Shane Williams, President and CEO Of West Red Lake Gold Mines (TSX.V:WRLG – OTCQB:WRLGF), joins me to review the key metrics from Q2 operations which demonstrated substantially higher mined ounces and gold produced at their flagship Madsen Gold Project, in the Red Lake district of Ontario, Canada.    Q2 Operating Highlights   Mined tonnage increased 46% to 75,524 tonnes in Q2 from 51,616 tonnes in Q1, while mined ounces increased 73% to 10,459 ounces from 6,033 ounces in the first quarter, reflecting both higher mining rates and an increase in average mined grade. Gold production totaled 8,576 ounces during Q2 2026, representing a 51% increase from the 5,667 ounces produced in Q1 2026. Due to increased mine productivity a surface stockpile of approximately 10,768 tonnes had been generated by the end of Q2 representing approximately 1,500 contained ounces of gold based on estimated grades. The mill achieved average processing rates of approximately 842 tonnes per day (“tpd”). Over the second half of 2026, processing rates are expected to increase to approximately 1,000 tpd.     Shane reviewed that the development-focused strategy implemented during the first half of 2026 is now translating into measurable operating improvements as mine sequencing advanced to unlock multiple stoping fronts and operational flexibility continued to improve.  Additionally, all the exploration success had at the 4447 Zone is now factoring into mining and production here in H2, and he points to all the recent success at the 904 Zone having a similar trajectory with first mining anticipated in H2 of 2027.   Next we discussed the higher All-In Sustaining Costs (AISC) in Q4 and Q1 and how the ongoing ramp-up in production will steadily lower the costs over the next few quarters.  Shane highlighted that in the second half of this year that the shaft will be rehabilitated and begin hoisting ore, and this will further drive down costs over the next few quarters. The steady nameplate run-of-mine production and costs will likely be achieved in 2027 and beyond.  We also discussed that the higher oil and diesel prices were not a major cost input and have very muted effect on their underground mining operations where the site mostly runs on cheap hydroelectric power.   We then discussed the next phase of growth which will see satellite deposits like Fork, Starratt-Olsen, and eventually Rowan augment the production at Lower Austin and Austin South at Madsen.   The Company will be putting out a Pre-Feasibility Study in September wrapping updated economics around Madsen and factoring in how future production from Rowan would increase production growth and take the company to the next level of producer.   Wrapping up we discussed the many areas of focus for exploration and resource expansion, including greenfield surface targets, past producing brownfield areas like Starratt-Olsen and Mt Jamie, and underground targets as the company continues to dewater areas of Madsen that haven't been touched by modern exploration or mining; with last mining occurring back in the 1960s and 1970s.     If you have any follow up questions for the team over at West Red Lake Gold please email 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 visit the West Red Lake Gold website and read over the recent news we discussed.      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 me for an exploration update reviewing the visual takeaways and geological interpretation from the first 10 holes from the 2026 drill program at the Surebet Discovery on the Golddigger Property; located in the Golden Triangle, B.C. Multiple step-out intercepts of gold-bearing mineralization have expanded the Bonanza Zone by 750 meters to the southwest, the Golden Gate Zone by 400 meters to the south and 200 meters to the north.   The Company is in a strong financial position with a fully funded large 50,000 meter expansion drill program lined up in 2026, that will be testing the limits of the mineralization, as well as pushing the geological thesis and their understanding of the multiple types of gold mineralization.   All drill holes completed thus far during the 2026 drill campaign have intersected quartz-sulphide mineralization which generally corresponds to high-grade gold mineralization. 10 out of 107 planned drill holes have been completed with a total of 4,983 m drilled in 2026. Visible gold to the naked eye (VG-NE) has been intersected in multiple veins and shear zones from 6 out of 10 holes drilled in 2026, continuing to confirm the consistency of the mineralization within the Surebet system that remains wide open in multiple directions Assays are pending on all 2026 drill holes completed to date. 5 drill rigs are turning at present, and 2 more rigs are on-site and will start up in a week.   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 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 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.

Jack Henris, President and COO, and Shawn Campbell, CFO of Dakota Gold (NYSE American: DC), both join me for a visual exploration and development update on their Richmond Hill Oxide Heap Leach Gold Project; located in the historic Homestake District of South Dakota, near existing mining infrastructure. We review all the drill results from 2025 and 2026 that will be incorporated into the upcoming resource estimate and Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) in Q4, and the timeline of key development studies that will feed into updated Feasibility Study economics in 2027. We also highlight the upcoming drill program at their Maitland Gold Project, which will lead into a maiden resource estimate.   We start off with Shawn reviewing the existing site and regional infrastructure advantages along with the resources at Richmond Hill that were defined in prior years drilling, while Jack outlined the key economic metrics as outlined in the existing SK-1300 Internal Assessment of Cash Flow (IACF).  Richmond Hill is one of the largest undeveloped oxide gold resources in the United States being advanced by a junior mining company, with over 6 million ounces of gold and over 60 million ounces of silver moving along the pathway of development into heap leach production as soon as 2029.   The 2026 Drill Campaign is now complete, and it totaled 17,273 meters of infill, expansion, and geotechnical drilling across 112 holes. Results from the 2025 and 2026 drill campaigns at Richmond Hill are being incorporated into a Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) in the fourth quarter of 2026. The exploration team has been encouraged by the series of solid results from the northeast expansion drilling, which continues to identify higher-grade zones that complement the large heap-leachable resource at Richmond Hill. This data will support an updated mineral resource estimate, refine the geo-metallurgical model, and deliver a single optimized mine plan with sequencing. Jack highlighted that the results being intercepted in the Northeast Project area contain much higher grades than the average overall resource grade. These results have encouraged their team to consider trade-off studies for the upcoming Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), to potentially access these higher-grade areas in the first several years of mining. These trade-off studies that will factor into the upcoming PFS will be analyzing the fine-tuning of the project economics around the grade optimization, mine optimization, amount of material processed, and run-of-mine streamlining.   Supported by their $107 million cash position as of March 31, 2026, Shawn pointed out that this strong capital position has allowed the Company to announce that they've secured the electrical substation build slot and are advancing engineering, site layout, and operational readiness along the project's critical path. These workstreams will go above and beyond reporting reserves in 2026 PFS, and metallurgical test results and engineering studies will then inform the Feasibility Study to be completed in the first half of 2027.   Shawn reviews the maps of where the key site build-out will go on the private land, but also highlighted the potential to expand the Richmond Hill Project out beyond into the forest service lands in the fullness of time.  There was information shared that there is also opportunities in the future for the sulphide material underneath the oxide material at Richmond Hill.   Wrapping up, Jack shares that the drill program for this year just got underway at the Maitland Gold Project, with 5,578 meters (18,300 feet) planned over 44 holes. The goal of this infill drilling, when combined with historic drill results, will be to define a maiden resource for the Tertiary-aged Unionville gold Zone. There may be some additional work into the JB Gold Zone which has iron formation mineralization similar to the Homestake Mine style of gold mineralization.       If you have any questions for Jack or Shawn regarding Dakota Gold, then please email those to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Dakota Gold 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 Dakota Gold   Click here to view the YouTube Version of this interview:      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 us to for a conversation around how he is navigating this low pricing, low sentiment, low news, and low volume Summer Doldrums period in his portfolio.   This includes how he is approaching advanced developers versus earlier stage developers, and the spectrum of different gold and silver exploration companies.   We start off discussing the overall sector sentiment is mirroring the bearish metals and miners pricing backdrop.  This is also evidenced in the very low volume levels in trading the last couple months from the large producers and sector ETFs all the way down to the junior PM stocks.  There has not been nearly as much newsflow as anticipated across the space, where some companies have either sat on some news or scaled down their anticipated work programs.   Erik discusses how he is still animated by companies that have work catalysts that can impact their valuations and create alpha in the sector, and prefers those over more mature companies that have work programs that may only move the needle incrementally, and get stuck moving with sector beta and metals price direction.     * 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.   Click here to follow Erik's analysis over at The Hedgeless Horseman website    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.

This surpasses the 84,953 tons of ore produced in the fourth quarter of 2025 and represents a new quarterly record for McCreedy West under Magna ownership. The average grade of the 66,445 tons of ore shipped during April and May is 3.55% copper equivalent (“CuEq”), based on the commodity prices assumed in the Company's 2026 production and cost guidance. Final assays are pending for ore shipped in June but average grades for Q2 are anticipated to be near the upper end of the full year guidance range. Underground development at McCreedy West during the quarter is anticipated to exceed 2,350 feet, also a record under Magna ownership. McCreedy West has achieved a Total Reportable Injury Frequency Rate (“TRIFR”) of 0.0.   Numerous pieces of well-maintained underground equipment have been acquired from a nearby Sudbury operation that is moving into a state of closure for a total price of less than $1 million, well below market rates for equivalent used or new equipment. This equipment will be repurposed for use at the Company's Levack Mine and to support other Magna projects in the Sudbury Basin with potential savings expected to be in the range of $9-12 million.     On July 6, 2026, the Company announced a non-brokered private placement financing with Alpayana S.A.C. to purchase 62,222,222 common shares of the Company at a price of C$2.25 per Share for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately C$140,000,000. At closing of the Offering, Alpayana is expected to hold approximately 19.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Magna.  Jason unpacked how the transaction came together, the shared values and business approaches between the 2 companies, and how this capital accelerates a dual-track development of both Levack and Crean Hill into commercial production by 2028.   The Company is planning to release a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) for the Levack Mine in parallel with work to re-establish ore and waste hoisting capabilities during Q3.  At present those economics will not include the high-grade drilling completed to date at the R2 Footwall Zone. We reviewed the continued high-grade drill results across copper, nickel, platinum, palladium, gold, and silver in more recent assays returned from the ongoing exploration and development work at the Levack Mine. Jason highlights that a development drift is being implemented to support ongoing underground exploration of this area, for the potential of future implementation into development plans.   Next we review the ongoing workstreams for Crean Hill that will be feeding into the upcoming PFS later this year.  He notes that the significantly higher precious metals today compared to back in 2022 will be a factor that plays into the updated economics, and maps out that the ramp up into production could commence as early as H2 2027.   We wrap up discussing that the prior-producing Poldosky Mine and the development-stage Shakespeare Project are still both permitted assets of merit and will feed the development cue as mines number 4 and 5 further down the road.      Click here to follow along with the news at Magna Mining   If you have questions for Jason regarding Magna Mining, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Magna 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 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 7, 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 energy sectors in the current macroeconomic environment. He shares how he is managing his portfolio as it relates to gold, gold stocks, oil, oil stocks, A.I. Stocks, and those infrastructure stocks adjacent to the massive A.I. datacenter buildouts.   The conversation kicks off around the precious metals sector, noting that the extreme selling pressure and downside momentum has stalled and that we did see a recent small bounce in gold and gold stocks off their lows since the middle of last week. Sean acknowledged the bear market 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. We discussed the growing number of calls for entering a more a bullish period of seasonality, where the PM sector often bottoms in late July into early August. Sean has been nibbling a little bit on quality PM producers into the overall sector correction, such as Aura Minerals (NASDAQ: AUGO), but ultimately wants to see more follow-through strength and a definitive break up out of the bearish downtrend, before getting more aggressive in adding to new positions. He is constructive on the upcoming Q2 earnings, where producer margins were still very robust, even despite the higher energy inputs for the quarter. Now with oil prices down very close to levels before the war started, he'll also be reviewing carefully the forward guidance from companies as it relates to projected costs for Q3.   Next we dove further into the WTI oil price movements into the $70s, and how that may play into current opportunities in the energy stocks, along with expectations around Fed policy. Sean his hanging on to his energy stocks for now, especially if they have solid fundamentals at these current prices, and pay a good dividend. He sees the markets as having become very tilted to overly hawkish expectations from Kevin Warsh's comments on price stability in lieu of rising inflation concerns. It's possible that we may see 1 token rate hike from the Fed later in the year, but then it's more likely to see neutral to dovish policies take back over, especially if energy prices stay in the $70s or low $80s and inflation moderates.   Sean weighs in on the narratives circulating about the potential overspend and over-commitment from big tech companies into the AI datacenter buildout.  Sean already exited profitable positions in the semiconductor chips, and recently pulled a 2nd wave of profits in most of the companies he held in his portfolio exposed to the infrastructure buildout of AI data centers, like Sterling Infrastructure, Inc. (NasdaqGS: STRL). He notes several large mega-cap tech companies like Meta and Google now renting out some of their A.I. capacity as sign of an overbuild in compute; and draws parallels to the overbuild of fiberoptic cable during the dotcom bubble of the late 1990s into the internet stock crash in 2000-2001. The rise of China's less costly and equally efficient A.I. platforms pose a threat to domestic tech companies and may temper any further advances. He points to the dangerous trends of previously cashflowing tech companies pivoting from profitability to now taking on massive amounts of corporate debt to keep building more compute capacity. Sean outlined that there needs to be a market rationalization for how much further compute capacity and infrastructure buildout is actually needed, and that this industry may be out over its skis at this point.   Click here to follow along with Sean's work at Weiss Ratings Daily and Wealth Megatrends .

Tim Shearcroft, CEO and Co-Founder of BP Silver Corp. (TSX.V: BPAG) (OTCQB: BPSCF), joins me for an exploration update now that the 2,000-meter Phase 2 drill program has begun at the Cosuño Silver Project in Bolivia. This Phase 2 drilling forms 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 If you have any questions for Tim regarding BP Silver, then please email those into me at Shad@kereport.com.     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.

In this Daily Editorial, Craig Hemke, Founder and Publisher of the TF Metals Report, joins me to discuss the moderating of the peak hawkishness in the markets around inflation and Fed policy expectations over the last couple weeks.  Softening expectations have provided the conditions for the precious metals to begin to bottom and build a base, while lifting sector sentiment.  We dive into the technical outlook for gold, silver, and PM equity prices, counterbalanced against the macroeconomic backdrop.   Key Discussion points:   Craig comments on pricing in gold, silver, and PM ETFs holding steady over the last week and not going down any further; and making a slight move higher. There was legitimate chart damage done as pricing broke below the 200-day moving average, and 50-week moving averages as a ‘piling on' effect from the peak hawkishness in the markets.  However, if things calm down in these summer months and pricing consolidates through time, then those moving averages will coalesce and smooth out. This could rhyme with last summer's sideways consolidation period, where the moving averages narrowed and built the energy for the short-duration price averages to break above the longer-duration price average to kick off the next leg higher in the bull market. He believes most of the corrective move has now happened at this point; noting that every time gold moved below $4,000 that we witnessed strong buying come in to snap it back up over that level. Craig reiterated that even if 2026 was to end the year flat and somewhere around the $4,340 level where it opened this year, that this would be solid performance after the outsized gains in gold on a percentage basis from 2024 and 2025. Gold producers were chopped in half, on extreme negative sentiment from the falling metals prices paired with rising energy prices ever since the war broke out in March.   Later in July and into August we'll start getting the actual Q2 earnings reports from the PM producers, and Craig feels that they may surprise many investors to the upside.  The average price of the metals and margins actually were higher than many quarters from last year, and definitely a stark difference compared to Q2 of 2025, for the year-over-year comparisons. Additionally, the actual effect of the higher oil prices on producers input costs versus the perceptions will be another key data point to follow. The fear around higher energy prices was the rationale many used to drop the valuation in producers by 40%-60%, even though the energy inputs only come in around 10%-15% of costs, and  so the concerns were way overblown by skittish investors throughout Q2. As we receive Q3 guidance, it will come at time where oil prices are essentially right back down to where they were at before the war even began, which should bake those concerns back out of the cost estimates. The Fed funds futures have swung to both extremes, coming into the year expecting 2 rate cuts, and flip-flopping by going to peak hawkishness and pricing in 2 rate hikes just a few weeks back, after Kevin Warsh's first press conference post FOMC meeting. Craig expects that as we get more data and those inflation expectations start to equilibrate, that the market will shift to more neutral Fed policy guidance moving into the Fall, which will be a boon for the precious metals sector. All eyes will be on the CPI and PPI  numbers 2 weeks from now for more clarity on the trend in inflation.      Click here to visit Craig's website – TF Metals Report – https://www.tfmetalsreport.com/       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.

In this Daily Editorial, I chat with TG Watkins, Director of Stocks at Simpler Trading and Editor of the Profit Pilot website. The rotation trend continues from mega-cap tech leadership out into a variety of market sectors, and then some sectors that have been under selling pressure, may have found short-term support for tradable rallies. TG provides the technical signals he is watching in tech, biotech, housing, cryptos, gold, copper, critical minerals, and oil.   Key Discussion Points Broad Market Expansion: Discover why the current rally is broadening out significantly beyond just mega-cap tech giants, and how the Russell 2000 (IWM) and equal-weight S&P (RSP) are showcasing underlying market strength. Interest Rates & Inflation Outlook: TG shares his contrarian perspective on bonds, and why he is looking to buy dips in the (TLT), in anticipation of neutral rates for now and eventual dovish monetary policy.  If rates have topped out for now, then this creates a favorable backdrop for small cap stocks, like Rice Acquisition Corp (KRSP), and consumer stocks with a traditionally higher cost of capital. Strength in Housing Stocks: This environment of peak interest rates that may roll over lower, is also constructive for real estate & housing, where he has noted recent strength in State Street SPDR S&P Homebuilder ETF (XHB), Opendoor Technologies (OPEN), and AirBnB Inc (ABNB). Surging Biotech Stocks: Biotech stocks have been very strong recently, but may be reaching buying exhaustion soon. TG has had his subscribers long the sector since May in ETFs like ARK Genomic Revolution ETF (ARKG),  Direxion Shares Daily S&P Biotech Bull 3X ETF (LABU), Tempus AI (TEM), and Intellia Therapeutics (NTLA). The Cryptos Are Seeking Support: From the shifting dynamic of crypto miners into AI power generation to a technical breakdown of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and crypto repositories - find out if a digital asset turnaround is on the horizon. We look at the cryptos themselves like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and crypto-adjacent equities like MicroStrategy (MSTR), TeraWulf (WULF), Iris Energy (IREN), Galaxy Digital (GLXY). Precious Metals Have Only Provided Bounces In Downtrends: An in-depth look at where Gold (GLD), Silver (SLV), and the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) might find technical support, after breaking down through key moving averages the last few months.  Thus far all we've seen is relief rallies in broader PM downtrends. Copper Has Been Rangebound:  When contrasted against many metals, Copper and copper stocks have been more resilient, but have been in a whipsaw trendless market over the last few weeks.  TG has sold out of copper stocks like Trekor Metals Ltd {formerly Taseko}, (TGB) and Southern Copper Corp (SCCO) until he sees more solid technical evidence of a break and trend in one direction or another. Critical Minerals Overbought and Taking A Breather:  After outsized moves this year, the narrative adjustment in AI datacenters and media focus, has seen the critical minerals stocks roll over after getting overbought on the charts.  The VanEck Rare Earth/Strategic Metals ETF (REMX) and lithium and energy storage leaders like Albemarle Corp ALB have been rolling over after solid runs in 2026. Oil Was A Short A Few Weeks Back, But May See A Bounce:   TG noted the geopolitical effects on the oil price, after the MOU was signed between the US and Iran ending the hot war, but sees oil as technically oversold at this point. The technically oversold setup is similar in the State Street Energy Select Sector Index SPDR ETF (XLE), where a short-term relief rally would not be a surprise.   Click here to visit TG's site – Profit Pilot – https://www.profit-pilot.com/   Click here to visit the Profit Pilot YouTube page – https://www.youtube.com/@Profit-Pilo   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.

Drew Clark, President and CEO of Summit Royalties Ltd. (TSX.V: SUM) (OTCQX: SUMMF), joins me to outline the transformational acquisition of Star Royalties Ltd. (TSXV: STRR, OTCQX: STRFF), which closed on July 3rd, 2026. The Arrangement materially expands Summit's portfolio with the addition of Star's royalty and streaming interests, including a 4% gold stream on Mining Americas Inc.'s (formerly Minera Alamos Inc.) Copperstone Project in Arizona.   The Copperstone gold stream provides Summit Royalties with exposure to a fully permitted Arizona gold development project where Mining Americas recently announced a positive pre-feasibility study and a formal construction decision. Based on the PFS results and current estimates, project construction is expected to take approximately one year, with initial production of 46,000 oz of gold per year anticipated by mid-2027.   Drew highlighted the upside potential to continue to grow the underground resources of the Copperstone Mine, considering Mining Americas having just announced a planned increase in the mill throughput from 600tpd to 1000tpd. Additionally, Mining Americas just announced there is a portion of resources outside of the PFS that exist in near-surface areas in proximity to the historic open pit excavations, and the Company believes there is potential for gold mineralization to be extracted via open pit mining methods.  This open pit was not even factored in the initial valuation process, and Drew mentioned it was now like getting a gold stream on 2 mines for the price of 1.     Together with their existing portfolio, including a royalty on Jaguar Mining's near-term producing Pitangui Project, where development is expected to commence in 2026 with first gold production targeted in 2027, this acquisition transaction of the gold stream on Copperstone strengthens the Company's future revenue and cash flow growth.     With the closing of the Arrangement, Summit's portfolio now includes 48 royalties and streams, anchored with four producing assets, two assets expected to enter construction in 2026 which are targeted to begin production in 2027, and 42 additional royalties expected to add additional cash flow growth and optionality for years to come.  The portfolio is focused mostly on gold and silver, and spans across 3 core jurisdictions - Canada, USA, and Australia.  Summit is now the fastest growing company in the precious metals royalty sector; having completed their first royalty and stream transaction in May 2025, and just went public in the 2nd half of last year.     Summit Royalties has continued to demonstrate its ability to identify and execute accretive transactions, and intends to build on that momentum with discipline, to become the next mid-tier streaming and royalty company.  Drew outlines that they are reviewing a few key term-sheets to keep making future actionable and accretive acquisitions to increase production and cash flow growth. Improved capital markets presence and trading liquidity, with supportive shareholder base. Pro forma Summit valued at a significant discount to peers on Price/NAV and Price/2027E cash flow per share (“CFPS”) basis. The Corporation currently has no debt and sufficient cash on-hand for use in future acquisitions, as well as being in dialogue with financial institutions for adding a potential revolving credit facility.     If you have any follow up questions for Drew about Summit Royalties, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Summit Royalties 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 Summit Royalties   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.

Leif Nilsson, CEO & Director of Surge Copper (TSX.V:SURG – OTCQB:SRGXF), joins me for a comprehensive update covering the updated Mineral Resource Estimate and Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), at their flagship copper-molybdenum-silver-gold Berg Project in British Columbia.   Leif mentioned that the completion of the Berg PFS marks an important milestone for Surge and materially advances one of Canada's most significant undeveloped copper projects. Berg now stands out not only for its scale, but also for the quality of its development profile, with long-life production of copper as a primary metal, and industry leading molybdenum and silver output, strong infrastructure advantages, and access to low-carbon hydroelectric power. Just as importantly, this study reflects a great deal of technical work completed since the PEA and provides a more defined foundation for the next stage of advancement, including continued work with First Nations, formal entry into the environmental assessment process, and future feasibility-level studies.   Key highlights from PFS:    Base case after-tax NPV8% of C$4.6 billion, IRR of 24%, and payback period of 2.9 years, based on long-term commodity price assumptions of US$4.75/lb copper, US$20.00/lb molybdenum, US$45/oz silver, and US$3,500/oz gold and an exchange rate of 0.73 US$/C$ At spot prices as of June 2026 (US$6.45/lb copper, US$30.00/lb molybdenum, US$65/oz silver, and US$4,250/oz gold and an exchange rate of 0.73 US$/C$), a spot price sensitivity case generates an after-tax NPV8% of C$9.4 billion, an IRR of 36%, and a payback period of 1.8 years, underscoring the Project's leverage to higher metal prices Maiden Proven & Probable Mineral Reserve of 1.2 billion tonnes grading 0.22% copper, 0.026% molybdenum, 4.1 g/t silver, and 0.02 g/t gold, containing 5.8 billion pounds of copper, 687 million pounds of molybdenum, 160 million ounces of silver, and 0.8 million ounces of gold Updated Mineral Resource Estimate includes Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources of 1.4 billion tonnes grading 0.21% copper, 0.025% molybdenum, 4.0 g/t silver, and 0.02 g/t gold, plus additional Inferred Mineral Resources of 1.0 billion tonnes grading 0.16% copper, 0.027% molybdenum, 4.3 g/t silver, and 0.01 g/t gold 28-year mine life with total production of 8.6 billion pounds (3.9 million tonnes) of copper equivalent (CuEq)1, including 4.9 billion pounds (2.2 million tonnes) of copper, 602 million pounds of molybdenum, and 89 million ounces of silver First 5 years of steady-state production averages 416 million pounds (189 thousand tonnes) of copper equivalent annually, including 270 million pounds (122 thousand tonnes) of copper, 21 million pounds of molybdenum, and 4 million ounces of silver Life of mine average annual production of 308 million pounds (140 thousand tonnes) of copper equivalent, including 176 million pounds (80 thousand tonnes) of copper, 21 million pounds of molybdenum, and 3 million ounces of silver Life of mine C1 co-product cash costs of US$1.95/lb payable CuEq and by-product cash costs of US$(0.17)/lb payable Cu Low life of mine strip ratio of 2.0:1, including waste pre-stripping requirements of 304 million tonnes Initial capital cost of C$4.7 billion and sustaining capital of C$1.7 billion, based on an EPCM execution approach and a three-year construction period, and including a total life of mine contingency of C$715 million, implying initial capital intensity of US$24,416/t CuEq annual average production capacity, and life of mine capital intensity of US$0.55/lb recovered CuEq Selected development case based on a 120,000 tonne per day concentrator and a new 230 kV transmission line connecting the Project to the BC Hydro grid, and downhill overland conveyor transport of ore to the process plant Simple, stand-alone development case based on a single-phase build, conventional open pit mining and processing, with no reliance on phased expansions or third-party major infrastructure     If you have any follow-up questions for Leif regarding Surge Copper, then please email them to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Surge Copper 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 Surge 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.

In this weekend show, we replay the most popular Daily Editorials from the week. We feature Mike Larson and Robert Sinn both analyzing a volatile first half of 2026. The key theme uniting both interviews is the concept of a "market halftime", evaluating the massive rotations out of mega-cap tech, identifying potential bottoms in precious metals and crypto, and capitalizing on the global macro shifts driving energy and critical minerals.    Segment 1 & 2 - Mike Larson, the editor-in-chief at The Money Show, kicks off the show to break down the shifts within the financial markets at the midpoint of the year. Larson provides a detailed review of the stark contrast between the first and second halves of the year, highlighting the massive rotation out of red-hot technology and AI sectors into underperforming areas like healthcare, while also noting that critical minerals are presently eclipsing precious metals as a focal point for generalist investors due to global supply chain and national security policies. Click here to find out about the upcoming MoneyShow conferences - https://www.moneyshow.com/   Segment 3 & 4 - Robert Sinn, also known as "Goldfinger" on CEO.ca and "CEO Technician" on X, who is the publisher of Goldfinger Capital on YouTube and Substack. In the segment, Sinn shares his technical and fundamental analysis of the precious metals sector, highlighting a strong Q3 rebound for gold and silver, while discussing the potential for mining stocks to outperform later in the summer despite recent market drawdowns.  Follow Robert's analysis on Substack   If you enjoy the show, be sure to subscribe to our podcast feed (KER Podcast), YouTube channel, and follow us on X for more market commentary and company interviews.

In this edition of The KE Report, I sat down with Marc Chandler, Chief Market Strategist at Bannockburn Capital Markets and Editor of the Marc to Market website, to unpack another full week of macroeconomic data.  We focused on the US jobs report, GDP estimates for Q2, the mid-week European central bank meeting where Kevin Warsh spoke, the shift to an annual review of the Mexico/Canada/America (“MCA”) trade agreement, further geopolitics effects of tariffs and the Strait of Hormuz supply shock, and how all of that factors into interest rates, currencies, and international markets.   Key Discussion Points:   Jobs Report Metrics Come In Weaker Than Expected: The Bureau of Labor Statistics announced that the US added just 57,000 jobs in June, a slowdown from previous months and below the 113,000 economists expected. The unemployment rate, however, ticked down to 4.2%, below the expected 4.3%. Marc gets under-the-hood and looks at the nuances of the regular revisions to the jobs data, the nature of the data collection and inherent challenges with getting it all in a timely basis, and how the low participation rate effected the unemployment rate. The Atlanta-based GDP Now Forecasts ~1.2% GDP Growth in Q2:  While this number is also subject to revision when the official number comes out, and is contrast to Bloomberg's 2.2% GDP growth estimate, it highlights a reduction in growth in Q2 versus Q1. When contrasting the 1.2% GDP growth estimate versus the May inflation reading at 4.2% area, some economists point to negative growth in “real” inflation-adjusted terms and point to this being stagflation.   Marc weighs in on the conversation and is less convinced of the economy being in that kind of dire stagflationary pressure, and lays out the case for steady growth and how different segments of the economy are in different situations. Inflation Expectations and Fed Policy: A few weeks after Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's debut meeting, and after getting more comments from him this last week at the European Central Bank Forum, the market is pricing in a hawkish trajectory for the end of the year; with 1.5 hikes prices in. This is affecting the short-end of the bond yield curve, while the longer-dated treasury yields are flattening. Mark weighs in on the key takeaways in these trends as well as where "real" inflation-adjusted interest rates are coming in. International Market Movers:  Widening the scope beyond US markets, we discuss interest rates, currencies, and stock markets abroad from Europe to Asia, and the trends and moves by specific countries that have Marc's attention. Mexico/Canada/America (“MCA”) Trade Agreement Goes To Annual Review: Marc highlights that now that July 1st deadline has come and gone, the MCA is still intact, but now goes to an annual renewal and review for the next decade.  This brings up the larger discussion around North American trade and economies of scale between the 3 countries, and the benefits of the MCA versus bilateral trade agreements. Strait of Hormuz Supply Shock Effects Multiply: While the MOU for the ceasefire between the US and Iran is on unsure footing, there has been a significant drop in crude oil prices over the last couple of weeks, easing some future inflation expectations.  However, the resulting supply shock in fertilizers and pesticides, had an impact on farming in a year where the warmer weather effects from El Niño are anticipated to result in lower food yields.  This is one of the big themes Marc will be watching for the balance of this year and setting up for 2027.   Click here to visit Marc's site – Marc To Market – https://www.marctomarket.com/     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.

In this Daily Editorial on The KE Report, I chat with Joel Elconin, Co-Founder of the Pre-Market Prep Show and Founder of the Stock Trader Network, to discuss the “violent rotation trade” underneath the surface of the US equity markets.  His big takeaway lately has been that “leaders have turned into laggards, and the laggards have now turned into leaders.”   We picked it up where we left off last week where Micron Technology (MU) and SanDisk (SNDK) had blasted up after a nice earnings beat, but then dropped precipitously this week. Micron got “Broadcom'ed” by the market… Joel points out that initially Broadcom (AVGO) had rallied on its earnings, before then getting taken out to the woodshed and beaten down over the last month.   There have been pockets of strength lately, due to a rotation trade out of MAG-7 leadership and out into select financial stocks, consumer staples, mixed retail, utilities, biotech (XBI), healthcare (XLV), but Joel advised caution in chasing these sectors much higher.   Another laggard trade, that has morphed into a leader trade has the been the small cap stocks as evidenced by the move in the Russell 2000 (IWM) for the last year, and picking up pace over the last few months.     We discussed that some stocks, like Intel Corp (INTC), with a current forward PE ratio over 150, are making upside moves that normally take years in just a matter of days and weeks; and thus, their valuations are now priced to perfection far out into the future.  His concern is the eventual assertion of gravity in the markets, where valuations actually start to matter again.   Oil prices have collapsed since the MOU was signed between the US and Iran, which is a bright spot for consumers and businesses alike, and it should help with the inflation readings moving forward.  However, Joel points out that if the WTI prices drop even lower and the trends shift over into a deflationary cycle, then that could roil the markets.   When probed about the potential rotation from growth into value in that kind of a scenario, Joel highlighted that this is what we are already starting to see under the surface of these markets, and that happens later in the cycle when traders get into a more defensive posture.   Joel flagged that his biggest concern at present is that the markets are content to focus on the benefits of the rotation trade, but if money quits pulling out of one asset class and plowing right back into another and instead just goes to the sidelines, then things could also morph into a “sell everything” market in the 2nd half of the year.  For this reason, his posture and general outlook is moving from neutral to bearish looking ahead to the balance of 2026.   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 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.

In this Daily Editorial from The KE Report, I sit down with Brien Lundin, Editor of the Gold Newsletter and host of the upcoming New Orleans Investment Conference, to get his outlook on where we are at in the precious metals market, and why he believes the bottoming process is already underway here in the mid-point of the year.  We are transitioning from what was a very difficult correction in Q2, to a metals and mining prices that seem to have hit selling exhaustion and are bouncing up to kick off Q3.   While the short-term charts for gold have been under pressure, Brien highlights several under-the-radar shifts that suggest a market transition is underway in the PM complex. Gold dipped briefly below $4,000 a few times, but didn't stay there and quickly rebounded back up above that round psychological number each time. The last few days of June and first couple days of July have put some breathing room in between current prices and $4,000. The Fed policy expectations went a bit too extreme in the hawkish camp, and Brien points out that eventually Kevin Warsh and the Fed will transition back to a more accommodative policy, using their task forces to define new readings on economic datapoint. The stronger US dollar is not going to be the headwind some may expect, and is less relevant to the gold or silver price over the medium to longer-term than other macro trends. We are entering an attractive window of seasonality, where often the lows in the PM sector occur between late July and early August and then rally for months into the Fall. While we could see a bit more continued price weakness, he sees that as a great spot to go shopping for companies on people's watch lists.   The precious metals stocks are going to have a wave of positive news coming in Q3 from robust earnings in the producers, to cashed up exploration programs, resource estimate updates, and economic studies in the juniors. Brien highlights the following companies as ones that have positive news catalysts on tap that he is keenly interested in following for H2: Prospector Metals Corp. (TSXV: PPP) (OTCQB: PMCOF), K2 Gold Corp (TSXV: KTOV) (OTCQX: KTGDF), Banyan Gold Corp. (TSXV:BYN)(OTCQB:BYAGF), Delta Resources Ltd (TSXV: DLTA) (OTC Pink: DTARF), and Auro Metals Inc.

Robert Sinn, (aka Goldfinger on CEO.ca and CeoTechnican on X) and publisher of Goldfinger Capital on YouTube and Substack, joins me for another wide-ranging discussion on his technical outlook, fundamental factors that matter, and portfolio management strategies in this current setup in gold, silver, and precious metals stocks heading into Q3.   We start off reviewing the bearish technical action on the charts from the Q1 peaks in January and February to the support breaking to lower prices in Q2 through the end of June.     Q2 had a very ugly bullish engulfing quarterly candle, which he just wrote about on Substack, but he also cautioned people that it doesn't mean things are just going to go straight down from here. Robert points out that selling compounded and Q2 closed up at max pessimism in the sector, and he noted that this is the type of environment where selling can become exhausted and where directional turns can happen. Additionally, we noted the extreme low readings in sector sentiment, extreme low bullish breadth readings, and the weak seasonality factor, where the summer doldrums seemed to come early this year. He highlights that turning over the calendar month & quarter can bring in different positioning from institutions, and that in seasonality terms, coming out of the US Independence Day long weekend can often set up a more constructive stretch in the PM complex for the next few months.   Next we addressed the fat margins that producers still had in Q2 and heading into Q3, despite the corrective moves in the metals and higher energy costs for the quarter, and  potentially compressing margins some from where they were in Q1.   We also outlined the constructive situation with regards to so many gold and silver explorers and developers being more cashed up than they have been in years, doing some of their largest work programs in years.  We are going to have flood of positive sector news over the next few months that could be the catalysts to bring more buying and interest into the junior PM equities.   Wrapping up we discussed a few portfolio management strategies, where pullbacks in quality companies can be good accumulation points.  Robert reiterated that investors should take inventory of what they own and why they own those stocks; shedding situations that are continually not working out, and focusing on their highest conviction stories that they have the best understanding of as their heaviest weightings.    Follow Robert's analysis on Substack . https://ceo.ca/@goldfinger .

The companies we discussed in the interview are: Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to review the value proposition that has his attention in 3 gold junior resource stocks, that have put out compelling news in the recent past and that have key alpha growth catalysts on tap in the medium-term.       Integra Resources Corp. (TSXV: ITR; NYSE American: ITRG) – On June 25, 2026, the Company announced the results of its updated Technical Report Feasibility Study and Life-of-Mine Plan for the producing Florida Canyon Mine located in Nevada. Less than two years after acquiring Florida Canyon for $68 million, Integra has transformed the operation into a larger, longer-life asset with a 74% increase in Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves, a 17% increase in annual gold production and active mining extended through 2033.   Irving Resources Inc. (CSE:IRV)(OTCQX:IRVRF)(FSE:1IR) – On June 25, 2026, the Company announced receipt of strong assay results from newly discovered feeder style mineralization at its Omu Sinter epithermal gold-silver project located in Omu, Hokkaido, Japan. Diamond drill hole 26OMS-002, a 53m vertical hole drilled near the eastern margin of the sinter target earlier this year, intercepted 0.98 gpt Au and 68.96 gpt Ag (2.06 gpt AuEq) over 47.7m beginning at the top of bedrock and continuing to the end of the hole.   K2 Gold Corporation (TSXV: KTOV) (OTCQX: KTGDF) – On June 25, 2026, the Company announced that it has commenced its 2026 exploration and 5,650 metre drilling program at the 100%-owned Mojave Project in Inyo County, California.  K2 has commenced an initial drilling program with the approved Plan of Operations providing for up to approximately 14,000 metres of drilling across the Eastern Target Area and will be following up on prior compelling drill results from 2020 and 2021.   * 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.   Click here to follow Erik's analysis over at The Hedgeless Horseman website   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Integra Resources 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.

Victor Cantore, President and CEO of Amex Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: AMX) (OTCQX: AMXEF) (FSE: MX0), joins me for a big picture update on their transition to development and near-term production at it flagship Perron Gold Project, located in Quebec, Canada.  The Company will be changing its name to Amex Gold Mining Inc. in early July to reflect this transition into a developer/producer over the next 2 years; but will also be maintaining a 100,000 meter drill program, so there is still the dual-focus on exploration as well.   On June 18th, the Company announced the completion of the final tranche of the oversubscribed "best efforts" private placement for C$80Million, where Eldorado Gold maintained their 27% stake, and they have received receipt of the key permits for the upcoming bulk sampling program.  We discussed how the bulk sample will achieve multiple goals of learning about the actual grade and metal recovery reconciliation measured against the metrics outlined in the positive Feasibility Study for the 5 years of commercial Phase 1 production at the project. The bulk sample will have an initial capital outlay of around C$50Million, but after processing ~40,000 tonnes via toll-milling at a nearby plant; and producing around 23,000-28,000 ounces of gold, this will generate revenues more than double that capex.   We discussed how the market does seem to fully appreciate or value that the Company will be mining and producing metals and revenues by the end of 2027.  Additionally, Victor points out that the portal and decline/ramp development utilized in this upcoming bulk sample is the exact same plan envisioned in their economic study, and will shave all that capital, development work, and time off the front-end of Phase 1 development, providing a faster organic natural transition in Phase 1 commercial mining in 2028 simply by extending that ramp further into the mine.   We then discussed the even larger strategy where the revenues generated from the bulk sample in 2027, followed by the 4-5 years of DSO toll-mining in Phase 1, will then fund the exploration and development work that feeds into the Phase 2 studies.  Phase 2 will envision the move into a larger production scenario building a processing plant on site, from the robust revenues projected during Phase 1.   In addition to all the development slated for this year, the company is pressing forward with an aggressive 100,000 meter drill campaign, continuing to delineate and expand resources at the main Perron Project; while also beginning to explore on their expanded land package across the provincial border into Ontario.  The company has substantially increased their land holdings through a combination of staking claims and the 2 recent acquisitions of the Perron West and the Abbotsford/Hepburn properties.   Click here to follow the latest news from Amex Exploration   If you have any questions for Victor regarding Amex Exploration, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.     In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Amex Exploration 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.

In this Daily Editorial, Craig Hemke, Founder and Publisher of the TF Metals Report, joins me to analyze the peak hawkishness in the precious metals market since last week.  We dive into the macroeconomic backdrop as it relates to interest rates and Fed policy and the fallout after Kevin Warsh chaired his first FED meeting 2 weeks ago and addressed the markets focused on price stability.   Craig wrote an article last week titled: “Peak Hawk” outlining some of the topics we dove into during this discussion, and there is a link to that here:   https://www.tfmetalsreport.com/blog/13750/peak-hawk     Technical Levels to Watch:   Craig comments on the break-down in gold, silver, and PM ETF breaking below the 200-day moving average, and 50-week moving averages as just a ‘piling on' effect from this peak hawkishness in the markets.  He believes most of the corrective move has happened at this point, and is anticipating 2026 to end somewhere around flat on the year; which he notes wouldn't be too bad after the outsized gains in gold and silver in 2024 and 2025 on a percentage basis.  He points out we may need that last capitulation move this summer to wash out any remaining weak hands, and to then base and bring in the new buyers that cause shorts to cover and begin a new upleg. Craig also points to the flattening yield curve, and where the 2-year and 10-year treasury yields have been trending as a factor worth paying attention to.   Kevin Warsh Will Be Speaking In Europe this Wednesday:   Kevin Warsh is participating in a policy panel at the European Central Bank Forum on Central Banking. Craig will be watching to see if he emphasizes the hawkish hold or dials it back a little at this meeting. The Fed funds futures are now anticipating 1-2 rate hikes this year versus the initially market anticipated rate cuts, coming into this year.  We discuss the likelihood of the market has now swung so hawkish, that it may be excessive and misplaced. Even if we see an initial hawkish rate hike, Craigs sees that as posturing, and doesn't anticipate that we'd have long to wait after that before the economic data on inflation softens with lower energy prices now, and that monetary policy will adjusts course in the opposite direction, in a more dovish playbook… like it has over and over again historically.   We'll Get The Jobs Data on Thursday This Week:   The June BLS jobs report will be released on July 2, 2026, which is expected to show the creation of 172,000 new jobs.  We are getting this data on Thursday, due to the observance of Independence Day on Friday. Additionally, the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index and the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) will also be reported this week.   The Macroeconomic Fundamentals Haven't Changed:   Sovereign debt remains at record levels and most nations can not endure interest rates that go up to drastically.  Craig highlights that “The Math is the math.” Throughout history, central banks have opted for printing more money and driving interest rates meaningfully lower, to inflate their way out of economic challenges, and to pay off higher interest debt with lower-rate debt.  Overall, central banks continue to add gold to their balance sheets versus adding more US or foreign treasuries.   Click here to visit Craig's website – TF Metals Report – https://www.tfmetalsreport.com/   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.

Graham Richardson, CFO of Faraday Copper (TSX:FDY – OTCQX:CPPKF), joins me to provide a big picture overview of the key exploration and development objectives and shifting workstreams now that Faraday has entered into a non-binding letter of intent for the proposed acquisition of BHP's San Manuel Property, adjacent to their Copper Creek Project in Arizona.   This is truly a transformational transaction, which once closed, consolidates two adjacent and complementary assets in the heart of the Arizona copper corridor, at a time when sourcing of critical minerals within the USA is essential. We discuss how combining the historic open pit San Manuel Mine and robust Kalamazoo underground assets with Copper Creek Project's at-surface open pit breccias and underground porphyry assets at American Eagle and Keel creates a multi-asset copper district in the USA; and one of the largest undeveloped copper projects in North America.   Strategic Rationale Significant resource potential: The combined project would have the potential to become a multi-generational copper district delivering made-in-America copper. Accelerates pathway to production: Opportunity to leverage the private land position of San Manuel to facilitate the potential for expedited copper cathode production from the combined projects. Flexibility through private land and infrastructure: Additional ~27,000 acres of private land for site facilities and access to existing regional infrastructure, including road, rail, gas and power. Centralizes infrastructure and reduces environmental footprint: The proximity of Copper Creek and San Manuel allows for the potential to leverage existing infrastructure and for future facilities to be shared between the projects, reducing the overall environmental footprint while enhancing capital efficiency. The combined assets offer potential for project staging: Prioritization of copper cathode production, followed by open pit sulphides before development of underground operations. BHP to become a strategic shareholder: BHP to join the Lundin Group as a strategic shareholder of Faraday to deliver USA copper supply through a consolidated district.   Phase 4 drilling at Copper Creek will be factored into an updated copper Resource Estimate, which will be paired with upcoming confirmation drilling of the San Manuel historic resource.   This will set up a wrapping economics around the Phase 1 open pit development at both projects into a combined approach, and will be combined with other data-collection and metallurgical studies.  The Phase 1 open pits will then fund the eventual development into the underground resources at Kalamazoo, and eventually American Eagle and Keel.   The Company is well-funded to deliver on its key milestones and benefits from a growing management team and board of directors with senior mining company experience and expertise to deliver on the pathway from development into production.   If you have any questions for Graham regarding Faraday Copper, then please email them to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Faraday Copper at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to view the latest news from Faraday 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.

In this Sunday special edition of The KE Report, I sat down with Marc Chandler, Chief Market Strategist at Bannockburn Capital Markets and Editor of the Marc to Market website, to unpack a whirlwind week for global macroeconomics, geopolitics effects on the oil sector, central bank policy and how that factors into interest rates and currencies, and international markets.   Key Discussion Points: Strait of Hormuz Geopolitics and The Oil Price Response: We discuss the significant drop in crude oil prices over the last couple of weeks as a market response to the MOU signed between the US and Iran, but counterbalance the conversation with the renewed tensions to end the week and heading into the weekend. Inflation Expectations and Fed Policy: Two weeks after Fed Chair Warsh's debut meeting, the market is pricing in a hawkish trajectory for the end of the year, which is affecting the short-end of the yield curve, while the longer-dated treasury yields are flattening. Mark weighs in on the key takeaways in the trends. The Surging US Dollar Index: Why the dollar is breaking out of its year-long range, achieving new highs against the Japanese Yen and Canadian Dollar, and defying widespread expectations of a decline. MAG-7 Leadership Rolls Over: We've seen many of the megacap tech stocks rolling over the last couple of weeks, and dissect whether this is healthy rotation into other sectors, or a more worrisome sign. SpaceX IPO Fallout For The Space Stocks:  We review the potential frothy market sentiment read of high profile IPOs like SpaceX and Anthropic, and what this means for the space sector valuations dropping most of this year. Mark points out that the increased issuance of shares overall in the market data means that the same money is chasing even more paper, and causing selling in some sectors to rotate into the new trending stories. International Market Movers:  We discuss interest rates, currencies, and stock markets abroad from Europe to Asia, and the trends and moves by specific countries that have Marc's attention.   Click here to visit Marc's site – Marc To Market – https://www.marctomarket.com/   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.

Dustin Perry, Founder and CEO of Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSXV:KFR) (OTCQB:KGFMF) (FSE:970), joins me to highlight the commencement of their fully-funded 15,000 metre drill program; in a three-pronged approach to various copper-gold targets in the Hank-Mary district of the Hwy 37 Project, in the Golden Triangle, British Columbia.   2026 Drill Program Update   The first diamond drill has re-entered the 2025 Hank Porphyry discovery hole (HW-25-011) with the goal of extending mineralization beyond the previously reported intercept of 425 m of 0.15% Cu, 0.21 g/t Au, and 2.2 g/t Ag (0.40% CuEq).1,2,3 The original intercept bottoms in increasing Cu grades at 959 m depth where potassic alteration is identified and becoming more prevalent. The second drill will collar in the Hank Porphyry Target area, stepping out over 300 metres, and complementing the first drill.  The 3rd drill is set to arrive to site in early July and drill pads are being planned and set up.   2026 Field Program Underway   Reconnaissance prospecting and regional stream sediment sampling are also scheduled to begin shortly across the HWY 37 Project, with geological mapping and soil sampling scheduled to begin during the second week of July. Ground IP geophysics and the airborne Mobile Magnetotelluric (MMT) and magnetic surveys remain on track to commence around mid-July.   Hank Porphyry Cu-Au Discovery – Expansion and Delineation The Hank porphyry Cu-Au discovery represents a well-defined, large-scale copper-gold target supported by multiple converging lines of geological and geophysical evidence:   Kilometre-scale geophysical anomalies: IP geophysics, magnetics, and magnetotellurics (MMT) anomalies all converging on the same broad target. Compelling emplacement timing: Porphyry mineralization at Hank, Williams & Mary (~190–186 Ma) overlaps in time with the nearby Mitchell deposit (~196–189 Ma)⁴  the largest undeveloped Cu-Au deposit in Canada.   Hank Au Targets – Bulk Tonnage Gold Targets   At-surface bulk-tonnage gold targets proximal to the Hank Porphyry Target offer significant opportunities for expansion with untested wide-spaced gaps (up to 500 m) between historical drill holes despite evidence of strong gold endowment in historical drilling.  Historical results include: 55.8 m of 1.38 g/t Au (DDH84-4) 42.0 m of 2.52 g/t Au (DDH85-32) 63.0 m of 1.86 g/t Au (DDH85-45) Several historical holes terminate in mineralization including DDH88-16 with 74 m of 0.43 g/t Au including 0.92 g/t in the last assay.   Structural High-Grade Au Targets   Updated LiDAR, geological interpretation, and 3D modelling are being used to identify higher-grade structural gold zones. Previous workers explored with a single NW-SE azimuth to drill holes, this created a strong bias on ore geometry. New interpretations indicate multiple and complex structural patterns would have been poorly tested by previous holes. Revised interpretations will test projections of identified structures and ore shoot concepts as well.   New Discovery Drilling – Turquoise, Rainbow, & Regional Porphyry Targets   Beyond the Hank Porphyry Target, the Company will conduct first-pass discovery drilling at the Turquoise and Rainbow targets, along with additional regional prospects. This initiative is focused on identifying large-tonnage porphyry systems across the full breadth of the Company's multi-district-scale land package — providing multiple opportunities for new discovery.     If you have questions for Dustin regarding Kingfisher Metals, then please email us at either Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to follow the latest news from Kingfisher 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.

Jason Jessup, CEO and Director of Magna Mining (TSX: NICU) (OTCQX: MGMNF), joins me for a review of Q1 operations and financials at the McCreedy West Mine located in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. Then we dive into an overall exploration and development update at the prior-producing Levack Mine, and a development update at Crean Hill to map out what the pathway to restarting production would entail at both mines.     We start off noting the graduation from the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) to the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”). The Common Shares just began trading on the TSX at market earlier this week on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, and will continue to trade under the current stock symbol, (“NICU”).  Jason highlights the extra liquidity and potential for passive fund inclusion that this will present in the fullness of time.   Q1 Operations and Financial Highlights:   Positive cash margin of $6.0 million at the McCreedy West copper-precious metals-nickel Mine. In Q1 2026, 82,296 tons of ore was processed from the 700 Footwall Copper Zone at McCreedy West at a grade of 3.38% copper equivalent (“CuEq”) based on realized metal prices in the quarter. The Company produced 4.1 million CuEq payable pounds (“lbs”) in Q1 2026. With both tonnage and grades forecast to increase from Q1, the Company continues to expect to achieve full year production guidance of 16-18 million CuEq payable lbs. Quarterly cash costs of US$3.48 per CuEq lb, and All-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) of US$4.21 per CuEq lb, respectively. Production costs per ton processed in Q1 2026 declined by 5.3% quarter over quarter to $214 per ton.  Ended Q1 2026 with cash and cash equivalents of $35.8 million and a working capital balance of $53.7 million. Exploration and evaluation expenses in Q1 2026 of $2.8 million, including $2.3 million at Levack Mine as focus transitioned to infrastructure readiness to support early ore sources and new underground exploration platforms to test the R2 Footwall Zone, with completion of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) expected in Q3. During Q1 2026, the Company announced initial Mining Reserves for the 700/PM copper-precious metals Zones at McCreedy West which demonstrate an initial three-year production profile, assuming forecasted mining rates which are in line with the current operation and 2026 guidance.   We reviewed the continued high-grade drill results across copper, nickel, platinum, palladium, gold, and silver in more recent assays returned from the ongoing exploration and development work at the Levack Mine.   Highlights from the new assay results include:    MLV-26-14A W2 – intercepted 9.4% Cu, 2.3% Ni, 28.7 g/t Pt+Pd+Au, 52.9 g/t Ag (29.7% CuEq) over 3.4 metres, Including 18.7% Cu, 0.7% Ni, 60.2 g/t Pt+Pd+Au, 103.8 g/t Ag (57.0% CuEq) over 1.5 metres, And 21.4% Cu, 0.4% Ni, 40.8 g/t Pt+Pd+Au, 152.0 g/t Ag (34.0% CuEq) over 0.4 metres, MLV-26-14A W3 - intercepted 22.5% Cu, 1.4% Ni, 49.9 g/t Pt+Pd+Au, 135.0 g/t Ag (43.9% CuEq) over 1.1 metres;    And  14.0% Cu, 1.9% Ni, 47.2 g/t Pt+Pd+Au, 96.0 g/t Ag (36.2% CuEq) over 1.5 metres,   The Company is planning to release a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) for the Levack Mine in parallel with work to re-establish ore and waste hoisting capabilities during 2026.  At present those economics will not include the high-grade drilling completed to date at the R2 Footwall Zone. Jason highlights that a development drift is being implemented to support ongoing underground exploration of this area, for the potential of future implementation into development plans.   Next we review the ongoing workstreams for Crean Hill that will be feeding into the upcoming PFS later this year.  He notes that the significantly higher precious metals today compared to back in 2022 will be a factor that plays into the updated economics, and maps out that the ramp-up into production could commence as early as H2 2027.   We wrap up discussing that the prior-producing Poldosky Mine and the development-stage Shakespeare Project are still both permitted assets of merit and will feed the development cue as mines number 4 and 5 further down the road.    Click here to follow along with the news at Magna Mining   If you have questions for Jason regarding Magna Mining, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Magna 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 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.

In this Daily Editorial on The KE Report, I chat with Joel Elconin, co-founder of the Pre-Market Prep Show and founder of the Stock Trader Network, to discuss a mixed week in US equities, where he highlights an “unsatisfied bid underneath the market.”   On the positive side of the market:   Micron Technology (MU) had an amazing day up over 15% after a solid earnings report and estimate beat, and this caused sympathetic buying in SanDisk (SNDK) up almost 22% on the day. It was a big day for hardware stocks. The financial stocks, consumer staples, mixed retail, utilities, biotech (XBI), Caterpillar (CAT) and Deere (DE) all have had constructive moves higher lately. Airline stocks and cruise stocks have been benefitting from the pullback in oil prices.   On the negative side of the market:   The MAG-7 megacap tech stock leadership has been rolling over lately, with Apple (AAPL), Nvidia (NVDA) , Meta (META), and Microsoft (MSFT) leading the charge down this week. The SpaceX (SPCX) IPO highlights excessive market speculation and after a very big launch, it has now crashed back down to Earth, with pricing very near now to where it initially came to market; creating a lot of new bagholders. Oil prices have collapsed since the MOU was signed between the US and Iran, but there was a slight lift today in oil and energy stocks on the news that projectiles were shot at a tanker by Iran in the Strait or Hormuz.     We debate how the wider market breadth rotating out of the megacap tech stocks into more areas of the market could show a healthier market, but Joel points out with the MAG-7 having a disproportionately high weighting in the S&P and Nasdaq, and with many institutions so heavily weighted to concentrated positions, that it has him leaning more neutral to bearish coming into the summer.   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 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.

(TSX.V: OMG) (OTCQB: OMGGF), joins me for a special video presentation and visual exploration update, with mineralization expanding in the updated Resource Estimate to ~8 million ounces of gold in all categories, from the combined Wenot and Gilt Creek Projects at the Company's 100%-owned Omai Gold Project in Guyana, South America.  We also discuss the dual path of the company now, split between exploration, and all the project derisking being factored into development and the upcoming updated economic study.   The Omai Gold Property hosts two orogenic gold deposits: the shear-hosted Wenot Deposit and the adjacent, intrusion-hosted Gilt Deposit (Figure 1), with a combined updated MRE (over the August 2025 MRE) of: 2,495,000 ounces of gold (Indicated MRE), a 17.6% increase, averaging 2.04 g/t Au in 38.1 Mt and 5,465,000 ounces of gold (Inferred MRE), a 24.7% increase, averaging 1.59 g/t Au in 106.6 Mt    That updated model will then be incorporated into the upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), slated for Q3 of 2026; building upon the prior PEA that was released in 2024, which was only on 45% of the mineral inventory focused on the open-pit at Wenot.  That prior PEA did not yet include rest of the resources at Wenot or the expanded profile in the updated MRE, nor did it include the underground project economics from the Gilt Creek deposit.  The updated PEA slated for next quarter will be more advanced and will factor in the combined economics of the open-pit at Wenot, and the underground at Gilt Creek, representing the value proposition of the total project more accurately.     Multiple zones of gold mineralization were intersected in each of the recent assays from the ongoing 50,000-metre diamond drill program.   *Highlights from the recent drilling include:   Hole 26ODD-169 – 2.90 g/t Au over 22.9m o Including 9.13 g/t Au over 4.1m o 2.64 g/t Au over 19.2m o Including 4.90 g/t Au over 8.9m Hole 26ODD-173 – 3.49 g/t Au over 16.9m o Including 13.21 g/t Au over 1.5m o Including 46.68 g/t Au over 0.6m o 3.86 g/t Au over 23.8m o Including 66.21 g/t Au over 0.8m o Including 28.33 g/t Au over 0.9m Hole 26ODD-173W – 2.63 g/t Au over 11.5m o 3.68 g/t Au over 8.1m o 2.62 g/t Au over 13.1m o 5.79 g/t Au over 7.7m Hole 26ODD-180 – 8.54 g/t Au over 20.6m o Including 25.89 g/t Au over 2.5m o Including 13.42 g/t Au over 5.8m o 3.43 g/t Au over 12.3m o Including 5.57 g/t Au over 5.4m Hole 26ODD-183 – 2.96 g/t Au over 14.3m o 1.57 g/t Au over 22.5m o Including 3.94 g/t Au over 5.5m Hole 26ODD-185 – 7.26 g/t Au over 34.8m o Including 19.94 g/t Au over 2.5m o Including 54.05 g/t Au over 1.5m o Including 9.83 g/t Au over 3.0m o 15.89 g/t Au over 1.9m o 1.71 g/t Au over 14.0m o 2.10 g/t Au over 10.9m o 7.22 g/t Au over 2.4m o 2.28 g/t Au over 6.9m   Next we discussed the favorable results from this first phase of metallurgical testing, and that both Wenot and Gilt are orogenic gold deposits that are responsive to reliable, industrially proven processing technologies and consistent with the historical production results. High gold extraction was achieved from testwork with 93% gold (“Au”) extraction at 1.0 g/t Au to 95% Au extraction at 3.2 g/t Au, from a material grind size of 80% passing 75 microns    Wrapping up we discussed the company valuation compared to peers on a P/NAV basis and price per ounce basis, some of the recent high-profile M&A deals in the sector includingG2 Goldfields in Guyana, the ongoing permitting process work towards the EIA, and other derisking work on the Project, gathering all this data to be utilized in the upcoming PEA.     If you have any questions for Elaine regarding Omai Gold Mines, then please email those to me at Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to see the latest news from Omai Gold Mines.     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.

Alex Langer, President and CEO of Sierra Madre Gold And Silver (TSXV: SM) (OTCQX: SMDRF), joins me to recap the Q1 operations and financial update at their 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 property.  Additionally, we discussed the closing of the transaction for the Del Toro mining complex this week,  and the increased drill program to 30,000 - 50,000 meters of drilling at the property starting in the second half of this year.   Highlights Revenues: Gross silver revenues for the quarter totalled $5.9 million ($85.14 per ounce) and gold revenues totalled $5.1 million ($4,906 per ounce). Silver revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 ("Q1 2025") totalled $2.3 million ($31.13 per ounce) and gold revenues totalled $2.9 million ($2,828 per ounce). Sales: In Q1 2026, the Company sold 69,006 ounces of silver ("Ag") and 1,038 ounces of gold ("Au") or 128,827 silver equivalent ("AgEq") ounces, based on the ratio of silver and gold prices realized for each shipment in the quarter. This compares to 75,137 ounces of Ag and 1,022 ounces of Au or 165,093 AgEq ounces sold in Q1 2025. Cash Costs for the quarter were $42.55 per AgEq ounce produced, as compared to $33.63 per AgEq ounce produced in Q4 2025 and $22.51 in Q1 2025 due to a number of factors including the ramp up of operations at Coloso and Nazareno and inflationary pressures on our input costs, as detailed below. Adjusted EBITDA of $2.8 million for Q1 2026 compares to $1.1 million for Q1 2025. Cash from Operations: the Company generated $3.5 million of cash from operating activities in Q1 2026 as compared to $729 thousand in Q1 2025. Gross Profit was $3.61 million for Q1 2026, as compared to $1.36 million for Q1 2025. Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments at March 31, 2026 totalled $13.2 million and working capital totalled $14.4 million. Cost Drivers: Ramp-up and development activities at Coloso and Nazareno drove a significant share of the current production from off-book, out-of-resource, lower-grade material, which weighed on unit mining costs. Gold and silver recovery declines stemmed from feed blend optimization across the three mines, further pressuring costs.  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). In September 2025, Sierra Madre also announced the restart of mining at the Nazareno mine. The Company is focused on ramping up operations at Coloso and Nazareno ahead of the increased plant throughput levels anticipated upon completion of Phase I of the Guitarra expansion. Phase I and II production targets: In late April, Sierra Madre selected a special services contractor to provide equipment and manpower to accelerate mine development at Coloso and Nazareno. The contractor began mobilization to site in early May. Once the contractor is in place, the Company will be able to transfer its miners and equipment to the Guitarra mine to accelerate production. Expansion Progress: For the two-phase expansion of the La Guitarra plant, Sierra Madre has acquired key equipment— including a second crusher (tested and installed) and a 600-700 tpd ball mill, now refurbished and under contract for installation, with commissioning expected in late Q2 2026. Construction crews for the ball mill foundation work have been mobilized to site and the purchase of critical equipment has begun. Once the first stage of the expansion is completed, the planned second phase would increase processing capacity to a range of 1,200 tpd to 1,500 tpd by Q3 2027; essentially doubling production capacity once again.   Beyond the production growth, we also focus on the substantial exploration programs planned for the 2nd half of this year both district-scale land packages.   There are 30,000 meters of drilling planned at the La Guitarra complex; and Alex points out that having their own assay lab should allow the company to quickly react to incoming assays at La Guitarra, going from 20 holes, to 40 holes, and then eventually 80 holes. Now that the acquisition of the Del Toro Silver Mine complex in the Chalchihuites District in Mexico from First Majestic Silver Corp. has closed, there is a 50,000 meter drill program on tap. The goal of this program will be testing a number of high-priority targets and growing existing resources to extend the mine life for when a restart decision is made on these 3 mines and the 3,000 tpd plant.   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.

Nick Hodge, Co-Owner of Digest Publishing and editor of Foundational Profits and Underground Alpha, joins us for our monthly longer-format discussion on assortment of messy macroeconomic factors, how he is navigating the bearish metals price trends, and portfolio management strategies in select gold, copper, lithium, rare earths, and uranium stocks.   We start off reviewing the mix of messy macroeconomic movers like: Market effects from the rising US Dollar – over 100 and climbing Rising short-term interest rates at the short-end of the yield curve due to Fed policy and Warsh's meeting and press conference last week; contrasted against flattening rates at the long-end of the curve Rising inflation readings, but wild fluctuations between monthly and quarterly trends Knock-on effects from geopolitics and continued uncertainty around the US/Iran MOU and supposed reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Fluid situation causing increased volatility and impulsive reactions in both directions Sovereign debt loads and how rising rates will pressure global governments Capex investments in AI data-center build-outs are ongoing.      The majority of the macro news has been a headwind to the commodities sector, but it is a messy situation because there are positive tailwinds present at the same time.  We discussed the pullback in oil prices, in precious metals prices, and copper prices and how Nick is navigating these markets. After touching the hot stove in a few instances, (after taking a nibble at the GDXJ only to see it fall a bit further), he is not interested in trying to pick a bottom or “catch the falling knife” in most commodities. Nick would prefer to see a sustainable real low put in for each respective commodity, like the PMs or Oil or Copper, and for a new uptrend to assert itself before deploying any more new capital. He is more than happy to have a certain portfolio weighting to cash to wait out any more near-term market corrections, and is willing to deploy more cash once the turn higher is more clear.   With regards to portfolio management, Nick is concentrating his portfolio into less positions and fortifying his highest conviction investment stories with compelling catalysts.  He is more likely to trim or sell positions that were picked up based on bullish metals price direction, or as a result of spinouts, or where he is not as confident on the assets or management teams.  He recommends investors take inventory of what they own, and the investment case for why they own it and only be in the higher conviction stories.   Nick highlighted Gladiator Metals Corp. (TSXV: GLAD) (OTCQB: GDTRF) for copper, and Revival Gold Inc. (TSXV: RVG) (OTCQX: RVLGF) for gold as 2 positions he has held for some time in his portfolio that he is happy to hold through any more volatility and even add to in their weighting.  He points out that both companies have solid management teams and projects, and both still have a lot of drilling on tap for this season as a catalyst. There are also gold stocks on his watchlist that are becoming more attractive during this ongoing sector correction, like Mayfair Gold Corp. (TSXV: MFG) (NYSE American: MINE), Tiernan Gold Corp. (TSXV : TNGD), or copper stocks like Amerigo Resources Ltd. (TSX: ARG) (OTCQX: ARREF) or Ero Copper Corp. (TSX: ERO, NYSE: ERO) that he is keeping a close eye on for a potential future position.   When reviewing where he is seeing the most strength in the commodities sector, Nick highlights the Critical Minerals as having been the most resilient. He points out that the Global X Lithium and Battery ETF (NYSE: LIT) and lithium developers like Q2 Metals Corp. (TSX.V: QTWO) (OTCQB: QUEXF) and PMET Resources Inc. (TSX: PMET) (ASX: PMT) (OTCQX: PMETF) have held up better than most other metals or resource stocks. Nick highlights the ongoing direct investment and policy initiatives into the rare earths processors, separators, recyclers, noting prior investments into USA Rare Earth, Inc. (Nasdaq: USAR), MP Materials (NYSE: MP), or the news this week where Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) was approved for a $725 million financing commitment from the Department of War, U.S. Office of Strategic Capital, to support infrastructure and capacity to process rare earth elements and other critical materials. Uranium and nuclear stocks have also been soft ever since the big move up in January, but Nick outlined the continued support from many sovereign nations to invest in both their nuclear infrastructure as well as uranium miners with projects of significance. Cameco Corporation (TSX: CCO; NYSE: CCJ) announced yesterday a conditional commitment for a loan package of up to US$17.5 billion by the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Dominance Financing (EDF) to reenergize the large-scale nuclear reactor supply chain, drive down costs, and accelerate the deployment of AP1000 reactors in the US and globally.   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.

Justin Huhn, Founder and Publisher of the Uranium Insider, joins me for yet another very comprehensive macro update on the supply and demand fundamentals for uranium and the nuclear fuel sector.  Justin provides some boots-on-the-ground feedback, after just recently attending the  WNFM 52nd Annual Meeting and International Conference on Nuclear Fuel in Scottsdale, Arizona. We discuss primary versus secondary demand, how the longer-term contracting cycle is setting up with utility companies, different bottlenecks in the nuclear fuel cycle, and how he is positioning in the uranium equities that feed the front-end of that supply chain.   This is a longer-format discussion building upon our prior conversations throughout 2024 and 2025, because even more key macro news and company developments continue to be announced in the nuclear and uranium sector.   We start off reviewing the Primary Demand drivers for uranium from the existing global fleet of nuclear reactors, which is augmented by the many reactor life extensions and restarts, as well as all the new reactors coming online over the next decade that are under construction or planned.  The investing case for uranium bulls is compelling even with conservative modeling on this primary demand out for the next 5-10 years.   Next we layer on the various aspects of Secondary Demand that are harder to model,  but will definitely have an additive effect on overall global uranium demand:   Financial demand from entities like the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust, Yellowcake, hedge funds, institutional buyers, etc… Sovereign stockpiles and strategic reserves Utility companies inventory stockpiles Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) demand Military demand   Next we transition over the supply side of the equation focusing on the uranium mining companies. We've seen a flurry of news the last couple years out of the U308 producers, many of which have been struggling to ramp up production. Justin unpacks his outlook on mined supply from Kazatomprom, the largest uranium swing producer in Kazakhstan, the slow ramp up of Uzbekistan production, missed guidance last year from Canadian senior uranium producer Cameco (CCO.V) (CCJ), and the slow but steady ramp up of US producers. Each country and the producing entities have had a series of setbacks and challenges to hit their annual guidance, which has kept supply and inventories tight.     Next we point out that large development projects in the Athabasca Basin of Canada, like the Phoenix Project held by Denison Mines (TSX: DML) (NYSE: DNN), and in specific the importance of the Arrow Project from NexGen Energy (TSX: NXE) (NYSE: NXE), seeing their production timelines get pushed back to 2030 or later. There is very little new supply coming online globally, with the exception of some smaller production out of the US, Namibia, and Australian producers. All of this points to a much more constrained output from global uranium producers, even in face of growing uranium demand.   Justin weighs in on the importance of seeing more developers and explorers move their projects forward, and that the exploration stocks in particular have been left for dead by investors and represent compelling value propositions in this current environment.   Wrapping up we discuss the utility and diversification with some of the sector ETFs like (URA), (URNM), (URNJ), and (NUKZ), and the interesting potential buy-the-dip moment in the nuclear stocks, while the markets are quiet with less speculative participation.   Click here to visit the Uranium Insider website.     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 Miniotis, President and CEO of AbraSilver Resource Corp (TSX: ABRA) (OTCQX: ABBRF), joins me to review the news out June 22nd, announcing the updated project economics in the Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS) on the Company's wholly owned Diablillos property in Argentina.  We look at the multiple value levers the company has to pull on for a rerating to higher once the upcoming Phase 2 economics study incorporates the heap leach or higher throughput rates, in addition to all exploration and resource expansion potential and even just the upside present if rerated higher to peer comparable metrics.   In May the company released an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”), which demonstrated significant growth across the Project, with Measured & Indicated (“M&I”) resources now totaling 232 million tonnes (“Mt”), containing approximately 248 million ounces (“Moz”) of silver and 2.54 Moz of gold (454 Moz silver-equivalent “AgEq”). For the first time ever, the DFS released this week includes the Project reserves as proven and probable ounces. 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.   The DFS positions Diablillos as one of the world's premier undeveloped silver-gold projects, based on a stand-alone 9,000 tonnes per day (“tpd”) processing operation that delivers robust economics, high early production levels and low operating costs.   DFS Study Highlights: After-tax NPV5% of $3.0 billion (CAD$ 4.2 billion), 41.9% IRR and 1.7-year payback at base-case metal prices. At spot prices1, after-tax NPV5% increases to $4.8 billion (CAD$6.7 billion) with an IRR of 56.5% and payback of 1.4 years. 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.  Compelling after-tax NPV-to-Capex ratio of 4.2x, highlighting the Project's robust project economics and strong value generation potential. 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. Multiple opportunities exist to further enhance Project value beyond the DFS, including: A Phase 2 heap leach expansion to process lower grade mineralized material that would provide incremental gold and silver production, with results from a Preliminary Economic Assessment (the “Heap Leach PEA”) expected before the end of June 2026; Potential future plant throughput expansion to increase annual silver and gold production; and Continued exploration success across the broader Diablillos district Enhanced TSF incorporates a downstream waste rock buttress design, to eliminate credible failure risk while reducing haulage costs and dust generation. Grid power connection planned in Year 3, reducing both operating costs and carbon emissions.    The Compnay has already received approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)  {“Declaración de Impacto Ambiental” or “DIA”} from the Government of Salta Province in Argentina, and should have the final permit approved from the Catamarca Province imminently.   Click here to visit the AbraSilver website and read over the most recent news releases.      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 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.
