Jamie Levy, President and CEO of Generation Mining Limited (TSX:GENM, OTCQB: GENMF), joins me for an update on their fully-permitted and shovel-ready Marathon Copper-Palladium Project in Northwestern Ontario. We talk resources, key metrics from the Feasibility Study, options for the upcoming mine financing, and the potential for funding support from the province of Ontario. We start off talking about he robust resources at Marathon with 1.1 billion lbs of copper, ~4 million ounces of palladium, and 1.3 million ounces of platinum, with some additional co-credits from gold and silver. Jamie highlights the importance of developing domestic sources of these strategic metals in Canada, and the interest from the provincial and federal governments on expediting the construction of new mines and sources of supply in country. The Feasibility Study estimated a Net Present Value (using a 6% discount rate) of C$1.07 billion, an Internal Rate of Return of 28%, and a 1.9-year payback based on the 3-yr trailing average metal prices at the effective date of the Technical Report. Over the anticipated 13-year mine life, the Marathon Project is expected to produce 2,161,000 ounces of palladium, 532 million lbs of copper, 488,000 ounces of platinum, 160,000 ounces of gold and 3,051,000 ounces of silver in payable metals. We discuss the capital stack coming together starting off with the Wheaton Precious Metals stream, which consisted of an early deposit of $40 million (received) and then an upcoming $200M construction payment for 100% gold and 22% platinum production. Endeavour Financing has also helped set up a mandate letter for banking syndicate of Export Development Canada, ING Capital LLC and Societe Generale to arrange a Senior Secured Project Finance Facility of up to $540M. Conditional on final diligence and debt capacity. Additionally, there are ongoing discussions for $200M of deeply subordinated debt, and the potential for government grants. Wrapping up we discussed the experience of the team in developing and building prior mines, and why they'd prefer to build Marathon internally, but are still open to the options of JV partners or a project scale if it was the best value creation for shareholders.

Interview with Alan Carter, President & CEO of Cabral Gold Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/cabral-gold-tsxv-cbr-near-term-production-pivot-advances-6950Recording date: 28th May 2025Cabral Gold Corp (TSXV:CBR) is positioning itself as a compelling transition story in the junior mining sector, advancing its Cuiú Cuiú gold project in northern Brazil from exploration toward near-term production through an innovative low-cost strategy. CEO Alan Carter has architected a development approach centered on extracting gold from saprolite—weathered rock material resembling mud—through heap leach processing, offering significant advantages over traditional hard rock mining.The company's starter operation targets a 60-meter thick saprolite layer requiring no drilling, blasting, or crushing, making it "an earth moving exercise basically, not a rock mining exercise," according to Carter. Metallurgical testing has yielded exceptional results, with 70% gold recovery achieved within 12 days compared to months typically required for heap leach operations. The September 2024 Preliminary Feasibility Study outlined $37 million USD in capital costs, generating a 47% post-tax Internal Rate of Return at $2,250 per ounce gold. With current gold prices around $3,250 per ounce, Carter projects approximately $2,300 per ounce profit margins.Beyond the starter operation lies significant district-scale potential. Historic placer production of 2 million ounces at Cuiú Cuiú compares to just 200,000 ounces at neighboring Tocantinzinho, which became a 2.5 million ounce deposit. Cabral's soil anomaly spans 7 kilometers versus 1.2 kilometers at Tocantinzinho, while the company has identified 50 exploration targets compared to six at the neighboring mine.Recent drilling has delivered impressive results, including 12 meters at 27 grams per tonne and 49 meters at 2 grams per tonne across multiple new discoveries. Following a successful $15 million CAD financing, the company has mobilized multiple drill rigs to advance various targets toward resource estimates.Carter has invested $2 million CAD personally, demonstrating management alignment while rejecting traditional dilutive financing models. The company expects a construction decision by mid-Q2 2025, with production targeted for mid-2026, positioning Cabral to generate cash flow for district-wide exploration while avoiding excessive shareholder dilution.View Cabral Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/cabral-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
Ewan Webster, President and CEO of Thesis Gold Inc. (TSXV: TAU) (WKN: A3EP87) (OTCQX: THSGF), joins me for a comprehensive overview of the combined Lawyers-Ranch Project, which hosts 4.7 million ounce of gold equivalent resources at the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) stage of economics in the Toodoggone Mining District of British Columbia. We start off discussing how this company came together, initially exploring and developing the Ranch Project, and then acquiring Benchmark Metals in 2023 to bring in the Lawyers Project. Then in May of 2024 the combined resource estimate of the Lawyers-Ranch Project was announced with 4.0 Moz AuEq Measured & Indicated (M&I) at 1.51 g/t AuEq, and 727,000 oz AuEq Inferred at 1.82 g/t AuEq. The deposit is primarily gold, but has a significant silver component (with 84 Moz in M+I category), as well as copper credit. In September of 2024 the Company announced the Preliminary Economic Assessment, using metals price assumptions of $1930 gold and $24 silver, which projected an After-Tax NPV (5%) of $1.27Billion, and after-tax Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 35%, and a payback period of 2 years, with All-In Sustaining Costs (AISC) of US $1,013 / Au oz (net byproduct credits) and over a 14 year life of mine. Ewan makes the point that at current spot metals prices of gold near $3,200-$3,300 and silver at $32-$33, that the project economics are significantly expanded. The company is doing a great deal of derisking work at present to build towards a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) by the 4th quarter of 2025. The company is gearing up to kick off a summer drilling program focused on making new discoveries across their district-scale land package, seeking out other areas of potential expansion of mineralization. Additionally, more work will go into moving the permitting process along and initiating work on key permits as the year progresses. Ewan spends some time to unpack the infrastructure advantages in place with easy road access, an airstrip, and access to cheap hydro power. Wrapping up we discuss some of the multiple institutions in place as shareholders along with senior gold producer Centerra Gold as a new strategic investor with a 9.9% stake, and expertise in the area. Centerra Gold owns the Gold/Copper Kemess Mine located in the Toodoggone District, ~45 km south of Lawyers-Ranch and Mt Milligan Mine ~270 km to the southeast. The company is cashed up with CAD $35Million in the treasury and plenty of capital to carry them through the various work programs for the balance of 2025 and into 2026.

Interview with Hugh Agro, President & CEO, and John Meyer, VP Engineering & Development of Revival Gold Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/revival-gold-tsxvrvg-positioned-for-a-rising-gold-market-in-2025-6478Recording date: 31st March 2025Revival Gold recently released results from the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for its Mercur gold project, showcasing strong economic potential with projected annual gold production of 95,000 to 105,000 ounces over a 10-year mine life. At a gold price of $2,175 per ounce, the project demonstrates a Net Asset Value (NAV) of $294 million and a 27% Internal Rate of Return (IRR) after tax. These figures improve dramatically at current gold prices of $3,000 per ounce, with NAV increasing to $752 million and IRR to 57%.The project features modest upfront capital costs of $208 million and competitive operating costs with Cash Costs of $1,205 per ounce and All-in Sustaining Costs of $1,363 per ounce. The resource base consists of approximately 1.4 million ounces of gold, with over 50% in the indicated category, an average grade of 0.6 grams per ton, and metallurgical recovery rates averaging 75%.A significant advantage of the Mercur project is its location on private patented claims just an hour from Salt Lake City, Utah. This allows for permitting through a state process rather than federal, potentially streamlining the timeline to approximately two years. The strategic location provides ready access to equipment, services, and skilled labor without requiring a camp or remote-site logistics.The company has outlined a two-phase development approach, with the first phase involving drilling to convert inferred resources to measured and indicated categories, along with collecting metallurgical samples. The second phase will focus on completing a Pre-Feasibility Study and advancing permitting. The combined budget for these phases is approximately $8 million, with potential construction beginning within 2-2.5 years.Technical risks are mitigated by the project's brownfield status, as the site has been previously mined. Environmental factors appear favorable with no perennial streams, deep groundwater, and no threatened or endangered species identified. The heap leach processing method eliminates the need for tailings facilities, reducing environmental footprint.Revival Gold's overall portfolio now includes both the Mercur project and the Beartrack-Arnett project, representing a combined resource of approximately 6 million ounces of gold. With a current market capitalization of approximately $50 million, the company is trading at just 0.1x NAV and $8 per ounce of gold resource, suggesting significant potential for value appreciation as the projects advance.View Revival Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/revival-gold-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
Interview with Mark Selby, CEO of Canada NickelOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/canada-nickel-tsxvcnc-historic-20m-first-nations-investment-6434Recording date: 2nd March 2025Canada Nickel Company has successfully completed Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) for its flagship Crawford Nickel Project, advancing engineering to approximately 30% completion. Despite a 5% increase in capital costs, the project has demonstrated improvements in Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR).In a strategic optimization move, the company modified its mine plan to prioritize the East Zone over the Main Zone. This decision reduces stripping requirements and truck fleet needs, which helps offset capital cost increases. CEO Mark Selby highlighted the company's efficient development approach, noting they've progressed from "fifth drill hole to feasibility study in just over four years," significantly faster than industry averages of 7-10 years.On the financing front, Canada Nickel has secured letters of intent for $500 million USD from Export Development Canada and $500 million CAD from another financial institution. The next step involves an independent engineering review to validate the company's work. Notably, Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds are showing substantial interest in the project as they seek to diversify their economies beyond oil.Beyond Crawford, the company aims to establish the Timmins area as a premier nickel district. Plans include publishing resources for six additional properties, bringing their total to nine resources in the district. Selby claims the total nickel resource is expected to exceed "the total endowment at Sudbury, which was the world's largest nickel sulfide district."Community partnerships represent another significant advancement, with Canada Nickel announcing construction projects to be delivered by First Nations communities through a business vehicle called Wabun. This approach demonstrates local support and strengthens the company's social license as it progresses through permitting.The company remains on track with its permitting timeline, currently in the final approval stage with the federal government. Approvals are expected by year-end, with provincial permits to follow. Canada Nickel is also exploring non-equity financing options, including royalties, to minimize shareholder dilution.The Crawford project is positioned to become "the Western world's largest nickel sulfide operation" with the flexibility to serve both EV battery and stainless steel markets. This strategic positioning comes at a time when Western economies are actively seeking to reduce dependence on Chinese-dominated supply chains for critical minerals, potentially creating significant long-term value for the company and its investors.View Canada Nickel's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/canada-nickelSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
American Rare Earths CEO Chris Gibbs joined Steve Darling from Proactive's OTC studio in New York City to announce the results of the company's Updated Scoping Study for the Halleck Creek Rare Earths Project in Wyoming. The study reaffirms the project's robust financial performance, scalability, and strategic importance as the only large-scale rare earths project in the United States with a clear path to production, positioning ARR to secure a domestic, tariff-free supply of critical minerals for U.S. and allied markets. The Updated Scoping Study outlines two development scenarios including 3 Million Tonnes Per Annum with a Net Present Value (NPV10%) of US$558 million, Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 24%, Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) of US$456 million and a Payback period of 2.7 years. Gibbs told also shared the second being 6 Million Tonnes Per Annum (Mtpa) Case with a NPV10% of US$1.171 billion, IRR of 28.4%, CAPEX of US$737 million, Payback period of 1.8 years Gibbs also highlighted the success of recent large-scale metallurgical test work, which achieved a tenfold increase in rare earth concentration. Using commercially proven MG12 Spirals and Induced Roll Magnetic Separation (IRMS) technology, the company upgraded mineralized feedstock from 3,438 ppm (0.34%) TREO to approximately 37,200 ppm (3.72%) TREO. This significant increase means that only 6.5% of the mined ore requires further refining, substantially reducing processing volumes and operational costs. The large-scale test program validates the assumptions outlined in the company's initial Scoping Study and reinforces the project's potential for scalable, cost-efficient production of rare earth elements. Gibbs emphasized that these results, combined with the recent increase in the project's JORC Resource estimate, strengthen the long-term viability of Halleck Creek. ARR plans to release an Updated Scoping Study shortly, incorporating these advancements and solidifying Halleck Creek's position as a cornerstone of the U.S. rare earths supply chain. #proactiveinvestors #americanrareearthslimited #asx #arr #otcqx #arrnf #adr #amrry #wyomingrareinc #RareEarthMetals #HalleckCreek #Mining #Neodymium #USMining #CriticalMinerals #ChrisGibbs #ProactiveInvestors #Metallurgy #WyomingProjects #OTCMarkets

Shane Williams, President and CEO of West Red Lake Gold Mines (TSX.V:WRLG – OTCQB:WRLGF), joins me to dive under the hood at the key metrics and takeaways from Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) announced to the market January 7th, working to support the restart of gold production by end of Q2 at the Madsen Mine, in the Red Lake district of Ontario, Canada. We started off digging into the some of the specific numbers noting the very high Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and low capex as positives for the Project. Shane also put more color around why the All-In Sustaining Costs (AISC) had moved higher, due to all the ongoing development work underground; but also highlighted ongoing initiatives that could bring that number down over time. Another key point we kept coming back to was that the PFS was simply a snapshot in time to show that the project is quite economically viable, but that it isn't factoring in 1.1 million ounces of gold in the indicated category or all the other resources still in the inferred categories; not to mention the ability to bring in known deposits at Fork, or Rowan, or the new Upper 8 area. There are a number of levers the company can and will pull over time to show the upside and to optimize bringing in more higher-grade ore earlier in the mine plan. Madsen Mine PFS Highlights: Post-tax net present value (“NPV”) (5%) of $315 million at a long-term gold price of US$2,200 per oz. IRR (post-tax) 255% with a Discounted Payback Period less than 1 year. High Grade Mine: Diluted head grade averages 8.2 g/t gold Average Annual Production: 67,600 oz. gold per year over 6 years of full production, within a 7.2-year mine life Strong Free Cash Flows: $69.5 million average annual free cash flow from an operation with average total operating cost of US$919 per oz. and average all-in sustaining cost (“AISC”) of US$1681 per oz. These metrics and strong value reinforces the rationale to restart the Madsen Mine imminently based on this initial mine plan; with a production start date of Q2 2025. There is also potential for Madsen to grow beyond this initial plan with further definition and exploration drilling strengthens the rationale Construction and Capital Investment to Mine Startup Substantially Complete. Bulk sample currently being mined; mill startup to process bulk sample planned in March; 21 km of modern underground development (since 2019) provides good mining access and represents significant time and cost savings Actual Costs: The Company has been operating underground for 16 months and the mill operated in 2022, which enabled a PFS based on realized costs for most operating metrics. Wrapping up we also touched upon the strong endorsement and key milestone announced on January 2nd, that the Company has entered into a completed credit agreement with Nebari Natural Resources Credit Fund II LP pursuant to which the Company will borrow up to a maximum principal amount of US$35 million to be issued in three tranches of : (i) US$15 million (“Tranche 1”), (ii) US $15 million (“Tranche 2”), and (iii) US$5 million (“Tranche 3”). Tranche 1 was drawn down on December 31, 2024. Shane shared the level of due diligence that Nebari had conducted and how this was simply another layer of professional vetting that the Madsen Mine restart plan has checked off successfully.

Interview with George Sakalidis, Managing Director of Magnetic ResourcesRecording date: 20th December 2024Magnetic Resources (ASX: MAU) has emerged as a significant player in Western Australia's gold sector with a major discovery in the Laverton region, approximately 300km north of Kalgoorlie. The company has delineated nearly 2 million ounces of gold since staking the ground in 2017, achieved through an extensive drilling campaign comprising 170,000 meters across 1,900 holes.The company's flagship Lady Julie North 4 deposit currently hosts 1.5 million ounces, with a resource upgrade expected in January. Recent drilling results have been particularly impressive, featuring high-grade intercepts including 76m @ 2.5 g/t and 24m @ 5 g/t gold. The deposit has demonstrated considerable depth potential, extending up to a kilometer down dip, supporting plans for both open pit and underground operations.A feasibility study, due in March, will examine development scenarios targeting initial production of 150,000 ounces per year. The project's economics appear robust, with preliminary studies based on a A$3,200/oz gold price showing an NPV of A$925 million, EBITDA of A$1.4 billion, and an impressive 135% Internal Rate of Return with a 12-month payback period.The project's strategic location presents significant advantages, sitting just 10-15km from two major processing plants operated by Gold Fields and Genesis. Both facilities are currently operating below capacity, opening potential opportunities for toll treatment arrangements or corporate transactions. The site also benefits from existing infrastructure, including access to a gas pipeline and proximity to established mining roads.Magnetic Resources, led by Managing Director George Sakalidis, has achieved these results at a remarkably low discovery cost of $9 per ounce. The company is well-funded with A$12 million in the bank, sufficient to complete its feasibility study, and is engaged in discussions with banks regarding project financing.The project's development path appears to have two potential routes: either advancing to production independently or pursuing a corporate transaction with neighboring producers seeking additional feed for their processing facilities. The company has established a data room and is entertaining potential M&A interest, though management emphasizes they are equally prepared to proceed with development independently.With its combination of scale, grade, strategic location, and robust economics, Magnetic Resources represents a significant new development in Western Australia's gold sector. The upcoming resource upgrade and feasibility study in early 2025 will be crucial catalysts in determining the project's ultimate development path.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

John Miniotis, President and CEO, and Jeremy Weyland, Senior VP of Projects and Development of AbraSilver Resource Corp (TSX.V:ABRA – OTCQX:ABBRF), both join me to review the results of their updated Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) for the Diablillos silver-gold project, located in Salta Province, Argentina. PFS Study Highlights: All dollar ($) figures are presented in US dollars unless otherwise stated. Base case metal prices used in the PFS are $2,050 per gold (“Au”) ounce (“oz”) and $25.50 per silver (“Ag”) oz. Attractive project economics: 747 million after-tax Net Present Value discounted at 5% per annum (“NPV”); 27.6% Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) and 2.0-year payback period. At current spot prices1 an after-tax NPV5% of $1,291 million with an IRR of 39.3% and payback of 1.5 years. Substantial silver and gold production – 13.4 Moz silver-equivalent “AgEq”) average annual production over a 14-year life-of-mine (“LOM”), comprised of 7.6 Moz Ag and 72 koz Au, with average annual production of 16.4 Moz AgEq over the first five years of full mine production, comprised of 11.7 Moz Ag and 59 koz Au. Low All-in Sustaining Cash Costs (“AISC”)– Average AISC of $12.67/oz AgEq over LOM, and $11.23/oz AgEq over the first five years of full mine production. Initial capital expenditures - Initial pre-production capital expenditure of $544 million (including contingency)with a further $77 million in sustaining capital over the LOM. Significant potential for additional economic improvements: Replacement of on-site self-generation from a combined solar-diesel power plant with a connection to the national grid under a long-term power purchase agreement from a third party. Capturing this opportunity would provide a meaningful reduction to initial capital, lower operating costs and, potentially, improve the carbon footprint of the Project. A revised mine plan based on a new Mineral Resource and Reserve estimate that incorporates the additional Phase IV exploration drilling results at JAC and the northeast zone of Oculto as well as higher metal price assumptions. A new mine plan may present the opportunity to reduce strip ratio, and improve operating cashflow. Expansion of available water resources to the Project to remove constraints on plant throughput resulting in increased metal production. Treatment of marginal material currently classified as waste through secondary processing, such as heap leaching, resulting in increased metal production. Improvements to the design of the Tailings Storage Facility (“TSF”) to reduce capital and operating cost, and also decrease the environmental footprint. Jeremy unpacks the benefits to the economics and from the Incentive Regime for Large Investments (“RIGI”) legislation passed by the Argentinean congress in July, 2024. The key incentives include a reduction of the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 25%; the elimination of export duties levied on gold and silver sales respectively; and accelerated tax depreciation of plant and equipment. He walks us through the timeline for qualifying projects with expenditures above $200M applying for RIGI before the law expires in July, 2026. AbraSilver will apply after they receive their EIA, and then the Company must spend 40% of the investment amount within two years of approval (by no later than July 2028). Diablillos meets all of the required qualifications for RIGI. The PFS considers an execution plan to obtain RIGI approval by no later than Q2 2026, giving the Project until Q2 2028 to spend 40% of the investment, or approximately $200M. John wraps us up with all the exploration catalysts to come from the ongoing 20,000 meter Phase 4 diamond drill campaign on their wholly-owned Diablillos property, which has continued to extend mineralization at both the JAC Zone and Occulto NE, as well as a new discovery made outside of the known resources at the Sombra Target, the drilling at Cerro Bayo, and the copper-gold porphyry targets at Cerro Blanco and Cerro Viejo.

John Darch, Chairman and Director, and Ken MacLeod, President and CEO of Sonoro Gold Corp (TSXV: SGO) (OTCQB: SMOFF), both join me to introduce the Cerro Caliche Gold Project, and the exploration and development initiatives to move it into open-pit production within 12 months of receiving their final permit in Mexico. This 1,400-hectare property confirms a broadly mineralized low-sulphidation epithermal vein structure and over 25 northwest-trending gold mineralized zones along trend and near surface. With only 30% of the property's identified mineralized zones drilled and assayed, the Company filed an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) in March 2023 based on a total 55,360 meters of drilled data, including 498 drill holes, 17 trenches and assays for 53,865 meters of the drilled data. In October 2023, the Company filed a new Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) demonstrating the potential viability for a 9-year open pit, heap leach mining operation. Using a gold price of US $1,800 per ounce, the project has an after-tax net present value discounted at 5% (“NPV5”) of US $47.7M and an Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) of 45%. Using a gold price of US $2,000 per ounce, the project has an after-tax NPV5 of US $77M and an IRR of 63%. John and Ken review the potential for resource expansion, the bench strength and experience of the management team and board, the financial health of the company, the strong inside ownership and backing with even a private unsecured loan, and the plan to grow exploration and resource expansion through the organic revenues generated once the mine is put into production. If you have questions for John and Ken regarding Sonoro Gold, then please email those into to me at Shad@kereport.com. Click here to follow the latest news on Sonoro Gold

Jason Jessup, CEO and Director of Magna Mining (TSX.V: NICU) (OTCQB: MGMNF), joins us to unpack a number of key Company milestones all just achieved in the last few months, including the transformative move into copper and nickel production at the McCready West mine in Sudbury, Canada. We dive into the details of the recently announced acquisition of multiple polymetallic prior producing mines and exploration projects around the Sudbury Basin, the results of the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) from Crean Hill, and the results of the recent bulk sample processing from the 109 Footwall at Crean Hill. Additionally, we review the conditional approval for the Federal Critical Mineral Infrastructure Fund that was just received, to help fund further studies and future development of their projects. Their move into copper production was announced on September 12th, highlighting an agreement with a subsidiary of KGHM International Ltd. to acquire a portfolio of base metals assets located in the Sudbury Basin that includes: the producing McCreedy West copper mine, the past-producing Levack mine, the past-producing Podolsky mine, and past-producing Kirkwood mine, as well as the Falconbridge Footwall (81.41%), Northwest Foy (81.41%), North Range and Rand exploration assets. Jason outlines how he and multiple members of the Magna Mining team had worked at and run the McCreedy West and Levack Mines in the past when with FNX Mining, so that they are very familiar with these assets. While the current flagship will be the McCreedy West Mine, he also lays out the development pathway for bringing back into production the Levack Mine in 2026, and the Podolsky Mine by late 2027. Shifting over to the Crean Hill Mine Project, Jason reiterated that their management team and board is still very interested on developing this asset and moving it towards production by 2027. The PEA was just released to the market on September 17th and highlighted a Pre-tax NPV (8%) of $265.3 million and an Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") of 142% at conservative metal prices. There would be a low pre-production capital cost of $27.7M following AdEx period; and a payback of pre-production period capital within the first year of commercial production, and payback of all capital including AdEx period capital within the second year of commercial production. Crean Hill would have an average underground production rate of 2,200 tonnes per day ("tpd") consisting of 1,650 tpd of higher-margin primary feed and 550 tpd of lower grade, incremental feed. We also reviewed the completion of the recent initiative to mine surface bulk sample at the 109 Footwall Zone at Crean Hill, which commenced on July 2, 2024, and then process the material through the Sudbury Integrated Nickel Operations' ("Glencore") Strathcona Mill, which was completed on September 7, 2024. A total of 20,524 dry tonnes of feed (see Table 1) from the 109 FW Zone was processed over a 5-day period. Concentrate was produced which will be processed through Glencore's Falconbridge Smelter. Jason reiterated that this surface bulk sample program was successful and acquired much of the data required to fully assess the base case metallurgical performance of the 109 FW Zone. Additional testing is being completed on samples collected during the program and will be used to advise future test work, and the ultimate pathway towards nickel, copper, platinum, palladium and gold production in the prolific mining district in Sudbury. Additionally, back on March 27, 2024, Magna announced the signing of a Definitive Offtake Agreement for advanced exploration at Crean Hill with Vale Canada. The Vale agreement excluded the 109 FW Zone as Magna wanted to explore other processing options to improve recoveries for the copper-PGM rich mineralization in this zone. These two agreements with both Glencore and Vale demonstrate the various options for Magna to do future toll-milling agreements and grow their mining business in the Sudbury region. Lastly, on October 9th, Magna Mining announced that it has received notification from Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN) that pending final due diligence, certain initiatives at both the Crean Hill and Shakespeare Mines have been conditionally approved for funding from the Critical Minerals Infrastructure Fund (CMIF). The funding will support pre-construction activities to help advance clean energy and transportation infrastructure at both projects.* If you have questions for Jason regarding Magna Mining, then please email us at Shad@kereport.com or Fleck@kereport.com.

Interview with Elaine Ellingham, President & CEO of Omai Gold Mines Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/omai-gold-mines-tsxvomg-fast-track-to-production-on-43moz-gold-resource-project-in-guyana-5390Recording date: 11th September 2024Omai Gold Mines is rapidly emerging as a compelling investment opportunity in the junior gold mining sector, with its flagship project in Guyana poised for significant growth and development. The company's strategic position in the underexplored Guiana Shield, combined with robust project economics and substantial resource expansion potential, makes it an attractive prospect for investors seeking exposure to the gold market.Led by experienced President & CEO Ela Ellingham, Omai has been aggressively exploring its project for the past three years, consistently expanding its resource base. The company recently released a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) that demonstrates strong project fundamentals, even when based on conservative assumptions. The PEA outlines an operation capable of producing an average of 142,000 ounces of gold annually over a 13-year mine life, with a Net Present Value (NPV) of $556 million at a 5% discount rate and an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 19.8%, using a gold price of $1,950 per ounce.Importantly, these figures are based on only 45% of the current resource and cover just one of two known deposits on the property. This conservative approach suggests significant upside potential as Omai continues to expand its resource base and optimize its development plans. The company recently completed a $13 million financing, with 90% participation from funds, providing the capital needed to accelerate its exploration efforts.Omai's project benefits from several key advantages. The deposit extends over 2.4 kilometers, with zones showing continuity along strike, providing numerous targets for resource expansion. Management has also observed that gold grades tend to increase with depth, suggesting that future drilling could potentially add higher-grade material to the resource. At current gold prices (around $2,500/oz), the project's economics improve dramatically, with the NPV potentially reaching $950 million and the IRR increasing to about 28%.The company's strategy focuses on systematically de-risking and advancing the project towards production. With two drill rigs currently operating and a target of drilling approximately 4,000 meters per month, Omai is well-positioned to deliver a steady stream of news flow and potential catalysts for share price appreciation.From a macro perspective, Omai stands to benefit from several industry trends. Major gold producers are facing declining reserve bases and struggling to replace depleted ounces, driving interest in junior explorers with significant resource potential. The gold mining sector has also seen increased M&A activity as larger companies seek to bolster their project pipelines. Omai's potential for a 20-30 year mine life makes it particularly attractive to mid-tier and major producers looking to establish a long-term presence in a new jurisdiction.While investing in junior mining companies carries inherent risks, Omai's strong fundamentals, exploration upside, and strategic appeal make it a compelling consideration for investors seeking exposure to the gold sector. The company's clear strategy, predictable geology, and significant resource expansion potential offer an attractive risk-reward profile.As CEO Elaine Ellingham states, "We know exactly where we want to drill and as I said, the one slice between 200 and 300 meters gave us over a million ounces. That's the focus at two grams. So we're basically stepping out 150 meters and we know from the drilling we've done it's fairly predictable. We think we can build that up and target a fairly significant deposit."For investors looking to gain exposure to a potentially world-class gold asset in an emerging mining jurisdiction, Omai Gold Mines presents an opportunity worth serious consideration. As the company continues to advance its project and demonstrate its value, it may attract increased attention from both investors and potential strategic partners in the mining industry.View Omai Gold Mines' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/omai-gold-minesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Andrew Williams, President and CEO of New Pacific MetalsOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/new-pacific-metals-nuag-advancing-2-large-bolivian-ag-au-projects-3092Recording date: 28th June 2024New Pacific Metals (TSX:NUAG) is emerging as a compelling player in the silver mining sector, with two significant discoveries in Bolivia that are attracting attention from investors and industry experts. The company's flagship Silver Sand project has recently reached a crucial milestone with the publication of its pre-feasibility study (PFS), while its second project, Carangas, is advancing towards a preliminary economic assessment (PEA).The Silver Sand project's PFS results are particularly noteworthy, showcasing robust economics that position it as one of the world's premier undeveloped precious metals projects. With an after-tax Net Present Value of $740 million at $24 silver, a 37% Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and a payback period under two years, Silver Sand demonstrates significant potential for value creation. The project's NPV to initial capital expenditure ratio of over 2 further underscores its attractiveness.New Pacific's second discovery, the Carangas project, adds another dimension to the company's growth potential. With a PEA expected in the coming months, Carangas could potentially unveil another significant silver asset, further enhancing the company's resource base.One of New Pacific's key strengths lies in its strategic backing. The company boasts strong support from major players in the silver mining industry, with Silver Corp holding a 27% stake and Pan American Silver owning just under 12%. This backing not only provides financial support but also lends credibility to New Pacific's projects and approach.Operating in Bolivia presents both opportunities and challenges. While the country has a rich mining history, it hasn't seen a new large-scale open-pit mine permitted in some time. New Pacific has taken a strategic approach by employing a 100% Bolivian team for its in-country operations, complemented by experienced expats and Vancouver-based management. This structure effectively balances local knowledge with international mining expertise.The silver market outlook provides an attractive backdrop for New Pacific's projects. Silver demand is driven by both investment and growing industrial applications, particularly in sectors such as photovoltaics and electric vehicles. The supply side is constrained, as 75% of silver is produced as a byproduct of other metals, potentially setting the stage for significant price movements if demand outpaces supply growth.From a financial perspective, New Pacific is well-positioned with approximately US$15 million expected in cash reserves by the end of the year. This runway provides the company with flexibility to continue advancing its projects without immediate financing pressure.For investors, New Pacific Metals offers exposure to two high-quality silver assets in a jurisdiction that, while challenging, offers potential for lower costs and less competition. The company's strong backing, experienced management, and advancing projects make it an attractive option for those seeking exposure to the silver market.However, investors should be mindful of the risks associated with mine development in Bolivia and the inherent volatility of the silver market. As with any mining investment, careful due diligence is essential. Potential investors should closely monitor progress on permitting, stakeholder engagement, and project advancement, as well as broader trends in the silver market.View New Pacific Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/newpacificmetalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this episode of the Venture Capital Podcast, hosts Jon Bradshaw and Peter Harris delve into the concept of Asset Under Management (AUM), a crucial term in the venture capital industry. They define AUM as the total amount of assets that a firm is managing, which can include the amount of money raised, invested, and the profits generated.The hosts discuss the importance of understanding AUM, particularly in private equity and hedge funds, where it is used to mark to market and provide a rough indication of the firm's size, deal types, and performance. They highlight the difference between AUM and the amount of cash on hand, emphasizing that firms typically hold very little cash due to the impact on their Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and fund performance.The conversation also touches on the various ways to calculate AUM, including the amount raised, invested, and profits generated. The hosts explain how AUM is affected by capital calls, distributions to investors, and the performance of investments. Throughout the episode, Jon and Peter provide insights into the venture capital industry, discussing how AUM is used to gauge the size and success of a firm, and how it can influence the perception of a firm's capabilities. They also share their own experiences with AUM, with Peter highlighting the importance of transparency in managing AUM, especially for student-run funds.Overall, this podcast episode offers a comprehensive explanation of AUM, its significance in the venture capital industry, and its impact on the performance and reputation of venture capital firms.Follow the PodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/venturecapitalfm/Twitter: https://twitter.com/vcpodcastfmLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/venturecapitalfm/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7BQimY8NJ6cr617lqtRr7N?si=ftylo2qHQiCgmT9dfloD_g&nd=1&dlsi=7b868f1b72094351Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/venture-capital/id1575351789Website: https://www.venturecapital.fm/Follow Jon BradshawLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrbradshaw/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrjonbradshaw/Twitter: https://twitter.com/mrjonbradshawFollow Peter HarrisLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterharris1Twitter: https://twitter.com/thevcstudentInstagram: https://instagram.com/shodanpeteYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@peterharris2812

In 2023, Early Stage Venture Portfolios experienced a downturn following the robust years of '21 and '22. Media outlets suggest an average decline of around 15% for startup funds in 2023, although the methodology behind this calculation remains unclear. David and Paul delve into the nuances of reporting results, focusing on Exit Portfolio outcomes measured through the Distribution of Paid In capital (DPI), synonymous with Return On Investments (ROI). Additionally, they explore reporting methods for Active Portfolios, emphasizing the valuation of ongoing investments and reporting the current Multiple On Invested Capital (MOIC) or ROI. The conversation digs into the complexities of using Internal Rate of Return (IRR) for Active Portfolios, acknowledging its limited significance due to the subjective nature of valuing an active portfolio. The discussion concludes with the presentation of the updated 2023 performance figures for both the entire VentureSouth portfolio and David's individual portfolio.Follow David on LinkedIn or reach out to David on Twitter/X @DGRollingSouth for comments.

Schedule a brief call here: https://calendly.com/justin-732/investor-callIf you've been looking at investment decks lately, you might have noticed a typical return structure popping up more and more. In this post we'll talk about how savings rates have influenced private placement returns & deal structures.Key Highlights:[0:47-1:46] Savings Account Rates Influence Real Estate Returns: Historically, savings account rates have been low, ranging from 0.01% to 0.2% from 2009 to 2020. However, since interest rate hikes in 2022, savings rates have increased, with some high-yield savings accounts offering up to 5% returns. This increase in savings rates affects how real estate operators structure their returns when the Federal Reserve raises the federal funds rate. [2:37-3:28] Investor Decision-making: The higher savings account rates create a dilemma for investors. They now have the option of investing in a 100% liquid and safe savings account with a 5% return or a private syndication or fund projecting a potentially higher return, let's say 15%, but with a certain level of risk and illiquidity. Investors must decide if the additional return from the private investment is worth the additional risk compared to the safety of a savings account.[4:36-5:00] Impact on Deal Structures: To remain competitive with savings account rates, real estate sponsors have been forced to raise their preferred returns. Preferred returns are the percentage of upfront cash flow paid to investors. To strike a balance and attract investors, sponsors have introduced new hurdle structures, such as increasing preferred return projections by a point or two while adjusting equity based on Internal Rate of Return (IRR) achievements. For example, a sponsor might offer a 7% preferred return and 70% equity to investors until a 15% IRR is achieved, and then split equity 50-50 thereafter.
In today's episode, which was originally released in November 2021, we feature Dan Bartholomew, a financial advisor and friend of Jim Pfeifer, who was new to passive investing in syndications. After listening to the podcast for a couple of months, he had accumulated a list of questions for Jim, which led to this informative episode where each question was discussed in detail. This is the perfect episode for those just starting out in passive investing and struggling to comprehend some of the common terms used in the LFI community. This episode is often used as a resource for new investors. This episode is being republished because all the topics discussed are still relevant today. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this throwback episode from 2021!Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: The difference between bonus depreciation and cost segregation Cash-on-cash return vs. IRR return How to screen out the metrics you don't like Understanding the different types of deals Class A vs. Class B Why a triple-net lease makes sense Selling a property or holding it Episode Highlights:[06:48] Bonus Depreciation vs. Cost SegregationCost segregation and bonus depreciation are both tax strategies that allow for accelerated depreciation of assets. Cost segregation involves conducting a study on a property to identify personal property separate from real property. This allows for the separate components to be depreciated over five, seven, or ten years, rather than the typical 27.5-year straight-line depreciation for residential properties and 39 years for commercial properties. On the other hand, bonus depreciation is a provision in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that allows for a 100% depreciation deduction in year one for assets that could only be depreciated at 50% or lower percentages. While this provides a large tax deduction in year one, it also leads to depreciation recapture when the asset is sold. This means that the deferred depreciation is added back to the gain from the sale and taxed at a higher rate of 25%. However, reinvesting the proceeds in a new syndication can offset the recapture and the tax deferral can continue, similar to a 1031 exchange.[12:28] Cash-on-Cash Return vs. IRR ReturnThe cash-on-cash return for ATMs is 25%, which is higher than the typical 6-12% for most syndications. However, it's important to note that ATMs are different from other assets because they don't have any returns at the end as the asset depreciates and isn't sold like an apartment complex. Cash on cash return is calculated by dividing the annual cash flow by the capital invested, while the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) takes into account the time value of money and looks at the total return on investment over time. In typical real estate deals, the IRR is higher because the annual returns are compounded over the life of the investment and there are sales proceeds that contribute to the return of capital. However, with ATMs, there is very little return on capital and virtually no sales proceeds, which is why the cash-on-cash return may be higher than the IRR. Overall, ATMs are an outlier in terms of their unique characteristics compared to other assets.[34:48] Navigating Investment Priorities and Tax Advantages in Real Estate SyndicationsSyndicators often prioritize either cashflow or appreciation in their deals, although it's common to have elements of both. It's worth noting that some syndicators utilize tax advantages such as cost segregation and bonus depreciation while others do not, so it's important to ask about this when evaluating an investment opportunity. While taxes shouldn't be the sole reason for investing, it's vital to speak with the sponsor to determine whether the investment is geared towards cashflow or appreciation. Typically, if the pro forma shows a smaller early-year cash-on-cash return with a larger gain projected in the future, it's an indication that the investment is focused on appreciation
