Interview withKiran Patankar, President & CEO of Maple Gold MinesMatt Manson, President & CEO of Radisson Mining Resources Inc.Recording date: 16th October 2025Two junior mining companies are systematically advancing high-grade gold projects in Quebec's Abitibi greenstone belt, leveraging the region's extensive infrastructure while pursuing disciplined capital allocation strategies that prioritize technical de-risking over speculative development.Radisson Mining Resources focuses on the O'Brien Gold Project, a historical high-grade mine that operated until 1957 when economic constraints at $35-per-ounce gold forced closure at one-kilometer depth. CEO Matthew Manson now targets two kilometers as the economic floor, with approximately 1.5 million ounces of high-grade resources currently identified. The company has launched a 140,000-meter drill program, its largest ever, to systematically expand the resource base within the well-understood Piché formation geology adjacent to the Cadillac-Larder Lake break.Maple Gold Mines controls 481 square kilometers straddling the Cadillac Break, hosting over 3 million ounces including the historical Eagle mine that produced one million ounces at 6.5 grams per tonne between 1974 and 1993. Since 2021, CEO Kiran Patankar has restructured operations, reducing annual administrative costs from $6 million to $2 million while repositioning the company's joint venture with Agnico Eagle. The restructuring secured 100% project ownership while maintaining Agnico Eagle as a strategic equity partner.Both companies executed substantial institutional financings, with Radisson raising approximately $25 million through a fully institutional bought deal involving 22 institutions, and Maple securing investment at a 100% premium to previous rounds, including a $7 million lead order from a US mutual fund. These financings deliberately targeted long-term institutional investors rather than retail speculators, with Maple implementing 12-month lock-up agreements to ensure shareholder alignment.The Abitibi region provides critical infrastructure advantages that fundamentally alter project economics. Highway access, grid power at 4 cents per kilowatt-hour, proximity to multiple operating mills with existing permitted capacity, and an established mining workforce reduce capital requirements and enable toll milling opportunities. Both CEOs reject small-scale, bootstrapped development approaches in favor of right-sizing projects based on optimal economics.Strategic investor Michael Gentile plays a central role in both companies, providing capital, board expertise, and validation through thorough diligence-based investment decisions. His involvement signals quality to sophisticated investors and provides network access to institutional capital sources.With discovery costs around $30-40 per ounce against current company valuations near $150 per ounce, both management teams emphasize that successful systematic exploration creates immediate shareholder value accretion while positioning assets for potential acquisition by producers seeking to extend existing mill operations.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Philippe Cloutier, President & CEO of Cartier Resources Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/cartier-resources-tsxvecr-cartier-launches-massive-gold-exploration-7820Recording date: 21st October 2025Cartier Resources (TSXV:ECR) represents a compelling gold exploration opportunity centered on demonstrating mining camp-scale potential along Quebec's renowned Cadillac Fault in the Abitibi region—one of the world's most productive gold districts with over a century of mining history and hundreds of millions of ounces produced. The company has consolidated approximately 15 kilometers of strategic land position between multiple historic mining camps and adjacent to Agnico Eagle's producing operations, positioning itself to become what management characterizes as "the next mining camp along the Cadillac fault."The investment thesis centers on an exceptionally aggressive exploration program that fundamentally differentiates Cartier from typical junior explorers. The company has committed to a 100,000-meter, 600-hole diamond drilling program—representing an order of magnitude increase over the 5,000-10,000 meters that typical juniors drill annually. This intensive approach directly addresses the prolonged timelines that often frustrate junior resource investors by front-loading discovery work and compressing value recognition timelines. Strategic partner Agnico Eagle explicitly endorsed this aggressive strategy, with management noting Agnico's directive to "demonstrate that there's a mining camp there, not one mine, but a cluster of maybe three or four mines" with potential for 10-15 million ounces rather than the 3 million ounces typical of single-mine scenarios.Cartier's operational efficiency provides embedded value often overlooked in exploration-stage analysis. The company secured $12 million in full program funding while simultaneously locking in drilling costs at $110 per meter for two years—substantially below typical market rates of $150-200 per meter and representing 25-35% cost advantages. This pricing reflects fortuitous timing in contracting and the project's proximity to Val-d'Or mining infrastructure, effectively providing 15-20% more drilling capacity for the same capital outlay. Over a 100,000-meter program, these savings compound meaningfully while eliminating near-term dilution concerns.Recent exploration results validate the geological model, with the company's third press release since August program commencement demonstrating systematic expansion of mineralization. Drill intercepts include 11 g/t over 9 meters and ounce-per-ton material over metric widths in stacked vein systems with true widths extending approximately 50 meters. The mineralization occurs at surface in multiple parallel structures, suggesting both high-grade vein mining potential and bulk tonnage scenarios—a combination characteristic of the region's most successful operations.Management has structured a comprehensive five-pronged development program simultaneously advancing drilling, metallurgical testing, environmental baseline studies for permitting, resource estimate updates, and preliminary economic assessments. This parallel execution compresses typical sequential development timelines while generating bi-weekly news flow expected to continue for 18 months. The metallurgical work specifically targets toll milling opportunities at existing regional mills, a strategy that could reduce development capital requirements by 50-75% compared to standalone mill construction.The project benefits from exceptional infrastructure access, sitting within 30 minutes of Val-d'Or with its established workforce, service providers, power, and multiple processing facilities. The historic Chimo Gold Mine, encompassed within Cartier's land package, achieved 93% recovery rates and operated until 1997 when it closed not from resource exhaustion but from gold prices collapsing to $275 per ounce. With gold now exceeding $2,700 per ounce—nearly 10x higher—combined with superior mining technology and metallurgical methods, the same geological setting offers dramatically enhanced economic potential.CEO Philippe Cloutier articulates a clear timeline for value recognition, stating the program is almost 7 months pregnant with the company targeting a different level by the end of 2025, early 2026. For investors seeking exposure to gold discovery upside in a premier mining jurisdiction, backed by strategic producer validation and managed by a team demonstrating capital discipline and commercial focus, Cartier Resources presents a compelling risk-reward proposition with multiple near-term catalysts and substantial revaluation potential should management successfully demonstrate camp-scale mineralization.View Cartier Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/cartier-resources-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Trevor Hall welcomes Cesar Gonzalez of Bonterra Resources (BTR) to discuss ongoing corporate updates and the active gold market in the consolidating Abitibi region. The main focus is the promising drill results from the 100% operated Desmaraisville project, specifically the Hewfran zone extension, which is located near underground workings on the mining lease and being chased up to surface. Bonterra is reworking its program to prioritize drilling this zone and achieve the critical mass needed to justify a quick restart of the operation, which includes an existing mill and permitted infrastructure. Gonzalez explains that given current high gold prices, this mine, historically a 20,000 to 30,000-ounce-per-year operation, is positioned to be very lucrative, supported by known metallurgy and cheap hydroelectricity

Trevor Hall welcomes Matt Manson, CEO of Radisson Mining, to discuss corporate updates regarding the O'Brien project in Quebec. Manson details the recently closed, heavily oversubscribed $25 million institutional financing, which was an deal with no warrant or flow-through provisions. This capital infusion will expand their step-out drill program at O'Brien to 140,000 meters, increasing the number of drill rigs to test the high-grade deposit's depth potential down to two kilometers. Finally, the conversation addresses the ongoing consolidation in the Abitibi region and Radisson's focus on using the drilling success to define the deposit's value and prepare for future resource updates

In this KE Report Company Update, Jon Deluce, President and CEO of Abitibi Metals (CSE:AMQ - OTC:AMQFF - Frankfurt:4KG), provides an update on the B26 Copper-Gold Deposit in Quebec's Abitibi region, where the company is delivering some of its strongest results to date. Key Highlights: High-Grade Drill Results: Latest intercept of 4.46% CuEq over 21.1m (up to ~6% CuEq with gold and silver credits) has driven the expansion of the Phase 3 program to 20,000m with three active rigs. Resource Growth: The 2024 resource stands at 18Mt averaging ~2% CuEq, with modeling showing potential to rise to ~2.7% CuEq at higher metal prices. Expansion Focus: About 80% of drilling targets extensions beyond the resource, including 500m step-outs, aiming to outline a 30+Mt deposit comparable to the historic Selbaie Mine nearby. Funding & Strategy: Fully funded through Q1 2027 with $14M in cash; advancing toward 80% ownership of B26 via a PEA and final equity top-up with SOQUEM (Investissement Québec). Regional Upside/Exploration: 100%-owned Beschefer Gold Project, 7 km away, features strong historical results (best result of roughly 56g/t over 5.5 meters) with drill permits expected soon. Next Steps: Continued drill results, a potential strategic investment, and updates on expansion plans into 2026. If you have any follow up questions for Jon please email me at Fleck@kereport.com.

“We bought these assets when nobody was funding mining. At $4,000 gold, it feels like we won the lottery,” Executive Chairman of LaFleur MineralsFROM EXPLORATION TO PRODUCTION IN RECORD TIMEWith gold prices surpassing US $4,000 per ounce, LaFleur Minerals (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF)(FSE: 3WK0) is seizing a generational opportunity in Quebec's Abitibi Gold Belt. The company's fully permitted, recently upgraded Beacon Gold Mill—valued above $71 million replacement value, positions it among the few small caps ready to transition from exploration to production without years of permitting delays or heavy capital outlay. Feed for the mill will come from LaFleur's 100%-owned Swanson Gold Deposit as primary source, which holds 123,000 oz indicated and 64,500 oz inferred gold, just 60 kilometres away from the mill.BUILDING QUEBEC'S NEXT GOLD PRODUCERThe Executive Chairman describes LaFleur's model as built for near-term cash flow:“Our mill last operated when gold was $1,600. We're restarting it at $4,000 an ounce. The economics speak for themselves.” Trial runs are targeted for December 2025, with commercial production expected by early 2026. LaFleur aims to produce up to 30,000 ounces per year, translating to roughly C$168 million in potential annual output at today's gold prices.KEY ADVANTAGES • Fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill ready for restart that underwent $20 million in refurbishments in 2022 • Swanson Gold Deposit on a mining lease requiring minimal new permitting, district-scale property primed for consolidation with surrounding claims to expand footprint • Strategic location in Quebec's world-class Abitibi district, surrounded by over 100 historical and operational mines, allowing for rapid monetization of mineralized material from nearby gold deposits • Nearby deposits creating a pipeline for future M&A expansionPROVEN TEAM, PERFECT TIMINGThe Executive Chairman through Bullrun Capital, has a track record of financing and building high-growth ventures—including Patriot One Technologies (TSX: PAT) and Xtract One (TSX:XTRA) and brings deep access to institutional capital. Acquiring the Beacon assets out of bankruptcy in 2022, when gold was ~$1,600 and funding was scarce, now looks like a masterstroke.THE OUTLOOKLaFleur plans to ramp up from 900 tons per day to 5,000 tons per day within three years. The company plans expanding its resource base to 3–5 million ounces through targeted acquisitions. With a debt-free, royalty-free mill, a strong Quebec-based operating team, and record-high gold prices, LaFleur Minerals is one of the few juniors positioned to turn ounces into dollars now, not years from now.

Interview with Glenn Mullan, President & CEO of Val-d'Or Mining CorporationOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/val-dor-mining-vzz-new-royalty-story-emulating-recent-success-1729Recording date: 10th October 2025Val-d'Or Mining Corporation employs a prospect generation model centered on staking mineral properties 100%, conducting minimal initial exploration with an annual budget of only $300,000, then partnering with larger mining companies to fund drilling and development work. This approach reduces the need for capital-intensive exploration and limits shareholder dilution typical in junior miners. Their current major partnership with Eldorado Gold involves $36.5 million committed exploration spending across 12 properties in Quebec and Ontario. Val-d'Or earns revenues from this partnership via 10% management fees on Ontario properties they operate, option payments totaling about $200,000 per year, advance royalty payments, and leasing income from their office building.Val-d'Or owns over 50 properties in tier-one mining jurisdictions within Quebec and Ontario, focusing on geological regions like the Abitibi greenstone belt. Their strategic property acquisition targets gaps left between major players such as Agnico Eagle, who consolidated much of the region's geology. By acquiring and thoroughly evaluating properties with modest spending, they attract partners who fund detailed exploration, while Val-d'Or retains royalty interests generally targeting a 2% net smelter return (NSR). As partners meet spending milestones and vest their interests, Val-d'Or's royalties become crystallized, providing long-term revenue without the risks and capital requirements of full mine development.The company's President and CEO, Glenn Mullan, boasts a track record of three successful exits generating over $500 million collectively by selling royalty companies rather than mines. This strategy, combined with the current high gold price environment and the industry's demand for exploration assets, positions Val-d'Or as a compelling investment. Their structure maintains significant insider ownership for stability, while the partnership model minimizes dilution and exploration risk. With drilling commencing on multiple properties and over $36 million committed from Eldorado, Val-d'Or is actively advancing their asset base toward royalty monetization in a robust gold market.In summary, Val-d'Or Mining exemplifies a non-dilutive, prospect generation model leveraging partnerships to develop a portfolio of royalty-bearing properties with diversified near-term revenue, a strong historical track record, and optimized for current market conditions in Canadian gold mining .Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/val-dor-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Matt Manson, President & CEO of Radisson Mining Resources Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/radisson-mining-tsxvrds-reviving-high-grade-gold-in-quebec-with-smart-low-capex-strategy-5941Recording date: 6th October 2025Radisson Mining Resources presents investors with a compelling value proposition in high-grade gold development: exceptional discovery economics, capital-efficient processing strategy, proven management execution, and substantial leverage to rising gold prices. The company is advancing the O'Brien Gold Project in Quebec's world-class Abitibi mining district, where historical production between the 1920s and 1950s established the deposit's credentials through museum-quality visible gold specimens and half-ounce head grades.The investment thesis begins with remarkable discovery economics. Radisson trades at approximately C$150 per ounce of resources while adding new ounces at C$30-40 per ounce discovery costs—a 4:1 spread that creates immediate value with every successful drill result. The company has defined 1.5 million ounces of high-grade gold at 8 grams per tonne in indicated resources and is systematically drilling toward a 3-4 million ounce target. The geological model—mesothermal gold deposits along the prolific Cadillac-Larder Lake Break—provides predictable exploration targets with demonstrated success. CEO Matthew Manson described the approach: "We said okay let's get aggressive with the drilling. Let's do these big stepouts. So let's drill deeper. And yeah, we hit and we've hit everywhere we've drilled."Rather than building standalone processing facilities requiring hundreds of millions in capital, Radisson targets ore processing through existing regional mills. This hub-and-spoke model reduces initial capital requirements to C$175 million for mine development, underground infrastructure, and water treatment. A recent engineering study demonstrated C$500 million net present value at $2,500 gold using only 740,000 ounces—less than half current resources—delivering a 3:1 NPV-to-capex ratio. Mill owners actively seek ore feed to maintain operations, creating competitive dynamics favorable to suppliers.The project benefits from exceptional infrastructure positioning adjacent to highways, existing power lines, and established mining communities. This eliminates costly remote camp construction and enables commuting workforce, reducing both capital requirements and operating costs while improving social acceptability.The board collectively brings experience from nine mine construction projects. Manson successfully led the on-time, on-budget construction of the Renard mine in Quebec and advanced Marathon Gold's Valentine project to recent production. This track record directly addresses execution risk—the primary concern for development-stage mining investments.As a high-grade deposit, O'Brien delivers disproportionate margin expansion as gold prices rise. With mining costs relatively fixed and revenue per tonne increasing directly with gold price, the recent engineering study based on $2,500 gold appears increasingly conservative as prices approach $4,000 per ounce.Prominent resource investor Michael Gentile serves on the board with personal family capital invested, providing both credibility and strategic guidance while supporting European institutional roadshows. The company maintains flexibility to pursue toll milling agreements, joint ventures with regional producers, or corporate transactions—positioning to deliver optimal risk-adjusted returns.Radisson offers exposure to high-grade Quebec gold development with exceptional discovery economics, capital-efficient strategy, proven management, and strong gold price leverage. The combination of immediate value creation through drilling, multiple pathways to development, and substantial upside to rising gold prices creates a compelling risk-reward profile for resource investors seeking exposure to advanced-stage projects with clear paths to production.View Radisson Mining's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/radisson-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Jonathon Deluce of Abitibi Metals wrapped up Beaver Creek with us this year as he provided an exploration update from the B26 project. The company recently published new drill results. We talk through those and the strategies for expansion and definition drilling in this campaign.

Cesar Gonzales of Bonterra Resources provided an update on the two different drilling campaigns happening on their properties in the Abitibi of Canada. At the Desmaraisville South property, drilling is currently underway.  Exploration work at the Phoenix JV with partners Gold Fields is slated for a 15,000m campaign.

Interview with Ivan Fairhall, Managing Director of Pivotal Metals Ltd.Recording date: 26th August 2025Pivotal Metals Limited operates two complementary mining projects in Quebec that highlight the current disconnect between asset quality and market valuation in the junior mining sector. The company's flagship Horden Lake copper project contains 400,000 tons of copper equivalent resources, positioning it well above the scale threshold for strategic interest, yet trades at a $7 million market capitalization that management believes significantly undervalues the underlying assets.Managing Director Ivan Fairhall has spent two years consolidating technical work at Horden Lake, completing metallurgical testing and resource definition to create what he describes as a cohesive development narrative. Despite this progress, the market has not reflected the enhanced technical profile in the company's share price, creating what appears to be a substantial value gap.Rather than pursuing traditional drill-intensive expansion programs, Pivotal has adopted a disciplined capital allocation approach focused on high-return activities. The company is emphasizing metallurgical optimization and strategic partnership discussions for Horden Lake while shifting exploration capital toward its Belleterre projects in Quebec's infrastructure-rich Abitibi region.The Belleterre portfolio encompasses 160 kilometers of greenstone belt geology with multiple untested geophysical anomalies and historical high-grade discoveries dating to the 1960s. Using modern fixed-loop electromagnetic surveys, the company has identified several drill-ready targets that could provide near-term discovery catalysts. The projects benefit from proximity to operating mines and available processing facilities, reducing development risk.Pivotal operates alongside well-funded competitors, including Vior Inc., which raised $40 million for extensive drilling programs on contiguous properties. This regional activity validates the district's prospectivity while creating potential strategic opportunities as major operators like Agnico Eagle seek projects to fill underutilized mills. The combination of advanced development assets and high-grade exploration potential positions Pivotal as a potential beneficiary of improved market sentiment toward quality junior mining companies.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Jon Deluce, Founder & CEO of Abitibi Metals Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/abitibi-metals-cseamq-unlocking-an-185mt-copper-gold-asset-hidden-for-20-years-7224Recording date: 26th August 2025Abitibi Metals Corp. is advancing a high-grade, Quebec-based polymetallic development anchored by the B26 deposit, an asset optioned from SOQUEM, that combines scale, exceptional metallurgy, and infrastructure advantages within a premier mining jurisdiction. The company's updated resource now totals roughly 18.5 million tonnes at about 2.17–2.18% copper equivalent, providing a robust platform for continued growth and technical de-risking within a well-understood volcanic massive sulfide system near the historic Selbaie mine, just 7 kilometers away. With a balance sheet showing approximately $17–18 million in cash and a plan fully financed through Q1 2027, Abitibi is executing an aggressive multi-rig drill campaign to expand the footprint and demonstrate economic scale, targeting a pathway to strategic investment or acquisition by a major.Strategically, Abitibi's partnership with the Quebec government delivers alignment, validation, and capital efficiency, as the company inherits about $25 million of prior investment and leverages existing power and road infrastructure that reduce capital intensity and support year-round operations. The deposit's metallurgy stands out: reported recoveries approach 98% for copper alongside strong gold, zinc, and silver performance, complementing significant gold credits that enhance copper-equivalent grades and improve project optionality across commodity cycles. This combination of grade, recoveries, and infrastructure positions B26 competitively against peers in stable jurisdictions at a time when copper demand from electrification is intensifying and large-scale, high-grade polymetallic inventories are increasingly scarce.Abitibi's current and planned drilling—on the order of ~17,000–20,000 meters this year with an additional ~25,000 meters in 2026—prioritizes step-outs to test continuity at depth and along strike, aiming to grow the deposit toward a 30–50 million tonne profile while advancing toward a preliminary economic assessment targeted within the option earn-in timeline. Management's endgame is clear: prove scale and economics to attract **major-company interest**, capitalizing on Quebec's mining-friendly framework and the district's processing legacy near Selbaie to shorten development pathways and unlock **value** in a critical metals market.View Abitibi Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/abitibi-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Paul Ténière, CEO of Lafleur Minerals Inc.Recording date: 4th August 2025Lafleur Minerals Incorporated is emerging as a compelling opportunity in Quebec's prolific Abitibi gold belt, where CEO Paul Ténière is executing a strategic plan to become a near-term gold producer through recently acquired mining assets from Monarch Mining's bankruptcy proceedings in 2024.The company's foundation rests on two key acquisitions: the Swanson gold project containing approximately 200,000 ounces of gold, and the Beacon gold mill, a fully refurbished processing facility. The Swanson deposit, located 50-60 kilometers north of Val-d'Or, sits on an existing mining lease originally granted to Agnico Eagle in 2009, significantly reducing typical permitting timelines that can extend for years.Lafleur's near-term production strategy centers on bulk sampling 80,000-100,000 tons at Swanson for processing at the Beacon mill. This approach serves multiple objectives: metallurgical testing, revenue generation, and operational experience while maintaining capital efficiency. The company plans to implement ore sorting technology to enhance grade and reduce transportation costs.The Beacon mill represents a critical strategic advantage, having been completely refurbished by Monarch with a $20 million CAD investment before the bankruptcy. With capacity ranging from 750-1,000 tons per day and potential expansion to 2,000-5,000 tons per day, the mill requires only $5-6 million CAD to restart operations.Beyond immediate production, Lafleur targets regional consolidation across its expanded 180-square-kilometer land package, aiming to exceed one million ounces through systematic exploration of additional deposits including Bartec and Jolin targets. The company also sees opportunity in custom milling services, capitalizing on limited regional processing capacity.Operating in an environment where gold has risen from $1,800 to above $3,300 per ounce since acquisition, Lafleur exemplifies how higher prices are revitalizing previously sub-economic deposits, particularly those with existing infrastructure and streamlined development pathways in established mining districts.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Kiran Patankar – President, CEO & Director, Maple Gold Mines Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/maple-gold-mines-tsxvmgm-drill-results-show-path-to-5moz-resource-7008Recording date: 4 May 2025Maple Gold Mines has emerged as a compelling turnaround story in Quebec's premier Abitibi gold region, demonstrating how operational discipline and strategic partnerships can unlock value in today's elevated gold price environment. Under CEO Kiran Patankar's leadership over the past 18 months, the Canadian exploration and development company has transformed from what he describes as "a stagnant and somewhat bloated company" into an efficient operation positioned for growth.The operational restructuring has been dramatic. General and administrative costs have been slashed by 46%, with the company now operating on just $150,000 monthly cash burn while delivering improved exploration results. Drilling efficiency has improved 25%, reducing costs from $400 to $300 per meter and allowing expanded programs within existing budgets. These improvements have translated into renewed market interest, with daily trading volumes increasing from 150,000 to over 600,000 shares following recent drill results.Central to Maple Gold's value proposition is its strategic partnership with Agnico Eagle, one of Canada's premier gold producers and the company's largest shareholder. This relationship provides technical expertise, potential processing solutions, and validation of project quality. "It's a benefit to Maple and Maple shareholders to have the strong partnership that we have," Patankar noted, emphasizing the alignment of interests.The company owns 100% of 3 million ounces of gold resources across district-scale projects in Quebec's Abitibi region, representing a significant shift from previously owning only 50% of assets. Recent drilling has demonstrated expansion potential, with systematic exploration targeting both near-mine growth and district-scale discoveries.Perhaps most intriguingly, Maple Gold is pursuing a dual strategy of continued exploration alongside development studies for smaller-scale production scenarios of 100,000-150,000 ounces annually. This approach could generate cash flow to self-fund future exploration, breaking the traditional junior mining cycle of continuous dilution.Trading at $8 per ounce with a $40 million market cap despite gold prices above $3,300, Maple Gold appears significantly undervalued compared to historical metrics when the company traded at $150 million with only 50% asset ownership at $1,800 gold prices.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/maple-gold-mines-ltdSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Jon Deluce, Founder & CEO of Abitibi Metals Corp.Recording date: 3rd June 2025Abitibi Metals Corp (CSE:AMQ) presents a compelling copper development opportunity through its control of Quebec's B26 deposit, a substantial resource that recently entered public markets for the first time after two decades of government development. The company's combination of asset scale, jurisdictional advantages, and patient capital positioning addresses key investor priorities in the current copper market environment.*Asset Quality and Scale*The B26 deposit represents one of Canada's larger undeveloped copper resources, with 18.5 million tons grading 2.18% copper equivalent. Located in Quebec's established mining region, the asset benefits from strong metallurgical characteristics including 98% copper recovery and 90% gold recovery rates. Significant gold credits in inferred resources enhance overall project economics while expanding potential acquirer interest beyond traditional copper companies.The deposit's technical profile ranks in the top 10% of VMS opportunities globally according to management, with a 1.6-kilometer continuous strike length open in both directions. This expansion potential distinguishes B26 from typical junior-developed assets, as systematic exploration has been limited during its government development phase.*Financial Strength and Deal Structure*Abitibi maintains exceptional financial positioning with $18.4 million cash funding operations through Q1 2027, eliminating near-term dilution pressure. Abitibi Metals completed and confirmed in collaboration with its partner SOQUEM that all requirements to earn a 50% interest in the B26 Polymetallic deposit have been successfully fulfilled. The company has completed over $10 million of its $14.5 million work commitment to progress 80% ownership of B26 ahead of schedule.  This partnership structure provides both government backing and clear pathways to 100% ownership while aligning with Quebec's economic development objectives. The province's mining-friendly regulatory environment and established infrastructure reduce development risk compared to more remote or jurisdictionally challenging locations.*Operational Development and Strategy*CEO Jon Deluce brings relevant industry experience including operational exposure with Kirkland Lake Gold and Barrick, while recent executive additions from O3 Mining and Agnico Eagle strengthen the team's development credentials. The company has transitioned from contractor reliance to full-time operational capabilities, addressing previous execution challenges that impacted market performance.Abitibi's immediate drilling program targets 400-1,000 meter depths using directional techniques to optimize cost efficiency while testing both near-term economic zones and longer-term expansion potential.Investors OutlookThe company's current valuation at approximately half its cash position suggests significant disconnect between asset quality and market recognition. Management is pursuing multiple value catalysts including engineering studies to demonstrate economic viability, aggressive resource and  expansion drilling.Quebec's advantages as a tier-one jurisdiction become increasingly valuable as supply chain security concerns drive premiums for politically stable copper sources. With limited comparable opportunities in the Canadian market and growing institutional interest in copper-gold assets, Abitibi's combination of resource scale, financial strength, and jurisdictional security positions the company favorably for revaluation as operational catalysts unfold through 2025.View Abitibi Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/abitibi-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Hear about travel to the region of Abitibi-Témiscamingue in Quebec as the Amateur Traveler talks to Jennifer Doré Dallas from Chasing Poutine about this out of the way road trip. Why should you go to Abitibi-Témiscamingue? Jennifer says, "Most people don't really know about it outside of Quebec. But in our province, it's really well known, especially for nature. It's a true paradise for nature lovers. It's also historical, bringing us back to log driving and fur trading times. I'll take you from gold mines to microbreweries to pristine lakes. Basically, you're off the beaten path, and what I love about this region is that everybody thinks it's remote, but it's so accessible and it's so easy to travel to."

Interview with Peter Van Alphen, President & CEO of Nuvau Minerals Corp.Recording date: 11th April 2025Nuavu Minerals is set to transform the historic Matagami mining camp in Quebec, Canada through a dual strategy of near-term production and extensive exploration across its substantial 1,300 square kilometer property. Under the leadership of President and CEO Peter van Alphen, the company is nearing completion of an earning agreement with Glencore that will grant them 100% ownership of this past-producing base metal asset.The company plans a two-phase production approach, beginning with restarting the recently closed Bracemac McLeod mine, which contains approximately one million tons of resource with a potential to expand to two million tons. This "starter mine" would provide roughly three years of production while the company develops the Caber complex on the western side of the property. The Caber complex contains approximately 10 years of defined resources across three deposits, representing the first significant development on the western portion of the property in the camp's 60-year production history.A key advantage for Nuavu is the relatively modest capital requirement of approximately $50 million to restart operations, including refurbishing the existing 3,000-ton-per-day mill, which they have the option to acquire for $5 million. Van Alphen estimates the total infrastructure value included in the deal at $300-400 million.The exploration potential is equally compelling, with over 80 VMS-style deposit targets identified across the property. Perhaps most intriguing is the recently discovered gold potential, which includes what may be the highest gold grain count ever found in the Abitibi region, with over 2,000 grains of pristine gold particles per 10kg sample. The property sits on the Sunday Lake deformation zone, which hosts major gold deposits along strike.Van Alphen brings valuable experience from FNX Mining, Lake Shore Gold, Tahoe Resources, and Premier Gold, with a track record of revitalizing past-producing mines through hands-on management. "This could be the FNX of Quebec," he notes, drawing parallels to previous successful mine restarts.With strong community support in Matagami, a mining-friendly jurisdiction in Quebec, and a targeted production start in 2027, Nuavu is positioning itself at the intersection of near-term production potential and significant exploration upside in both base metals and gold, creating multiple potential value drivers for the company as it works to revitalize this historic mining region.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Victor Cantore, President & CEO of Amex Exploration Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/amex-exploration-tsxv-amx-133m-in-annual-free-cash-flow-within-reach-at-quebec-gold-project-6378Recording date: 11th February 2025Amex Exploration is advancing its Perron gold project in Quebec's Abitibi region, pursuing a dual strategy of resource expansion and development validation. The project currently hosts 1.6 million ounces of gold across multiple high-grade zones, with only 20-25% of the 4,518-hectare property explored to date.The company's 2024 preliminary economic assessment (PEA) outlines robust project economics. The study projects average annual production of 101,000 ounces of gold over a 10-year mine life, with higher production of 124,000 ounces in the first five years. All-in sustaining costs are estimated at US$807/oz life-of-mine, dropping to US$739/oz in the first five years. At a US$2,000/oz gold price, the project demonstrates an after-tax NPV(5%) of $525 million and an IRR of 40.2%, with projected cumulative after-tax free cash flow of $767 million.Amex has two drill rigs currently operating on the property and is planning a balanced approach to its 2025 exploration program. The company will split its remaining funds equally between infill drilling to upgrade existing resources and exploration drilling to expand known zones and make new discoveries. The technical team is utilizing artificial intelligence and machine learning to identify the most promising targets in the unexplored 75-80% of the property.On the development front, Amex is evaluating several initiatives including a potential preliminary feasibility study and a bulk sample program similar to Osisko Mining's approach at their Windfall project. The company has also begun early-stage permitting work.Mid-tier producer Eldorado Gold holds a 9.9% strategic stake in Amex and provides quarterly technical guidance through regular meetings. While Amex is focused on advancing Perron independently, CEO Victor Cantore acknowledges the possibility of eventual acquisition interest from major miners given the project's high-grade nature and location in the mining-friendly Quebec jurisdiction.The investment thesis for Amex centers on its high-grade resource base, strong PEA economics, significant exploration upside, and strategic backing from Eldorado Gold. The company is operating in Quebec's Abitibi Greenstone Belt, a prolific gold region that has historically produced over 200 million ounces. With gold prices at multi-year highs and growing investor interest in development-stage companies, Amex appears well-positioned to deliver value through both resource growth and project advancement.Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.com/companies/amex-explorationSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Each project boasts over 5 million ounces of gold resources, placing them in the coveted "world-class" category at a time when such large-scale development projects are becoming increasingly scarce in Canada.The company's flagship Springpole project is advancing through the final stages of the federal Environmental Assessment process, with approval anticipated by the end of 2025. The Duparquet project, located in Quebec's prolific Abitibi gold belt, is also progressing with an environmental impact study underway.The timing appears favorable for First Mining, as the gold mining industry faces a significant challenge in replenishing reserves. Recent years have seen six major gold mines built in Canada, with Osisko's Windfall project becoming the seventh to enter construction. This development surge has left few large-scale projects in the pipeline, creating a potential supply gap that major producers will need to address.The scarcity of advanced gold projects, particularly those exceeding 5 million ounces, has driven up valuations in recent transactions. Projects of this scale in Canada have consistently commanded prices of $500 million or more, even before securing final permits. Notable examples include Newcrest Mining's $2.8 billion acquisition of Brucejack and Kirkland Lake Gold's $4.9 billion purchase of Detour Lake.Despite these comparable transactions, First Mining's market capitalization stands at just C$150 million, suggesting potential upside as the company progresses through key permitting milestones. The company has demonstrated capital efficiency by raising over $60 million through non-dilutive means over the past five years, including asset sales, royalty creation, and strategic partnerships.CEO Dan Wilton believes the industry is approaching a critical juncture, noting that only three projects are likely to secure approvals and permits for construction before 2030, with Springpole among them. This scarcity, combined with depleting reserves at major producers and a strong gold price environment, creates a compelling opportunity for First Mining.The current market dynamics, characterized by rising gold prices amid economic uncertainty and major producers' urgent need to replenish reserves, provide a supportive backdrop for advanced gold developers. With two large-scale projects advancing through permitting in tier-one jurisdictions, First Mining offers investors exposure to this emerging opportunity in the gold sector.View First Mining Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/first-mining-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Kiran Patankar, President & CEO of Maple Gold MinesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/maple-gold-mines-tsxvmgm-100-ownership-of-3moz-quebec-gold-project-with-major-producer-backing-5946Recording date: 20th December 2024Maple Gold Mines (MGM) has established itself as a notable player in Quebec's prolific Abitibi greenstone belt with its flagship Douay Gold Project, which hosts over 3 million ounces of pit-constrained gold resources. The company's resource base comprises 75% inferred and 25% indicated resources, supported by extensive historical drilling of over 250,000 meters.The company recently consolidated 100% ownership of a substantial 400-square-kilometer land package along the Casa Berardi Deformation Zone. This strategic holding includes the past-producing mine that historically produced high-grade gold at 6-10 g/t over a 20-year period. The Douay deposit itself spans 6 kilometers by 2 kilometers and straddles a first-order structure known for hosting significant gold deposits.Under the leadership of CEO Kiran Patankar, MGM has outlined an ambitious growth strategy for 2025. The company is launching a 10,000-meter drill program in January 2025, targeting both resource expansion and new discoveries. Management aims to grow the resource beyond 4-5 million ounces while advancing technical studies to demonstrate the project's economic viability.Notably, MGM maintains a strategic relationship with major producer Agnico Eagle, providing significant validation of the asset's potential. While the company has consolidated 100% ownership, this partnership offers valuable operational expertise and strategic alignment.From a valuation perspective, MGM appears notably undervalued with an EV/oz of C$4 compared to recent regional transactions, such as the O3 Mining takeout at C$75/oz. The company is fully funded for the next 12-18 months of exploration and development activities, with plans for an updated resource estimate in the second half of 2025, followed by a preliminary economic assessment.The investment thesis is strengthened by favorable macro conditions in the gold sector, driven by geopolitical tensions, inflation concerns, and strong central bank buying. The scarcity of large-scale gold assets in tier-1 jurisdictions further enhances MGM's strategic position.With its significant resource base, district-scale exploration potential, strong strategic backing, and clear development pathway, Maple Gold Mines is positioned to capitalize on the robust gold market fundamentals while systematically advancing the Douay project toward a potential development decision or strategic transaction.

Interview with Victor Cantore, President & CEO of Amex Exploration Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/amex-exploration-tsxvamx-upcoming-mre-and-pea-for-high-grade-perron-gold-project-in-quebec-5492Recording date: 5th December 2024Amex Exploration (AMX) is advancing a standout high-grade gold project in the prolific Abitibi region of Quebec, Canada that boasts robust economics, significant exploration upside, and a clear path to production.The recently published Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) highlights the project's potential to be a profitable standalone mine, with 594,100 of measured and indicated ounces of gold at 4.28 g/t and 1,049,650 of inferred ounces at 3.80 g/t. The unique combination of size and grade enables a low-capex, high-margin operation, with initial capex estimated at just $230 million and life-of-mine all-in sustaining costs (AISC) at $807 per ounce.The PEA outlines robust project economics including an average annual production of 124,000 ounces of gold for years 1-5 of a 10 year life of mine. At $2,000 gold, the after-tax IRR is 40.2% with a quick 1.8 year payback. The project boasts a $133 million in average annual free cash flow, or $1.33 billion over the life of mine.While the PEA is already attractive, Amex sees potential to further enhance economics through near-term exploration. The deposit remains open in all directions and Amex plans to ramp up drilling in 2025 to grow the resource, targeting areas within the current resource that have seen limited drilling to date. CEO Victor Cantore believes this offers the best return for shareholders, stating he "would love to put out a new PEA and resource in late 2025" and that he'd "rather spend $6-7 million finding new zones, finding another high grade zone" as that's "how you're enhancing value for shareholders."In parallel, Amex is advancing permitting and environmental baseline work to further de-risk the project. The permitting process in Quebec typically takes 2-3 years, putting Amex on track for a production decision by late 2025.With its high-grade resource, robust economics, exploration upside, and visibility to production, Amex stands out in a market where profitable ounces are increasingly scarce. The Abitibi region's world-class infrastructure, skilled labor, and low-cost renewable power further strengthen the investment case. As gold miners contend with rising costs and grades, Amex is well-positioned to attract investor interest and surface shareholder value.View Amex Exploration's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/amex-explorationSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
