ero Copper Corp. (TSX: ERO, NYSE: ERO).   When reviewing where Nick is seeing the most government focus in the commodities sector, he highlights it is clearly in the Critical Minerals.  While multiple sectors from uranium, to lithium, to heavy rare earths have been sold down lately, the supply chain chokepoints outside of China remain, and the fundamentals for these strategic metals continuing to improve.   Nick highlights the ongoing direct investment and policy initiatives into the rare earths processors, separators, recyclers, noting prior government investments into Trilogy Metals Inc. (NYSE American: TMQ) (TSX: TMQ), Lithium Americas Corp. (TSX: LAC) (NYSE: LAC),  MP Materials (NYSE: MP), and USA Rare Earth, Inc. (Nasdaq: USAR). He flags the recent $725 million financing commitment from the Department of War, U.S. Office of Strategic Capital, for Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) which was approved to support infrastructure and capacity to process rare earth elements and other critical materials domestically. CoTec Holdings Corp. (TSXV:CTH)(OTCQX:CTHCF) is company he remains animated by for similar reasons, due to their exposure to recycling material to extract and produce rare earth magnets and strategic materials.  He believes this could attract government interest like is has in the aforementioned companies.   Click here to follow Nick's analysis and publications over at Digest Publishing     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.

Shawn Howarth, President and CEO of Excellon Resources (TSXV:EXN) (OTC:EXNRF)(FRA:E4X2), joins me to celebrate the key company milestone of first concentrate production at their flagship 100%-owned Mallay Silver-Lead-Zinc Mine, located in central Peru. He outlines all the continued development work building towards the commissioning of the mill, and the steady ramp-up into production growth over the next few quarters.  We also review the big exploration focus for infilling mineralization, testing at deeper levels of the mine that have been dewatered, and exploration at near-mine targets.   Highlights:   First Concentrate Production: Since restarting on a pre-commissioning basis on July 2, 2026, the Mallay concentrator has operated consistently, processing approximately 12,000 tonnes of material and producing concentrates containing approximately 29,200 ounces of silver, 319,000 pounds of lead and 456,000 pounds of zinc. Initial concentrate shipments are expected in August 2026 with payment to be received during the quarter. Mill Throughput: The Company is targeting a controlled rate of approximately 400 tonnes per day during the pre-commissioning period, providing a sustained operating window for metallurgical optimization during ramp-up. 400 Ramp: The main accessway below the 4090 Level is now dewatered to the point where rehabilitation can begin. Rehabilitation of the 400 Ramp is the next step toward providing access to areas of the Mine below the 4090 Level. Drilling Underway: Three drill rigs are active, targeting confirmation drilling at depth and near-mine exploration.  Results will be reported separately. Mine Ramp-Up Underway:  Mine activities are advancing through 2026, prioritizing access below the 4090 Level where mineralization is expected to widen.  Updated mine planning and scheduling is underway.     We then briefly review the value proposition and optionality across their other 3 projects:  Tres Cerros, Kilgore, and Silver City.   Shawn points out there will be a lot of news to announce over the second half of this year and into early next year from exploration to operations at Mallay, the spin-out of Silver City, and exploration targeting at Tres Cerros and Kilgore.   Click here to follow the latest news from Excellon Resources   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.

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to review the value proposition that has his attention in 4 more advanced junior gold and copper exploration and development stocks, that have put out compelling news in the recent past and that have key alpha growth catalysts on tap in the medium-term.   The companies we discussed in the interview are:   Revival Gold Inc. (TSXV: RVG) (OTCQX: RVLGF) – On August 4, the Company reported one of the highest-grade-thickness drill intercepts to date from the Joss area at the Company's Beartrack-Arnett located in Idaho, U.S.A. This year's 5,500-meter drilling program at Beartrack-Arnett targeted the potential expansion of high-grade underground sulphide Mineral Resources, last drilled in 2022.   Hole BT26-255D intercepted: 3.43 grams per tonne ("g/T") gold over 131.7 meters drilled width at 543 meters downhole; including a high-grade interval of 6.56 g/T gold over 42.5 meters drilled width at 632 meters downhole, including 11.58 g/T gold over 12.1 meters drilled width1 at 639 meters downhole.   Westward Gold Inc. (CSE: WG, OTCQB: WGLIF) - On August 4, the Company announced assay results and mapping interpretations for the first of three trenches completed over the SSD Target (“SSD”) at the Company's Toiyabe Hills Property in Lander County, NV. The 177-metre trench – part of Westward's 468-metre program in advance of drilling – was completed near the Roberts Mountains Thrust and five gold zones were identified in the trench (using a cut-off of 0.14 g Au/t); including a significant sub-interval of 13.4 metres of 6.55 g Au/t, within 34.8 metres of 2.84 g Au/t. The ability to produce high-grade gold is a notable characteristic of major systems in the Cortez District.   Miata Metals Corp. (TSXV: MMET) (FSE: 8NQ) (OTCQX: MMETF) – On July 29, the Company announced that La Mancha Resource Fund SCSp, a fund advised by La Mancha Resource Capital LLP, has via its subsidiary agreed to upsize its previously announced strategic investment in Miata accordingly. La Mancha will purchase, through a non-brokered private placement, 32,390,229 Shares at a price of C$0.41 per Share for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately C$13,279,994, to maintain its pro forma strategic investment of 19.9% of the Company.   Red Canyon Resources Ltd. (CSE: REDC | OTCQB: REDRF | Frankfurt: I91) On July 30, the Company announced the completion of the initial phase of its planned 2,500 metre diamond drill program at its 100% owned Osiris copper–gold project in central British Columbia, originally announced on June 8, 2026. Follow-up plans include testing additional, recently upgraded drill targets.   The Company has completed eight drill holes totalling 2,079 m at the Camp target within the Osiris Project. Based on this initial drilling, the Company interprets the Camp target to host an alkalic copper-gold mineral system with geological similarities to the Mount Polley and Mount Milligan mines in British Columbia.       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 also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.     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.

Dave Erfle, Founder of the Junior Miner Junky, joins me to review the latest price action in the precious metals sector, his technical outlook, major support thresholds, and the historical cycles keeping long-term investors grounded. We also delve into why he recently added 3 new gold names to his retirement account, and key lessons learned from 3 heavily-weighted JMJ portfolio positions.   Key discussion points:   Precious Metals Could Be Building A Base For The Next Leg Higher: Gold, silver, and the PM stocks have essentially held at key support, and quit going down, with selling exhaustion showing up in the summer doldrums. It could be that the PM sector is just beginning to emerge from a multi-month correction within a larger secular bull market.   Technical Levels To Watch On The Gold Sector ETFs:  An analysis of key weekly support and resistance levels on both GDX and GDXJ.  Dave also points to the longer-term historical peaks for consideration, and even what price levels he considers the “all clear” threshold on if they are obtained.   Rotating Oil Profits Into 3 New Gold Positions: Dave shares that a few weeks back he cashed out some well-earned oil stock profits, and rotated them into 3 stocks within his personal retirement account (not the same as the Junior Mining Junk Portfolio).  We review the fundamental reasons, and importance of having a solid watchlist to pull from. Alamos Gold Inc. (TSX:AGI; NYSE:AGI) Perpetua Resources Corp. (Nasdaq: PPTA) (TSX: PPTA) New Pacific Metals Corp.

Jonathan Egilo, President and CEO of Axo Metals Corp. (TSXV: AXO), joins us for a comprehensive re-introduction to this gold, silver, and copper exploration and development company, focused on advancing and developing their San Antonio project, located in the state of Sonora, Mexico, down the pathway towards production.     We start of discussing the acquisition of the San Antonio Gold Project from Osisko Development Corp back on January 27th, which was transformational for the company.  The total resources at San Antonio stand at 576koz gold (Au) and 1.37moz silver (Ag) grading 1.20 g/t Au and 2.9g/t Ag in the Indicated category, with 544koz Au and 1.76moz Ag grading 1.02 g/t Au and 3.3g/t Ag in the Inferred category across all deposit types (oxide, transition and sulphide).    Jon points out that higher gold and silver prices today will allow for a lower cut-off grade, which will grow the resources.  Additionally the company has been conducting infill drilling, but is now stepping out with drilling to expand the know resources.  The company will be updating and releasing a Mineral Resource Estimate along with a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) later in the year.     Axo Metals announced on July 27th that the Mexican Federal Environmental Department (“SEMARNAT”) has issued a positive decision approving the Environmental Impact Statement (“Manifestos de Impacto Ambiental” or “MIA”) for the San Antonio gold project located in the State of Sonora. This landmark environmental permit approval validates the merits of the San Antonio project, and grants the primary authorization required for the construction and operation of the mine.   Jon highlights that the team is hard at work on metallurgical testing, engineering work, and assessing what will equipment will need to be added to expand the heap leach pads and get back into production next year. After the resource update and PEA is out later this year, it will help crystallize the detailed engineering and capex needed, which is modest, considering all the brownfield infrastructure already in place from prior operations.   Axo's second project is the La Huerta property, a new copper discovery in Jalisco, Mexico. Initial exploration has yielded high-grade copper both at surface through sampling programs, and at depth through initial drilling. The Company is focused on continuing to define near-surface mineralization along the La Huerta Trend, expanding mineralization at depth, and targeting new discoveries in an underexplored district.     If you have any questions for Jon regarding AXO Copper, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to follow the latest news from AXO Copper   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.

Glenn Jessome, President & CEO of Silver Tiger Metals (TSX.V:SLVR) (OTCQX:SLVTF), joins me for a visual construction update of the surface heap-leach mine; with commissioning and first pour targeted for December, 2027; at the El Tigre Silver-Gold Project in Sonora, Mexico.   We review the work already completed, the work yet to come, the future advancement of the underground mine at El Tigre, and the exploration program around the historic North Tigre Mine that is underway.   Key construction updates at El Tigre:   Build out of Mexican engineering and construction team is nearing completion with a total of 166 persons on site and 100,000-man hours logged since start of construction Detailed engineering by Kappes, Cassiday & Associates (“KCA”) and Kappes, Cassiday del Norte S de RL de CV (“KCN) pursuant to the Engineering Procurement and Construction Management Contract (“EPCM”) for the Project is proceeding on schedule Procurement on long lead items is complete, including crusher plant, conveyer and stacking system, and the Merrill-Crowe plant and refinery Land clearing, and flora/fauna management for the total construction area is 60% complete Installation of construction offices has been completed Engineering for improvements to the 46 km road built from Colonia Morelos to El Tigre is complete. The contract to improve this road has been awarded and work has begun, with 25% of road improvements complete The major earthworks contract has been awarded for the heap leach, ponds and crusher platforms and these earthworks have commenced Comision Federal de Electricidad (“CFE”) have granted access to grid electrical power for the El Tigre Project Long lead items such as crusher, conveyor, stacking and Merrill-Crowe have been ordered. Mine commissioning and first pour on track to commence in December 2027.   We discussed the larger growth plan to keep advancing the derisking and development of the underground mine at El Tigre, moving the economics from the current Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) to a PFS, and some of the synergistic advantages of having a large build team and engineers on site for the surface heap-leach mine, that can then transition over to working on the underground, reducing down some of the assumed upfront capex in the PEA.   Additionally, the Company is now expanding the scope across their district-scale land package, and has been conducting exploration drilling targeting the high-potential vein systems north of the main El Tigre area, near the historic North Tigre Mine. This priority zone aligns directly with the El Tigre North Mine Design outlined in Section 24 of the Company's recently filed PEA (dated January 20, 2026). First results will start being released to the market in the months to come.   If you have any follow up questions for Glenn regarding Silver Tiger Metals, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Silver Tiger Metals 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 Silver Tiger Metals   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.

[Recorded July 28, 2026]  Sean Brodrick, Editor of Wealth Megatrends, Supercycle Investor, Resource Trader, and contributing analyst to Weiss Ratings Daily, joins us to discuss his investing outlook 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 gold, silver, PM stocks,  A.I. Stocks, chip stocks, value stocks, and oil stocks.     The conversation kicks off around the precious metals sector, getting Sean's outlook on what fundamentals are driving gold, the gold stocks, and silver.   Sean acknowledged the bearish price action in gold and gold stocks since the tops in late January and February to present, and would like to see the PMs just quit going down and stop making lower lows. He points out that the world is sick of the weaponization of the US dollar, and so more central banks have been increasing their exposure to gold on their balance sheets, while diversifying out of the dollar and US treasuries. He is generally constructive on the upcoming Q2 earnings which has just gotten underway, where producer margins were still very robust, even despite the higher energy inputs for the quarter. Even if gold and silver continue to channel sideways then he still believes there are opportunities at present to pick up quality PM stocks.     Next we dove into the rotation in the general US equities out of some of the mega-cap tech leadership and out into other value sectors of the market. Sectors like financials, healthcare, insurance, and companies generating large amounts of revenues from traditional businesses are providing more “certainty” in very volatile times and headlines. Chinese A.I. platforms and chip companies could be quite disruptive to US tech companies, and this has roiled foreign stock markets like Korea and Taiwan. Defense stocks, both traditional names and the next generation defense names in drones and counter-drones may be waking back up. A recent Trump administration executive order focused on military contractors and the government focused on sourcing parts their supply chains from domestic sources, which may be a benefit to critical minerals stocks operating in the friendly trade partner sphere of influence.   Wrapping up we get Sean's outlook on the wild headline driving oil price movements from the $60s up to the $90s and back down into the $70s, and how that may play into current opportunities in the energy stocks.   Sean is hanging on to his energy stocks for now, especially if they have solid fundamentals at these current prices, and pay a good dividend. If the geopolitical tensions do calm down again, then he would be looking at accumulating more oil stocks if the WTI price got back down close to $70 again.       Click here to follow along with Sean's work at Weiss Ratings Daily and Wealth Megatrends .

Mark Brennan, Founder, CEO, and Director of Cerrado Gold Inc (TSX.V: CERT) (OTCQX: CRDOF), joins me to review their Q2 2026 operational metrics at the producing Minera Don Nicolas (MDN) gold mine in Argentina.  We discuss the increased life of mine and MDN due to the acquisition of the adjacent Falcon Properties, and the ongoing 70,000 meter exploration program, both at surface and now with an underground drill rig. Additionally we get an update on the permitting process at the Lagoa Salgada VMS Project in Portugal and ongoing tradeoff studies for the coming Feasibility Study  at the Mont Sorcier Iron Project in Quebec.   Q2 2026 MDN Operating Highlights: Q2 Production of 15,415 vs 11,437 GEO in Q2 2025, 2026 first half Production of 28,257 vs 22,600 GEO in 2025 Heap leach production improved to deliver 9,981 GEO in the quarter Underground development work continued; leading to increased production for H2/26 CIL plant continues to process a blend of stockpile material with an increasing mix of ore from underground operations, resulting in total production of 5,434 GEO in Q2 Acquisition of Falcon Properties has the potential to extend Heap Leach operations based on historical drill results. Combined with the existing exploration program, the acquisition is expected to position the mine to add new mineable material quickly Full year production guidance of 50,000-60,000 GEO maintained   Mark and I review their Minera Don Nicolas producing gold project in Argentina, and the combination of heap leach and underground gold equivalent ounce production for the second quarter. He also highlighted the advantages of the Falcon Properties acquisition, and how it adds years to the existing heap leach mine life, as well as substantial exploration upside.  We discuss the key objectives from the ongoing 70,000 meter drill program will be looking to extend the project mine life in a substantial way and find new high-grade areas, at surface and underground, for future mine sequencing.   On June 17th, the Cerrado gold announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Redcorp - Empreendimentos Mineiros, Lda. (“Redcorp”) has been granted the injunctive relief it sought in connection with the opinion of the Portuguese Environmental Agency (Agência Portuguesa do Ambiente – “APA”). Granting of the injunction has the effect of suspending the effects of the APA opinion while the legal action commenced by Redcorp to overturn APA's opinion continues to progress. This decision ensures that Redcorp continues to hold its concession contract and PIN classification for the Lagoa Salgada project valid and in good standing.  Mark said the board and management team remain very constructive that a resolution will be found and were pleased that the court agreed with their position.   On July 15th the Company announced that it has elected to extend the completion date of the Bankable Feasibility Study at its Mont Sorcier high grade iron project in Quebec, led by Voyager Metals, a 100% owned subsidiary of Cerrado Gold, to review numerous optimization and trade off opportunities that have been identified during the BFS process as having the potential to materially enhance the overall value of the project.  Key Optimization Focus Areas Include: Enhanced Mine plan to reduce Overall Strip Ratio, Tailing Dam Construction, CAPEX and OPEX review in light of Ongoing Regional Inflation, Trade-off in Concentrate Quality vs Premium Price.   We wrap up discussing the underappreciated current valuation that the company is receiving for the producing MDN mine in Argentina, for both the development-stage Lagoa Salgada and large Net Present Value of the Mont Sorcier Project.     If you have questions for Mark regarding Cerrado Gold, then please email those to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Cerrado Gold at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to see the latest news from Cerrado Gold.   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.

We are joined by Michael Rowley, President & CEO and Dr. Danie Grobler, Vice President of Exploration of Stillwater Critical Minerals (TSX.V: PGE – OTCQB: PGEZF), live in the core shack at site, to provide a visual update of the key exploration work completed to date, the primary initiatives on tap for 2026, and the value proposition at the Stillwater West Ni-PGE-Cu-Co + Au project in Montana.   Mike outlines that their Stillwater West Project is a very large polymetallic resource with a substantial copper inventory and the largest nickel project in an active U.S. mining district, in addition to palladium, platinum, rhodium, copper, cobalt, chromium, and gold. Overall, 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.   Danie shares an overview of the structural controls of the geological environment that hosts the mineralization, 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.   He goes on to outline why their 2025 exploration initiatives were successful and shows how there are several mineralized events in the sulfides bringing in pockets of higher-grade polymetallic zones within the overall bulk tonnage type of deposit   Danie highlights what they are learning from the geophysical surveys over their district-scale land package, and why their team has high-confidence in the ongoing 2026 drill program, to keep stepping out along the parameters and character of this mineralized trend.   Highlights and upcoming catalysts:   The updated MRE due out in Q3 will incorporate 14 drill holes totaling 5,781 meters (“m”) from the 2023 and 2025 programs, plus about a dozen select historic holes not included in the current estimate. The update will build upon the January 25, 2023, Inferred Mineral Resource and results will support further technical studies and economic assessments. The work is being led by Mr. Timothy Kuhl (MTS) and Dr. Danie Grobler (Stillwater) who together previously worked with the late Dr. Harry Parker on the resource estimation and technical reports for Ivanhoe Mines' Platreef Mine. Assays are pending from fresh drill core coming off the mountain in the 2026 program. Thus far the anticipated structural controls are holding up as expected.       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     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.

Robert Vallis, President, CEO, and Director of Tiger Gold Corp. (TSXV: TIGR) (OTCQB: TGRGF) (FSE: D150), joins me for an exploration update on the assay results returned for three drillholes from its Ceibal target at its Quinchía Gold Project in Colombia's prolific Mid-Cauca gold belt.   We review how results like this at Ceibal will be expanding the known 2 million ounces of gold resources, in all categories, already delineated from the Miraflores and Tesorito deposit areas. Additionally we discuss the blue-sky upside in a number of other regional targets across their district-scale land package.   Drilling at Ceibal has outlined a northwest to north-northwest trending mineralized corridor with an apparent strike length of at least 300 metres and an apparent width of approximately 375 metres. Mineralization has been traced to approximately 800 metres vertically below surface and remains open at depth. The geometry, true thickness, extent, and continuity of mineralization have not been defined at this early stage of exploration, and the corridor remains open to the northwest, southeast, and southwest.   Highlights: CEDDH-011 intersected 685.35 m @ 0.6 g/t Au from surface and ended in mineralization including 7 m @ 1.0 g/t Au from 7 m downhole including 8 m @ 1.1 g/t Au from 42 m downhole including 12 m @ 1.5 g/t Au from 66 m downhole including 20 m @ 1.2 g/t Au from 86 m downhole including 16 m @ 1.2 g/t Au from 438 m downhole including 6 m @ 1.8 g/t Au from 660 m downhole CEDDH-012 intersected 568.4 m @ 0.6 g/t Au from 309.5 m downhole, extending mineralization to approximately 800 m below surface including 5 m @ 1.0 g/t Au from 485 m downhole including 16.75 m @ 1.0 g/t Au from 784 m downhole including 12 m @ 1.2 g/t Au from 845 m downhole including 12 m @ 1.2 g/t Au from 864 m downhole CEDDH-013 intersected 536 m @ 0.4 g/t Au from surface including 6 m @ 1.2 g/t Au from 6 m downhole including 6 m @ 1.2 g/t Au from 90 m downhole including 10 m @ 1.2 g/t Au from 102 m downhole including 6 m @ 1.1 g/t Au from 118m downhole   Drillholes CEDDH-014 and CEDDH-016 were collared approximately 165 metres and 220 metres northwest of CEDDH-013, along the interpreted apparent trend of the corridor, and were designed to test the northwesterly extent of the mineralized corridor beyond the area drilled to date. Drillhole CEDDH-015 was collared approximately 210 metres southeast of CEDDH-003 and was designed to test the southeasterly extent of the apparent mineralized corridor. Assays for all three holes are pending and will be reported in a subsequent news release.      Robert then highlights its broader 20,000-metre drill program with three diamond drill rigs, including one rig doing infill drilling at Tesorito and two rigs at Ceibal will support the continued definition and expansion of the project into an updated Mineral Resource Estimate in Q1 of 2027, which will then update the 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) with enhanced economics.   Wrapping up we touch up the even further bluesky exploration potential at depth under Tesorito and Ceibal, and the near-surface drill targets their team has been refining at the nearby Chuscal gold-copper target, and the untested corridor along the faults up into the Northeastern regional targets. There is also the 500,000 ounces of historic gold resources at Dos Quebradas to the Northwest.       If you have any follow up questions for Robert regarding Tiger Gold then please email those to me at  Shad@kereport.com.     Click here to follow the latest news at Tiger Gold Corp     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, {Substack https://rubino.substack.com/}, joins us for another wide-ranging discussion around the strong financial health of the gold and silver producers and royalty companies as we head into Q2 earnings season later this week.   We also discuss his outlook on the potential for more mergers and acquisitions, what stage of developer he is animated by, his outlook on royalty stocks, and the copper sector.   While Q2 earnings are not going to be as big as the record underlying metals prices seen in Q1,  John believes the gold and silver producers will still report very solid revenues, because the average metals prices were the 2nd highest of any other quarter in history.  The caveat is that with the overall sector trend having been lower for the last 6 months in the underlying gold and silver prices, that this is what ultimately affects investor sentiment and stock price direction. The metals price direction is seemingly more germane than strong fundamentals, earnings, or value creation. We debate whether the valuations in PM producers, which are now down closer to where they were back in Q3 and Q4 2025 are at a mismatch, considering the margins were still much larger in Q2 than those quarters. Many PM producers crashed down 40%-60% during the exact same time that they still generated near-record revenues and cashflows on their balance sheets. We discuss where all that cash piling up has been going over the last few quarters as a return of capital to shareholders in share buybacks, new or increasing dividends, and why we aren't seeing even more merger and acquisition transactions in this kind of environment.   John then distinguishes between the boring versus the opportune time to accumulate quality PM developers, to maximize the 2nd leg of the Lassonde Curve.  There is a typical lull in quality exploration stocks once they put out a resource estimate and put early-stage PEA economics on a project. Early-stage developers then face years of permitting, metallurgical and engineering studies, definition drilling, and the boring “orphan phase” of the Lassonde Curve; when speculators lose interest and rotate out to go chase other short-term catalysts. John likes to focus on companies once they already have a compelling Feasibility Study in place and are closer to the construction decision, increasing their likelihood to become a takeover target by a larger company. In general, John is more skeptical of explorers that become developers having the skillsets to build mines on their own, but he stresses that it really comes down to analyzing the management teams for their past track records, and the capabilities of their board and team. Some select smaller to mid-tier producers, that bought divested mines from the majors, can also use those cashflows from operations at these higher metals prices to fuel and fund the progress on key flagship development projects.     Next, we point out how the royalty companies, that don't have cost creep due to rising energy expenses or large labor costs, have still been chopped down by 30%-40% along with the rest of the PM sector; which makes little sense from a valuation standpoint. John feels this is a prime example of an inefficient market where the fall in share prices and market caps creates a growing value proposition. He'll be using low-ball bids and weakness in the royalty stocks to keep accumulating. His outlook is that we will continue to see a number of potential M&A deals in the royalty stocks, and this gives him comfort to go down the food chain into the mid-tier and smaller stocks, as they likely will be acquired by large companies with a better valuation multiple in the fullness of time.   Wrapping up we review the continued strength in the copper price, holding up near all-time highs, and why he remains longer-term bullish due to supply/demand fundamentals. The caveat John mentions is that if there is a softening in AI data center buildouts, or if the Chinese AI platforms compete with domestic AI platforms, or if we see the lofty valuations in US equities roll over hard, in the near to medium-term, then this could also pressure copper and copper stocks to the downside.   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.

Terry Harbort, President and CEO of Talisker Resources (TSX: TSK) (OTCQX:TSKFF), joins me to review the continued success sampling high-grade gold over broad strike lengths from underground development on the 1045 Level at the Mustang Mine at the Bralorne Gold Project, British Columbia, Canada. We also discuss their recent loan for purchasing ore-sorting equipment, the acquisition of Ben Nevis property, and the big-picture vision for the company's future growth into multiple mines and satellite areas across their district.   The Company has successfully developed at the 1045 level on a continuous 127-metre strike length of high-grade gold mineralization along the BK-9870 Vein, averaging 21.52 grams per tonne (g/t) gold across an average true width of 0.83 metres.  Terry outlines that these encouraging results provide further validation of Talisker's geological model, demonstrating increasing grade and improved continuity of mineralized structures with depth within the Mustang Mine. This was after the company had recently reported on previous results from the BK vein that returned a 60m strike length at 27g/t also on the 1045m level, and their team is pleased that lateral development at Mustang is returning results well beyond initial expectations. He mentioned they are awaiting upcoming assays from development on the 1105m level above and from the new 1030m level, 15m below the 1045.   Next we discussed the news out July 17th which announced that the Company has entered into a loan agreement with Two Shores Capital Corp. for a delayed-draw term loan of up to $11.0 million to fund the acquisition of ore sorting and processing equipment.  Terry mentions that they've already purchased the equipment, and some of the front-end crushing machinery is already showing up to site and then walks listeners through the timeline of final on-site testing of the ore sorting in the latter part of this year, and that it may impact run-of-mine material and show a significant reduction in waste rock as soon as H1 2027.   Additionally, we discussed the news out on July 13th that announced their acquisition of a 100% interest in the Ben Nevis property located contiguous to the Company's Bralorne Gold Project in southwestern British Columbia from Coast Copper Corp. The Property is strategically located south of the current Bralorne Gold Project and comprises 16 mineral tenure claims totaling 10,404.15 hectares. The expanded land package lies southeast along the strike of the Cadwallader fault system which hosts the Bralorne deposits. The new property expansion adds seven historic mineral occurrences and strengthens the Company's exploration position by increasing the Bralorne Gold Project to 24,000 hectares spanning a 40-kilometre long mineralized district.     If you have any follow up questions for Terry regarding Talisker Resources, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Talisker 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 Talisker Resources     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.
