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

Interview with Dan Wilton, CEO of First Mining Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/first-mining-gold-tsxff-ceo-believes-they-are-a-standout-in-a-dwindling-field-of-advanced-assets-6314Recording date: 4th February 2025First Mining Gold (TSX: FF) is strategically positioned with two of Canada's largest undeveloped gold projects - Springpole in Ontario and Duparquet in Quebec. 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

Formation Metals CEO Deepak Varshney joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share the company has announced the signing of an option agreement to acquire an undivided 100% interest in the highly prospective N2 property from Wallbridge Mining Company Limited. This strategic acquisition bolsters Formation Metals' presence in the prolific Abitibi subprovince of Northwestern Quebec, a region known for its abundant gold resources and production history. The N2 property spans 87 claims, encompassing approximately 4,400 hectares of land located 25 kilometers south of Matagami, Quebec. Conveniently accessible year-round via provincial highways and well-maintained logging roads, the property is situated along the Casa Berardi mine trend. This geological corridor hosts numerous world-class, multi-million-ounce gold deposits, further highlighting the potential of the N2 property. Within the property, six known zones of gold mineralization have been identified. Four of these zones yielded a historical resource estimate of 18.2 million tonnes grading 1.48 grams per tonne gold at a cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t. Despite this promising historical data, the property has not been drilled since 2008, leaving the mineralization zones open for significant expansion both along strike and at depth. Varshney emphasized the company's plan to unlock the full potential of the property by advancing the known gold zones. Formation Metals will undertake drill programs designed to test extensions of the historical resources, focusing on expanding the mineralization along strike and deeper into the system. This targeted exploration strategy aligns with Formation Metals' broader objective of building a portfolio of high-quality assets in renowned mining districts. The acquisition of the N2 property marks an important step for Formation Metals as it looks to establish itself as a significant player in the gold mining sector, leveraging the untapped potential of this well-located and resource-rich asset. #proactiveinvestors #formationmetals #cse #fomo #mining #gold #GoldExploration #JuniorMining #QuebecGold #AbitibiBelt #MiningUpdates #BaseMetals #GoldInvesting #ResourceGrowth

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to discuss three junior gold resource companies that have released important news catalysts in early 2025, where he is attracted to their current value proposition.   We start off discussing the high-grade gold intercept over a wide width that Goliath Resources Ltd (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF) released to the market this morning.  In drill hole# GD-24-260 it intercepted the highest concentration of visible gold and the best high-grade gold drill hole to date at the Surebet Discovery down in the Bonanza Zone, returning 34.52 g/t AuEq (34.47 Au and 3.96 Ag) over 39.00 meters, including 132.93 g/t AuEq (132.78 Au and 12.98 Ag) over 10.00 meters, and 166.04 g/t AuEq (165.84 Au and 16.07 Ag) over 8.00 meters.   Next we pivot over to news released on January 9, 2025 from Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (OTCQX: AMXEF) that recent drilling has continued to expand the footprint of multiple zones at its flagship Perron Project, located in northwestern Abitibi, Quebec. New exploration results were released from the Denise Zone, E2 Zone, Grey Cat Zone, Gratien Zone, and JT Zone. These high-grade intercepts, have all shown metal factors significantly above this PEA threshold, and the management team released statements indicating that these intercepts will contribute additional ounces to the mine plan.   Wrapping up we got Erik's thoughts on why he is animated by the longer-term value proposition at Osisko Development Corp. (NYSE: ODV, TSXV: ODV) where on Jan. 09, 2025 they announced the appointment of David Rouleau as Vice President, Project Development. This appointment aligns with the Company's strategic focus on building an operations-driven team to advance its flagship 100%-owned Cariboo Gold Project located in central British Columbia, Canada.  Erik expands on the potential to go from their Phase 1 to Phase 2 development plans over the next few years, increasing throughput and ounces produced once a construction decision is made, and that he sees the project to be of significant size in a tier 1 jurisdiction to rerate higher over time.   * In full disclosure, the 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.  Additionally, Shad holds a position in both Goliath Resources and Amex Exploration at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Cesar Gonzales, Executive Chairman of Bonterra Resources, discusses the current landscape of gold exploration in the Abitibi region, highlighting recent mergers and acquisitions that impact Bonterra.

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.

Peter Van Alphen, President and CEO of Nuvau Minerals (TSX.V:NMC) joins me to introduce this Company that just started trading today on the TSX Venture.    Nouveau Minerals is earning-in to be the 100% owner of the critical minerals project, the Metagami Project, located in the Abitibi region of central Quebec. This project has a history of 60 years of production and significant existing infrastructure, having been an old Glencore asset acquired through the Xtrada acquisition.    We discuss the detailed plan for Nuvau Minerals to attain 100% ownership of the Metagami asset through staged payments and work programs, aiming for completion by March 2025. Peter highlights the strategic importance of the Metagami Lake mill, which is crucial for the company's operations and the lack of other processing facilities in the region.

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

Interview with Dan Wilton, CEO of First Mining Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/first-mining-gold-tsxvff-gold-developer-eyes-200oz-in-the-ground-upside-5825Recording date: 17th September 2024First Mining Gold (TSX:FF) is positioning itself as a key player in the gold mining sector, with a focus on developing two of Canada's largest undeveloped gold projects. The company's strategy centers on advancing these assets through critical stages of development, potentially creating significant value for investors in a market facing a scarcity of large-scale gold projects.First Mining Gold boasts two key assets that form the cornerstone of its portfolio. The Springpole Gold Project in Ontario stands out as one of Canada's largest undeveloped gold projects. The company is on the verge of submitting its final environmental assessment for Spring Pole, with the goal of securing environmental approval by the end of 2025. This project offers significant leverage to gold prices, with every $100 increase in the gold price potentially adding $250 million US to its after-tax Net Present Value.The company's second major asset is the Duparquet Gold Project in Quebec, situated in the renowned Abitibi gold belt. Duparquet hosts substantial resources, with 3.5 million ounces in the Indicated category and an additional 2.5 million ounces Inferred. Ongoing exploration aims to test the high-grade potential at depth, and the company is targeting an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for Duparquet after the ongoing 2024 drilling program.First Mining Gold's strategic position aligns well with current industry trends. The scarcity of large, permitted gold projects in tier-one jurisdictions, coupled with major producers' growing need to replenish their project pipelines, puts the company in a favorable position. Additionally, stabilizing input costs and resilient gold prices could potentially improve project economics. As CEO Dan Wilton notes, "We've done the hard yards... we've done the work and so now I think it does put the projects in a pretty interesting light."The company has demonstrated financial prudence in its approach to project advancement. Over the past four years, First Mining Gold has generated over $60 million in cash from its asset portfolio without resorting to shareholder dilution. This strategy has enabled the company to progress its key projects through challenging market conditions. However, it's important to note that additional financing will likely be required as the projects move into future development stages.For investors considering First Mining Gold, there are several potential upsides to consider. These include significant leverage to gold prices, strategic optionality in terms of project development paths, the scarcity value of large-scale projects in stable jurisdictions, and exploration upside, particularly at Duparquet. As always, investors should still be aware of the risks inherent in mining development. These include permitting uncertainties, substantial capital requirements for development, potential gold price volatility, and the execution risks associated with mine development.In the near term, investors should watch for several key catalysts that could impact the company's value. These include the imminent submission of the final environmental assessment for Spring Pole, the upcoming updated PEA for Duparquet expected in Q1 2025, and ongoing exploration results, particularly from the deeper drilling program at Duparquet. These events could provide valuable insights into the projects' potential and the company's progress in advancing its assets.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-tsx-v-mgm-3moz-unlocked-through-company-restructure-5768Recording date: 11th September 2024Maple Gold Mines (TSXV:MGM) has emerged as a revitalized player in Quebec's prolific Abitibi gold belt, following a significant corporate transformation over the past year. The company now controls 100% of a 400 square kilometer land package hosting approximately 3 million ounces of gold resources, positioning itself as an attractive investment opportunity in the junior gold exploration sector.Central to Maple Gold's transformation is the restructuring of its partnership with Agnico Eagle, one of the world's largest gold producers. Agnico Eagle has become a 19.9% strategic shareholder in Maple Gold, providing not only financial backing but also valuable technical expertise. This partnership lends credibility to Maple Gold's projects and approach, suggesting long-term potential recognized by a major industry player.The company's flagship Douay-Joutel project encompasses the Douay deposit and the past-producing high-grade Joutel mine complex. With full control of these assets, Maple Gold is now poised to execute a more focused and potentially value-accretive exploration program. The company plans a 7,500-10,000 meter drill program for the upcoming winter season, targeting both resource expansion and potential new discoveries.Importantly, Maple Gold's strategy extends beyond mere resource expansion. The company is focused on demonstrating economic viability, with a clear target of advancing towards a pre-feasibility study showing a $300 million NPV. This aligns with Agnico Eagle's criteria for further involvement, providing investors with a tangible milestone to track.Quebec's Abitibi gold belt offers Maple Gold significant advantages as a mining jurisdiction. The region boasts excellent infrastructure, supportive government policies, and substantial financial incentives for mineral exploration. These factors could potentially reduce development costs and timelines, enhancing the project's economic attractiveness.From a valuation perspective, Maple Gold appears to be trading at a discount to its intrinsic value. With a market capitalization that values its gold resources at around $6 per attributable ounce, there seems to be substantial room for value re-rating as the company executes its plans.Key catalysts for Maple Gold include results from the planned winter drill program, potential resource updates or new discoveries, progress towards economic studies, and ongoing project optimization. These events could drive share price appreciation in the near to medium term.However, investors should be mindful of the risks inherent in junior gold exploration. These include exploration risk, market risk related to gold prices and overall sentiment, execution risk, and potential future dilution from additional financing rounds.Maple Gold's management team brings a mix of geological, engineering, and corporate development expertise, which is crucial for navigating the challenges of advancing a large-scale gold project. The company's clear focus on demonstrating economic viability sets it apart from many peers in the junior exploration space.For investors seeking exposure to gold exploration in a top-tier jurisdiction, Maple Gold offers a compelling mix of resource scale, exploration upside, strategic backing, and jurisdictional advantages. As the company executes its plans in the coming months, it has the potential to deliver significant value creation for shareholders willing to accept the inherent risks of the junior mining sector.View Maple Gold Mines' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/maple-gold-mines-ltdSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Matt Manson, President & CEO of Radisson Mining Resources Inc.Recording date: 11th September 2024Radisson Mining Resources presents an compelling investment opportunity in the gold sector, focusing on the revival of the historic O'Brien gold mine in Quebec's prolific Abitibi region. Under new leadership and with a pragmatic development strategy, Radisson is positioning itself to potentially become Quebec's next gold producer while minimizing capital expenditure and risk.The O'Brien project boasts a current indicated resource of 1 million ounces at an impressive grade of 10 g/t gold, with management believing there's potential to grow this to 2-3 million ounces. This high-grade resource, combined with the project's strategic location and excellent infrastructure, sets a strong foundation for development.Key investment highlights underscore Radisson's potential. The O'Brien project's high-grade resource, with 10 g/t gold, positions it among the top undeveloped gold projects globally, hinting at robust economics. Exploration upside is significant, with an ongoing 35,000-meter drill program aimed at expanding the resource. Results are expected throughout 2024, with a resource update anticipated by mid-2025. The project's strategic location on Highway 117 in the Abitibi region provides excellent infrastructure and proximity to operating mills. Radisson's low-capex development strategy, exemplified by the recent MOU with IAMGold to potentially use their nearby Doyon mill, could significantly reduce initial capital requirements and accelerate production timeline. The company's experienced leadership, including CEO Matthew Manson, brings a wealth of successful mine development expertise. By potentially outsourcing milling and tailings management, Radisson can focus on optimizing crucial underground mining operations. Lastly, strong local support is evident, with about 35% of shares held by high net worth regional stakeholders, providing a stable shareholder base and underlining community backing.CEO Matthew Manson summarizes the opportunity: "There's a neat little thing to be done here right which is going to make money and go for a long time and satisfy a lot of aspirations." This encapsulates Radisson's pragmatic approach to developing a high-grade gold asset in a premier jurisdiction.While detailed economic studies are pending, back-of-the-envelope calculations suggest potential for a high-margin operation. The company's strategy of keeping capital expenditures low by leveraging existing infrastructure aims to maximize potential returns to shareholders.Key near-term catalysts include ongoing drill results, a potential resource update in 2025, and progress on the MOU with IAMGold. The completion of a preliminary economic assessment would provide investors with a clearer picture of the project's economic potential.As with any mining development project, risks remain. These include geological uncertainties, execution risks, gold price volatility, and potential regulatory or financing challenges. However, Radisson's approach appears well-suited to navigate these challenges.For investors seeking exposure to advanced-stage gold exploration with near-term production potential in a stable jurisdiction, Radisson Mining Resources offers an intriguing opportunity. The combination of high grades, strategic location, experienced management, and a capital-efficient development strategy positions the company well for potential value creation in the coming years.View Radisson Mining Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/radisson-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Radisson Mining has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with IAMGOLD Corporation to assess the design criteria for processing mined material from Radisson's O'Brien Gold Project at the nearby Doyon gold mill, part of IAMGOLD's Doyon-Westwood mine complex. The Doyon mill is located 21 kilometres west of O'Brien within Quebec's Abitibi region and directly accessible along Trans-Canada Highway 117. CEO Matt Manson provides his commentary on the announcement.

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me to discuss three junior gold exploration companies with recent news out to the market; where he is attracted to the current value proposition.   First Nordic Metals Corp.  (TSXV: FNM) (OTCQB: FNMCF) announced on September 9 an exploration update on its 100%-owned Storjuktan project located on the Gold Line belt, northern Sweden. We discuss how this Storjuktan Project along with the Paubäcken project represent the kinds of blue-sky upside along the 100km of strike, while the Barsele gold project, with significant gold resources underpins the current value of the company.   Headwater Gold (CSE: HWG) (OTCQB: HWAUF) announced on Sept 9th that the Company and Centerra Gold Inc. have agreed to a strategic investment under which Centerra will acquire 9.9% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. Erik was surprised that their recent news of staking the two new projects in Nevada, that we discussed last week, or this news of bringing in a larger producer as a strategic investor didn't do much to change the company valuation and just speaks to the sentiment environment we are still in.   Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (OTCQX: AMXEF) announced September 5th, that it has completed a Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") on the company's flagship Perron Project in the northwestern Abitibi region of Quebec. The MRE showed open pit and underground stope constrained 594,100 of measured and indicated ounces at 4.28 g/t Au and 1,049,650 of inferred ounces at 3.80 g/t Au, for a total of 1.6Million ounces of gold in all categories. The stock sold off by over 40% initially, and then over 50% since releasing this resource estimate, and we discussed the potential overreaction by the market that was expecting a larger MRE and the potential value arbitrage.   * In full disclosure, the 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.   * In full disclosure, Shad is also a shareholder of Amex Exploration at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Interview with Terry Lynch, CEO of Power NickelOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/power-nickel-tsxvpnpn-growing-high-grade-resource-4918Recording date: 4th June 2024Power Nickel (TSXV:PNPN) is a junior mining company that has made a remarkable discovery at its NISK project in Quebec's Abitibi region. The recently uncovered Lion Zone has emerged as a game-changer for the company, boasting exceptionally high-grade nickel, copper, platinum group metals (PGMs), gold, and silver mineralization.Drill results from the Lion Zone have been outstanding, with numerous holes yielding grades ranging from 3% to an astounding 30% copper equivalent over substantial widths. Importantly, the mineralization starts at surface and has been defined to a depth of 275m, with the main zone spanning 100m in width. The company estimates that the Lion Zone could already host a couple million tonnes of high-grade material, with significant potential for expansion.Power Nickel's CEO, Terry Lynch, believes that there are likely multiple high-grade shoots that could be connected to the main NISK nickel sulfide body, located 5-12km away. In parallel with drilling, Power Nickel is collaborating with CVMR, the world's largest private nickel refinery, on metallurgical testing to potentially produce high-purity nickel powder. This value-added product could command a substantial premium over standard nickel concentrate, significantly enhancing project economics.Power Nickel is well-funded to aggressively advance the NISK project, having recently raised $2M and benefiting from the exercise of in-the-money warrants. The company's strong shareholder base includes at least 11 billionaires and major mining investors such as Robert Friedland, providing both validation and financial support.The company is launching a $2.4M, 30,000m drill program focused on the Lion Zone, with the goal of delineating a multi-million ounce gold equivalent resource by summer. Investors can anticipate a steady stream of drill results and key catalysts over the next 6-12 months.With a tight share structure and low market capitalization (~C$30M), Power Nickel offers investors substantial leverage to exploration success. The company's partnership with CVMR and its location in a top mining jurisdiction further de-risk the project and enhance its appeal.As the global demand for critical minerals continues to surge, driven by the accelerating trends of decarbonization and electrification, companies like Power Nickel that can make significant discoveries and quickly advance them to production are well-positioned to create substantial shareholder value.View Power Nickel's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/power-nickelSign 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-tsxvamx-systematically-advancing-perron-towards-production-4535Recording date: 5th June 2024Amex Exploration (TSXV:AMX) is an emerging gold explorer and developer with a potential world-class discovery on its hands at the Perron project in Quebec's prolific Abitibi region. With a series of high-grade gold zones, upcoming catalysts, and district-scale exploration upside, Amex offers a compelling opportunity for investors to gain exposure to a new gold story in a Tier-1 jurisdiction.The Perron project is anchored by the High Grade Zone (HGZ), which has delivered drill intercepts of 4.30 m of 23.81 g/t , 6.55 m of 9.57 g/t and numerous other 10+ g/t gold hits. Critically, this high-grade mineralization shows excellent continuity over a 1km strike length and remains open in all directions. The HGZ is characterised by a sub-vertical geometry that is ideal for low-cost, high-productivity underground bulk mining methods.To demonstrate the economic potential of Perron, Amex is working towards delivering a maiden mineral resource estimate (MRE) in the near-term, followed by a preliminary economic assessment (PEA). The MRE will provide a first look at the potential size and grade of the deposit, while the PEA will lay out the anticipated mining scenario and project economics.Importantly, metallurgical testing indicates the gold at Perron is amenable to simple, low-cost processing methods with high recovery rates. Initial testing on the HGZ returned 99% gold recovery using just gravity separation, while testing on the broader mineralized package achieved 95% recovery with a conventional gravity-flotation-cyanidation flowsheet.While the MRE and PEA represent key milestones, they are still just a snapshot in time for a project with considerable exploration upside. Perron hosts over 20 km of prospective gold-bearing structures, with limited drilling outside of the HGZ area to date. Additionally, the volcanic rocks to the south of the HGZ, which are considered highly prospective for new gold discoveries, remain largely untested.As Amex continues to advance and de-risk Perron, the project is likely to attract attention as a potential acquisition target. Amex's strategic shareholder, Eldorado Gold (9.9% ownership stake), could be a natural acquirer given their existing presence in the region. With a market cap of ~C$160M, Amex trades at a substantial discount to the potential value of the Perron project based on peer comparisons. As upcoming catalysts like the MRE and PEA help to crystallize this value, Amex could be poised for a significant re-rating. The company is well-funded to deliver these milestones with five drills turning to drive further discovery.In summary, Amex Exploration represents a unique opportunity to gain exposure to a high-grade, district-scale gold discovery in the making at an attractive valuation. With a world-class asset, upcoming catalysts, and significant exploration upside, Amex is well-positioned to emerge as Quebec's next big gold story.View Amex Exploration's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/amex-explorationSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Dan Wilton, CEO of First Mining Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/first-mining-gold-tsxff-investment-case-for-top-10-gold-developer-4797Recording date: 15th March 2024First Mining Gold (TSX:FF) offers investors a compelling opportunity to gain exposure to two of the largest undeveloped gold projects in Canada. The company's flagship Springpole project in Ontario hosts 4.6 million ounces of gold reserves and is approaching the final stages of a lengthy permitting process. Meanwhile, the Duparquet project in Quebec provides additional optionality and exploration upside with a 5.3 million ounce resource.First Mining believes the company's projects are scarce, strategic assets that will be increasingly sought after by major gold producers looking to replenish depleted reserves. With several key de-risking milestones on the horizon, Wilton sees potential for a significant re-rating of the company's shares as the underlying asset value is recognized.At Springpole, First Mining is nearing the end of a comprehensive environmental assessment (EA) process that has been underway since 2018. The company plans to submit its final EA report this summer, incorporating feedback from regulators and local indigenous communities. Approval of the EA, which First Mining anticipates by the end of 2025, would mark a major de-risking event for the project.Concurrent with the EA process, First Mining is working to advance a definitive feasibility study on Springpole. The company has already completed over 200,000 meters of drilling on the deposit and believes it is well-positioned to deliver a robust study that will highlight the project's economic potential.At Duparquet, First Mining sees potential for resource growth and a streamlined development path. The project benefits from its location in the Abitibi greenstone belt, a prolific mining district with established infrastructure and several operating mills. First Mining is currently drilling to expand the resource and is evaluating the potential for a smaller-scale, lower capex operation that could leverage existing processing capacity in the region.Underpinning the investment thesis is a view that advanced-stage gold projects in attractive mining jurisdictions are becoming increasingly scarce. Wilton points to the unprecedented build-out of projects in Canada in recent years and the lack of new discoveries to replace them. As major producers face declining reserves and grades, he believes they will increasingly look to acquire or partner on high-quality development assets like Springpole and Duparquet.For investors, First Mining offers a leveraged bet on two strategically located, multi-million ounce gold projects in a tier-one jurisdiction. With a market capitalization of just over $200 million, the company appears to be trading at a significant discount to the underlying value of its assets. As First Mining delivers on key de-risking catalysts in the coming months and years, there is potential for a re-rating of its shares and eventual M&A interest from larger gold producers.View First Mining Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/first-mining-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

$AMQ $ANQFF drills on-site at the B26 Polymetallic Deposit (“B26” or the “Deposit”). The Company is currently completing its winter drill program at the Deposit, where a minimum of 10,000 metres is targeted by the end of March under the first phase of a fully funded 30,000-metre 2024 field season. This is the Maiden Drill Program at the B26 Deposit (Ind: 7.0MT @ 2.94% Cu Eq & Inf: 4.4MT @ 2.97% Cu Eq) Recorded Feb 13th 2023 Since recording this news was released: https://ceo.ca/@newswire/abitibi-metals-provides-drill-program-update-at-the "To date, fourteen holes have been completed, totalling 4,275 metres.

Interview with Pascal Hamelin, President & CEO of Abcourt MinesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/abcourt-mines-tsxvabi-can-abcourt-unlock-high-grade-gold-potential-4532Recording date: 2nd February 2024Quebec Junior Primed for Self-Funded Growth SpurtAbcourt Mines provides investors a unique opportunity to capitalize on reviving a past-producing gold mine in Quebec while avoiding typical junior miner dilution from endless equity financings. The company has methodically updated infrastructure and modeled high-grade narrow vein deposits at its Sleeping Giant property over recent years. With the 750-900 ton per day on-site mill now set for production startup in Q1 2024, near-term cash flows unlock the potential for exponential resource expansion.Initial processing will begin on 8,000 tons of stockpiled material grading 6-8 g/t gold generating potentially c.$500,000 per month net.. However, Abcourt has already identified nearly 100,000 additional ounces grading above 10 g/t accessible right near existing tunnels that is not encompassed in the current 500,000-ounce resource estimate. According to President and CEO Pascal Hamelin, first-hand knowledge of deposit structures has revealed considerable upside even compared to recently updated modelling. The company now has the properly mapped deposits to efficiently target drilling for rapid resource delineation after years spent playing catchup.With the mill capable of driving upwards of $100 million in annual sales at reaching capacity, the ability to self-fund this growth is what sets Abcourt apart from peers. Hamelin estimates production can generate approximately $500,000 per month in free cash flows that can go directly towards exploration expenses. This prevents additional dilution to current shareholders while expanding gold reserves to extend the current 8-year mapped mine life. Beyond Sleeping Giant itself, Abcourt also controls over 13 distinct regional zones that can provide supplementary mill feed as resources grow across its wider land package.The market continues underestimating just how substantial production upside and resource growth funded through internal cash flows can drive shares higher. Investors have an opportunity to position in Abcourt Mines while the stock flies under the radar before realizing upside from a fully-funded search for multi-million ounces of gold across Abitibi.—View Abcourt Mines' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/abcourt-mines-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
