Podcasts about Drilling

Today, we are replaying one of my favorite conversations with Sam Hinkie. Sam worked for more than a decade in the NBA with the Houston Rockets and then as the President and GM of the Philadelphia 76ers. And now, after years of personal investing, he has launched his own venture capital firm, 87 Capital. Every conversation I have with Sam is alive with insight, and this one is no different. We explore the idea of studying the "breadcrumbs" that someone leaves behind as a way to track their progress and trajectory, finding and attracting the right people into one's orbit, and the lessons from the NBA that most shape his investing career. Sam has taught me the most about the topic of building trust, which we cover here as well. I am excited to share my conversation with Sam with all of you. Please enjoy!

Drilling for oil has been going on in the US for over 150 years. Across the country we have bored millions of holes in the ground to pump the liquid gold that has fueled the country's energy appetite. But those wells don't last forever. When the oil begins to dry up, wells are supposed to be plugged to prevent toxic, climate-altering chemicals from escaping. So why then is there, by some estimates, more than 2 million unplugged abandoned wells around the country? Today on The Sunday Story, NPR correspondent Camila Domonoske joins to talk about the lingering effects of these old wells and why it's so hard to find a long-term fix.

Interview with Anthony Margarit, President & CEO of K2 GoldOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/k2-gold-kto-ma-in-nevada-is-focus-1479Recording date: 28th August 2025K2 Gold Corporation (TSXV: KTO) stands on the verge of a significant milestone as its flagship Mojave project in California approaches final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) permitting approval. The company's 6,000-hectare polymetallic project has delivered exceptional drill results, including a standout intersection of 86.9 meters at 4 grams per ton gold, positioning it as one of the more promising exploration stories in North American mining.Under CEO Anthony Margarit, a geologist with a proven track record including early involvement in Rio Tinto's Diavik diamond mine discovery, K2 has strategically navigated the complex EIS permitting process—the highest level of environmental permitting in the United States. The company recently received encouraging news when the Bureau of Land Management identified K2's plan of operations as their preferred alternative in the draft EIS, representing a crucial pre-decision milestone.The upcoming drilling program spans 30,000 meters across 120 holes on 30 pads, designed to test mineralization continuity along a 5-kilometer gold trend. Recent surface sampling has yielded spectacular results, with samples reaching 374 grams per ton gold on the same structural system. The project's polymetallic nature extends beyond gold to include four copper targets, one spanning nearly 5 kilometers, plus four silver-lead-zinc targets.Financially, K2 has positioned itself strategically with approximately $13 million in outstanding warrants, many expiring October 1st. Management expresses high confidence that warrant exercises will fully fund the drilling program without dilutive equity raises. The project benefits from its location adjacent to the historic Cerro Gordo mine, California's largest 19th-century silver producer, validating the district's mineral potential.With EIS approval expected imminently, K2 Gold represents a compelling exploration opportunity combining exceptional grades, strategic permitting progress, and built-in financing within a proven mining district.View K2 Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/k2-gold-corporationSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

When congressional Republicans took a sledgehammer to the Inflation Reduction Act last summer, advanced geothermal startups were largely spared. Drilling for renewable energy appears to be one of the few things that engenders bipartisan support. Now, with the uncertainty settled, geothermal companies are announcing deals that promise to pave the way for broader deployment of their technology. Also, Fizz, the college social app, is expanding into grocery delivery thanks to a new partnership with Gopuff, the startup told TechCrunch exclusively. The partnership will allow students to order anything from late-night snacks to weekly groceries directly within the Fizz app in as fast as 15 minutes. Learn more about your ad choices.

Buccaneer Energy CEO Paul Welch joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has successfully completed a capital raise backed by institutional investors, providing the funding required to advance its drilling plans in the Fouke area of East Texas. The financing ensures Buccaneer is positioned to participate in its share of two new development wells, with drilling scheduled for September and December 2025. The company holds a 32.5% working interest in the program. Welch explained that the Fouke area, situated in the southwestern section of the Pine Mills field, was first discovered in 2021 under original reservoir conditions. Initial wells drilled in the area demonstrated strong performance, producing water-free oil at the field allowable rate of 124 barrels per day. Based on reservoir data and early production history, Buccaneer anticipates that the upcoming two development wells will deliver similar production rates, contributing meaningfully to near-term cash flow. In addition to the development drilling, Buccaneer is evaluating strategies to monetize associated gas production, an increasingly important factor in maximizing asset value. One option under review is the utilization of produced gas to power Bitcoin mining operations, a trend that has become more common in the onshore Texas basins since 2022. Welch emphasized that while initial discussions have been held with potential Bitcoin mining partners, the strategy remains at an exploratory stage. A successful gas monetization program would require several conditions to be met, including positive drilling outcomes from the two new wells, identification of suitable operational sites, and execution of an agreement with a Bitcoin mining operator on favorable terms. Buccaneer underscored that while the opportunity is promising, there is no guarantee of a partnership or commercial return at this stage. Welch concluded by noting that the latest capital raise not only underpins Buccaneer's immediate development objectives in the Fouke area but also provides flexibility to pursue innovative monetization strategies aimed at enhancing long-term shareholder value. #proactiveinvestros #buccaneerenergy #aim #buce #oil #gas #foukeproject #OilAndGas #TexasOil #EnergyInvestment #PineMillsField #FoukeField #BitcoinMining #OilDrilling #EnergyStocks #OilExploration #AssociatedGas #CashFlow #VerticalDrilling #JuniorOilandGas

Reconnaissance Energy Africa or ReconAfrica CEO Brian Reinsborough joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company's Kavango West 1X exploration well, which officially spudded in July 2025. Drilling has now advanced into the 8.5-inch hole section at a depth of approximately 1,910 metres. Reinsborough explained that the next step in the drilling program will be the installation of the final casing string at roughly 2,400 metres, after which the drill bit will enter the Otavi reservoir zone—the primary exploration target of the Damara Fold Belt Play. The company anticipates intersecting this critical zone in October 2025. The drilling program is designed to penetrate approximately 1,500 metres of the Otavi reservoir section, with the well expected to reach total depth (TD) between 3,800 and 4,250 metres by the end of November 2025. According to Reinsborough, this will allow for a thorough evaluation of the reservoir interval and the potential for a major petroleum system in the region. ReconAfrica has confirmed it will provide periodic drilling updates through news releases as the program progresses. Final well results are expected to be released around year-end, marking a significant milestone in the company's ongoing exploration efforts in Namibia. #proactiveinvestors #reconnaissanceenergyafricaltd #tsxv #reco #otcqx #recaf #NamibiaOil #ProspectI #OilExploration #EnergyUpdate #OnshoreDrilling #OilAndGasNews #AfricanEnergy #OilDiscovery #EnergyInvesting #OilExploration #NamibiaOil #EnergyInvesting #KavangoBasin #BrianReinsborough #OilAndGas #InvestorUpdate #ProactiveInvestors #AngolaEnergy

Roger Rosmus, Founder, CEO, & Director of Goliath Resources (TSX.V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF), joins me to review multiple drill assays, both new and relogged, within the high-grade gold Bonanza Zone and Surebet Discovery on the Golddigger Property located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. This leads to a larger discussion about prior press releases related to the overall 75 hole relogging program in tandem with some of the early assay results from the ongoing 60,000 meters of new drilling, which will be the largest exploration program to date.   Drill hole GD-25-337 intersected 10.60 g/t Au over 22.82 meters (a 242 grams*meters hole), including 15.19 g/t Au over 15.71 meters, including two separate intervals consisting of 37.28 g/t Au or 1.20 oz/t Au over 3.36 meters and 36.11 or 1.16 oz/t Au over 3.08 meters. From the andesite unit below the Bonanza Zone which contains multiple occurrences of widespread VG-NE between 113.00 meters and 135.82 meters, hosted within a zone of dense calc-silicate veins with moderate amounts of sphalerite, pyrrhotite and pyrite. The intercept is approximately true width, and these assays reflect gold only (AuEq value in the interval will be adjusted accordingly once Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn are received).   65 drill holes have been completed for a total of 45,000 meters in 2025, with only 50 holes remaining totaling 15,000 meters. With roughly 1 month remaining, Goliath is on target to complete its planned up to 60,000 meter drill program with 9 rigs actively turning. Assays are pending for 55 drill holes completed to date   100% of the drill holes completed to date on Surebet have intersected substantial quartz-sulphide mineralization and 95% of drill holes completed thus far in 2025 contain gold visible to the naked eye (“VG-NE”). This clearly demonstrates the continuity and predictability of this expansive gold-rich system.   Drilling at the Surebet Discovery has hit VG-NE in three distinct rock packages (quartz-sulphide breccias/stock work, RIRG Eocene-aged dykes and calc-silicate altered breccia) showing the untapped discovery potential at this remarkable high-grade gold system that remains open.   The Company also still awaits more assays from this year's early exploration focus on relogging prior year holes is in light of the newly discovered widespread abundant visible gold seen with the naked eye in multiple reduced intrusion related gold (RIRG) dykes, as well as in the calc-silicate altered breccia, reflecting the testing of gold in those 3 distinct rock pages on the property.    There will be a flood of assays coming in from both the relogging initiative, as well as the new holes being drilled this season for many months into the future, so click on the link down below to follow along with all the news from the Company as it hits the newswires.     If you have any questions for Roger about Goliath Resources, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com and then we'll get those answered or covered in a future interviews.   Click here to follow the latest news from Goliath Resources

Valkea Resources (TSX-V: OZ | OTCQB: OZBKF | FSE: S600) has launched its fall drill program at the Paana Project in Finland. President & CEO Chris Donaldson joins the KE Report to outline the strategy, starting with step-outs at the Koivu Zone, new target generation, and the company's broader exploration plans in this Tier-1 district. Key points:  Fall Drill Program (~2,000m): Step-outs at the Koivu Zone following encouraging intercepts from the last campaign (e.g., ~55m @ ~1.6 g/t Au; ~36m @ ~1.5 g/t Au), plus ongoing target generation. Geologic Model & Strategy: Koivu Zone shows disseminated “Ikkari/Rupert-style” gold; Honka Zone is “Kittilä-style” high-grade. Team will test if Koivu and Honka zones connect. Target Pipeline: Base-of-till drilling across multiple anomalies and work advancing the northern Rova project. Core Re-logging & Structural Work: Refining structure and controls on mineralization using historic holes to tighten targeting. Team & Operations: New Exploration Manager, Jens Rönnqvist, on the ground in Finland to coordinate fieldwork and community engagement. Jurisdiction & Neighbors: Paana sits in a Tier-1 district alongside Agnico Eagle's Kittilä Mine, B2Gold/Aurion, and Rupert Resources. Finland ranked #1 by the Fraser Institute for mining attractiveness; recent financings underscore capital flowing into the belt. Near-Term Catalysts: Drills now turning; a ~2-month program with assays expected to begin in the fall (lab timing dependent). Step-outs at Koivu are the headline driver. Any follow up questions for Chris can be emailed to me directly at Fleck@kereport.com.  Click here to visit the Valkea Resources website to learn more about the Company.

G50 Corp Holdings Managing Director Mark Wallace joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the Company has received firm commitments for a strongly oversubscribed placement to raise gross proceeds of A$10 million. The capital was secured primarily from leading Australian institutions, demonstrating strong demand and confidence in G50's exploration strategy. The placement, priced at A$0.25 per share, represents a 10.4% discount to the 5-day VWAP. Bell Potter Securities Limited and Morgans Corporate Limited, both prominent Australian firms, acted as Joint Lead Managers and Bookrunners to the transaction. Wallace highlighted that the raise drew robust interest from both existing shareholders and new institutional investors, underscoring growing recognition of the strategic value of G50's Golconda Gold-Silver-Zinc Project in Arizona. Earlier in 2025, drilling at Golconda uncovered a district-scale gold and silver discovery, while the Reverse Circulation (RC) program confirmed consistent gallium mineralization across one kilometer of the Golconda patented claims. This discovery is particularly significant given gallium's critical role in defense technologies and data center infrastructure, combined with the fact that China currently controls 100% of global gallium supply and has restricted its export to the U.S. The newly raised funds will be directed toward extensive drilling and metallurgical testwork at Golconda. A track-mounted core drill rig is scheduled to arrive in September, followed by an RC rig once the core drilling phase is complete. Metallurgical testwork focused on gallium will begin this quarter, supporting ongoing discussions with potential partners and funding groups. In parallel, precious and base metal metallurgical testwork will be conducted using samples from the core drilling program, contributing to the preparation of a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). Wallace emphasized that this financing provides G50 with the momentum needed to accelerate exploration and development at Golconda, advancing both its critical minerals strategy and its precious metal resource potential at a time of heightened demand for secure, U.S.-based supply chains. #proactiveinvestors #g50corplimited #asx #g50 #otcqb #gfytf #Gallium #GoldExploration #SilverMining #CriticalMinerals #ArizonaMining #NevadaMining #GolcondaProject #WhiteCapsProject #MetalsSupplyChain #GalliumNitride #MiningInvestment #JuniorMiners #USSupplyChain #ProactiveInvestors

First Phosphate Corp. CEO John Passalacqua joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the Company has successfully closed its latest financing round, raising $2.95 million from an existing investor along with several follow-on investors. This financing marks the ninth management-led non-brokered private placement since June 2022, bringing total capital raised to approximately $31.4 million, with an impressive $11.2 million secured in just the past three months. Passalacqua emphasized that the fresh capital leaves First Phosphate in a solid financial position, with about $4 million in cash currently on hand. Since inception, the Company has now secured roughly $17 million in net funding, providing the resources necessary to advance its growth strategy. The funds will primarily support drilling and exploration activities at the Company's Begin-Lamarche property, where First Phosphate is working to expand and define its resource base. Passalacqua also pointed to ongoing progress at the Lac à l'Orignal project, where assay results from the current drill program are expected within the next month. These results will feed into an updated resource estimate, a key milestone for the Company. Passalacqua reiterated the Company's overarching objective: to build a vertically integrated operation capable of supplying phosphate material for the LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery industry in North America. He highlighted that the surface phosphate mineralization at Begin-Lamarche strengthens the Company's ability to establish a stable and sustainable supply chain for the growing EV and energy storage markets. With a clear strategy, a robust balance sheet, and strong investor support, First Phosphate continues to advance its mission of becoming a key player in securing North America's clean energy future. #proactiveinvestors #firstphosphatecorp #cse #phos #otcqx #frspf #frspf #phosphate #CriticalMinerals #BatteryMaterials #LFPCathode #FirstPhosphate #CanadaMining #GreenEnergy #SupplyChain #QuebecMining #EVBatteries #dod

Leif Nilsson, CEO & Director of Surge Copper (TSX.V:SURG – OTCQX:SRGXF), joins me for a comprehensive update covering ongoing field activities, 3 types of drilling, and various derisking work initiatives and development work streams all building towards their updated Resource Estimate and Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), at their flagship copper-molybdenum-silver-gold Berg Project in British Columbia.   We start off reviewing the resource size and different metals contributions as well as the key economic metrics from the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) that was released in June 2023. The updated Mineral Resource Estimate includes combined Measured & Indicated resource of 1.0 billion tonnes grading 0.23% copper, 0.03% molybdenum, 4.6 g/t silver, and 0.02 g/t gold, containing 5.1 billion pounds of copper, 633 million pounds of molybdenum, 150 million ounces of silver, and 744 thousand ounces of gold, plus an additional 0.5 billion tonnes of material in the Inferred category.  Leif reviewed some of the results from their substantial metallurgical testing program, where a bulk concentrate has been successfully separated into a copper concentrate containing the precious metals and a high-value molybdenum concentrate.   Next we shifted over to the 3 different types of drilling that have been ongoing or are still underway at the Berg Project. Leif highlights that there has a been a fair bit of infill drilling completed over the last 2 years, including the recent 1,500 meter 5-hole program from this summer's program, where more ounces will be moving from the inferred category into the measured and indicated category when it gets updated along with the coming PFS. In addition to this infill and definition drilling, there has been a fair bit of geo-technical drilling to characterize ground conditions at proposed infrastructure areas of the project footprint, including the first-ever uphill-angle drilling at Berg. Lastly there in ongoing ARD drilling using an underground drill, testing the outer margins of Berg mineralization to evaluate acid rock drainage potential within the conceptual pit's waste rock zone.   Additional workstreams remain active across the site, including geophysical surveys, environmental baseline studies, and logistical field preparations such as pad construction and line cutting. The Berg camp is currently a hub of coordinated technical activity, with drill contractors, field geologists, environmental and geotechnical engineers, helicopter crew, line cutters, pad builders, geophysical crews, and camp support staff all contributing to the program. Collectively, these efforts are generating the critical datasets required to support robust design parameters and reduce risk ahead of the upcoming pre-feasibility study.   Wrapping up we discussed a number of factors from what the permitting process will look like for EA readiness, the value in the strategic partner they have in African Rainbow Minerals Limited (“ARM”) assisting the Project both financially and technically, and an overall sense of how the size and scale of the Berg stacks up to other large copper development assets in Canada.     If you have any follow-up questions for Leif regarding Surge Copper, then please email them to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Surge Copper at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from Surge Copper

Taj Singh, CEO of First Nordic Metals (TSX.V: FNM) (OTCQB: FNMCF) (FNSE: FNMC SDB) (FRA: HEG0), joins us to review the first set of 14 drill assays returned from the Aida Target at the Paubäcken Project, and what they've learned as they have substantially expanded the strike length of the mineralized trend.  We also discuss the summer drilling finishing up soon at the Nippas Target at the Storjuktan Project, and then the drilling set to commence soon at the Harpsund Target at Paubäcken. All of these targets and projects are located on their 100% owned property along the Gold Line Belt of Sweden.   Key Highlights:   Multiple strong gold intercepts returned, including: 1.94 g/t Au over 21.5 m (2025-AID-038), 5.45 g/t Au over 4.6 m (2025-AID-030), and 1.17 g/t Au over 17.5 m (2025-AID-027) Gold-mineralized strike of Aida corridor extended from 0.5 km to over 2.1 km, remaining open in all directions Several new gold bearing structures identified, including the blind to surface Pharao Zone and the Northern Mafic Zone Gold bearing structures intercepted in 12 of 14 drill holes to date with visible gold identified in 5 drill holes Follow up drill program being planned for 4Q25   Beyond these first 14 drill holes released, there are an additional 25 holed drilled that are still at the lab pending future release from around this high-priority Aida Target.   We also touch upon the drill rig being moved over next to the Harpsund target, which has shown promising Base-of-Till (BOT) drilling, surface till sampling, and geophysics.  The exploration team is gearing up for the maiden drill program Harpsund next in this summer's program, along with further ongoing targeting work at the adjacent Brokojan target.   Pivoting over to their Storjuktan Project, the 5,000 meter drill program is just finishing up at   Nippas, which is still the most derisked target at Storjuktan.  There are 5 other high priority targets (3 large targets in the south and 2 key targets in the north), across the Storjuktan Project, so this will be an ongoing area of focus for future targeting and drilling.     If you have any questions for Taj or Adam, regarding First Nordic Metals, then please email them in to us at Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of First Nordic Metals at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from First Nordic Metals

California has long gone head-to-head with big oil, leading many of the efforts to curb climate damage caused at the hands of the fossil fuel industry – including spearheading lawsuits against oil companies and pushing fracking bans.  But faced with the closure of two state refineries, and rising gas prices, Governor Gavin Newsom has made some major concessions on oil to not only keep the refineries open, but to draft a bill for more drilling in Kern county. We'll talk about California's changing relationship with the oil industry, the state's efforts to phase out fossil fuels, and what's going to happen to gas prices in the meantime. Guests: Severin Borenstein, professor at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business; faculty director of The Energy Institute at Haas; member, Board of Governors of the California Independent System Operator Lori Wilson, California State Assemblywoman, District 11 Alex Nieves, California transportation reporter, POLITICO Learn more about your ad choices.

Graham Richardson, CFO of Faraday Copper (TSX:FDY – OTCQX:CPPKF), joins me to provide a comprehensive exploration update recapping the key milestones and discoveries from the 30,000 meter Phase 3 drill program, that is building into an updated Resource Estimate and more advanced update to the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) due out in September.  Then we dive into the strategy and objectives for the upcoming 40,000 meter Phase 4 drill program, with a continued focus on defining, expanding, and testing new target all around the American Eagle Area at their 100% owned Copper Creek Project in Arizona.    The Copper Creek Project already has a 4.2 billion pound copper resource, and will be expanding as the drill results from the prior Phase 3 program are incorporated into the updated Resource Estimate, where it is anticipated to have a healthy portion in the indicated category.  With regard to the updated PEA, Graham highlights how much geotechnical and metallurgical work will be incorporated, making it a much more advanced PEA, and this is why the work programs after it is released will springboard over the PFS and go right into the Feasibility Study for 2026.   Graham and I discuss a number of the new discoveries made in Phase 3 at the new Banjo Breccia discovery, and recently discovered Winchester breccia, in addition to putting some holes into earlier-stage exploration targets at Old Reliable, the Sunrise Trend (which may indicate the presence of a new porphyry system),  and at Horsecamp. There were some holes in Phase 3 that targeted near-surface supergene copper mineralization with the goal of better understanding the distribution of oxide mineralization. Five holes were drilled near the Globe breccia and two near the Copper Giant breccia.  There will be more follow-up on this near-surface oxide mineralization as part of Phase 4.   In addition to expanding mineralization, testing new breccia targets, and infilling the American Eagle area in the upcoming Phase 4 drilling, there still will be some further definition holes drilled down into the deeper porphyry targets at the American Eagle and Keel deposits to better understand the geological controls and mineralization.   The company is well cashed up to complete all these work programs after announcing the closing of the CAD $49Million financing on July 29, 2025.  Graham also unpacks the strong roster of shareholders including the Lundin Family and Murray Edwards, as well as a number of institutional investment firms.  We wrap up discussing the infrastructure advantages and positives of operating in Arizona as a jurisdiction.     If you have any questions for Graham regarding Faraday Copper, then please email them to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Faraday Copper at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to view the latest news from Faraday Copper

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Thursday's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they discuss California Democrats having to accept the truth on energy, Sen. Elizabeth Warren enthusiastically endorsing the socialist agenda of Zohran Mamdani, and Jim Acosta "interviewing" the bot of a student killed in a school shooting.First, they dig into California Gov. Gavin Newsom's retreat from his aggressive green agenda. After years of vilifying oil companies and pushing to end fossil fuel use, Newsom is now trying to keep refineries open and even expand drilling. Scot and Greg explain the truth about the scope of our energy needs and the only realistic ways they will be met anytime soon.Next, they react to Sen. Elizabeth Warren backing far-left New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. She not only praises his socialist platform on housing, child care, and food prices but also claims his message is what Democrats should embrace nationwide. Scot and Greg unpack what “affordable” really means under progressive policies and how big government failures continue to pile up in America's largest cities.Finally, they recoil at former CNN anchor Jim Acosta's podcast “interview” with an AI version of Joaquin Oliver, a student killed in the 2018 Parkland school shooting. Acosta used the bot to advocate for greater gun control. Scot and Greg discuss the many ethical problems with this disturbing spectacle.Please visit our great sponsors:Talk it out, with Betterhelp.

Trey Wasser, CEO and Director of Dryden Gold Corp (TSX.V: DRY) (OTCQB: DRYGF) (FSE: X7W), joins me for an exploration update outlining some of the key takeaways and proper context from the recently released assay results from this year's exploration program at multiple Gold Rock Camp targets, within their Dryden Gold District in Northwestern Ontario.    On July 24, 2025 the Company reported multiple high-grade gold results and additional visible gold ("VG") intercepts from its ongoing drill program on the Elora Gold System at the Gold Rock Camp. These results are part of the Company's fully funded 15,000-meter drill campaign, which is focused on expanding the Elora Gold System along strike and at depth. The drill campaign to date has focused on the Gold Rock Target Area including the Jubilee Zone, Jubilee Hanging Wall, Pearl Zone and Laurentian Mine Area. The discovery of multiple stacked gold bearing structures now appear to run for a kilometer of strike from Jubilee to Laurentian. Drilling at the Elora gold System is also showing impressive widths of near surface lower grade mineralization.   Trey points out that much of the drilling is actually more constructive than the market realizes for building out continuity of near-surface mineralization that is above 1 g/t gold as a baseline for an open-pit development scenario. Then the more narrow but high-grade intercepts will raise the average overall grade profile of the deposit that is coming into picture along 1km of strike along the Elora Gold System.   Highlights:   Drill Hole DGR-25-011 intercepted 5.36 g/t gold over 5.00 meters including 12.70g/t gold over 1.90 meters at Jubilee HW Drill Hole DGR-25-018 intercepted visible gold at 238 meters true depth in the HW at Jubilee HW Drill Hole DGR-25-012 intercepted 15.30 g/t gold over 1.45 meters near surface at Pearl Drill Hole DGR-25-008 intercepted 1.18 g/t gold over 15.80 meters near surface at Pearl Drill Hole DGR-25-005 intercepted 2.20 g/t gold over 5.90 meters including 9.87 g/t over 0.90 meters defining a second high-grade gold structure at Pearl   We review that there is a current financing underway, and lots of drill core piling up at site, at the assay lab, and results will be able to be released after the financing is set to close on August 12th.   The drills have moved on to Sherridon for first pass drilling is following up on targets from the detailed mapping from 2024, and so that newsflow will be coming in a couple of months.   The drills will then be moved back to Elora Gold System to drill more at Laurentian, Pearl, Jubilee,  and importantly, will also test the areas in between those 3 initial targets.     If you have any questions for Trey regarding Dryden Gold, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Dryden Gold at the time of this recording.   Click here to follow the latest news from Dryden Gold

In this KE Report company update, I'm joined by Mike Pettingell, Senior Vice President of Business Development and Strategy at Vizsla Silver (TSX: VZLA, NYSE: VZLA), to break down the company's expansive exploration strategy and its ambitions beyond the current Copala resource.   Key Focus: True Exploration, Resource Expansion, and the Hunt for “Project 2”   Highlights from the conversation include: 2025 Drill Campaign: Vizsla is in the midst of a 25,000-meter exploration-focused drill program, with 8,000 meters already completed. This is not infill or extensional - this is true exploration aimed at uncovering new centers of mineralization across the broader Panuco district. Project One - Resource Growth Near Copala: Focus on shallow, high-grade targets near the Copala and Napoleon corridors, which could improve early cash flow in the upcoming feasibility study. Drilling from underground platforms is planned to efficiently test high-potential zones. Proximal and Near-Mine Targets: Areas like San Peter, San Jack, and La Luisa sit within haulage distance to the proposed mill and could be fast-tracked into future mine plans if successful. Project 2 - District-Scale Discovery Upside: Follow-up drilling is underway at Animas (6m @ 900 g/t AgEq) and Camelia-San Dimas - targets located in the central and eastern parts of the district. These areas are higher up in the system geologically and could host large, standalone systems. New Greenfield Projects - Santa Fe, San Enrique, La Garra: Recently acquired and historically mined, these properties are now being evaluated for new resource potential. Santa Fe is the priority, with a permitted 350 tpd mill on-site. Vizsla aims to fast-track a 43-101 resource using legacy data and internal expertise. Exploration Budget: Vizsla plans to spend ~$20 million on exploration this year, with flexibility to expand based on drill success.

Interview with Dan Barnholden, CEO of Luca Mining Corp.Our Previous Interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/luca-mining-tsxvluca-growing-significant-value-in-mexico-in-the-new-gold-bull-market-6317Recording date: 25th July 2025Luca Mining has emerged as a compelling turnaround story in the precious metals sector, transforming from financial distress to robust cash generation under CEO Dan Barnholden's leadership. The company operates two mines in Mexico: the Tahuehueto gold-silver mine in northwest Durango and the Campo Marado polymetallic VMS deposit in Guerrero State.The financial transformation has been remarkable. "When I joined we had a million in the bank and we had $18.2 million in debt. Today we sit with almost $25 million cash in the bank and $7.7 million in debt," Barnholden explained, representing a $40 million balance sheet improvement. The company generated $11.7 million in free cash flow during Q1 2025, positioning it to achieve annual forecasts of $30-40 million.Recent exploration success at Campo Marado has validated the company's strategic pivot toward high-grade gold zones. Surface drilling at the La Reforma zone intercepted 15.12 meters of 5.5 grams per ton gold, 150 grams per ton silver, and 8.5% zinc—significantly higher grades than current mining areas. This represents the first surface drilling into La Reforma since 2010, unlocking 15 years of untested potential.Operational improvements have been equally impressive. Campo Marado's mill capacity utilization increased from 60% to near-optimal levels at 2,100 tons per day, while Tahuehueto achieved commercial production in Q1 2025, producing 30,000-35,000 ounces of gold annually.The company's share price has tripled over 12 months, reflecting successful execution and favorable precious metals market conditions. Management is working on mill upgrades to double gold recovery from the current 25-30%, while exploring tailings reprocessing opportunities containing an estimated billion dollars worth of gold.With institutional ownership at just 6%, Luca Mining targets growth to 20% near-term, capitalizing on renewed investor appetite for precious metals exposure during what Barnholden describes as "a bull market for precious metals companies."Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/luca-mining-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to review the value proposition that has his attention in the 3 gold exploration companies, that have compelling drill targets, large strategic shareholders, and the potential for rapid upside moves if they make more compelling discoveries while expanding resources.     >> The companies we discussed in the interview are:   Headwater Gold Inc. (CSE: HWG, OTCQB: HWAUF) announced July 22nd that it has signed a non-binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with a subsidiary of OceanaGold Corporation (TSX: OGC, OTCQX: OCANF). The parties propose to enter into a definitive agreement within 90 days for OceanaGold to acquire an option to earn up to a 75% interest in Headwater's TJ, Jake Creek and Hot Creek projects in Nevada through staged exploration expenditures totalling up to US$65,000,000 and the completion of Pre-Feasibility Studies.   Additionally, Headwater Gold announced on July 24th that drill permitting has advanced through the formal public scoping phase on Headwater's Lodestar project, located in western Nevada. Project scoping marks a significant step toward securing final drilling approval following the submission of a Plan of Operations to undertake a proposed 3,500-metre drill program. The Lodestar project is being explored in partnership with Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM, TSX: NGT, ASX: NEM) through an earn-in agreement announced on May 9, 2023.   Altamira Gold Corp. (TSXV: ALTA) (FSE: T6UP) (OTCID: EQTRF) – On July 17th announced the mobilization of a diamond drill rig to the Cajueiro gold Project, in Brazil. Drilling will initially focus on testing depth and lateral extensions to the recently defined maiden mineral resource at Maria Bonita, followed by the drill testing of several recently identified porphyry targets within the Cajueiro district.   The company is cashed up for this exploration program after having raised $5.28 Million in a non-brokered Private Placement announced on July 2nd.   Cabral Gold Inc. (TSXV: CBR) (OTCQB: CBGZF) announced today the results of an updated Prefeasibility Study ("Updated PFS") on the development of near-surface gold-in-oxide material at the Cuiú Cuiú gold district in Brazil.   (we had recorded this interview yesterday and were unaware that this news would drop literally the next day, but this PFS shows the value proposition Erik outlined in the plan to develop and mine the saprolite for gold and earlier on cash flows from production to feed the exploration).   The Updated PFS, led by Ausenco do Brasil Engenharia Ltda. ("Ausenco"), resulted in significant improvements to the amount of gold produced, mine life, Net Present Value and Internal Rate of Return. These results confirm the Cuiú Cuiú gold-in-oxide starter project provides a high return and a low capital entry point to mine gold, with production possible within 12 months from an investment decision.     * In full disclosure, some companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.   Click here to follow Erik's analysis over at The Hedgeless Horseman website

The company's 2025 winter drilling campaign at its flagship Douay Gold Project delivered exceptional results that validate management's strategy to build a multi-million ounce gold district.The 12,240-meter program achieved a remarkable 100% success rate, with gold mineralization intersected in all 21 holes while coming in under budget at $300 per meter versus $400 budgeted. Standout results included 4.87 g/t gold over 15 meters in the 531 Zone and 2.21 g/t gold over 31 meters in the Nika Zone, representing significant step-outs that extend mineralization 200-600 meters below current resource pit shells.President and CEO Kiran Patankar emphasized the systematic approach: "When you have consistency, when you hit gold in every hole, when you are doing bolder stepouts... having 100% success rate while executing properly, being under budget, having a great cost saving and safety performance, all that stuff is important when you have a major partner."Maple Gold currently controls over 3 million ounces of gold resources at Douay, positioning it among fewer than 20 companies that fully own multi-million ounce projects in Canada. The company is targeting expansion to 5 million ounces through continued exploration, with both high-grade zones remaining open in multiple directions.The development strategy balances scale with economics, envisioning an initial 100,000-150,000 ounce annual operation that leverages current gold prices above $3,300 per ounce. Following restructuring to 100% ownership, Maple Gold maintains strategic partnership benefits with Agnico Eagle while gaining operational control for more efficient capital deployment. With a resource update planned by year-end 2025 and potential preliminary economic assessment by early 2026, the company is well-positioned to advance toward development in Quebec's premier mining jurisdiction.View Maple Gold Mines' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/maple-gold-mines-ltdSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

What do a luxury wristwatch and a 50-foot-long aerospace weldment have in common? They're both precision-machined, but that's where the similarities end.  In this episode of MakingChips, we're exploring the extremes of manufacturing—from parts that fit on the tip of your finger to parts so massive they require cranes and riggers just to load onto a machine. Paul Van Metre and Mike Payne are joined by two guests who represent the far ends of the machining scale. Josh Hacko, a fourth-generation watchmaker from Sydney, Australia, crafts ultra-small and ultra-precise components for timepieces and high-tech applications like quantum computing and medical implants.  On the other end, Jerry from Baker Industries in Michigan oversees the fabrication and machining of massive weldments and structural components for aerospace, defense, and nuclear energy—some measuring over 50 feet and weighing tens of tons. This episode dives deep into the radically different strategies each shop uses for tooling, fixturing, inspection, quoting, and problem-solving. From tea strainers used to sort microscopic parts to massive additive weld builds handled by 30-ton cranes, it's a fascinating look at how scale transforms every aspect of the job. If you've ever wondered how much machining can vary across the industry, this conversation will expand your view. Whether you're cutting parts measured in microns or managing five-ton setups, one thing remains constant: it's all about having the right people who love the craft.
