Yukon prospector Bernie Kreft joins Mining Stock Daily for a long-form conversation on mineral exploration, project generation, and the decades of persistence required to build successful discoveries in Canada's north. Bernie reflects on the early struggles of the business, from borrowing money for Christmas presents while raising young children to eventually helping generate projects tied to discoveries like Banyan, Sitka, and American Eagle's NAK copper-gold system. The discussion dives deep into how Bernie evaluates ground today, why permitting and access matter just as much as geology, and how years of field experience have shaped his instinct for identifying scalable mineral systems. He also shares stories from decades spent prospecting throughout the Yukon and British Columbia, including the realities of placer mining, following gold-bearing systems back to their source, and recognizing when a property truly has mine-building potential. Bernie explains why he believes the best prospectors think from the “top down,” focusing not only on discovery but on whether a project can realistically become a mine decades into the future. The conversation also highlights the role family plays in the Kreft business, with Bernie working alongside his sons while now thinking about future generations and building something that extends far beyond a single discovery or market cycle. From couch-side deal negotiations to prospecting trips with his children and grandchildren, this episode captures the deeply personal side of exploration and why the search for mineral wealth remains as much about legacy as geology.______Terrahutton empowers junior mining companies to secure investment with immersive, interactive, and visually striking storytelling.

Interview with Tara Christie, President & CEO of Banyan Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/banyan-gold-corp-tsxvbyn-pea-nears-as-franco-nevada-royalty-purchase-signals-value-9434Recording date: 3rd April 2026Banyan Gold (TSXV:BYN) is a Yukon-focused gold developer whose AurMac project hosts approximately 7.6 million ounces of gold resources across 2.2 million indicated and 5.4 million inferred ounces. The company trades at roughly US$43 per resource ounce, a level that President and CEO Tara Christie argues is a significant and narrowing discount relative to peers, and one that several external data points suggest does not reflect the underlying project value.The most significant external reference is Franco-Nevada's recent acquisition of the underlying royalty on AurMac for US$52.2 million. The royalty carries a 6% gross rate that can be bought down to a 1% NSR for $10 million. Stripping out that likely buydown scenario implies Franco-Nevada paid approximately $42 million for a 1% royalty on a project whose current market capitalisation reflects a fraction of that implied valuation. Royalty companies of Franco-Nevada's standing do not deploy capital at that scale into junior projects without conviction in long-term production economics. That conviction is not visible in Banyan's current share price.The primary reason for the valuation gap is well documented and, critically, now resolved. Victoria Gold entered receivership in 2024 holding a 25% interest in the AurMac property and an 8.6% equity position in Banyan. The resulting title uncertainty and forced selling suppressed Banyan's share price through an extended period in which gold rose substantially and peer companies rerated. By late September 2025, Banyan had received a court order confirming 100% property title. The equity overhang was subsequently cleared entirely. Despite this resolution, the share price has not yet converged with peers. Snowline Gold, for comparison, was trading near $260 per resource ounce before recent geopolitical pressure hit the sector broadly.Two additional factors have compounded the discount. A jurisdiction-wide perception of Yukon permitting risk weighed on explorers across the region, though Christie argues the new Yukon government's stated focus on permitting reform and infrastructure investment has shifted that picture materially. A longstanding grade perception issue, the market's tendency to frame AurMac as a low-grade bulk tonnage deposit, is expected to be addressed directly by the maiden PEA, which will quantify the economic contribution of the deposit's high-grade core for the first time.The 2026 programme is designed to deliver a sequence of de-risking events. Five drills are currently active with results expected from May. A Q2 resource update will incorporate nearly 43,000 metres of 2025 drilling. A maiden PEA targeting the second half of the year will establish the first published economic benchmark for AurMac. Regional drilling across ten targets, plus follow-up on a bonanza-grade silver discovery, adds exploration optionality that management believes carries early cash flow potential through direct shipping or toll milling.For investors, the setup is unusually specific: a defined sequence of news flow, a freshly resolved technical overhang, an external royalty transaction that implies a higher valuation than the market currently assigns, and a gold price environment that makes large, infrastructure-advantaged deposits strategically attractive to major producers. The key risk, as with all pre-production developers, is that the PEA economics substantiate what management has been communicating. That question will be answered within this calendar year.View Banyan Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/banyan-gold-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this update, I am joined by Tara Christie, President and CEO of Banyan Gold (TSX.V: BYN | OTCQB: BYAGF), to discuss a series of major milestones at the AurMac Gold Project in the Yukon. The conversation centers on Franco-Nevada's recent $52.2 million purchase of a pre-existing royalty on the project, as well as the progress of Banyan's fully funded 40,000-meter drill program. Key Discussion Points: Franco-Nevada Royalty Acquisition: Tara explains the implications of Franco-Nevada acquiring a 6% NSR (which Banyan can reduce to 1%) for $52.2 million, viewing it as a massive institutional validation of AurMac's long-term mine potential. The 2026 Drill Program: An overview of the 40,000+ meter campaign currently underway, focused on both resource infill and aggressive step-out drilling, as well as new target drilling across the project. High-Grade Consistency: Analysis of recent drill results from the Airstrip deposit, confirming predictable, high-grade mineralization exceeding 1 g/t gold in the project's early-year mining zones. Regional Exploration Upside: Insight into ten new regional targets across Banyan's 720 square kilometer land package. Upcoming Catalysts: A look ahead at the news flow for the remainder of 2026, including pending assay results, a Mineral Resource Estimate update in Q2, and the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) slated for the second half of the year.   If you have any follow up questions for Tara please email me at Fleck@kereport.com.  Click here to visit the Banyan Gold website - https://banyangold.com/   ----------------- For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:  The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/  Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/ Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security or investment product.

Small Cap Breaking News You Can't Miss!Here's a quick rundown of the latest updates from standout small-cap companies making big moves today.Nextech3D.ai (CSE: NTAR) kicked off 2026 with strong momentum, announcing 50 new customer contracts worth approximately $230,000 for its AI-powered event technology platforms Eventdex, Map D, and Krafty Labs. These are all first-time customers and reflect a 73% increase in average deal size year over year, rising from $2,641 in early 2025 to $4,578 in 2026. Management says this growth highlights accelerating adoption of its unified AI event platform across enterprise, education, and government markets, as it continues integrating its technology stack into a scalable event operating system.Banyan Gold (TSXV: BYN) reported additional high-grade drill results from the Airstrip deposit at its AurMac Project in Yukon. Highlights include 6.80 grams per tonne gold over 9.3 metres and 2.99 grams per tonne over 5.7 metres, along with broad intervals such as 0.50 grams per tonne over 102.7 metres. Management says step-out drilling near the conceptual pit shell could support converting previously modeled waste into ore in an upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate update. With over 7.7 million ounces already defined in indicated and inferred resources, Banyan continues to strengthen and refine its large-scale gold system.Spanish Mountain Gold (TSX-V: SPA) delivered standout results from its 2025 Fall Drill Program at its Spanish Mountain Gold Project in British Columbia. One hole intersected 282.50 metres grading 0.70 grams per tonne gold, including 116.80 metres at 1.20 grams per tonne and a high-grade subset of 12.20 metres at 2.46 grams per tonne. Mineralization has now been traced across 530 metres of strike length in the Orca Fault area. The company is advancing toward a potential construction decision in 2027 and continues tightening drill spacing to enhance its open-pit resource model.Nevada Sunrise (TSXV: NEV) confirmed a historical gold intercept at its Griffon Gold Mine Project in Nevada through a 2025 resampling program. The company returned 1.013 grams per tonne gold over 50.2 metres, closely matching 2020 results, and identified key pathfinder elements commonly associated with Carlin-type gold deposits. Management says this new geochemical data will help guide future drill targeting as the company advances permitting for a planned 2026 drill program in the prolific Battle Mountain–Eureka Gold Belt.Power Metallic (TSXV: PNPN) reported what it describes as its best copper intersection to date at the Lion Zone within its Nisk Project in Quebec. Hole PML-26-049 intersected 16.55 metres grading 15.11% copper equivalent recovered, including 10.08% copper, along with gold, silver, palladium, platinum, and nickel. The company is conducting infill and step-out drilling to support a planned 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate and has highlighted strong metallurgical recoveries underpinning its copper-equivalent calculations. Management continues to target a near-term Preliminary Economic Assessment as drilling advances.For more breaking small-cap news, in-depth coverage, and exclusive CEO interviews, follow AGORACOM and subscribe to the AGORACOM podcast to stay ahead of the market.

Interview with Tara Christie, President & CEO of Banyan Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/banyan-gold-tsxvbyn-76moz-gold-project-advances-toward-2026-pea-8866Recording date: 1st March 2026Banyan Gold Corp. (TSXV:BYN) enters 2026 as one of the more substantive junior gold development stories in Canada's Yukon Territory. With a 7.7-million-ounce gold resource at its AurMac project, a fully funded 40,000-metre drill program underway, and a maiden Preliminary Economic Assessment scheduled for the second half of the year, the company has a clear and near-term catalyst pipeline.The 2025 drill program of approximately 43,000 metres targeted two high-grade zones—Airstrip and Powerline—which are expected to anchor the starter pit economics in the upcoming PEA. Intercepts of 16 metres at 9 g/t and 40 metres at 4 g/t at Airstrip, and multiple 2–3 metre intervals at 16 g/t at Powerline, represent above-average grades relative to the broader deposit. Assay results from the full 2025 campaign remain pending, with a resource update to follow. Step-out drilling has extended the deposit's surface expression by approximately one kilometre in both directions along Airstrip, reinforcing management's view that AurMac is a substantially larger system than legacy models indicated.A separate high-grade silver discovery—18 drill hits across six shallow veins, with grades exceeding 13,000 g/t at depths as shallow as 65 metres—adds a layer of optionality not yet captured in any economic study. The most significant external data point for valuing AurMac is Franco-Nevada's February 2026 acquisition of the project royalty for $52.2 million. The royalty carries a buydown provision reducing it to 1% for $10 million—meaning Franco-Nevada effectively paid approximately $42 million for a 1% net smelter royalty. At Banyan's current market capitalisation, this implies the equity market is ascribing a fraction of the value to the full project that a leading royalty company paid for just one percent of it. That gap is the central valuation argument for the stock.Despite a share price increase of approximately 350% in 2025, Banyan trades at under US$50 per ounce of resource. Yukon development peers trade at US$60 to US$300 per ounce. Christie noted that comparable companies were achieving the US$50/oz valuation at US$1,800 gold—implying the current per-ounce value has not kept pace with the commodity. Three investor misconceptions resolved in October 2025—heap leach versus mill, legacy shareholding overhang, and partial property ownership—had suppressed the stock relative to peers and have now been corrected.Execution risk is reduced by full funding secured in October 2025, an early season start with five drills operating by mid-March, and contracts with senior field personnel signed ahead of competitors. The company is not seeking additional capital and is focused on delivering value from existing resources.The PEA in H2 2026 is the defining event. It will establish the first public economic framework for AurMac and provide the foundation for any subsequent corporate transaction, partnership, or development financing discussion. For investors positioned ahead of that catalyst, the combination of resource scale, jurisdictional quality, external royalty validation, and a measurable per-ounce discount to peers represents a specific and trackable investment case.View Banyan Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/banyan-gold-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

At PDAC 2026, Banyan Gold CEO Tara Christie outlines a breakout 2025 marked by a 2.2 million ounce indicated resource conversion, a $31 million financing, and removal of key overhangs tied to Victoria Gold.

While virtual learning has become more prevalent since 2020, the founders of Banyan Global Learning have been offering digital learning experiences for over 20 years.Some people are excited about the possibilities technology offers. Others are backpedaling or worrying that tech does more harm than good. Like most things, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. The outcomes depend on how experiences (both virtual and in-person) are designed and how learners are asked to engage. Passive consumption rarely leads to meaningful learning, but well-structured virtual experiences can support problem solving, perspective-taking, and authentic connection across contexts. Not as a replacement to in-person experiences, but as an additional option to provide opportunities that wouldn't otherwise be possible. That's why I invited Seth Fleischauer to De Facto Leaders to talk about how to use virtual field trips to connect with peers and learn about cultures and experiences worldwide.Seth Fleischauer is the President of Banyan Global Learning, which he founded in 2008 after teaching elementary school with NYC Teaching Fellows. Banyan pioneered daily international EFL distance learning and has since expanded to train teachers and educate K-12 students across three continents. His programs focus on teaching digital and cultural competencies through a global lens and have delivered over 40,000 live teaching sessions. Seth has also hosted over 100 podcast episodes, including Make It Mindful and Why Distance Learning?In this episode, I mentioned Language Therapy Advance Foundations, my program that gives speech pathologists a framework for building language skills needed to thrive in school, social situations, and daily life.

In this KE Report company update, we're joined by Tara Christie, President & CEO of Banyan Gold, alongside Duncan MacKay, Vice President of Exploration, to break down the company's growing silver discovery at the AurMac Gold Project in Yukon. Banyan Gold is best known for its large-scale gold asset, with over 7.7 million ounces of gold (indicated + inferred) already defined at AurMac. Recent drilling has now uncovered high-grade silver mineralization, introducing a potential new value driver layered on top of the existing gold resource.   If you have any follow up questions for Tara please email me at Fleck@kereport.com.  Click here to visit the Banyan Gold website - https://banyangold.com/ ---------------- For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks: https://kereport.substack.com/ https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/   Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Interview with Tara Christie, President & CEO of Banyan Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/banyan-gold-tsxvbyn-high-grade-explorer-attracts-institutional-interest-with-76m-oz-resource-7940Recording date: 30th December 2025Banyan Gold (TSXV:BYN) has emerged as a compelling opportunity in North America's gold development space, hosting 7.6 million ounces across 2.2 million indicated and 5.4 million inferred resources at its road-accessible AurMac project in Canada's Yukon Territory. The company closed 2025 with nearly $40 million in treasury following strategic financings, including backing from Peruvian mining family Alpayana, positioning it to execute an aggressive 40,000-meter drill program in 2026 at efficient costs of $350 per meter.Management implemented a transformative geological model in 2025 that identifies predictable high-grade zones exceeding 1 gram per ton gold. This technical advancement enables focused drilling on areas that will drive early mine economics through starter pits, converting previously classified waste blocks to ore while expanding deposit boundaries. The company shifted its development strategy from heap leaching to conventional milling with gravity-CIL processing, delivering 93% recovery rates and reducing technical risk for future partners.A preliminary economic assessment scheduled for second half 2026 represents a critical milestone, utilizing gold price assumptions around $3,000 per ounce versus the $2,050 used in current resource estimates. This higher pricing could substantially expand pit shells and highlight project economics at a time when major producers desperately need large-scale assets in secure jurisdictions.An unexpected silver discovery adds further upside, with intercepts reaching 14 kilograms per ton within broader high-grade zones. With silver trading at multi-year highs, this mineralization could materially enhance project value.Trading at approximately 0.16 times net asset value compared to peer averages of 0.4, Banyan presents significant valuation upside. The combination of existing infrastructure including hydroelectric power, a mining-friendly Yukon government, district-scale potential, and completed metallurgical derisking positions the company as an attractive M&A candidate for majors seeking reserve replacement in Tier 1 jurisdictions.View Banyan Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/banyan-gold-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this special episode of Why Distance Learning, the tables turn—Seth Fleischauer steps into the guest seat as co-hosts Tami Moehring and Allyson Mitchell interview him about the purpose, design, and future of Global Learning Live, Banyan Global Learning's next-generation experiential global learning program. They explore what authentic global learning really requires in today's classrooms—and why the medium of live virtual learning matters more than ever.Most schools want to build cultural competence, empathy, and real-world communication skills, but:Finding reliable global partners is inconsistent and often falls apart mid-year.Language learners rarely get opportunities to use English in meaningful, real-world contexts.Teachers lack simple, low-prep ways to bring global learning into existing schedules.Field trips and international travel are expensive and inaccessible for most students.The result? Global learning remains an aspiration, not a system.However, Banyan's Global Learning Live is structured, scalable model that connects students worldwide through live field trips, global collaborations, and authentic showcase moments. Seth shares how 20 years of partnership with Tsai Hsing School led to the creation of an experiential cycle that prepares students not only for academic success, but for a rapidly changing, interconnected world.What the program delivers:Live Virtual Field Trips Bringing students into real places—Portland bridges, Renaissance fairs, and more—with authentic “whoa” moments that make learning unforgettable.Global Student Collaborations Cohorts, not brittle partnerships—designed to reduce dropout risk, increase diversity, and ensure ELL accessibility.Authentic Purpose for Language Learning English isn't a worksheet—it becomes the tool students use to communicate across borders and share their original ideas.A Low-Overhead, High-Impact Design Schools can join four-week pilots with one live class per week + a showcase and asynchronous global exchange.ELL-Ready, Teacher-Friendly Materials Built to make participation meaningful for all levels, not just native speakers.Impact to date:More than 42,000 student years of distance learning delivered.Students report increased confidence expressing original ideas in English.Meaningful growth in perspective-taking, curiosity, and cultural competence.Practical steps educators can take—whether or not they join the pilot.1. Bring the world into your classroom through personal live video. Use your own life, community, or experiences as cultural text. Even small shifts build perspective-taking.2. Integrate short, purposeful global exchanges. Asynchronous collaboration—sharing artifacts, reflections, or questions—can be powerful without live schedules aligning.3. Join the Global Learning Live Spring Pilot. Schools receive a free 4-week experience including:One weekly live sessionA live virtual field tripA collaborative artifact exchangeAccess to a global cohort of classrooms across continents4. Start planning for sustained global engagement. Seth describes the future vision: a global network with diverse cohorts, built-in supports for ELL learners, and eventually a FERPA-compliant platform designed for authentic collaboration at scale.Episode LinksGlobal Learning Live – Spring Pilot Sign-UpCILC.org – Schedule Virtual Field Trips, Including Banyan's Bridges of Portland Trip

We finally removed the massive banyan tree, opening the backyard to sunlight and sending the iguanas packing. The episode covers backyard cleanup, pool chemistry wins, and plans for a winter garden with tomatoes and herbs. Also: the dog's mysterious sneezing and vet trip, a near-miss with iguanas on a walk, a fishing trip at the beach as 'season' begins, and a funny struggle to get the podcast recording setup working again.

Tara Christie of Banyan Gold provided a corporate update from the DGM last week. The company has continued to show positive exploration work, which includes more high-grade hits at the Airstrip Deposit along with confirmation of a new silver discovery.
